Thomp on. aupervlsor of the forest, Thursday. The total receipts from these sales amounted to $72,880. The bulk of the timber sold from the forest last year went to the Western Lumber company, operating at Westflr. This con cern operates exclusively with timber from government lands, none being cut on privately owned lands. The rest of the sales were made to a number of small saw- . mills and some to Individuals for fuel, costs, shakes and the like. One sale of yew wood, the first of Ita kind ever made In the Cas cade forest, went to L. L. Dalley, Eugene archery enthusiast, for the purpose of making bows. Suit able wood for bow staves Is scarce and la hard to find but a con siderable quantity is found on the ridges In the Cascade forest at an elevation of 300 to 400 feet. That found on the lower levels Is not deemed to be suitable tor bows. Mr. Dalley bought 24 of these yew staves to be used In making bows and If they prove to be satisfactory a great deal more of this timber will be bought, It Is stated. t b fiv.

(U.RWleorge Leaf, 23, University of Oregon student, was seriously HI here to day. Detectives were Investigat ing a report he had attempted suicide because a Seattle girl Jilted him. Leaf, member of a Fortland family, allegedly drank poison after calling the girl by telephone nnd telling her of his Intention. Mlsa Jloth Montgomery, who noti fied employes of Moore hotel after Leaf had made the reported threat, was questioned by police. (Hy United Press) The state department's action hnd a mixed reception on Cnpitol Hill. Senate Majority Lender Watson said: "Secretary Rtimson hod a perfect right to invoke the pact. I do not think it will do nny jjood, The Japan ese have Manchuria. They conducted a wnr to get it." Senntor Jones, republican, Wash ington, said: "I am inclined to think It was a de sirable action. But thoe.se matters between nations must be bandied carefully. I do not want to approve anything that would send our young men to Asia." Action Approved Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, said: "I approve of the action and rejjret that It wos not done enrlier." . For se v nil months a feeling of un certainty has been reflected In Amer ican newspapers n to why the Kel losg pact had not been formally In voked In view of reported clashes at arms In- Manchuria. The administra tion hns not hitherto cln rifted its po sition puhliclv. evidently hnvin? honed for a tranniiilizetion of the Mnnehur i'in situation without such a drastic sten. Chinese official opinion hns been that thero was a clear violation of the nact. Chinese held that Jnnanese mil itary movements were uninstified. nc gressive advances against a peaceful neighbor. The Japanese- maintained, however. that their nrtinrm tn Manchuria not constitute a violation of the Kel- ' Iocs pact. The Jnnanese declared their operations were in the nature of "po ncing made necessary by disorders or.d incursions of Irresnonfible Chi nese and bandits. The Japanese have persistently denied that a "state of war" existed. The Kellocg part 'pledges signatory nations not to resort to wnr as an in strument of national policy. There is no machinery in the Kel lojrt? treaty for enforcing its peace provision. Invocation of the pact con stitutes formal notice to Japan to the Ketloptr agreement. The action simply calls the world's attention to a treaty violation by a signatory and leaves it solely to the pressure of world opin ion to cuuite the violator to restore peace. The nine power treaty guarantees the integrity of China.
