Hurplun Wheat Now Practically All J)1nhmhmI of, and Mill" Am Given I'lnnty of Itollhitf HUM'k Kantern Condition Hotter. All Ilia must end, and the car ahortage In Hi effect on llond la no exception to tho rulo, Local rati road men are having tholr hands full taking care of tho heavy shipping, for rolling stock sufficient to meet all demands Is being aunt to liund. Freight and Passenger Agent Keller fixes tho average number of cars being received as 30 dully. Tho con trast between this and tho winter and late spring supply will be aoen when It la remembered that during the shortage a 10 car average was not unusual. In mld-wlnter and for a large part of spring, a major share of the 1910 wheat crop was warehoused, and stacked on tho ground near stations between Bond and tho Columbia, for lack of means to move It, but the thousunds of bushels of cereal thus withheld from tho market havo now practically all been taken out of tho country, Mr. Keller says. Chief among the Central Oregon Industries to feel the change are the big llend mills, which during the winter piled up vast quantities of excess stock, and built warehouses to hold finished products, keeping the plants running until It would be possible to fill tho rapidly piling up contracts for white plno lumber. The car supply now ts not only allowing the mills to work to full capacity, but In addition to taking care of tho dully output, la permitting them gradually to fill tho old orders. "Wo can expect that those condi tions will cqntluuo until the tlmo comes to move tho 1917 wheat crop." Mr. Roller .atntus, "and It's up to shippers to do tholr shipping while the shipping ia good."

Nine Lookouts, Watching 3,000,000 Acre In Three Counties, to Be port Hero Mill Tax Per Acre to Cover Coat. Plans to make Bend the center of a fire lookout system covering 3,000,000 acres of timbered land In Central Oregon, will go into effect this season as the result of a con ference between government forestry officiala and county fire protection officials, which waa held yesterday in the offlcea of the Deschutes Na tional forest. The outline for co operat'on Is the largest In scope which has ever been put Into effect in this section of. the state. Super visor W. G. Haatlngs declares. According to the suggestions for fire fighting this summer, which were endorsed as a part of the 1917 pol icy, nine lookout points will be se lected in Deschutes, Lake and Klam ath counties, each communicating with the forestry office in Bend. It will be the duty of the office instant ly to apprise private owners of any fire danger to their holdings, and at this stage will end the responsi bility of the forestry department, as each timber owner will be supposed to have "smoke chasers" to put out flreB as soon as notification of the danger Is received. In any case of extreme necessity, however, the na tional foresters and) private fire fighters will join forces. Hewmn WU1 Be Hhort. It Is estimated that the system agreed on would necessitate a levy of one mill per acre, and this re ceived general endorsement. The total acreage of timber Includes 1.250.000 acres of government owned lands, 750,000 privately owned, and about 1,000,000 acres of "no man's land," where the timber Is not val uable, but is capable of spreading disastrous fire to other sections. Mr. Hastings is of the opinion that while the 1917 fire season will be a brief one. it may be particularly acute. Those present at yesterday's con ference were State Forester F. A Elliott, Norman G. Jacobson, of the district office in Portland; J. H Haner, secretary of the Deschutes County Fire association; J. F. Kim ball, secretary of the Klamath and Lake County Fire associations; Gil bert D. Brown, supervisor of the Fremont National forest; W. G. Hastings, supervisor of the Deschutes National forest, and H. E. Vincent, ranger in the Sisters district.
