ETERNAL VIGILANCE
WILL SAVE FORESTS
Extreme Dry Season Makes it Es-
sential That Fires be Guarded
if Timber is to Remain.

PORTLAND, July 1G-Evcry sea-
son the Western Forestry and Con
scrvation association sends through
out the country a warning to camp
ers and forest rangers to use the ut
most vigilance in the matter of al
lowing fires to get a start believing
that an ounce of prccaution is worth
in the matter of timber more than the
customary pound of cure.
"Although July has hardly begun, a
dry spring followed by hot weather
has resulted in terrific forest fires
throughout the coast states. The
tinder-likc condition of the woods 50
early in the season threatens us with
one of the worst fire Yeas in history.
with the situation already extreme
~ serious and the usually dry months
still to come, the Pacific Northwest
faces great danger of uncomfortable"
sweeping fires, before which all effort
Will be pOWerless to prevent great de-
struction of resources if not of hui
man lives. 1t is time to appeal to
every citizen for vigilance to avert
disaster and distress to the Commun-
ity"
In these words the Western For
estry and Conservation association
begins a statement issued today as
the result of reports upon the unus-
ually critical forest fire situation re-
ceiyed from its subsidiary fire fight
ing organizations throughout the
northwestern states. All authorities
agree that the unusually early ar
rival of dangerous conditions war
rants grave apprehension. Great de-
struction has already resulted in Mon
tana, Idaho and California. In Ore
gon and Washington many fires have
broken out and although most have
been successfully handled. every day
is increasing the danger Of conditions
which prevent control.
The association calls attention TO
the fact that very destructive forest
fires cone in cycles, due to abnormal
years While in ordinary seasons
countless fires shoulder without Sc
rious effect and even the more i'm
portant ones can usually be checked
comes combination Of protracted
dry weather and wind during which
any fire once started becomes almost
simultaneously beyond influence Of
human endeaVor. Such fires burn
furiously until checked by rain or
lack of fuel and sweep vast areas
with great rapidity. The last Of these
fire years was 1902, when many

THREE PATROlMEN
WATCH ONE HOUSE
Police Department INDUCES I'm Pecu-
liar Policy in Abating Illegal
Disorderly Houses.

Although the police department was
unable through lack of sufficient force
to station sufficient men within the
stockade to serve warrants issued out
OF the city court, and although the de-
partment has been handicapped in
running down criminals by scarcity of
men, and although the cry of the
police department Is give us more
men to perform our duty" II has de-
veloped that the department is suf-
iiciently strong to spare three men
during each "a hours to watch one
house.
For some reason untold woman,
Bee" Bartlett, known as the land
lady of one of salt Lakes houses of
ill-repute. has fallen under the ban,
and three patrolmen, each doing a
tour of duty of eight hours, are de-
tailed daily to watch No. I Victoria
alley and prevent men from going in
there. Belle London still operates the
stockade and there are other known
houses of ill-fame within the uptown
district, but the three specially de-
tailed men are not concerned with
them.
Chief of Police Barlow this morning
admitted that the purpose OF the
police department is TO close the house
operated by Bee Bartlett and that men
have been detailed for that sole pur-
pose.
That woman must go out of bust
ness" the chief said this morning. "and
We are going 10 put her out of bust
ness. Men have been detailed to watch
the house and see that II Is not
opened"
When asked IL other houses in the
uptown district would be closed the
chief replied:
well we intend to close all OF them,
but AT present we are only after Bee
