WORST FOREST

Phenomenal Rainfall is Only
Thing That Can Avert
Bad Situation
Federal Office Issues Pes
simistic Statement on
Present Outlook
PORTLAND. Ore., March 19.
(AP) The United States district
forest office here today announced
that "unless phenomenal rainfall
occurs sometime within the next
threa months, the Pacific north
west will face a forest fire season
probably more disastrous than
that of 1929." The announcement
said the entire district is suffer
ing from a rain and snow defici
ency averaging 40 per cent.
Major John D. Guthrie, assist
ant district forester, declared re
ports indicated forest areas are
drier now than ever before at this
time of the year In the history of
his office. Lower mountain re
gions, he said, are wholly without
the normal snow covering he de
scribed as "an insurance against
a serious fire season."
New Records in Fire
Losses Are Anticipated
"The season outlook," Major
Guthrie declared, "is very bad.
From present indications we can
look forward to a more extensive
season than the last, which set
several fire loss records."
Exemplary, he said, of many
Pacific northwest areas, the as
sistant forester exhibited the" fol
lowing report from Colville na
tional forest ' in northeastern
Washington:
"Things loek pretty gloomy
here. There Is no snow in the low
er mountains, the ground is as
dry as In the summer months and
there is no green stuff growing at
all."
During the last week. Major
Guthrie said, small fern fires, vir
tually unprecedented at this time
of the year, have been reported
from various parts of the Pacific
northwest.
Two rather extensive fern fires
were reported in Lane county west
ct Eugene.
The first drawings on the 1930
jury list were made at the court
house Wednesday afternoon when
the Jury for the April term of the
Marlon county circuit court was
drawn. Carl H. Ostrin, local
dairyman, was the first name
drawn from the box.

Lumber Tariffs
Fate In Balance
In Senate Today
i ....
Vote Expected on Much Discussed Issue; Final
Passage of Completed Bill Is Hoped for
in Next Few Days Say Leaders
WASHINGTON, March 19. (AP) The senate moved a
little nearer the end of its long tariff struggle. tonight
by rejecting two more proposals for duties on oil, approving
a lavy of 30 cents an ounce on silver, now free, and increasing
the existing duty on staple laces from 90 to an average of 127
per cent.
A final desperate attempt by the Oklahoma senators to
get a tariff on oil plunged the senate into one of its most bit
ter debates. Attacks werev
made by the Oklahomans on
the lobby committee, while
members of this committee
retorted with charges of "vote
trading" on oil and sugar by the
Oklahoma and Colorado senators.
Three of the four senators
from these two states entered de
nials of any agreement on the
sugar and oil duties and seven
hours of debate on oil ended with
vote of 38 to 29 against the
proposed oil tariff. A modified
oil proposal also was rejected, 32
to 28.
Tariff on Lumber
To Be Considered Next
One more major rate contro
versy faces the senate the de
mand of the northwestern states
for a tariff on soft wood lumber,
now on the free list and that
probably will be disposed of to
morrow. Leaders were still hoteful to
night of final passage of the tariff
measure before the end of the
week.
The thrice-defeated hide, lea
ther and shoe rates probably will
come to another vote before the
final roll call. Senator Herbert,
republican, Rhode Island, who
won the lace increase tonight,
served notice he wonld ask a re
consideration of the action deny
ing tariff protection to those
three free list commodities.
Washington Senator
Brings in New Bill
Senator Jones, republican.
Washington, introduced a modi
fied lumber tariff amendment
ust before the close tonight, call
ing lor a rate of ? 1.50 a thousand
board feet on fir, spruce, nine.
hemlock, and larch lumber.
Jones' $2 proposal was defeated
several weeks ago.
Senator Pittman, democrat. Ne
vada, was the author of the 30
cents an ounce tariff on silver,
which won. 55 to 12.
With disposition of the lumber
controversy and a proposal of
Senator Norrls. republican. Ne
braska, to suspend duties where
monopolies in restraint of trade
are found to exist, a batch of in
dividual amendments to scattered
sections of the bill will remain for
balloting.
Scores of these are pending.
Senator Copeland, democrat. New

Final Vote Scheduled Upon
Submission of Water Ap
praisal Measure
Pledge of eight councilmen to
a petition calling a special meet
ing Tuesday, March 25, has been
assured according to City Attor
ney Trindle who said Wednes
day night that Dave O'Hara, al
derman, would circulate the pe
tition today to make the meet
ing possible. The special meet
ing is to be called to take a final
vote on an ordinance which
places a 37,000 bond measure on
the May 16 ballot. If approved
by a majority vote of Salem eiti
tens, the revenues from the bonds
would be used to make an ap
praisal of the Oregon-Washington
Water company's plant here.
Trindle pointed out that the
voting of the bonds did not mean
that the city would be pledged
to buy the plant but rather to
take the preliminary step neces
sary be tore determining on a pur
chase policy. Under section six
of the city charter such an ap
praisal is necessary beiore any
public utility purchase may be
put. to a vote of the people.
The matter came, ub at the
last council meeting and it was
moved that the rules be suspend
ed and the issue -placed on rina
passage but Alderman Dancy ob
jected. Proponents of the spe
cial meeting next Tuesday want
the measure agreed upon so any
possible legal action against the
vote may be had before the May
is election.
Legal voters in Salem will not
necessarily be qualified to vote
In May on the bond Issue under
the legislative act of 1929 which
provides that actual taxpayers
alone can qualify to ballot on
proposed bond issues. This re
striction will bar at least half of
the ordinary number of voters,
it is pointed out.
Small Boys Are
Held as Thieves
Three small boys living in the
northeast part of Salem were
turned over to County Judge Sleg
mund Wednesday by city officers
who charged them with breaking
into and robbing a garage at 1195
North 17th street. The Oregon
News company uses the property
a place to store its automo
bile and at times to store pen
cils, stationery and otLer materi
als. The building has been broken
Into twice In the last six weeks.
Gangs of small boys are said
to have been active in the last
few weeks committing petty thefts
and police officers are determined
to put an end to the practice..

By Windstorm
SPOKANE, March 19. (AP)
Gale-like wind storms, accom
panied by a dust pall that hid the
sun and bathed the countryside In
a murky yellow light, today swept
over eastern Washington, nortn
ern Idaho and western Montana,
leaving a path of destruction In
their wake.
Near Plains, Mont., the gale
roared up the Missoula river, lift
ed the east span of the Clark fork
highway bridge and toppled it
into the river. I ley sheds and
other small buildings in the vicin
ity wefe wrecked, and much tim
ber was leveled.
At Davenport. Wash., a 5000
bushel steel grain storage tank,
weighing four tons was destroyed.
The tank was set Into a concrete
base with half Inch bolts. At
times during the peak of the
storm dust was so thick that visi
bility for more than 60 yards was
Impossible.
In many sections of eastern
Washington and northern Idaho
power lines were blown down and
trees bowled over onto them, tem
porarily cutting off service. In
the Cascade mountains between
Ellensburg and Cle Elum the high
tension lines feeding the Ellens
burg municipal power plant were
blown down. Crews from both
cities were sent into the moun
tains, but they were unable to re
port the extent of the damage be
cause telephone connections were
broken.
A half mile tunnel under the
Yakima river was reported to be
filling with water, and all but
one of the battery of motors used
for pumping were submerged.
Poultry raisers said that the
temporary nower shatoff had
killed many unhitched ehfckens
in their incubators.

SALEM WILL PLAY
Locals Given Even Chance to
Grab Off Win From East
Oregonian Quint
The Salem high school basket
ball team will today make Its first
appearance In the state tourna
ment, meeting the strong Quintet
from Baker, champion of district
No. 1, at 4:30 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. Local fans have not conceded
Salem high much of a chance In
this year's tournament, although
why this should be is not exactly
clear. The red and black held Its
own with all opponents in the
seventh district, even though It
did not have the incentive of hav
ing to win in order to get Into
the tournament.
Salem high defeated Ashland
decisively, and while It lost to Eu
gene and Astoria, supremacy of
those teams over the locals was
not thoroughly established. The
red and black outplayed Eugene
during most of its game with the
district No. 6 champions, and lost
solely through inability to sink
free throws, a difficulty overcome
later in the season. The games
with Astoria were similarly close
and Indecisive.
The local team Is, however,
handicapped by the absence of Its
regular center, Graber, who was
taken 111 last week with mumps,
Coach Huntington has made a
shift which apparently overcomes
this loss, working West at center
on the tlpoff and moving him back
to guard from then on.
The red and black Is conceded
an even chance to win from Baker
today, in spite of its crippled con
ditlon.
The other remaining first round
game will be played at 10:30 this
forenoon, Astoria and Ashland be
ta r the contestants. AH eyes are
on Astoria as a likely state cham
pion.

The versatile attack exhibited
by the charging green shirted
quintet from Commerce high of
Portland, proved too much for
the Railsplitters of Lincoln in the
first evening game of the state
tournament Wednesday, Com
merce winning 30 to 20. The
second game Wednesday night
proved to be the tightest and
most exciting of the tournament
so far. Tillamook nosing out
North Bend 16 to 11 after they
were tied at half time and at
the end of the third period.
Close checking featured the
game between the two Portland
schools for the first tew minutes
and there was little scoring, Lin
coln getting three points before
Commerce started.
Commerce Takes Lead
At Close of Period
Then Applegate, Reimer and
Scroggins began dashing In
through the tight Lincoln defense
to deposit the ball where It be
longed, and at the end of the
first period Commerce was
ahead 8 to 3. There was more
of the same in the second period.
Lincoln again getting a single
field goal while Commerce was
sinking four. The half time score
was 17 to 7.
Lincoln's long range attack up
to this point had proven futile,
but It worked beautifully In the
third period and the Railsplitters
outscored the Portland champions
seven points to five, but Com
merce kept its safe lead and
lengthened It out in the final
period. Each team scored 13
points In the second half.

British Premier and M.
Briand Hold Last
Minute Talk
LONDON. March 19. (AP) t
Indication that a way has been
found to break the Franco-Italian
deadlock over naval parity, a
deadlock which threatened tb
very life of th five-power naval
conference here, was seen tonight
In a surprise meeting between
Ramsay MacDonald, prime min
ister of Great Dritain, and Aristida
Briand, foreign minister t
France.
The two talked at French head
quarters la the Hotel Carlton.
Their conversation lasted two and
a halt hurs. and after it M.
Briand said:
"We have been talking about
means to bring the conference to
a successful conclusion and wa are
going to apply those mean? as
quickly as possible."
Hurried Interview Held
Between Two Delegates
This afternoon M. Briand had
informed Mr. MacDonald that he
was going to Paris tomorrow for
a conference with Andre Tardiea
and would return with the French
premier when the latter cam
here for the week end. Mr. Mc
Donald then telephoned M. Briand
and requested an Interview, hurry
ing to the hotel, accompanied by
his daughter. Mi3s Ishbel.
Tnat the conference proved un
expectedly important was shown
by the fact that Miss MacDonald
obvious): had been expecting a
quick asfcrminatlon of the. conver
sation as she waited for her fath
er in the lobby during the entire
two hours and a half.
M. Briand was cornered by a
handful of newspapermen after
the conference. He was as bob-!
committal as usual about details,
but was quite definite in saying
the situation had taken a new.
turn and that optimistic events
were in the air.
"Always, when things seems at
their worst, one finds a way out,"
he said. "That is true now."
He added his remark about ap
plying means to make the confer
ence successful.
Mr. MacDonald came from M.
Briand's room with a smiling
face and greeted his daughter in
an nnusuaUy cheerful manner, but
he declined to answer any .us
tlons. The French leader. In evading
discussion of details, said:
"I am in the habit of chatter
ing too much and then I am re
proached for It afterwards. W
have been taking our bearing
and experts have been making the .
observations precise.
This remarks served to bring
out the fact that Rene Massigll,
French naval technician, and Mr.
Cragle of the British delegation,
were present during part of the
conversation.
