CHAMBERS is CANDIDATE
Asks Republican Nomination for Of
fee of joint Representative.

Finding that his private business
affairs will require his entire time and
attention for the next few months,
Henry Nice, of Toledo, has declined
the assembly Endorsement for joint
| representative from Polk and Lincoln
counties and will not be candidate.
The Republican central committee of
Lincoln County has recommended the
name of Fred w. Chambers to fill the
vacancy on the ticket.
MIR. Gamblers is member of the
pioneer Chambers family Of Kings
Valley, and is well known in Polk and
Lincoln counties. He is a progressive
business man and thoroughly capable
of filling the important office to which
he aspires. AS it is the general wish of
the people of Polk County that the
Joint representative be elected from
Lincoln County this year, it is not
probable that Mr. Chambers will have
opposition for the nomination.
Desiring to give notice to the Polk
County delegates to the recent state
assembly of Mr. Nice's withdrawal
from the race. the Lincoln County
central committee sends the following
letter to the Observer for publication:
Toledo, Or, Aug. 16, 1910.
To the Republican delegates to the
State Assembly from Polk County,
Oregon;
We desire to inform you that Mr..
Henry Nice, after his return home
from Portland, met circumstances over
which he has no control, making it
impossible for him to be a candidate
for Joint Representative While we
greatly regret Mr.. Nice's withdrawal,
we presume the matter was left to us,
and we have substituted the name of
Fred w. Chambers, who was one of
our number at the assembly Mr..
Chambers Is young man well quail
flied for the position and we commend
him to you as a man of good family.
4Ie will be loyal to the interests of
Polk and Lincoln counties, and we be-
lieve he will be a member of whom
we will all be proud. We ask your
hearty cooperation as Republicans in
the support of Mr.. Chambers.

necessary. a favorable point is select
ed directly in front of the fire. from
| which to set the new fire. This mus
be point where 1t is safe to start {
back fire, such as road, fire line
stream, or swamp. The leaves are liz.
nited at points five feet to rod apart
for distance not greater than the es.
timated width of the head of the fire
These small fires gradually meet and
form continuous line, eating back
against the wind. A part of the crew
is stationed across the road or other
break from which the back fire is
started and put out at once the small
fires which may result from the sparks
blown over from the back fire.
The meeting Of the two fires stops
at once the head of the main fire. 1t
is usually possible then to attack the
wings with the ordinary methods OF
fighting. 1t is necessary to attack the
wings at once, particularly If there is
a strong wind, for otherwise each
wing of the old fire would soon form
an independent fire with well-devel-
oped head. 1t is necessary, also, that
a number of men be stationed where
the original fire and the back fire meet
in order to extinguish smoldering
fires in tops, logs, and other debris"
"A fire is never out" the bulletin
concludes, until the last spark Is ex-
tinguished. Often log or snag will
smolder unnoticed after the flames
have apparently been cong cred, only
to break out afresh with rising wind.
After the fire-fighting crew has left
the ground it is always well to assign
at least one man to patrol the edges
Of the burned area until 1t is certain
that the fire is entirely out. This may
not be for several days"
