Fire Incendiary, Seller
Evidence that the burning of the
sawmill of the Dutton Lumber com
pany at Westlcke early Saturday
morning was of incendiary origin has
been found uccording to Sheriff
Frank E. Taylor who returned yes
terday inorniug after investigations at
the cene of the bluze. "Although
nothing is available as yet for publi
cation there has been conclusive evi
dence that the blaze was iuepudiary,"
the sheriff stale. The fire burst
through the whole mill building at
once and there was no clmnce for any
saving of property, according to resi
dents near the mill ,who were inter
viewed by the sheriff. The mill build
ing and a portion of the dock were
entirely destroyed but the direction
of the wind saved the hotel building
at Westlake from destruction. II. 1'.

imately $40,000 for the calendar year,
according to on announcement by Nel
son K. Macduff, supervisor of the
forest.
The state of Oregon will receive al
most one-seventh of the 7.51)0,000
voted by congress for this purpose.
The Cnsi nde forest's share is allotted

projects undertaken will be further

gun Inst year, completion of work on
liouldcr tirade nnd Crowbar I'oint on
the Willamette highway, and improve

Trail Jobs Planned
Among trnil j"hs under contempla

the Kik ( reek trail; reconstruction
on the Frissell I'oint trail; construc
tion of the l ow Morn, I pper Wjjl

trails.
The primary purpose of the for
est's road construction, nccordiug tn
Mr. Mniduff, is to give access to
forest to find and f;ght fires. The
trails give access to old burns and
other dangerous areas. Although the
roads are not built for recreational
purposes, they are frequently used for
that purpose. The forest service has
the right, however, to restrict travel
other than for official business, when
necessity demands it.
Tt -sd work in the national forest
area is limited to 0 feet for roads, slid
to 12 feet in some cases. Frequently
grades must be made as high as 10
per cent if it will mnteriolly reduce

Alexander Christie Passes
After Week's Illness
In Portland
Succeeded to Archdiocese
Of Oregon City in
The Year 1899
PORTLAND, Ore., April 6. W)
Archbishop Alexander Christie, of the
Catholic archdiocese of Oregon City,
died at a hospital hero this afternoon.
Archbishop Christie, who was 75
years of age, had been In a critical
condition at a hospital here for more
than a week. A few days ago an Im
provement was reported, which, con
ttnued until today, when a sudden turn
for the worse occurred.
Archbishop Christie presided over
the archdiocese of Oregon City, which
includes all of Oregon west of AVaaco
and Klamath counties. He also exer
cised an over-lordship over the Cath
olic church sees of the Pacific north
west ''.- ..:
Noted School Worker.
Archbishop Alexander Christie was
noted for his work In the development
of his archdiocese, particularly in the
construction of schools and religious
institutions.
"Tho Catholic History of Oregon,"
written by Rev. K. V. O'Hnra of Eu
gene, refers to the archbishop's work
as n builder as follows:
'A few days after his installation
the archbishop laid the cornerstone
for the handsome new monastery of
the Rcncdictlne fathers at Mount An
gel. The event was to be typical of his
work In the northwest, for bia time
will be known as the building epoch
of the archdiocese."
It waa snid of Archbishop Christie
thnt he built schools before churches,
nnd one of his cherished aims was the
development of a church school sys
tem with a Catholic college like thnt
of Notre Dame aa its apex. It wn
in the hope of fulfilling this vision
that the old Portland university wns
bought from the Methodist in 1001,
nnd renamed Columbia university.
Formation of the Catholic educational
association under the direction some
years ago was annhier evidence of hh
interest In the school work of the
church.
Advanced In 1899.
Archbishop Christie succeeded
Archbishop W. II. Gross In 1800,
about six months after the death of
the latter. Lena than a yenr previous
he wns consecrnted by Archbishop
Ireland in the 5ft. Paul cnthrdrat, nnd

PARIS, April 6. UP) Tta lobblei
of the chamber of depntlee and aen 1

members of parliament and others
active In the rarlous political troops, i
moat of whom, forecasting the fall
of the Herrlot ministry already were
speculating in the composition of the i
next cabinet. Meanwhile the cabinet
ministers were deliberating on the
reported differences on policy be
tween Premier Herrlot and M. da
Monzie. his new minister of finance.
De Monzie Gains
M, da Monzie, who come into the
limelight as successor to Btlenne
Clementel aa finance minister, has
suddenly acquired a preatige that
makes him the lender In the possible
race for the premiership.
In the senate lobbies the fnll of
the cnblnot next week was taken for
granted. Opinion In chamber of de
puty quarter' was leas cntegoric as
to the result of the hot parliament

Conceded that. Premier llerriot whs
now nt trips with difficulties thnt
seemed almost Insurmountable.
Botwoon Two Fires
In the senate it wus pointed out
that the premier will find hiiuBelf' be
tween two flres on the one hand
the cnemiea of the capital, levy and In
flation and on the other the advor
aarJea of French representation at
the Vatican. M. de Monzie by disarm

Catholics in the chamber by hia advo
cacy of compromise on the Vatican
proposition fcas brought to the gov
