Carelessness Results in Forest Fires.

The present season promises to snow
another heavy draft upon the timber
resources OF Washington through de-
struction from forest fires. While the
situation Is not so critical as two years
ago, when the losses ran up into the
billions of feet, continued lack of rain
fall III the forest area is causing heavy
damage in western Washington. while
many sections east of the Cascades are
being devastated. In the face of strin-
gent legislation and repeated warnings
through the press, gross carelessness is
practiced both in the clearing of land
by residents in the timber belt and by
hunters and campers, in setting of fires.
which ultimately destroy property rang
ing up into the thousands of dollars.
The necessity for enforcement of the
laws for the protection of one of the
greatest interests of the state and g. to
prevent them becoming a dead letter
has been impressed upon officials and ex-
amples will probably be made of the
more fragrant offenders. As usual, wide
spread sympathy will be accorded to the
individuals prosecuted, but 80 long as
this form OF criminal needless ness is
overlooked or condoned it will be i'm
possible to check one OF the greatest
sources of loss suffered by the north.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
TO SEE The BIG CIRCUS
Ringing Brothers Great Show Well
Patronized by the People of Yak
ina County.

Last Thursday Aug. -. was circus
in the county, even from the remote>t
distances came to see the greatest show
of this kind that the world has ever
known. The Ringing Bros have sur
passed in their great menagerie, in their
trained horses and elephants, in their
acrobats, aerialists. clowns and other
features, the efforts of "Old Barnum''
in his palmiest days. Sells Bros. at one
time had a great show. Forepaugh was
a noted circus man, but it i, the opin-
ion of those who have seen all these
shows and even otter the combined or
ganization of Barnum, Sells Bros. and
Forepaugh, that Ringing Bros circus
has eclipsed them all.
1t has been said that when You see
one circus, you see them ALL" This may
have been 50 before the Ringing Bros.
inaugurated an age of progression in
the circus business There is no com
parison between their exhibition of two
wears AGO and this year. Tney have
perfected changes in every department.
The people of Yakima county certainly
got their moneys worth and this was
the sentiment of everybody. Mr.. Ring
ling told 4 reporter for the Herald that
there We're about eleven thousand people
present at the afternoon performance.
In the evening the crowd numbered
about four thousand.
This i, the best town of its size we
show at" continued Mr.. Ringing, "and
we always like to come to Yakima. 1t
seems that all the people of the county
turn out and everybody seems to have
plenty of money and they spend it, Our
sideshows always do big business here
We never expect to make any money
at small towns and consider that wo do
well if we get away with expenses. At
Yakima. however, we usually come out
alright. Our show this year is the big
gest circu, ever gathered together in
the world. 1t surpas,ess anything OF
its kind not even excepting Barnum
We carry 200 people ana our daily ex-
penses are close to 5000" In view OF
the large crowd in the city there were
very few accidents and no one was re-
ported to have been seriously hurt with
the exception of \. 7. Farris of Yakima
City an account OF which appears else
where in this paper. The fire depart
ment was called out twice in the even
ing to put out a small conhagration at
the back of Shardlow's saloon and to
answer an unnecessary alarm across the
track.
