Wash.. April 19 (JPl A possibility that the embargo placed upon Russian lumber Imports today by Great Britain may aid soft wood lumber export soles in Oregon and Washington and particularly Bri tish Columbia, was held out today in a statement by the West Coast Lumbermen's association. The association, however, pointed out that Russia, denied the British market to which she sold 48 percent of her exported lumber last year, may decide to "dump" the lumber elsewhere, threatening International number trade at other points. The (4 a thousand import tax on lumber levied by this country would not keep Russia from "dumping" a half million feet of lumber in the states, if she wanted to, in the opin ion of the association. If the embargo is maintained, the association believes Great Britain will probably first turn to the Baltic countries for her lumber. However, reports from the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce have indi cated low stocks in these countries, Finland, Sweden and Norway, are low because of tack of demand dur ing the past three years. "The effects of the embargo re ported as placed by Great Britain on Russian lumber snipments, u the action remains in force for any length ot time, will be felt In the lumber trade throughout the world," the association's statement said. "It may be of great Importance to the lumber industry of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, depending on the duration of the embargo and the amount of stock on hand in Sweden, Finland and Nor way. "However, if the pound continues to go up and the dollar down, we may be able to move into the mar ket. Due to superior manufacturing conditions we can get lumber into shape in about a week or 10 days, whereas it takes six months in the Baltic states." The association revealed that Russia has taken over much of the door export business, which former ly went to Washington state, and that the embargo might put new life into that division. SCHERER ELECTED BY PRESBYTERIANS Portland, Ore., April 19 (P) Un less unexpected financial aid be comes available the Oregon Presby tery will send no commissioners to the general assembly of the Presby terian church to be held in Colum bus, Ohio, next month.

POETIC NAMES SELECTEO FOR OREGON MINES Oregon miners, who have dug and delved in search of fortune that more often than not eluded them, have an occasional imaginative twist of mind, a persual of the names of mining companies shows. Hope, so some epigramlst said. springs eternal, and it Is presumab ly that eternal hope that led to the naming of some of the mines of Oregon. For Instance, there is the Cinderella at Halsey. It is not re corded that the Cinderella produced gold that like magic changed the life of her founder, but ft is appar ent that the owner hoped she would, and that he knew his fairy tales. Hope, by the way, is the name of a Medford mine. Then of course there would be a Bonanza, all mining states have one or more of them, which supposedly produce gold in great quantities to the delight of everyone. Along the same line of thought is the Cornu copia, the horn of plenty, at Baker, and the Eldorado, the fabulous city of good fortune, at Weston. Someone who remembered the story of the king who turned every thing he touched to gold christened the Midas gold mine near Medford, but the tale of golden touch which might have been given the Oregon man remains untold. The Green Back mine was founded, evidently by a man who considered other forms of currency Just as good as gold. The discoverer of the Lucky Boy mine at Blue river considered him self just that at first, and Bullion Mountain, at Grants Pass, was ap parently over-optimfstlcally named. A miner who thought he had struck It richer than most other men chris tened the Daddy Lode at Baker. This can be matched with the Mo ther Lode, also at Baker. The Gem at Baker was a good producer. Whoever named the Golden Cross mine at Bend may or may not have been an admirer of William Jen nings Bryan, but he apparently knew his politics. So did the man who named the Gold Standard ftt Ashland. Someone added a Spanish touch with the El Oro at Baker. There is a touch of the Old West glamour in the name of the Jack Pott at Grants Pass, and how the High Bar at Burns came to be named can be guessed. There are many versions as to the origin of the name Jump-off-Joe located near Grants Pass, and one guess is as good as another. The Red Boy at Baker can be matched with the Yellow Boy in the same territory. The latter may have been named for some of the Chinese miners who had phenom onal luck occasionally in the early days of Oregon. The Red Bird and the Cardinal, also at Baker, may be added to the color scheme. The Ti tan mine at La Grande must have been named by someone with at least a smattering of classical his tory, while the Giraffe was prob acy only a fantasy. Names of girls or women figure In Oregon mining too. Most noted was the Josephine, for which Josephine county was eventually named. Oth ers include the May Belle, Salem; Pearl, Central Point; Rowena, Springfield; and possibly, the Vir tue, Baker. Geographical names are found In the Flagstaff, Baker; Polar Star, Portland; Rising Sun, Canyon City; Tunis, Portland; and Vesuvius, Eu gene. There are approximately 250 min ing companies chartered for oper ation in Oregon, In addition to num erous independent operators. In ad dition to gold, other minerals and metals are fcound such as silver, copper, mercury, iron, coal, oil, gas, and building stone. JAPS MAY BUY SOVIET INTEREST IN RAIL SYSTEM Tokyo, April 19 (IP A foreign office spokesman intimated today that Japan might seek to purchase Soviet Russia's Interest in the Chi nese Eastern railroad in behalf of Manchoukuo. The spokesman denied Japan had been responsible for - difficulties along the important rail line which inspired a sharp note of protest from Leo Karakhan, Soviet com missar for foreign affairs, which was forwarded to Tokyo yesterday. Ka rakhan made his "primary error," the spokesman said, in assuming that Japanese members of the Man choukuo government received orders from Tokyo. The nurchase scheme now under consideration would call' for cancel lation of Japanese debt claims against Russia in return for the Soviet's half interest in the road The debt claims total 500,000,000 yen. The spokesman emphasized that if any cash outlay were de manded, Japan would not be inter ested. Japanese officials studied the text of Karakhan's protest in which he accused the Japanese of violat ing an agreement to protect Soviet property, and charged that Man choukuo authorities had counte nanced bandit raids on the road and imprisoned Soviet employes. Foreign Minister Takashl Uchida will reply to Karakhan orally through the Russian ambassador t his convenience, the spokesman said. He intimated that Uchida would insist upon a direct Manchou kuo-Soviet solution of the difficul ties without Japanese collaboration. SALES TAX DRIVE GETS UNDER WAY Portland, April 19 () An em phatic, well-defined campaign hi support of the sales tax which was approved by the legislature and re ferred to the people, will get under way within a few days, it was said here today following appointment of an executive committee of the property tax reduction committee which will direct the campaign.

"William Dawes, Jr." galloped through Middlesex villages again today in commemoration of the 15Bth anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord.

Curley of Boston to Con cord bridge, where was fired "the shot heard around the world." Thirsty Bay Folk Much Disappointed MtU'sMield, Ore., April 19 U Restaurants, newspaper offices and rail officials were bombarded yes terday with a barrage of queries concerning the contents of several rciri&crator cars brought in. by the Southern Pacific and left on a sid ing here.

STORMY LIFE OF JUDGE ENDS Boston, April 19 rp) Webster Thayer, the Massachusetts Judge who pronounced sentence of death upon Nicholas Sacco and Barthol mew Vanzetti, was dead today at the age of 75. The jurist succumbed to a cerebral embolism, suffered Friday in his room at the University club here, and his condition had been too crit ical for him to be moved. His wife was with, him from the time he was stricken. Judge Thayer's conduct of the trial in 1930 of Sacco and Vanzetti, worker radicals charged with shoot ing a paymaster and his guard during a . holdup, his denial of a new trial for the convicted men, and his imposition of the death penalty seven years later, caused him to be one of the most bitterly attacked judges in legal history, Likewise, he was one of the most stoutly defended. Social issues grew out of the trial which have reverberated around the world. Each anniversary of the execution on August 23, 1927, have been marked by meetings In various countries, and the names became a symbol among liberal groups. Last fall the Thayer's home in Worcester was destroyed by a bomb which slightly wounded Mrs. Thay er, and a movement was pending in legislature to reimburse the Jur ist $25,000 damages. After the bombing a state trooper in plain clothes was assigned to guard the judge and remained with him wher ever he went. CONSTANTINE TAKES DRY CHIEF'S OFFICE San Francisco, April 19 () John L.
