against the fire so far a losing one.
It is estimated that between
where the fire is now and Mill City
is about a 10 mile stretch, all solid

if the weather was clear there
would be no difficulty in seeing
the fire from Salem, so high are
the flames and smoke rolling.
He stales a little way out of Sll
vcrton In the hills the fire Is plain
ly visible and that great clouds of
smoke are rolling up.
It is presumed that the fire start
ed from a spark from a donkey
engine, although no definite details
have boon received in regard to
thnt part of it.
Tho reports received by Porter
lid not state how wide a swath the
fire had cut In the timber, al
though they did stato that It had
burned for a dlstanco of 10 miles
directly through the solid timber.
The office of the Silver Falls
company stated this afternoon by
telephone that the latest Informa
tion received in Silverton was that
the fire was under control in that
company's holdings, but had got
ten into holdings of the Silverton
Lumber company. Manager Cow-
den of the latter company said the
fire in the Silverton Lumber com
pany's holdings was so far In old

was doing no damage. Ho said that

Millions of yor.rs lost in the na

generation by failure to edopt the
metric system of weights and
measures was the estimate pre-
seated to the American Chemical
society's meeting hero today by
Professor Eugene C. Hlnglium ol
Lafayette college, Kaston, Pa.
Professor Bingham also declar
ed that discarding of tho present
English system in favor of the
metric tables would simplify buy
ing. The total gain, he said
would mean a revolutionary ad
vance In national economy through
the mere use of the decimal point.
In a resolution ndopted today
by the society's council, manufac
turers of . photographic plates,
films and chemicals wero request
ed "to publish approved metric
formulas in add'-t-uu to the Eng
lish formulas."
rime-saving can be accomplish
ed in the schools, it was pointed
out, because a vast number of
schools hours Is devoted to master
ing the English system, while, the
metric system can bo learned
with relatively little effort.
One benefit to the school pupils
would be the virtual elimination
of common fractions from arith

eign office spokesman felt that
Greece was acting with great pre-
nlpituncy and lie observed that the
Bulgarian government was willing

bondholders, he said, were not in
formed that the state's guarantee
of interest is only tor a period of
less than five years, a nd this Is
not shown on the face of the bond
or the coupons.
Members of the commission said
that Colonel Place had made a
frank statement of tho condition
of the Silver Lake project, and
that his remarks could as well
apply to other eastern Oregon pro
jecta which oggregate bond la
sues of nearly $15,000,000.
While the state is not legally
bound beyond its short-time guar
antee of interest, it Is believed
there looms in the offing an at
tempt by bond companies to forco
upon tho state the entire obliga
tion for the bonds.
