Tonight there will be an election OF
directors of the Richmond CONNER
cial club. The polls will open at Z
o'clock and will close at o'clock.
Two tickets are in the field and all
the candidates are claiming victory.
Some of them can't lOse-their names
appearing on each ticket.
The rules adopted by the republican
county central committee will absOlu-
tely be ignored at the Commercial
club election. All candidates are ex-
pected TO be on hand with a hand
out when the polls open. Woe be to
the unfortunate candidate who runs
out of Handouts" before the polls
close. Every voter can be bribed by
drink Of water a campaign cigar or
stick of candy
The Australian ballot system has al
so been taboOed. Voters must step to
the front. grab a ballot and run his
pencil through the names of the can
didates of his choice. This means
that the election will not be on the
square, as no squares appear on the
ballots opposite the names of the can
didates. The election Judges are |. y
The clerks are Harry Watt and r. W
Hall. Every member of the club is
expected to cast a ballot.

FOREST FlREc.
The Watehful Rangers and the Way
They Fiqht the Flames.

iiOJ TiShI ZIG
In almost any of the western noun
tains the traveller sees the fire warn
ings Of the forest service, and he is
likely to meet some of the rangers.
You will find them crossing the high
Sierras in California, in the Crazy
mountains Of Montana, among the
Olympics in Washington or following
the old Apache trails along the mesas
in Arizona. Wherever he is. the ranger
keeps a keen lookout for the smoke Of
forest fires, and in the clear western
atmosphere even a little smoke column
can be detected from afar. AS soon as
he discovers it the ranger takes his ak
and shovel and goes as only a western
horse and rider can. Many small fires
are stopped by this watchfulness, but
there are others which take many men
many hours to SuDdue. A fire in a
chaparral so thick that a man can
hardly force his way through it and
parched by six months of drought
makes hard and trying fighting. Then
there are fires III the big timber among
the dead trees of old windfalls and
overhead fires that spread faster than
a man can run. If unchecked, they
will burn for weeks over thousands Of
acres Of tim Der
And all this destruction may be caus-
ed by a carelessly left campfire or a
match dropped from horseback. The
sheep men used to set the forest on
fire purposely. for the year after a fire
the burned acres yield fine forage.
Happily this practice is discontinued.
Sparks from locomotives now set more
fires within the national forests than
any other cause. Camping parties are
the next worst offenders. Indians
stockmen. miners and lumbermen who
travel continually in the forests very
seldom leave campfireS to spread and
do damage. They know too we'll the
results. For time almost every year
the citizens of Portland, Ore. lose sight
of some of the great mountains around
the city on account of the smoke from
the burning forests. There is little
doubt that since the white man settled
in the west more timber has been use
leSsly burned than has been cut and
used.-Arthur w. Page In World S

top of the head We're the garden of
Eden and the crucifXion. The watch
was opened by reversing the skull. In
