Guarding . Forest From Fire.

Fifty telephone stations distributed through San Gabriel forest reserve, in California, will be used next summer for the special purpose of giving timely warning in case fire breaks out any. where in the woods. Twenty-Five ran gers will patrol the forest and, being armed with portable telephones, will be able in an emergency to cut in on the nearest wire without losing the time needed to reach a station. The irrigation and electric power compa- nies that utilize the San Gabriel river have organized this method of protect. ing their watershed.

The Mauic paper.

This curious incident of travel in Africa is told by A. Henry Savage Landor: "I wished to buy a bag of grain, but the woman who owned 1t would on no account accept silver money for it nor any article which she saw fin my camp. My Somali servant had bright idea-the only one he had during the entire journey across Af- rica. He went to one of the boxes of provisions and tore off highly colored label from a corned beef tin. Having licked 1t eopiously, he stuck it in the middle of his forehead. Inquisitive. like woman. the Carayu asked him what he did 1t for. The Somali said he had been seized with a violent headache and the colored paper was a certain cure. The Carayu at once of- fered tie grain if the somali would part with the magic paper. Her wish was satisfied without delay, and the woman departed happy"

THE BREWERS
WAKE AT LAST

The brewers are now taking a
stand for temperance" and for
the abolition of saloons of the low,
dive variety. Their attitude is
somewhat ludicrous, for it has been
known for years that many of the
worst kind of resorts were owned
by brewery interests.
However, the reformation of the
gentry in question, even though
backed by fear of the prohibition
movement, is none the less well
come. and is decidedly enlivening,
considering their virtuous stand for
temperance and morality.
If the brewers had long ago agi-
tated for law forbidding the sale
of liquor to any man in the least
intoxicated, their positions would
not be so dangerous as it is today.

EVIDENCE OF RE.
TURNING PROSPERITY

One of the best signs of return
ing industrial activity in the east
is presented in the following state
ment in the Wall Street Journal in
regard to recent iron sales:
Sales of pig iron have reached
enormous proportion. 1t is esti-
mated by leading firm that sales
in western, eastern and southern
districts over the last two weeks
aggregate total of nearly 4OO,O
tons, In view of the fact that
sales until recently have been ex-
ceptionally light, the heavy pur-
chases over the last two weeks are
regarded as significant. Iron prices
have been advanced from so cents
to 81 ton. Transactions since
the current buying movement
started are estimated as close to
S., O0O,O 900 in value.
The iron and steel market is rec
ogniZed as one of the most accurate
barometers of industrial conditions.
The increasing demand means that
a large amount of structural work
of various kinds is being under
taken, consequent on the restora-
ton of confidence in the CONNER
cial future of the country. Sales
of nearly 100000 tons of pig iron
in two weeks afford one of the best
evidences that could be desired
that the whole industrial situation
is satisfactory.

TURN BREWERY
INTO CANNERY

The Bosch brewery of LaGrande
Ore. one of the largest plants of
the kind in eastern Oregon, will be
closed July / as a result of prohl-
biton vote at the recent election,
announces all Oregon report.
Plans are already on foot to con-
vert the brewery into fruit pack
ing and storage warehouse. 1t is
located conveniently to the O. X.
& N. depot and is large and well
arranged building and is we'll
adapted to the purpose. Julius
Roesch, proprietor of the brewery,
is one of the pioneer brewers of the
state and has accumulated fortune
in the business. However, the in
creasing fruit culture in that vicin-

remain idle long after the prohlbl-
ton law goes into effect.

BE SURE ABOUT
THAT AMENDMENT

Before casting his vote upon the
proposed amendment to the state
constitution to be SUBMITTED at the
coming election, every voter should
carefully study its provisions. 1t
makes a number of important
changes in the present methods of
taxation, and vests almost unlimit-
ed power in the tax commission,
giving it authority to put railroads
or other corporate property into a
class by itself, instead of providing
that all property shall be taxed up
on an equal basis as at present. 1t
also deprives the Legislature of its
authority to exempt certain prop
erty.
The amendment in itself is vague
in meaning, neglecting to cover
several subjects of the sections of
the constitution of which if passed
it would take the place. 1t is an
amendment which should not be
passed without the voters inform
ing themselves fully as to what the
effect would be.
The bill submitting the amend
ment was introduced at the request
Of the state tax commission, and
the, purpose was stated to be to
give the commission more author
ity than it now possesses.

What Our Readers Think Of Us.

One of our readers said to us
recently: Turner your paper does
not contain as much reading matter
as some of the newspapers ESQ call
ED that l am taking, but l will
say this much, that what it does
contain is by me, considered reli-
able and truthful, at least that has
been my experience, and have read
it every week for twelve years.
And, another thing l like about
The Dawn is that it does not run
whiskey or saloon advertisements
and is published in the interests of
the whole people rather than pet
faction
The above ecOnium would make
even a wooden man feel glad and
we can assure our friend and
friends that we do most certainly
appreciate the many kind words
spoken in our behalf. Such kind
words tighten Our burdens and
makes work a pleasure, besides
newspaper men like to know that
their labor is not in vain and is APP
preciated. No, never in all our
twenty eight years of experience
as editor and publisher, has
a whiskey or saloon advertisement
appeared in our paper and we have
had tempting offers, too; and that's
not all, SO long as our head keeps
cool and our feet warm, we never
expect to run such advertisements.

FUEL supply MAY
BE SHORT AGAIN

The predication of those who
appear to be best posted on the fuel
supply for year to come is that
while enough coal may be had to
meet absolute demands, it will not
be so plentiful as for the past year
Last summer the demand was
great for coal and no dealer could
fill the orders promptly. everyone
using coal was after enough to fill
his bin, and there was no let up
until it was so. Unless the same
thing is done this summer it will
be the same old song when you go
to your dealer next fall-no coal
today" The mines have no stor-
age capacity, hence when the rush
comes, the railroads will not be
able to handle it fast enough.
Last summer a vast amount of coal
was imported and distributed along
Pacific coast points say at least
2OO,O 900 tons. Alaska is now in
the market for coal and only a
week ago the government made a
big purchase of coal in Seattle to
be sent to Alaska, some say 1000
tons, but it is perhaps much great
er.
In this connection we may say
that O. NJ. Latimer, formally of
this city, and D. l.. Wallace of
Seattle, have formed company
known as the Larimer-Wallace Co
and opened up a coal field on the
straights of Fuca and are turning
out 800 tons daily. Mr.. Latimer
was in the city Saturday and in
the course of regular transaction,
made w. D. Carter their agent for
Ellensburg. The coal from this
mine is said to be the best on the
the Pacific coast, one ton produc-
ing as much heat as two of any other
mine, and has only six per cent
ash, and leaves no SCOT, producing
a light white smoke. 1t resembles
and burns, and is to all intents
and purposes equal to the anthri-
cite coal of Pennsylvania. The
head cook in Hotel Butter of Seat
tie says: Il broiled steak over
the coal without leaving the least
bit of coal order, something that
cannot be done with any other coal
ever used by this hotel.

THIS IS TRULY A
GREAT COUNTRY

While it may be true that
"We've had no Spring. and our
climates changing" we cannot
see why people should wear long
faces when, on picking up almost
any paper they read of storms
tornadoes, floods and destruction
of crops by frost. If our climate
is changing without special disap-
pointment or loss, except it be late
ness of crops, we surely can afford
to smile with contentment over our
exemption from much greater ca
1amities and even loss of life. 1t
was only a week ago that Nebraska
and Kansas were visited by a tor
nado which killed score OF people,
wiped out several towns and de-
stroyed much property of all kinks
At Fairfield more than 40 buildings
were demolished, including three
churches. A deluge of rain fol-
lowed the wind storm, which added
