DISASTROUS FOREST FIRES
Flames Devastating Great Tracts Of
Fir and Cedar Timber.

1t is estimated that more than ST.
100000 worth of timber has been
destroyed by forest fires 10 northwest
ern Washington this summer, and the
flames are still devastating great
tracts of fine fir and cedar trees.
In Skagit county alone, along the
Sauk river, almost $4,000 worth
of standing timber has been eaten by
fire in the latter part of August.
The fires in. Skagit county are yet
burning fiercely, and men are forced
to battle day and night to save prop
erty. In Whatcom county this year
forest fires are the worst known since
the disastrous fire of 10 yeras ago,
when the confiagration was SO wide
spread that Bellingham and other
towns were threatened. On the shores
of Lake Whatcom 100000 worth of
fir and cedar has gone up in smoke.
In. the Mount Baker distict much valu-
able timber has been ruined by fire
within the last week and the forest
rangers and miners are still fighting
the fiery foe.
Property worth $500, 900 has barely
secaped total destruction, and the
danger to some of il is by no means
past. In the vicinity Of Maple Falls
scores of men are battling to save log
ging camps and mills.

A THIEF At THIRTEEN YEARS
Finds Companion in Portland and
Starts Out on Career of Crime.

Abused by his father so that he had
to run away from home last October,
then turning thief, pickpocket, hobo,
burglar and purse -snatoher--this is
the story told to the Portland Oregon
ian by Alfred Hanson, a 13 year old
boy when arrested by Captain Bruin
after he had with another boy made
an unsuccessful attempt to snatch a
woman's purse. The career of the boy,
his admission of crimes committed in
nearly ten cities on the coast, and his
acknowledgment that be knew he was
doing wrong revealed story like
that of the familiar character of
"Artful Dodger,'' described by Dick
ems. Harrisburg, Albany, Pendleton,
Walla Walla, Tacoma, Spokane, Bel
lingham. Seattle, Centralia and Port
land were visited by the boy, who
reaped harvest in ecah one.
According to his own story, Hanson
began when he was years old by
stealing some candy and gum from a
store near his fathers ranch, on the
Silverton road, about six miles from
Salem. After that he went further
and further down.
Mrs. #. J. Shelton, who lives at
Arleta, informed captain Bruin Satur
day afternoon that two small boys
snatched hsr purse at the o. w. P. 81
Ry waiting room. In the evening
Captain Bruin suspecting that the
boys would make another attempt to
snatch purses or pick pockets in the
crowded waiting room made O trip
there. After few minutes be notic-
cd two boys, whose descripti ,ns
agreed with those furnished by Mrs.
Shelton. lodging between the crowds.
Presently he saw one OF the boys ap-
proa6h woman who was at that
time tieing her shoes and attempt to
snatch the bag she had laid on the
bench alongside. The other boy also
attempted to take the purse, hut the
woman suspecting something grabbed
her bag and laid it on her knees. The
boys then left, going up on First
street. Captain Bruin followed them
closely Dehind and soon saw one of the
boys make an attempt to steal some
bananas from fruit stand. Then the
captain grabbed the youthful thieves
and brought them to the station.
Hanson was closely questioned by
Captain Bruin and after few de-
mails and after being confronted by
the Knapp boy, who had made full
confession a few minutes before, he
told all about his crime as If he was
describing a pionic.

FEEL THE EARTH TREM0R
Baker City People are Puzzled by
the Sensation.

It is reported that last Saturday
Baker City experienced an earthquake
shock, the first that has occurred
there. The shock was local one
but was felt for quite distance
around the city. It was experienced
by at least 100 different people.
At first the idea was scoffed at.
People hardly believed their own
senses. The sensation was that OF d
building being raised aud settling
again. Some thought it an explosion.
One man rushed up stairs to rescue
his sleeping son, believing the lad had
rolled out of bed. The weather OBJ
server declares it true earthquake.

WILL ENFORCE LAW
Governor 10 Request Roads to
Furnish Reports
WILL BEGIN ACTION At ONCE
Secretary Of State Dunbar Has De-
clined to Comply With the
Governors Request.

Governor Chamberlain personally
will take up the matter of enforce
ment of the state law requiring rail-
roads lc make annual reports as soon
as he returns from the Boise irriga-
tion congress.
Secretary of State Dunbar has de
clined to comply with the governors
request that the railroads be notified
to obey the law, and the governor
will proceed as chief executive to en-
force the law of 1885 unless the courts
de clare that it is no longer in effect,
says the Journal.
shall call on the railroads myself
to maks the reports required by the
act OF 1885, il the secretary of state
declines to make the demand upon
them" said Governor Cham berlain.
1T is not the duty Of the secretary OF
state nor of the governor to determine
whether law is In force. That is q
question for the courts.
The code commissioners were in,
doubt as to whether the act of 1885 is
still in force, but tney decided to
place It on the statute books, and
it is the duty of the state officials to
regard it as in force until the courts
decide otherwise. .
The governor said that because
law appeared in print in the code it
did not necessarily follow that it had
not been repealed by legislative aot.
But in view of the fact that the old
law of 1885 requiring railroads to
make annual reports to the state was
placed in the code by the code CON-
mission, @. B. bellinger and w. w.
Cotton. and that the commission was
in doubt at the time as to whether the
law had been repealed, it remains
with the officials of the state of Ore
gon to enforce the law until such time
as the courts decide that the law is
not in effect. 1t is not the province
OF the secretary of state or any other
official in the statehouse to decide the
point. The law is there, the same as
are other laws which the people obey,
and 1t Is to be presumed, In the alb
sence of any caurt decision or legis
lative act to tho contrary, that it is
law. Since the laws are for the cor
porationa and the people alike they
should be obeyed BY ali aiike.
II think shall have the matter up
to the courts within very short time.
/ may be able to secure decision on
the matter before the legislative ses-
sion is well under way said the
governss, ut Is my intention, as
soon as | return from Boise, to address
a letter to official representatives of
the railroads. asking them to comply
with the law by making the annual
report prescribed. A reasonable time
will be given for them to Indicate
their course in the matter. =

three runs were scored before the

dollars which have heretofore come to Wrangell will henceforth find their way into the coffers of the business men of Ketchikan. It is perfectly proper for the west coast people to help the town that helps them. The trade of the west coast is growing rapidly, and within very few years will be an item worth notice. There is no reason for saying that Wrangell business men do not want this west coast trade, They do want it; they need it. But they won't get it unless they throw off the robe of indiffer- ence and get busy. This paper will always be found doing it's best to attract people and trade to our town, but it is very discouraging to keep on "harping" on a subject of general interest, with no apparent heed being given. Some may say we are treading on ground where we have no business. Let them go down into their pockets and hand out the amount necessary to equip a printing office and they will be readily convinced of their error. We have plead for meeting of the chamber of commerce, but no such meeting is held; and the world wags on. But we are of the opinion that if immediate and concerted &C., tion is not taken by our business men, we will have an opportunity of saying farewell to the west coast, trade, mail service and all.
