Johueen, Jr., Victim Dittreuing Automobile i Accident Of LEGION CARNIVAL POSTPONED Weather and Snow Deter Cottsreer To B Gives Later The matter of reforesting the mil lions of acres of cut-over lands of the Northwest is one which Is at trading much attention. Lumber men, as well as many others, noting the rapidity with which our native forests are being decimated have at lust realized that something must be done to perpetrate tree growth. In many places tree nurseries have been established and many acres of trees have been planted on lands which formerly contained heavy stands of timber, and which have given way to ruthless slashing. Some lumber men have undertaken reforestation on their own initiative, while the na tional Forest Service In conjunction with state departments have estab lished and are conducting experi ment stations. An experiment station has been in operation at the Floyd Kelly ranch on Juniper Flat for some time. A. G. Simon Leo Isaacs and Tony Can navlna, three men in the employ of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experi ment station arc in charge here and their experiments In planting aeed of forest trees is carried on in an in teresting and novel manner. One thlng.they nro trying to determine is Just how far the wind will carry fir seed. In making the evriment the seed is placed In a special container and elevated to a height of 200 feet by means of a kite." When the aeed has reached the desired height the lid of the container is opend with a trip ping string and the seed allowed to drift down the wind. After the tiny winged seed has fallen they are readily visible. Every hundred feet thousand from the point of release, four by eight-foot plots are laid out and all the seed within these plots are count ed. Thus the amount of seed falling at various distances from the given point of release Is determined. Simultaneous readings of wind velocity are taken at th surface of the ground and at a height of 200 feet to determine the combined In flunce of wind velocity and height of release, on the distance seed will travel. ' Though some half million seed In all will be released on Mr. Kelly's ranch, it Is not an attempt to start a young forest and none of the seed are expected to produce young trees. The Information to be gained from these experiments will be In valuable to the logging industry, for it should tell how many seed trees should be left in order to secure ade quate reforestation on cut-over lands. One of the gentlemen mentioned above is here representing the Can adian Forest service and the knowl edge he gains here will be used In reforesting cut-over lands in the greut dominion of CanadA a considerable number are still on hand. lie cautions hunters not to place poison without first getting permis sion from land owners and not to, under any circumstances, to kill a horse for bait without permission of the owner. Hunters are required to make daily report of the number of polsen baits set out and total these In their monthly report. Of the number of predatory ani mala killed, besides those which prey on stock, Mr. Jewett aays his hunters accounted for 2,811 porcu pines, an animal which creates great havoc in the national forests. Church Official Expected Bishop Washinger and Supt Mc Donald of the U. B. church are ex pected in Maupin shortly. They are coming to choose a site and arrange for the construction of a church. The officers would have been in Maupin sooner, but an attack of flu Buffered by Mr. McDonald caused a delay. about 200 feet, shy of water stock, ings. It wss decided to lay that mat ter before the city council for de termination. N , Treasurer Hc-nneghan submitted a report of receipts and disbursements connected with the firemen's annu a ball. His report showed a com fortable balance in the treasury. The matter of evolving a code of fire signals elicited some discus sion. Fireman Shattuck suggested that a code of signals be devised. He said that for immediate use three blasts of the siren would signify a meeting, while a prolongd howl was to be used in case of a fire. Mr.' Shattuck also suggested that signals be arranged for the guidance of fire men -in locating just what district to go to in case of f irj:. The matter Was J left open, although it was under stood that it would be taken up at a later meeting.

As they ap- fproached the bridge they saw an auto approaching and, according to an eye witness, swerved close to gether in order to give panting room. When the auto reached them Mr. Johnson was hit by, a fender, thrown down, the hinge on a door catching him on the head. He was thrown under the car, which passed oer a leg, breaking it. Johnson was immediately taken to The Dalles where it was thought an emergency operation was necessary, but upon closer examination the physicians discovered that the skull was so badly fractured that nothing could be done to save his life, he dying as above stated. The car was driven by Leon Fra zer, who stated he had no knowledge of hitting anyone until he felt the Impact We have not learned the outcome of the accident, whether Frazer is to be held responsible for Mr. Johnson's death or what steps are to be taken in the matter. .

Provision is made in the bill for a commission of five members, three of whom shall consist of the board of control and two selected by the board of directors of the Oregon Charaberof Commerce. It is specifi cally provided that one of these members shall be a resident of the section east of the Cascades. The bill carries an appropriation of state funds amounting to $30.- 000 annually for the years 1928, 1829 and 1930. This amount is to be used by the state chamber in induc ing the location within Oregon of new settlers and new capital, the method of disbursing of these funds being subject to the approval of the commission.

Everett Hazen of Maupin, in a let ter to the dominee's wife, recounts some of tne things which christian white people endure in China. Miss Mitchell, whose home is in Sparta, Oregon, has been in missionary work in the land of Confucius nearly five years. In detailing some of the acts of banditry perpetrated in the dis trict of Siulam, China, Miss Mitchell says in her letter, written December 18-20: One of the things with which mis sionaries have to contend is that ba.. y reigns ahead of everything else In these troublesome times in the land of the lotus. As an inci dent: One of our teachers was re cently taken away by bandits, who broke out a corner of the brick house where the instructor was living and took him, with his 12-year-old son, away with them. The weather was extremely cold and the victims were not allowed even to clothe them selves in warm raiment Later the medical missionary received a letter. written by the teacher, but dictated by the bandits, in which a ransom of $8,000 was demanded for his re lease. If that amount should be paid it would mean that every cent pos sessed by the victim would be sacri ficed. The missionaries, however are playing a waiting game, it seem ing that the first demand is always scale o a sum within reason, the payment of which means the return of the captives to their home.. Miss Mitchell stated she is prepar ing to go to' Canton to attend a con vention of missionaries, to be held shortly after the first of the year. With her is Miss Gladys Ward, whose parents were teachers of Christian ity in China for 25 years. She was sent on her mission by the U. B. con ference held in Portland last Sep tember. She was born in China and lived there nearly all her life, being Hauled Flour To Wap.
