Portland school teachers who had the
nerve to get out and pick loganberries
and incidentally getting in touch with
nutur.y as it is seen this far up iu the
Wilulinotto valley, will give an enter
tainment Saturday evening of this week
at the CervaiB City Hall. The circulars
announcing the event are as follows:
"Ewryoue come and see how willing
the Honor Uiumls are to 'rough it' and
do their bit. A good program is promis
ed. Refreshments will be served. Admis
sion 50 cents aud 15 cents. Everyone
couie and do your bit.
Thin woden boxes are not - adapted
for the sending of packages to Franc,
postoffiee authorities announce. The
weight of parcels for overseas is limit
ed to seven pounds and the box approv
ed by tho postoffiee should be strong
corrugated card board. If the articles
sent permit, it is even safe to wrap
them in heavy paper, sacking or cloth.
This order has been issued by the post
office as many of the wooden boxes
were broken before arriving at destin
ations. Tho suggestion it made that even
if addressed to the soldier on the At
lantic coast, it is best to pack the ar
ticles in such a manner that they may
be sent ov.er seas. If a package fails to
reach the soldier here, it is sent to
address on the other side.
Several officers and members of the
Second Battalion, Oregon Guard will
attend the Fourth of July eelebration
today at Silverton and incidentally wit
ness the maneuvers of the Silverton
Home Guard, Company H. under com
mand of Captain Ernest M. Smith.
Among those in the party are Lieuten
ant Colonel A. A. Woolpert and wife,
Lieutenant E. H. Choate and wife,
Lieutenant A. B. Poole and wife, Lieu
tenant Fred Mangis, Miss Arline Ohms,
Miss Esther White, C. B. Clancy anu

t in really true that Henry Ford is
making submarines. As a party just re
tu-ned from Detroit said that he saw
them and they appeared to be from 150
to 200 feet in length. This according to
the average reader's information, is
somewhat larger than the general im
pression given of the Ford baby submar
ine. There will probably be not 80 many
Ford ears on the market next year, and
this announcement comes from Vick
Bros.
Smashing a chair on ths head of his
neighbor who was soliciting for War
Savings Stamps may cause S. e. How
ard of Sidney considerable trouble with
federal authorities.. E. Todd of Sidney
appeared yesterday before the prosecut
ing attorney, Max Gehlhar, and swore
out a warrant against Mr. Howard
charging him with assault and battery
While Howard may not be accused of
disloyalty his attacking a solicitor for
the War Savings Stamps it is under
stood, may result i'1 n's being called t'
explain his unpatriotic actions. Todd
had left a W. S. S. card at the home
of Howard and when he returned to
secure the pledge, instead of a subscrip
tion for stamps, Todd was struck on
the head by Howard and severely in
jured.
When a letter is addressed to a town
which doesn't happen to he in Oregon
or anywhere else, the best- the nixie
man can do at the postoffiee is to post
it on the bulletin board, thus giving
notice to the public before the ktter
is sent to the dead letter office at Fort-'
land. The letter addressed to "Mrs
J. C. Custer, Helenworth. Oregon, " will
not be delivered as there is no such
postoffiee in the state. The postal tt
Ruth E. Saain did not travel far ai
the addresser - thereof failed to even
write town or stato. The postal to Mrs.
George Muimd is also held up as it was
aduiessed to 107 Florida street, Salem
Oregon, and there is no such stwot
in She city. ' ,,
Salem presents , the most lonesome
July 4th appearance that has probably
ever been known, even to the oldest in
habitant. The patriotic spirit and the
feelirfg thatjiuo one should work on the
Fourth seems to have caught on here
and not even a meat market, grocery
store or tho stores that hold out for a
little early morning-business were found
to be open. Even the Elks club and
tho Commercial club presented locked
doors, somothing unheard of on any
national holiday. As one proprietor said,
all the boys in the store seemed to think
they should have a full holiday and it
was thought best to give it.

FOREST FIRES RAGE
IN COAST REGION
Holdings of Large Interest
Are Threatened In Tilla
mookCoimty Forest f iree now raging in Washing
ton and Tillamook counties, along the
railroad from Hillsboro to Tillamook,
may endanger a large amount of spruce
timber in that region, according to
State Forester Elliott- He my if an
east wind should come up it would be
very difficult to keep the flames from
sweeping clear to the coast, burning a
swath right through the spruce belt.
Fanned by a stiff breeze the fires
have developed until they now menace
a large timber area, aceording to the
reports received by Mr. Elliott.
The fires are near Euright, Timber,
Seofield and Cochran. The biggest fire
is near Cochran. It was practically un
der control Tuesday afternoon, but that
evening a wind set it to raging again.
As a result of the long dry spoil,
small forest firca are being reported
in many seations and the state forester
expressed grave cocern over the situ
ation. He said also that ithe timber owners
in the district 'where the Coehrfcn and
other fires are burning along the rail
road line have not organized this year
for the protection of their holdings,
and there has been a Jack of coopera
tion on their part.
Among the timber holdings which
are threatened are those of the Ham
mond Lumber company, Portland Tim
ber company, Summit Timber copany
and the J. W. and J. H. Cochran hold
ings. A number of small fires have also
been reported in Polk county.

The largest transaction ever matle by
an autombilo agency in the stato of
Oregon was that of Vick Bros., when
they contracted with Honry Ford for the
shipment of 1,000 Ford tractors. The
deal really means the sale to Vick Bros,
of three quarters of a million dollar
worth of tractors to be shipped within
the next year. It is figured that it will
sell for about $900, and on this, basis,
Vick Bros, and the ageneies they es

worth of tractors during the - coming
year. The "Fordson" will plow about
