Gifford Pinchot, dismissed from office as chief forester of the United States, is cleaning out his desk today, while his friends are polishing their trusty hammers, and the Impression is ev erywhere that a big fight is now on. Meanwhile everybody at the capi tol is wondering what Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt will have to say. .With the dismissal of Pinchot, only two of the famous Roosevelt "tennis cabinet" remain in office. Lawrence O. Murray is still controller of the currency, and Herbert Knox Smith retains his position, as commissioner of corporations. After the official axe had been whetted at six hours of cabinet meet ing, the official heads of Pinchot, As sociate Forester Price and Assistant Lawrence Shaw, of the forestry bu reau, were chopped off at a single blow. The friends of Pinchot here today say that he was not surprised at the result. They assert that he believed What Enormous Prices These stores in Salem must get which do a small volume of busi ness, when they can afford to give cash discounts .from 10 to 35 per cent on everything all over the store.

It was looked on hero as a practical defiance. Plnchot's intention throughout the controversy with Secretary Bal ilnger, has been that he v was up holding the Roosevct policies and that Balllnger was opposed to them. With the fight having gone to such extremes, it is now considered prac tically certain that Pinchot and his adherents will continue the struggle, and some of the more conservative members of the administration party are wondering just, how effective will be the cry of "martyr to the Roosevelt policies." It is expected that the much-talked of "back of Elba' 'movement imme diately will receive new impetus. The congressional investigation of the forestry service wil now only be perfunctory, as the three men against whom it was directed aro now out of office. Pinchot, Price and Shaw will ap pear before the investigating com mittee as private citizens, having suddenly been relieved of any re strictions of an official character, to urge on the department of the in terior. Albert F. Potter, who has been placed .in charge of tlio bureau temporarily,' was recalled from Og den, Utah, whore he was attending the National Wool Growers' con vention, to take immediate charge of the office. The Washington newspapers today take the attitude that Taft followed the only possible course, holding that the letter to Dolliver "was too fla grant an offenso to be overlooked."

Among other mattors of interest tho report of tho manager showed that tho assets of tho association amount ed to $13,412.75, and also showed a net gain after the payment of all ex penses for the past year of nearly $300 In favor of tho union.

It Is al loged by Mr. Fendrick that tho In spectors called at his shop yester day and took possession of a can of lard which was not for salfo to the public, it having been prepared for his own porsonal consumption. Peter Reylts, tho proprietor of tho People's Market, on South Commer cial street, was visited yestorday af ternoon by the inspectors, and, after examining his stock of lard, left ap paronty satisfied, but this morning tho Inspectors called again and so curod a bucket of tho lard for analy zntlon In Portland. At first sight, the Inspectors appeared to be satis fled with Mr. Reyelts' lard, but later came to another conclusion. The proprietor, however, strongly main tains that his lard is freo of other In gredients than puro hog fat, and that) tho inspectors aro at liberty to an alyze his stock thoroughly, as far as he is concerned. It is not tho general contention that tho violators woro producing unwholesomo or unclean goods, and It Is the universal opinion that lard containing a mixture of what i3 known as compound and beef tallow is as sanitary and serviceable as tho ordinary hog fat. The local markets aro creditably spokon of by the com mlsslonierp. as being neat nnd clean, and about tho only fault that can be found with the present action takon, Is that a certain amount of deceptlou has been practiced, in that tho buck ets which contained tallow woro marked lard.

It also developed from tho re port that tho directors used a wiso foresight In tho purcnaso of tho pres ent site, as It Is now valued in tho market nt a sum between $12,000 and $15,000.

By a majority voto of tho stockhold ors tho provision in tho by-laws of tho Union providing that tho board of directors shall consist of sovon mem bers was changed by amendment and mndo to read that tho directors shall consist of six members, two of which shall bo elected for threo years, two for two years and two for ono year.

Reynolds nnd Androw Vorclor for two years, and C. O. Constablo and W. J. Ball for ono yoar. The ofllcors of tho union will bo elected by tho board of directors at Its first meeting, which will probably bo hold some tlmo this aftor.oon, or In tho next fow dnys. Tho old ofllcors are C, L.

Tho Insur gents are dol'ghted today over the walloping thoy grtvo Cannon, Jn tak ing from him tho power to appoint the committee to Investigate the In terior department, but protest that they aro still loyal to Taft and tho party, "whenever the party Is right." Friends of Cannon admit that he lost the reins .when it was decided that the Investigating committee shall be chosen through the eectlon of its members by Uie house. While they concede that th's was a severe Jo't. they declare that it will no happen again, and say that the "per sonal equation" entered Into the ON FORMER MAYOR DUNNE FLAYS PRES question, as friends of Chlof Forester Pinchot hold tho balanco of power. Tho Insurgents today say that tho "porsonal equation" will ontor to a great dogreo In tho fights that will bo mado against Cannon in tho next ses sion. Both sides aro lining up their forces as tills first real victory over Cannon hns put a somewhat now light upon tho situation. Following tho tenste events of yes terday, culminating in tho dismissal of Pinchot, it Is expected that many now phases in tho fight will develop rapidly. vCHICAGO'S POOR SUFFERING FOR FUEL UNITED riUSSS lEASUD WIKB.l Chicago, Jan. 8.
