WHITE, Mgr. The fatherin ment of the state that has for its ob ject the use of Oregon products by Oregon people. This doctrine has been preached before, but there has never been greater opportunity for building up home industries than now. A campaign to extend the use of Oregon-made goods here at home is now under way and the co-operation of commercial bodies of the state will be enlisted. interest in commercial club circles of the state is now centered on the an nual convention of the Oregon Devel opment league in Astoria, August 14, 15 and .10. The program, now being completed, includes the leaders in de velopment work in this part of the United States, as well as a number of speakers of national prominence, Coining, as it does, while the Astoria Centennial celebration is m progress, delegates will be entertained by the Asl orans in royal fashion. - Give Convicts Dinner. Recognition of good work done, as unusual as it was gracious, was evi denced during the past week at Sub limity, where women of the Wahl chib gave a dinner to the conviols who have been building roads in that pre cinct. Such appreciation is almost unheard of, yet it is instances such as this that probably do more to help the unfortunates regain their self respect than anything else.

The three R's famed for their place in pioneer public schools will not be lost sight of in making out the new course of study, according to L. R. Alderman, superintendent of public instruction of Oregon. The state food and dairy commis sion wants the care of milk after it reaches the consumer taught in the public schools. The state forester wants a place given to forest fire prevention in the course of study. Insurance companies arc requesting that pupils be taught prevention of fires about buildings. - A mil Itittide of other good and practical courses are being urged. Superintendent Alderman takes the stand that the children must know how to read broadly, to write a good business letter and tho essentials of arithmetic. These three things must lie taught thoroughly and all extra time will be devoted to other practical subjects. He is weeding out every non-essential and trying to put the course on a solid foundation. Much industrial work is being included. The course will be out next month and will bo in closer harmony with the riirrent needs of the state than any heretofore." -J. W. Allen, Rick -Mary II.

PORTLAND, Aug. 1. Six prompt arrests and convictons in Washing ton, and several more in other North western states, and such decisive or ganized work on all fires by the sev eral public and private agencies that little loss has been sustained, mark the opening of the 1911 forest fire season. Advices received today by the Western Forestry and Conserva tion association from nearly all state, government and private protective agencies report that the recent hot weather has brought dangerous condi tions almost evereywhere, and that small fires are already numerous, but nearly all have been extinguished or confined to slashings and old burns. There has been considerable loss of settlers' improvements and logging equipment carelessly left surrounded by inflammable material, but compar atively little injury to standing tim ber. Logging Equipment Destroyed. Reversing last year's experience, fires serious enough to be alarming began first in Oregon, where in Linn and Clmdvamas counties about $70, 000 wortn of logging equipment and the property of several settlers have been destroyed by slashing firejS which were, however soon brought under control by a large force employed by the Forest Service and by private companies. Many other fires through out the state which caused exaggerat ed reports, also proved to be chiefly on open lands. Organization of the state's p'atrol system under the new law is practically complete, there be ing state fire wardens in 22 coun ties. Timber owners connected with the Oregon Forest Fire association have about 250 patrolmen. In re sponse to petitions from property owners, some of the counties are also hiring uatrolmen. The state has ap plied to the Secretary of Agriculture for $10,000 under the Weeks law, which authorizes "the expenditure this sum by the Government in co operation with any state which will add a like amount. BIBLE TEACHERS TO STUDY Training Class Organized By Reverend Leon L Myers. the The teachers' training class of the Church of Christ, which meets every Tuesday evening, row has a member ship of 24, and others are expected to be added shortly. The Reverend Leon L. Myers, minister of the church, is the leader of the class. This sort ot instruction has been in vogue in many of the Eastern states, but is new to Dallas. It is supposed to stand in the same relation to 'the Sunday school as the normal schools do to the public schools, and it is intended that eventually every teacher in the Chris tian church bible school shall oe a graduate of the course, which embrac es six months' study. Those passing a satisfactory examination at the end of that term are- given a diploma. The following are members of the training class: Elza Houser, Ioren Butler, Miss Carolyn Gohrke, Mrs. Tempie Tribble, E. L. .Dashiell, II. E. Dashiell, O. W. Curtiss, Miss Georgia Curtiss, Arthur A.

Mr. Dickey was born in Jackson County, Missouri, February 9, $'". and came to Oregfin in l.r.J Willi his parents. In 1874 he married Miss Martha Savage, who died in 1S!I2. Nine children were born to them, five of whom survive. The children are Mrs. Mary Yocum, Noel and Pres ton Dickey, of Ballston; Mrs. Nora Booth, of Amity, and Mrs. Ethel El liott, of Perrydale. Funeral services were held Monday at the Harmony Baptist Church in Polk county, and interment was made in the eemetery at that place. ASK ROADS ASSISTANCE MOVE FOR NEW BRIDGE TWEEN POLK AND MARION, BE- Oeneral Manager Gerlinger Willing . To Assistf In Building Com bination Structure. Following the plan to extend its line into the Capitol City this fall, the Salem, Falls City & Western Rail way Company has recently finished a survey of the site for tho intended bridge across the Willamette, and the engineer's plans have been received in the office of General Manager L. Gerlinger, Jr., in this city.., The War Department has given its approval, and work will soon be started so as to finish the superstructure before the river rises. , , More or less complaint has been made in regard to the condition of the present wagon bridge between Salem and West Salem, which is maintained by the City of Salem and Marion and Polk counties, each bearing a third of the cost. There is a feeling, especially in Marion county, that the one now in use should be replaced and an ef fort is to be made to save a large part of the expense of a new one by co operating with the railroad company in the erection of the one which the latter is soon to put under way. Asked To Co-Operate. General Manager Gorlinger has been approached by residents of both counties asking him if he would be willing to consent to allow the build ing of a combination railroad and public bridge. To an Observer re porter who called on him Saturday, lie said that he had . concluded that it would be a good thing to do, as the Company did not w-ish to stand in the way of the development of the two counties and would be willing to allow the authorities to take advantage of the opportunity if they cared to do so. He has had plans prepared show ing how the idea would work out, and a number of interested property owners of Marion county are to take the matter up with him this week in Salem. Two ideas have been sug gested by the, engineers. In both the center is occupied by the railroad, but in one a roadway is arrangd for on each side, while the other calls for a roadway and foot walk on either side. The question of arrangement, however is of minor importance, and will take care of itself. Prompt Action Necessary. ..The most important consideration at this time is whether the public wishes to avail itself of the privilege. Whatever action is taken will have to be prompt, as the railroad company is anxious to get started on the new bridge as soon as possible. . The site chosen is two blocks north of the present public bridge and will allow the railroad to enter Salem on Union street. The ultimate cost has been estimated to be between $200, 000 and $250,000, according to the style adopted. The bridge will be thoroughly modern in every way. It will have a lift-draw of the same type as in use on the Hawthorne bridge in Portland, and the span will be suf ficiently wide to allow the passage of any of the craft that ply the Willamette.

WOMEN BARRED FROM OFFICE Attorney General Says They Cannot Fill Position of Superintendent. SALEM, July 28. Attorney Gen eral Crawford rendered an opinion yesterday afternoon in answer to the request received from Moro as to whether or not a woman can legally hold the position of County School Superintendent. The Attorney Gen eral holds that a woman cannot lie elected Superintendent of Publie Schools, nor can she bold the office by appointment. In support of this contention the Attorney General quotes the law, which says: "No pei-son shall be elected or ap pointed to a county office, who shall not be an elector of the county" According to this section of tho statute Miss Emma C. Warren, who was appointed School Superintendent for Clatsop eonty, is not legally holding that position. The Attorney General bases his opinion on the Su preme Court decision in the ease of State vs. Stevens. Leaves University.
