Hillsboro, Cornelius and Forest Grove equipment was used in an unsuccessful attempt to save the H. Parry sawmill at North Plains in Washington county. The mill was destroyed at a loss of be tween $10,000 apd $12,000 and 4 0,000 feet of cut lumber. - Other blazes, none, of major proportion, were reported at the junction of Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook and Washington coun ties.

At the same time, the ..senate naval committee fired "question after question at Col.

Both Knox, ; the republican par tyfs 138 vice presidential nom inee, and Stimson, secretary of state in the Hoover cabinet, told the committees that no anti-third term pledge by President Roose velt was Involved in the negotia tions , leading to their; appoint ments., i The Stimson appointment was approved 14 to 8. and adminis tration factions Within the naval committee are of the opinion that when the Knox nomination comes to a vote tomorrow sot more than five rotes will be east against confirmation. : j The naval committee, making rapid progress, had expected to reach a vote on the Knox nomin ation today.
