MULTNOMAH CLUB
PORTLAND MANAGER GREATLY
ELATED OVER HIS "FIND"
IN THIS CITY.
Frank E. Watklns, manager of the
Multnomah Club track team, which
will take part In the A. A. V. 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. says the Oregonlan. ' He
hasi written to express his readiness
to don the club's colors. Conaway
has been out of college only a year,
but has kept himself in such good
physical trim In the meantime that
he could enter a meet with very lit
tle training.
In build, Conaway U 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-'ptit record of the Iowa Intercol
legiate association, besides the ham
mer and shot-put records of the Mis
souri Atlantic association. Watklns
is confident that Conavay can do his
part toward taking care of the weight
events r.t the meet with full credit
to the club, even in case Ralph Robe,
Flanagan, Sheridan and McGrath are
among his competl-ors.
In addition to his ability as a track
athlete, Conaway is also a strong
football player. On tls college team
he held down one of the guards posi
tions for several years. J& he likes
the game and has written to Watklns
that he wguld U'.:e to meet some of
the club's football men and have a
look at their lineup, t Is probable
he will be seen on the field In the
coming season.
-The foregoing article gives Mr.
Conayuy as an alumnus of Wisconsin
which is incorrect. . He Is a graduate
of Drake University at Des Moines,
Iowa, and his height ia 6 feet, 5 Ms
inches.
FRUIT CROP IS SHORT
AT MILTON-FREEWATER
From La Grande Star.
That the boasted Milton-Freewater
valley is in the midst of rather dull
tiroes owing to a total failure of the
peach crop and a partial destruction
of all varieties of fruits was the
statement of Assessor Rlnehart, who
returned yesterday from eastern
Umatilla, where he attended a big
family reunion. Mr. Rlnehart says
the Grande Ronde valley has a
greater variety of products to de-
on
pend upon and therefore Is more
fortunate when misfortune befalls a
certain line of produce. At the
Rlnehart reunion 118 were presant.
The eldest was a roan'of 73 years
while the youngest was but four
days.
Eben To Reopen.

election, which shouldn't take them
long as they prepared all the papers.

STATES CO-OPERATE
WITH JCLE SAM
OREGON AND WASHINGTON WILL
HELP COMPILE FOREST FIRE
STATISTICS.
Portland, Ore.. Julv 1. Statn of.
flclals, associations, and individuals
will cooperate with the United Statos
Forest Service in an attempt to get
accurate records of all fire losses iu
Washington and Orcjjon this sum
mer. The Forest Service will com
pile a report showing by counties, the
area burned over of merchantable
timber, nonjmerchantable Umber, and
cut over land; the quantity r.nd value
of the timber destroyed, and the co3t
of Xi.jut.ng tae flrej. In this wav the
Federal and State Governments as
well as the public will bo enabled to
obtain at once systematic informa
tion concerning all fire losses In these
states.
j Heretofore, this Information has
been only pr.rtia ly collected. The
Forest Service has secured . compre
hensive reports from rangers on the
National Forests, but from no other
souroo. The State Boards of Forest-
ry In Oregon and Washington have
had reports from their wardens, but
mr.ny regions hai no wardens. The
State and Government statistics were
In different form and not brought
together. Consequently, although
those Interested in the subject know
in a general way that fire entails an
enormous loa.s to the community every
year, Uiey have bean unable' to back
cneir arguments for remedial action
with any definite proof.
District Forester E. T. Alien is re
ceiving the active help of the Ore
gon Conservation Association, the
Oregon Stat Board of Forestry, and
the" Washington Forest Fire Associa
tion In organizing the work. The
two latter have revised their report
forms tq bring out the same facts
regarding all flm. The Oregon Con
servation Association is canvas3injr
the state to secure suitable men to
act as fire wardens and report on
fires In their territory and presents
their names to te State Board for
appointment, It 'will also send each
man a post card reminder every two
weeks, with a return card on which
he will enter a few main facts about
the fire. The Washington Fores'
Fire Association will collect reports
from Its rangers and from other cor
respondents where It has no ranters.
The Forest Service will furnish frank
ed envelopes for mailing in the re
ports, end compile the results. The
Washington State Board of Forestr
has not made any agreement as yet,
but will undoubteJly furnish all tlia
aid It- can.
Every lumberman, or any one els:
who la Interested In preventing forest
fires, will see the advantage In bring
ing this Information before the nub
ile and can be of great assistance by
reporting fires In his vicinity. Forms
will be furnished on application to
the Secretary of the Oregon Stata
Board of Forestry, or, in Washington,
to the Washington Forest Fire Aarto
elation,
Working along the' line of securing
the greatest results In protection
against fire, with a minimum of ex
pendlutre, 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 Forest 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 incipleiwy
will, by this plan, be greatly expedit
ed, with the result that many thous
ands of dollars worth of valuable tim
ber will be saved annually.
Ia most of the National Fore.it
states the climate is very dry, and
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 the
vast area included In the National
Forests, approximately 193,000,000
acres,-the government has about 1,400
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, however,
the volume of business on the Nation
al Forests has grown to such propor
tlong that less than twenty-five per
cent of the force Is available, This
wakes it necessary to spread an
average man's service over nearly
four times 138,000 acres, decreasing
fire protection far below the point
of safety in many cases.
I " Iu tha 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 would be caused were the
innus cuiuainea in tne National For
ests unprotected.
Siipt. Campbell Promoted.
D. W. Campbell and Wm. Bollcns,
O. R. & N. officials well known to
many In this valley, have beon pro
moted. Campbe.l who was superin
tendent of the Oregon division of
the O. R. & N., has been advanc
ed to general superintendent of the
Oregon & Washington. Bollens, for
mer division engineer, has been given
Campbell's place.
Sugar Beet Crop
Outlook Splendid
Superintendent Bramwell Says Pros
pect Big Here And In
Union.
Field Superintendent F. S. Bram
well of the La Grande sugar factory,
who was in locking after the experi
mental fields of sugar beets the com
pany pi an to J near this city, says the
crop o.ttlojk was never hotter ii
Union county and he was more than
pleased with the appearance of tha
beets here. The planting was a little
later In here, and the plants are not
quite so far along as in Union, but
the condition is splendid.
The Japanese bo, s are through thin
nlng and are now hoeing. Mr. Dram
well could get no laborers in hera
for the work, except two boys abouL
fifteen years of age who are making
over two dollars a day. Some of the
Japs make as high as five and six
dollars a day at the work, and whits
laborers could do the same if thoy
would.
CHINA WANTS MORE
TRADE WITH OREGON
That Oregon has Immense tratfo
possibilities with China, which of
fers a great market for the man
factureis as well as the raw products
of this country, is the opinion of Quan
Kal, a wealthy Chinese merchant or
Hong Kong, who has been a Portland
visitor for the pan few days. Ha
believes an 'era of closer commercial
relations with the United States is
about to dawn for hi country and he
welcomes a larger commerce 'with
the Pacific Cca t. Quan Kal says
his country is entering upon a
period of expansion and must have
railway materials, machinery of all
kinds and manufactured products
In addition to the lumber, wheat and
flour, the chief commodities secured
from tills Coast, Baying that his peo
pie prefer to tiade with this country
In preference to the English and tier
man exporters who have the bulk of
this trade at present.
