People cannot be to careful with
fire at this season of the year. A
campfire left smouldering is apt to
be famed into flame, by passing
breeze, and create destructive fire
causing loss of life and property.
Cigarettes, cigars and burnt matches
should be thoroughly extinguished
before being tossed aside. If people
would observe these little things
more carefully there would be fewer
forest fires to contend with.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1910-08-26

Despite the warning of our County
Court, who have done everything to
warn and acquaint the people of this
county of the danger of fires during
this dry season, fires are raging in
almost every direction. While none
OF them appear serious at present,
as the big timber seems in no i'm
mediate danger, yet one of these
little fires may suddenly spred into
the timber and destroy millions of
dollars worth Of timber. In every
section OF the northwest forest fires
are burning, whipping out cities and
killing many people, and the same
thing might happen in this county.
The county has several fire wardens
patroling the timber of the county
watching and fighting fires, bul they
could not handle a big fire, should
one start. 1t is up to the citizens
OF the county to keep close watch
for fires that have been started and
see that no more are started. At
this time the atmosphere is 50 thick
with SMOKE that the sun is obscured.
On the road between here and Siletz
fire has been raging for several
days, but by untiring efforts of a
large crew of men under the direc-
tion of w. C. Fischer the fire is now
under control. On Depot slough
few miles above Toledo fire is re-
ported to be burning. For three
days the Stewart hill just out of
town has been ablase and for some
time has threatened the destruction
OF several homes. South of Altree S
mill anther fire is burning. While
there is no immediate danger of any
OF these fires spreading into the big
woods they are destroying much
small timber and wood and are a
menance to the residence in the Vi
cinity.

THE POOR, THE TARGET OF
SHORT WEIGHT DEALERS,

A citizen went to three confectionery
stores in the business centre of the
city and made small purchases of can
dies for some children. In a Broad
street store, where the best quality of
CONNECTIONS is sold, he bought half a
pound of fine mixed candies, for which
he paid % cents. The young woman
behind the, counter placed the candy
in a p%asteboard box and put that on
the scales and a half pound weight On,
After weighing she put more candy in
the box. The man took his purchase
to the office of City Sealer sullivan and
had it weighed there. The candy and
the bsx weighed 12A ounces.
A pound of cheap mixed candy pur-
chased in a Market street store was
found by the city sealer's scales to be
nearly an ounce below h standard
pound of 16 ounces. Half a pound OF
chocolate bought at an old-established
confectionery was a quarter OF an
ounce above the right weight.
A man bought epson salts at two
drug stores in the centre of the city,
one a new up-to-date store, the other a
store that has been conducted for many
years. The man bought a quarter OF
a pound of salts at each store. By the
scales of the city sealer zach package
of salts weighed Az ounces, a quarter
Of an ounce more h a was paid for.
Sealer Sullivan said hat the new
~up-to-date drug stores have finer
standard scales than the city supplies
to his office, and old druggists ask
every year to have their scales tested,
He said it is the same with the veteran
and high-class confectioners, especially
in the business part of the city. He
declared that it Is in the small stores in
the east and west ends Of Newark
where weights are light. and, therefore.
tho poor are the losers.
Then there is a class of foreigners
who have. within a few years, opened
large confectionery stores in the retail

business centre of Newark as well as
in the outer wards. These are, he said,
the ones who require watching. a
light pound of candy was purchased at
one Of these stores today.
1t is estimated by Sealer sullivan
that there are over 10000 scales in
Newark stores of all kinds that ought
to be tested every year, and at least
90. 0CO wooden and basket measures in
use by dealers. He said that With his
small force Of inspectors it is impossi-
bic to test all these scales and meas
ures. There should be enough inspec-
tors so they could drop in at stores IN
every part Of the city three or four
times a year when not expected. Now
a dishonest dealer knows that If his
scales and measures are tested and
sealed once in aiyear the inspector is
TOO busy to call again for another
twelve months or more.
