IT COSTS MONEY
But We Must Have It-A Reckless
Expenditure Of Public Funds
Goes On.

OLYMPIA, June 30.-Acting Gov
ernor Hays special session has al
ready cost the taxpayers Of the state
an appropriation Of $4,000. and of
that sum $1O,S26.3O has been ex-
pended to date as follows:
Mileage, $5,590.30.
Senators and Senate employees,
1884 per diem.
House members and house en-
ployes, 1855 per diem.
And $1,000 for printing.
The senate last week raised the
House appropriation for the expenses
of the extra session from $4,000 to
100000, and directed that what the
legislature did not spend was to be
given to a legislative investigating
committee for further probing of the
public officers. If the session runs
three weeks or more, as many sena-
tors are now predicting, and an in
vestigating committee is named, an
other appropriation will be neces-
sary, and the original estimate OF
the cost of Hays folly, $4,000, will
run up to 100000. 1t seems also
that the printing Appropriation of ST.
900 is inadquate and an extra $4,000
will be needed, bringing the total ap.
preparation to date up to $4,000.
There is no hint of curtailment
of expenses, and the old extravag-
aimee of the regular session may be
confidently expected. An indication
al vote was the granting of the full
mileage from his home to Represen-
tative Rooves, of Whatcom, and Stone
Of Lincoln, both of whom are tempo
rarily located in Seattle, seventy
four miles from the capital. Reeves
draws $40 for 400 miles and Stone
$1O5.20 for 1862 miles. Seattle men,
bers draw $14.S0 for seventy-four
miles. The house lawyer ruled that
Reeves and Stone were entitled to it,
and the lower body paid the bill
without murmur

Wesley Wade, aged II, whose
mother, a widow, lives on West
Second street was accidently drown
ed in the Wishkah river Monday
morning. He had left home with a

had a boat moored on the bank of
the river. They We're looking for
the boat when Wade slipped off Il
log and fell in the river, pulling
his companion with him. Sagendorf
seized hold of log, but Wade SEEM
ed crazed with fright and made no
effort to save himself, although he
once grasped Sagendorf by the hanl
but released his hold again. Sag
endorf was rescued by some men
working nearby but by this time
Wade had gone down for the last
time.
Coroner Smits decided that an in
quest was unnecessary and the fun
eral was held Tuesday afternoon

STATES Cooperate WITH FED.
ERAL SERVICE.
n Strong Effort Being Made to Obtain
Forest Fire Statistics. The For
est Division Of Agricultural De-
partment Urges the Cooperation
of States.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 29.-State
officials, associations, and individu-
ais will cooperate with the United
States Forest Service in an attempt
to get accurate records of all fire
losses in Washington and Oregon
this summer. The Forest Service
vii! compile report showing ny
counties, the area burned Over If
merchantable timber, non merchant
able timber, and the cost of fighting
the fires. In this way the Federal
and State Governments as wei, as
tn" public will be enabled to oDt1in
a. Gnce systematic Information con-
f":ning all fire losses in these gates.
heretofore. this information has
been only partially collected. The
Forest Service has secured compre-
hensive reports from rangers on the
National Forests, but from no other
source. The State Boards of Forestry
in Oregon and Washington have had
reports from their various wardens,
many regions had no wardens. The
state and government statistics were
in different form and not brought
| together. Consequently, although
those interested in the subject know
in a general way that fire entails
an enoromous loss to the community
every year. they have been unable to
back their arguments for remedial
action with any definite proof.
District Forester E. T. Allen is
receiving the active help Of the Ore
gon Conservative Association, the
Oregon State Board of oFrestry, and
the Washington Forest Fire Associa-
ton in organizing the work. The
two latter have revised their report
frOms to bring out the same facts
regarding all fires. The Oregon Con-
servation Association is canvassing
act as fire wardens and report on
| fires in their territory and presents
their names to the state board for
appointment. 1t will also send each
man a post card reminder every two
weeks, with a return card on which
he will enter a few main facts about
the fire. The Washington Forest
| Fire Association will collect reports
from its rangers and from other cor
respondents where it has no rangers.
The Forest Service will furnish
franked envelopes for mailing in the
reports, and compile the results. The
Washington State Board of Forestry
has not made any agreement as yet,
but will undoubtedly furnish all the
aid it can.
| Every lumberman, or any one else
who is interested in preventing for
est fires, will see the advantage in
bringing this information before the
public and can be of great assist
ance by reporting fires in his vicin-
ity. Forms will be furnished on ap-
plication to the Secretary Of the Ore
gon State Board of Forestry, or, in
Washington, to the Washington For
est Fire Association.
