The fire was discovered by the con vict gang about 8. o'clock and before it could 'be put under control a thous and eords or more had been destroyed. As soon as the fire was reported to the penitentiary, Warden Murphy rush ed out, 40' more trusties to help the gang of 30 convicts that wag already on hand to fight the fire. The warden says, however, that the fire was prac tically under control when the second gang arrived. About 25 patients from the asylum also were sent out to help. No other damage was done, although the fire ran close to the camp bunk houses and if the wind had changed a farm house nearby would have been in danger. , The wood was ricked on end to dry and burned very fast. About 5000 to 6000 cords were not touched. The wood camp is on the Prank Smith place on the Pratum road, about six miles from Salem. The wood was being cut for the Oregon state hospital, and its loss will force tne board of control to make some other arrange ments for supplying the asylum with the full amount of fuel required for the winter, as the prison gang was al ready behind with its contract to furn ish the asylum a certain amount of wood- SUTHERLAND ELECTED.

Pegier (United Press staff correspondent) This is the first instalment of a re markable, true story of one of the most picturesque units that entered the great war the American Legion of the Canadian army, known to many Amer icans as "The Lost Legion." It la the first authoritative published account of the heroic actions of members of this dispersed and ezatriated band of American heroes, and is written by J. W. Pegier, who "found" the Legion in England in 1916. Pegier; United Press staff correspondent, knew prac tically every officer in the battalion, and many of the men in its ranks. His story is a real contribution to the his tory of the great war that probably cotua not oe writtan by any otter man. Th next instalment will appear Thurs day. The Maj. Eassmussen of this story ws awarded the Distinguished Service cross by Gen, Pershing a few days ago. since Mr. Peglers story was received in this country. The cross will be sent to relatives of the dead hero, in Sher wood, Ore. London, June 1. (By mail) Grif fiths and Kass are "out of it" for good resting in a Picardy cemetery with- -wild flowers blooming and war still surging all around them. Lieut-Uol- Kichard H. Griffiths and Major Alexander Eassmnssen had been "out of it" before the colonel four times, with eleven wounds, and Bass just once, when he picked up a fusing hand grenade in the dark and threw it back at the booties. As soon B9 the hospitals made them fit they went back for more. They, were -professional soldiers. Fighting was their life Job. Crusaders they wore anil always on the side of conscience and the littlo fellow. Both fought under two flags, the Stars and Stripes twice, and the Un ion Jack of Griffith's native England.

Enlist As Cherry Pickers (Capital Journal Special Service) Silverton, June 26. When a call came Monday morning for cherry pick crs the honor guard girls of Silverton and others, numbering thirty five or more, left on the first auto stage to be. of such service as farm labor may require, upon reacning the Cherry City the Silverton ladies were introduced to a Loganberry field, and a severe pro test went out from the Silverton cher ry pickers. They declared that they could find all the Loganberry picking they desired, and more, at home, and if they were not enlisted to gather the cnernes tney would return to Silver ton and be of service to the erowers in this vicinity.

Pershing. He was taken immediately and given command of a battalion ' of the 18th ilrfaiutry the "Happy Heinie" regiment. Thus he stepped down from his British rank of lieutenant colonel to that of major, but he soon regained his old grade, for he wore the silver leaves of a lieuten ant colonel when a shell stopped him at last in Picardy. "Bass" Was Fearless Bassmustien iwas a big, handsome man; fearless and a sporting dare-lev-il in war and pitiless to foiirflushers anywhere, any time. His American home was Portland, Or-, but he was Scandinavian by birth and his pro nunciation of some words was just sib ilant enough to prove it. In the spring of 1916 he came up from Mexico where he was fighting in Obregon's army, to join the Canadian American legion, then forming. He had been a major in Obregon 's crazy force, but Bass was just the right sized man to enlist as a "buck" in the American legion and win his commission. The legion had troubles galore. There ,were bums and deserters and just plain thieves who enlisted to draw the pay through the cold weather and "go over the hill" when it looked as though the 97th battalion was about to sail. One day Bass was a private, and a week later ho wore a major's crown. H found himself outranking his former commanding officer. 90 Per Cent Yankee But at last they sail, about 900 strong 90 per cent of them Americans and most of them hardened veteran soldiers of the United States army, navy anil marines. One of the yellow ballies .who had deserted was an offi cer. He went to New York and there met a newspaper man to whom ho de scribed the legion as the "Lost Le gion ' ' of tramps. The story was pub lished and copied Iby other papers and it took the blood and suffering of hun dreds of iorrfly, expatriated Yanks 'to live down the Blander. , . - government, and will take up some use ful occupation.

"Baby Bonds or Babies in Bongade," was the trite subject chosen by A. J. Robinson, of Portland, district manager of the war savings stamp campaign, in a talk in the Presbyterian church Sunday. Mr. Rolbinson' points out the fact that the expenditure necessary for the suc cessful prosecution of the world war demanded a loosening of the purse strings of the American public until it hurt. "It is estimated that this war wiU cost at least $100,000,000,000, a sum infinitely beyond human compre hension," said Mr. Robinson- "In five days we are spending a sum equiva lent to tho total cost of the war with Spain, and every two months a sum as great as the cost of our Civil war, which is tho most exorbitant on rec ord. Can we, whose sons, brothers and loved ones are volunteering to go forth to espend the ultimate in phys ical courage claim to be loysl .and pa triotic unless we measure up in a sim ilar degree in moral cour&go and sac rifice?"

Loganberry Plant . at Brooks Burned Tho largest loganberry dryer in the state of Oregon went up in flames this morning at 5 o'clock when the plant of J. P. Aspinwall at Brooks was destroyed by fire at an estimated loss of $10,000. When first discovered, the flames were gaining headway in the center and roof of the dryer and it is supposed that tho origin of the fire was in the tunnelH. As there was no water protection, nothing could be done to save the plant and within a short time after the fire was first discovered, the dryer was a complete loss. It had a capacity of more than 500,000 pounds of loganberries annually. 4t 4f tit tic tic J tic 4c T "f T T r i I 1 j COCOANTJT OIL FINE FOR WASHING HAIR. sc sc sjc sc ifc sc jc )c sjc If yon wnnt to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soups and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain jnulsified co coanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much bettor than the most expensive Boap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't poswilbly injure the hair. ' Simply moisten your hair with wator and rub it in. One or two tonspoonfuls will make an abundance of richxreamy lather, and cleanses tho hair and scalp thoroughly-, Tho lather rinses out eas ily, and removes evory particlo of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. ' You can get mulsified cgcounut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last overyone in tho family for months ALEXANDER KERENSKY (Continued from page one) from London of Former Premier Keren sky was followed by the return to Wash ington today of Kerensky diplomats who wont from here to Pans for con ferences with Russian and French load ers thore.
