COMAWAY
TO
MULTNOMAH CLUB
PORTLAND MANAGER GREATLY
ELATED OVER HIS "FIND"
IN THIS CITY.
Eien To Reopen.
Joseph. July 1. Ed Eben, one of
the members of the Joseph Mercan
tile company, whose stock or goods
was recently destroyed by fire, has
gone to Portland to buy a new stock
of goods. He will open for himself.
Frank E. Watkins, manager of the
Multnomah Club track team, which
will take part In the A. A. U. meet
at the Seattle Exposition next month,
has unearthed a fine in A. B. Cona
way, a former Wisconsin athlete,
who is just now practicing at Enter
prise, Or. say.s the Oregonlan. He
has written to express his readiness
to don the club's colors. Conaway
has been out of college only a year,
but bos kept himself in such good
physical trim in the meantime that
he could enter a meet with very lit
tle training.
In build, Conaway is a strapping
young Hercules. He stands 6 feet
5 inches in height and strips at 230
pounds. He took second In the shot
put and third in the hammer-throw
in the big Western conference meet
at Chicago in 1907, and he holds the
shot-put record of the Iowa Intercol
legiate association, besides the ham
mer and shot-put records of the Mis
souri Atlantic association" Watkins
Is confident that Conavay can do his,
part toward taking care of the weight
events at the meet with full credit
to the club, even in case Ralph Rose,
Flanagan, Sheridr.n and McGrath are
among his competl ors.
In addition to his ability as a track
athlete, Conaway U also a strong
football player. On Ms college team
he held down one of the guards posi
tions for several years. As he likes
the game and has written to WatSins
that he would li- to meet some of
the club's f00r.5r.ll men and have-a
look at their linaup. it is probable
he will be seen on the field in the
coming season.
The foregoing article gives Mr.
Conayay as an alumnus of Wisconsin
which is incorrect. He Is a graduate
of Drake University at Des Moines,
Iowa, and his height Is 6 feet, 5
inches.
Leo Forsythe has arrived home
from the East. He attended the Bliss
Electrical school in Washington D.
C. from September till the close
about June 1, and since then had
been visiting eastern cities.
Water Mains At

8 Inch pipe Arrive And Big 8team
' Ditcher Again At
Work.
After conslcU able delay, enough
pipe has arrived to complete the
supply main to the reservoir. All the
eight inch pipe Is on the ground.
Pipe laying was completed to the
county road at McCormick'a Wednes
day. The ditch had been dug that
far two wectks ago and the big steam
ditcher took a long rest, waiting for
pipe so the pipe laying could catch
up with the open trench.
This was done Wednesday and
Thursday the big ditcher started
again, cutting angling across the
Stumbaugh place and on Friday was
coming Into town down the cqunty
lane that connects with River street,
The main will be laid down River
street to Residence street, thence
across o he reservoir on Aklns hill.
The reservoir is complete and ready
to receive water.
Engineer R, K, Lowry was here
Thursday and was pleased with the
progress of the work. He says work
will begin on La Grande's new sys
tem as soon as the eastern attorneys
approve tjje legality of the recent
election, which shouldn't take them
long as they prepared all the papers.

W. J. FUNK a CO.
Portland, Or., July 1. State of
ficials, associations, and individuals
will cooperate with the United States
Forest Service tn an attempt to get
accurate records of all fire losses i'i
Washington and Oregon this sum
mer. The Forest Service will com
pile a report showing by counties, the
area burned over of merchantable
tlm'jcr, nan.aiQrhan.able timber, end
cut over land; the quantity t.nd value
of the timber destroyed, and tho co3t
of fighting the flre3. In this way the
Federal and State Governments as
well as the public will be enabled to
obtain at once systematic Informa
tion concerning all fire losses In these
states.
Heretofore, this Information has
been only pcrtia ly collected. Tlie
Forest Service has secured compre
hensive reports from rangers on the.
National Forests, but from no othe
source. The State Boards of Forea:
ry In Oreson and Yashlngtoa hav
had reports from their wardens, bu
mrjiy regions hai no wardens. The
Slate and Government statistics wert
In different fsrm and not brougat
together. Consequently, althougt
those interested in the subject know
In a general way that fire entails an
enormous, loss, to the community evprj
year, they have been unable to bach
their arguments for remedial action
with any definite proof,
District Forester E, T. Allen is re
celvlne the active help of the Ore
gon conservation Association, the
Oregon State Board of Forestry, and
the Washington Forest Fire Assocla
tlon in organizing the -work. . Tht
two latter have revised their repor.
forma to bring out the same facts
regarding ail fit j. The Oregon Con
.nervation Asaocla'ion is canvassln;
the state to secure suitable men t
act as fire wardens and report or
fires in their teriltory and present
their names to tie State Board fo
appointment, It will also send eacl
man a post card reminder every twt
weeks, with a return card on whlct
he will enter a few main facU abou'
the fire. The Washington Fores
Fire Association will collect reports
from its rangers and from other cor
respondents where it has no rangers
The Forest 8ervice will furnish frank
ed envelopes for mailing: In the re
ports, and compile the results. The
Washington State Board of Forestry
! has not made any agreement as yet.
but will undoubtedly furnish all the
aid it can.
Every lumbeiman, or any one else
who is interested in preventing fores
fires, will see the advantage in brl.ig
Ing this informatton before the pub
ile and can be of great assistance bj
reporting flrea la his vicinity. ForinB
will be furnished on application ' to
the Secretary of the Oregon State
Board of Forestry, or, in Washington,
to the Washington Forest Fire Asso
ciation.
Working along the line of securing
the greatest results ia protection
against fire, with a minimum of ex
pendiutre, the Forest Service has de
cided to establish on the most advan
tageous points of the National Forest
In the west a series of lookout sta
tions from which news of the break
ing out of forest fires can be tele
phoned to Fore officials.
Since all of these stations will com
mand a view of the country for miles
around the work of detecting and ex
tinguishing fires in their Inclpiency
will, by this plan, be greatly expedit
ed, with the result that many thous
ands of dollars worth of valuable tim
ber wiH re saved annually.
to mou of the National Foreat
states the climate is very dry, ana
the rainfall light. Conditions, there
fore, are remarkably favorable for
the spread of fire and extraordinary
diligence is necessary in patrolling
dangerous areas. To administer ths
vast area Included in the National
Forests, approximately I95,000,ouu
acres, the government has about 1,100
men in the field. If each man could
be used for fire patrol, he would
have to, cover approximately 138,000
acres. As a matter of fact, nowever,
the volume of business on the Nation
al Forests has grown to such propor
cent of the force is available, This
makes it necessary to spread an
average man's service over nearly
four times 138,000 acres, decreasing
fire protection rar below the point
of safety in many cases.
in the face of this, however, fire
losses on the National Forests are
kept at a point where they are tri
vial when compared with the damage
which wo'sVl be caused were the
lands contained In the National For
ests unprotected.
