INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
NEW FIRE RULE RIGID.
Precautions Must Be Taken In Burn
ing of Forest Slashings.
Salem New regulations covering
the burning of slashings have been is
sued by the State board of forestry
and incorporated into a press bulletin
In resolutions of the board it is point
ed out that there are instances tend
ing to show that the law has not been
duly observed and that public safety
as well as private property has been
endangered.
The regulations became effective
August 10 and are as follows:
"Burning of log piles, stumps, or
brush heaps without permit as pro
vided for under section 7 of the Ore
gon forest fire law, is permissible only
where the material to be burned is a
safe distance from other inflammable
material and where the ground sur
rounding the loe piles, stumps, or
brush heaps is cleared of any substance
which will allow of fire spreading to
adjacent wooded, brush, or slash
covered land, either the property of
the parties engaged in burning or
that of another.
"Adequate precautions and personal
control are interpreted as meaning
that all fires set without permit must
be continually watched both night and
day by a sufficient number of men on
the ground for that purpose, and
should fires escape steps must be
taken at once to extinguish it
"Burning done in violation of these
regulations will submit the party or
parties concerned to prosecution under
the fire laws."

Judiciary Commission Sees Lack of
"Stability."
Salem That the jurisdiction of the
judiciary commission on the revision
of the judicial system does not extend
to the recall of the judiciary is one of
the conclusions reached at a meeting
of that body. No definite action
along the line of its prospective work
was taken up by the commission, fur
ther than organization of committees.
Informally there was considerable
discussion of the questions with which
the commission must grapple and an
abundance of varying theories were
advanced, indicating that the commis
sion has a task before it to reach dis
tinct conclusions. There seems to be
harmony, however.
A feeling has been put into fexpres
sion by some of the f members of the
commission that their present labors
are more or less futile, owing to the
possibility of repeated changes in the
system.
Even though the present commis
sion prepares an elaborate bill, after
months of study, and this bill be
comes a law, the constitutional' amend
ment allows full opportunity for the
legislature or the people to revolution
ize the judicial system again in the
course of the following two years.
"Stability" is considered the real
goal to be attained for the courts by
these members of the commission and
the possibility of repeated changes is
not encouraging to them.
POTATO SHOW PROPOSED '
Harrisburg Women '.Will Prepare Ex
hibit This Month.
Harrisburg A "potato show" is
being arranged by the women of the
Improvement club for the final week
of August. Unusual interest is already
created and unheard-of delicacies are
daily being concocted by local talent
from the common "murphy" for dis
play in connection with the show.
This section of the Willamette val
ley haa long had the reputation of
producing an excellent potato, and the
product this year is exceptionally fine.
Interest in the culture of this crop
has been materially increased through
the praise given to the quality and
yield by an expert potato-grower of
Greeley, Colo., the greatest potato
growing center of the Unitsd States.
Alta Mine Gets New Equipment.
Grants Pass The owners of the
Alta mine near Kerby have just re
turned from Portland, where they pur
chased a steam plant to operate a 40-
ton Chile mill upon the millsite ad
jacent to the mining property. The
property is new and has one cut 150
feet above the mill where the ore is
sent down by gravity. The ore shoot
s about 20 feet wide. The mill car
ries six rolls with a crushing capacity
of 7,200 pounds.
Tannery Will Be Built.
Tillamook Paying $600 an acre,
Peter Remer and John Ponkner, of
Portland, have bought five acres of
land on the Trask river, just outside
the city limits, with the intention of
establishing a tannery. They expect
to begin construction work within two
weeks, and to have their plant in
operation by spring. They are buying
hides in the meantime. Twenty-five
men will be employed in the factory.
Liberate Trout Fry.
Eugene A shipment of 150,000
steelhead trout fry was received in
Eugene and sent up the McKenzie riv
er. They will be liberated in that
stream and in a few years will be
large enough to create great sport for
the anglers of this city and the many
outside people who come here each
year to enjoy the matchless fishing
afforded on the stream.
HOPS BRING 80 CENTS.
Hiehest Price Since 1804-Further
Rise Predicted.
Portland Thirty cents has been
paid in this city for new-crop Oregon
hops, the highest price that has been
current in this state since the latter
part of 1904. Within less than a
week's time the market here has
jumped from 25 to 30 cents. That it
will soon go to 40 cents is now con
ceded by nearly everyone in the trade.
The 80-cent purchase was made by
McNetf Bros., hop dealers of this city,
who obtained part of the crop of
George L. Rose, of Salem, on which
they paid a 10-cent case advance.
They also bought at the same price
100 bales from another Oregon grow
er and 20,000 pounds from a grower
in the Yakima valley.
Other dealers were
with 80-cent offers,
could be learned had
buy.
Hop merchants and growers were
satisfied that the market would have
to advance in view of the alarming
crop reports that came from Europe,
but the price struck the 80-cent level
somewhat sooner than expected.

Sheridan August 19.
McMinnville The Hyland Fruit
growers' association, of Yamhill coun
ty, will meet at Sheridan on the after
noon of August 19. The general sub
ject to be discussed at this meeting

ing of Yamhill County Soils, With

Dr. James Withycombe, of the Oregon
Experimental station, will also be
present and will address the assembly.
The McMinnville Fruit association
will be in attendance and will provide
for a discussion on walnut culture.
The Dallas association will attend
and will furnish a talk on prune cul
ture. This meeting is looked forward
to with a great deal of interest and it
ought to call out all the ranchers and
fruitgrowers in the section. H. B.

growers, will preside. All the horti
cultral heads of the state will also be
present, while quite an attendance
from Portland is expected.
RAIN AIDS FIRE FIGHTERS.
Linn County Forest Conflagration Is
Almost Under Control.
Albany A light rain in the moun
tains of Eastern Linn county has
helped the fire fighters who are frying
to stop a forest fire which is burning
on Squaw mountain near the head
waters of Blue river, about 30 miles
southeast of Cascadia. The fire had
been spreading rapidly until this rain
came. Since then the fire fighters
have succeeded in holding it lalmost in
check, though it is not yet under con
trol. A report was received at the forest
service headquarters of the Santiam
district here from Forest Ranger
Knowles, who is in charge of the crew
fighting this fire, stating that at the
time the report was sent the fire had
covered about three squuare miles
It is in an old burn, but as the old
trunks stand close together and there
are also many logs it is a very hot and
dangerous fire. The report said that
barring a heavy wind it was believed
the fire could be kept from spreading
into the green timber.
OLCOTT FOR PUBLICITY.
State Land Board Meetings Should
Be Open, He Says,
Salem Further in support of his
contention that meetings of the state
land board should be open to the pub'
lie, Secretary Olcott has issued a for
mal statement concerning the work of
companies on irrigation projects.
In this statement .he declares that
not a single contract now in force
with companies reclaiming arid lands
is satisfactory to the state. Secre
tary Olcott believes that the meetings
of the desert land board in particular
should be thrown open to the public,
so that the settlers on such lands may
have opportunity to become familiar
with all the transactions of the board
in connection with these lands.
Treasurer Kay said that he is in
favor of allowing press representa
tives to attend the board meetings.
Apple Crop's Return Big.
Hood River The Applegrowers'
union has made its first shipment of
this year's apple crop. The consign
ment was composed of Red Astrachans.
The fruit was well shaped, smooth
skinned and without blemishes. Man
ager Sproat says the lot of apples will
bring good returns. All of last sea
son's apples were sold by July , and
the past year a business is now cleaned
up. J. tie Dusiness last year amounted
to a little more than $600,000.
