E. Allen of tho Ilrooks-Scanlou Lumbor Co., addressed the Bond Commercial club nt lUwoekly forum meeting Wednesday, readlug from n detailed report on lumber production. Ap proximately 88 per cont of produc tion cost, according to Allen, goes for labor. "Tho vital part played by labor In the financial condition of this country places a diroct responsibil ity on the' shoulders of every person who goes into the forest to aid In preventing destruction by flro," said Allen. "Tho loss to the community and country1 at large by destruction of any property by llro is a direct waste and the destruction of timber is a groator loss and effects more generally tho entire Inhabitants of a community than any other kind of property loss. Timber is tho back bone of tiro lumber' Industry, the foremost Industry In the northwest. Once it Is destroyed by fire It can not be replaced short of a century. In the destruction of 1,000,000 board feet of timber we have the loss of the expenditure of approximately $36.40, the money It would take to convert that amount of timber Into the finished product and put It aboard cars. "Even a small fire will destroy many millions of feet of timber in a few hours. If we wish to protect our lumber industry we must all fight hard against the spreading of forest fires." CoUnian Akx Cooperation J. II. Haner of the Deschutes County Fire association also gave concrete figures showing how the loss of' timber by fire resulted In a direct loss to every business in the community. J. H. Melstcr, logging superintend ent of The Shevlln-Hlxon Company, spoke of the damage done to the for est by the pine beetle. He pointed out that through a recent survey of the situation It has been found that the Insect works to better advantage in the timber that is surrounded by thick underbrush or where the ground is deeply covered with pine needles. Melstcr also spoke on the grave necessity of guarding against forest fires. "Co-operation between labor and employers will mean a great deal in aiding to diminish carelessness about fires In the timber by loggers," said Norman F. Coleman president of the Four L's, a visitor in tho city. "If the men arc brought to realize that the loss of the timber will affect them as much as the owners they will exercise more care In protecting It." The protection of timber is of interest to humanity and through education only can Its advancement be hopedjor." The high school base ball team was reptepenled by Clarence Gould who expressed appreciation for the co-operation given by the Bend mer chants In .aiding in tho payment of n coach fpr'tbls season. He also asked that the nend business houses close bc-Hvceu the hours of 2 to 6 o'clock' Friday afternoon during tho game between Bend and MadrgB. Act ing on this request Clarence Mann helmer .moved the club go on rec ord 'as favoring the closlug and L. Antics, authorized to speak for M. V, Cashmainand J. H. Power of the ' J. C.

PJ'uinb, forest service super visor, whd presided at today's lunch eon, -said that B0 per cent of the fires of last year were man caused. In 1921, however, the percentage was reduced ;to C0f he said, predicting that , If.it t cT forest fire prevention campaign is continued each year It will, be iiure' to have a most desirable ef fjo'oii the education Of tho public. ipkr, : Poverty,.

Jiinies A. Onrleld. "Wo'll havo to get rlil nt tho old man; lib's caught us inooiishinlng." Stillwcll had no Idea of the way in which Weston Intended to get rid or Krug until tho night of Krug's death. When ho learned, ho pro tested, ho said under persistent ques tioning, lie disclaimed any intention to take any part In causing Krug'a death, or to share In tho money which ho said Weston expected to get nt tho Krug homo. Quizzing lA-nglliy That cross-oxnnilnnUon of Still well would continue for souiu 1 1 mo further was stated by Attorney Col lier nt tho closo of court nt noon, af ter ho had questioned tho witness nil of the morning and for n short tlmo Tuesday. Shortly nftor tho morning recess, Collier sought to introduce a con slderablo portion of tho record of tho preliminary hearing before Jus tico J. A. Eastes, by reading it Into tho questions nsked of Stlllwell; but nn objection prevented his Introduc ing more than one question at a time. A discrepancy In StlllwcH's state ments regarding Weston's motives, at tho hoarlng and yesterday, was brought out. Tho first statement was that he said ho would do It to get Krug's money nnd some timber, tho second that It was because of Krug's knowledge of tho moonshlu ing operations. ?nys Story Oft Itepoatcil StillweU's original testimony ns to Weston's retolltng the story of tho murder at almost every meal, to him nnd Wilson, witness declared as true. Stillwcll had nover reminded Weston In Wilson's presence that he. Still well, had been present: but ho thought Weston hnd onco told Wil son of It In his. presence. Stillwcll had never mentioned it to anyoun until arrested in Portland recently, he said. Weston told on these occasions of having tortured Krug by holding his feet to the fire, said Stillwcll, but declared this was not true. Stlllwell did not seo Weston carry ing a club on the way to the sccno of the murder, but later heard Weston say that he had taken it from the mill, he said. He distinctly saw Weston strike Krug over tho head with a club. Ho saw no gun, but Weston could have had one. He thought Weston had carried tho rope with him from the mill. The only conversation on the way to Krug's cabin was regarding hid ing their tracks, said Stillwcll. Neith er spoke to Krug until after Weston struck him, he said. Weston used only one hand In felling Krug, who was about StillweU's size, the latter stated. Stlllwell saw no blood on Krug's head afterward. Krug asked no questions on re gaining consciousness, said Stlllwell. He said nothing about rheumatism, but did say that he had no money there; that it was all in tho bank. Weston did not say he would let him go if he gave them money, said Stlll well. Weston placed tho rag over Krug's mouth and nose, and tied It at tho back of his head, said Stlllwell. Krug denied having told anyone about the moonshlning, and later said that he had some money on the table, he re called. Weston had never told what he found on the table, or what ho took from it, he said. Next morning they arose before dawn, said Stlllwell. Stillwcll re marked about n peculiar odor com ing from the slough. "I expect It's Krug," was Wes ton's reply, ho said. A little later Weston said "I'm going over to Krug's for eggs." He returned without the eggs, and said "Krug's cabin is burned, and Krug Is dead. I'll go and tell the authorities," and did so, said Stlll well. He did not see Weston again until the coroner's inquest, he said. Witness Niwous Hands and facial muscles nervous ly twitching, his body shivering and trembling despite the warmth of the room, George Stlllwell, admitted moonshiner, declared in court hero yesterday that he was an eye witness to the killing of Ilobert II. Krug on the night of March 24, at the ranch home of the aged hermit. A. J. Wes ton, on trial for second degree mur der of Krug, killed the old man, strangling him with a strip of rag three times in an effort to get money, death resulted after the third time, the witness stated adding that ho aided Weston In placing the body on a bed, Weston a moment later sot ting fire to the house. In detail Stlllwell told of tho walk from the Joe Wilson mill at Bisters where ho and WeBton wore working, to the Krug cabin on the night of tho tragedy, A confirmed Inebriate, ha had been plied with liquor by Weston during tho attornoon, and had been given another bottle to drink on tho way to tho Krug homo, ho said. Krug's death had been sug gested by Weston, nnd Stlllwell had domurrod, hut had been threatened with death If ho did not accompany tho plotter, ho said. Weston had planned buforohnnd to do nwny with Krug, after tho old man hnd visited thq mill nnd septi tto luoonalilnlng operations 'which were going on, tho wltiioas said, Nervously, in response tci a question, lio liu'Ucated Weston to tho state's attorney, Sujs King Asked Mercy After tho two hnd gonu Inlo (ho main room of tho Krug homo,' ac cepting tho hermit's Invitation, they watted for a while until Krug fin ished his supper In the cook house. They stood near .tho firoplaco wait ing for their host. As liu uutored, Weston struck hhn on I lie hcml with a club, nnd ho fell on his hack, sttinned,i .Stlllwoll said. Weston turned tho unconscious man over and commanded his companion to tlo him. "1 couldn't," Stlllwell said, "so Mr. We.iton tied his lunula behind him, nnd used tho other end of tho ropo to tlo his foot." "1 always thought you were n friend of mine; if you're going to kill me, kill mo quick," Stlllwell quoted Krug ns saying. Westou domanded money, accord ing to tho witness, telling Krug that ho hud reported them for moonshln ing, and that thoy needed $500 to get out of the country. "Then Mr. Weston choked him with n strip of cloth, or a towel," Stlllwell went on. "Mr. Krug said ho didn't havo any money and offerod Mr. Weston n JG00 check. I said, 'why not take It,' but Mr. Weston said I was talk Ing very foolish. Then he tightened up on him a second time. He told me to tnko oft Mr. Krug's shoes and we'd put his feet In tho flro and make him give up his money. I started to do It, but something attracted my at tention and I didn't." Fine. Exploded SliolW Weston "tightened up" iigaliw and Krug told him whero ho could find what little money was In the place, said Stlllwell. Weston followed di rections, going to a dark corner of tho room and rummaging among some papers. Krug lay still us ho re turned. Weston stooped over Krug listened, thon "tho old man's dead," Stlllwoll said ho announced. Under directions from his com panion, Stillwcll helped Weston place tho body on tho bed, and watched Weston gather magazines and sot fire to tho house. They left the place and from the sheltor of nearby trees, waited until tho flames mounted skyward, Stlllwoll related. Thoy heard the explosion of many cartridges, detonated by the 'heat. Just beforo Krug's death, the wit ness said, he had started to go, but Weston had detained him with the threat that If ha did, he would be left with Krug. Under questioning from State's At torney W. P. Myers, Stlllwoll turned from direct to circumstantial evi dence. A few days after the flro which destroyed tho Krug home, Weston exhibited a $300 note which he declared the Krug estate would never realize on unless It was reg istered. Cross examination was conducted as n test of StillweU's memory. He told Defense Attorney John A. Col lier that he was 52 years old, a sheep herder, ranch hand, and distiller by trade, but wob hazy as to where ho had worked or the length of tlmo prevloiiH to his going to the Wilson mill. "I worked nil that summer herd ing sheep, ho said, and In responso to questions said that he did not know whero his employer lived. "It was Just wherever tho sheep lived," he added. "When was that," Collier asked, "In tho summer of 1919." Are you sure of that?", queried the attorney. Stlllwell thought a moment. "No, 1918," ho corrected. He had known Wilson, who will later appear as a witness for tho state, for 1C years, ho said. Weston had hired him to go to tho mill, ho Informed his questioner, but shortly after admitted that Wilson had hired him. Wilson wanted him to show them how to mnko moonshine, ho said, and had told him that previous attempts of tho kind at the mill had resulted in failure. Weston remained In Bend for a week whllo Stlllwell was setting up tho still and helping Wilson to get tho mill ready for tho spring opening, the wltnoss said, II. H. Hamilton, in his opening statement for the prosecution, fore cast StillweU's testimony, and de clared that the state would show that tho morning after tho alleged crime, Weston wont to the Krug ca bin for tho ostensible purpose of getting eggs, but in reality to make sura that tho building and his vic tim had been destroyed by the flames. The state would prove that to establish his visit, Weston left his bucket a short distance from the ruins of tho cabin, then went to tho Tomes ranch, called up Sisters and Instructed tho oporator to notify tho officers of the flro. Tostimony would show, ho Maid, that 'Weston had so cured a pistol Hovoral days beforo tho tragedy. "About March 24, 1919, Krug probably mot his death; In what manner I do not know," commontod Collier In outlining the. case .of tho dufiuiRo. "I im Informod that (iio ea.hlli burned, ' I'AVo will show I hut Westou went to'tpo cabin on the intoning of tho 25tlt on n lawful mlHon, Hint' lifl notified tho nutliorltloH, aided.

No "word was said about murder until 19 months after, nnd after Joo Wilson hnd ser ved a Bontuiiro in tho Multnomah county Jail and had been released," Itererriug to Stlllwoll and Weston, tho slate's star wlt'uoKHon, Collier stated that nil tho reports concurr ing his client came from "tho name polluted source."
