Misfortune seems to have picked upon
Italy for an undue share of unweleome at

that turn the sympathy Of the world
toward the afflicted people. The last out
burst of destructive elements fortunately
caused little loss of life, but destroyed
much property and public works along the
rock-bound southern coast famous for its

Aug. 1st. The safe was blown open
and stamps to the value of $426 and
about $50 in cash was stolen. The
loud explosion, which occurred about
3 O'Clock, was heard by many people,
and several men in nearby saloon
went toward the postoffice but were
commanded to stay away by man at
the rear OF the building who empha-
sized his orders by firing three shots in
their direction. Alarm Of the bold rob-
berry was then given by ringing the
fire bell and a large crowd soon gath
cred in the early morning light. In the
meantime, however, the robbers had
done their work and made their escape.

FOREST FIRES UNUSUALLY BAD
The Worst Season Yet to Come Property
Loss Way Up in the Millions


month are but an earnest of worse to
come unless people give more active
heed to warnings, is the tenor Of a
review OF the fire situation by the West
ern Forestry and Conservation Associa-
ton, based upon advices from private
and official fire fighting agencies thru
out the Pacific Northwest. August
has commenced with conditions infin-
itely more dangerous, for besides in
creased dryness of the forests due to
prolonged absence of rain, almost con-
tinuous fire fighting has only kept in
check innumerable fires which still
shoulder, to be famed into flames be-
yond control should strong winds pre-
vail.
Turnout most of Oregon and Wash
ington, up to the present time, more
extensive organizations by timber own
ers and the forest service than ever ex-
listed before has fairly we'll counter
balanced the unusually great number
OF fires. Most Of them have been con-
trolled promptly. Nevertheless, the
aggregate of small outbreaks in valua-
BILE timber represents heavy loss. The
Santiam, Klamath, Wallowa and Hood
River districts in Oregon, and Grays
Harbor and Colville districts in Wash
ington have suffered seriously. Three
men and four women have been burned
to death in the two states already and
the season is not half over.
Since all forces are fighting day and
night, with no time to make reports, It
is impossible to estimate the damage
done in Idaho and Montana, tho doubt
less there has been much exaggeration.
In Idaho, especially where timber own
ers' fire associations are highly efficient,
what seemed an almost hopeless situa-
ton has been gotten pretty well-in
check. In the Occur d'Alene district
but three fires remain not reported un-
der control, these being on Pine and
Graham Creek, near Wallace, and on
the west side of Lake Occur d'Alene.
In Western Montana the situation is
about as bad as it can be, all available
help being enlisted without any GER
tainty of the outcome if rain does not
soon intervene.
The association emphasizes that the
most dangerous portion of the season
is still to come. There are fires every
where that are barely being held in
leash. New ones will overtax all exist
ing organization. Since conditions
threaten under which fire may travel
long distances, timber owners are urged
to extend patrol beyond their own
tracts to all danger points. Establish
ment of citizen fire brigades is advised,
organizing in advance in order to have
help, leadership and equipment availa-
BILE without loss of time. Cities and
towns are asked to take similar steps to
supply men when called upon, with
arrangements for transportation. Every
citizen is urged to spare neither friend
nor foe in reporting violations of the
fire laws, especially by campers, land
clearers, and spark-emitting locomo-
tives. 1t is pointed out by the associa-
ton that if the warnings widely circu-
lated earlier in the season had resulted
in such steps, loss of life and property
would have been largely avoided. They
still apply with even greater force.

GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE
Legislative Committee of Best Citizens to
Frame Good Roads Law for the
State of Washington

The needs OF every community and
district in Washington, and the road
laws Of other states, will be studied by
the legislative committee of the State
Good Roads Association, under the
direction of Frederick w. Dewart of
Spokane, Just appointed chairman Of
the organization, with view to bring
ing satisfactory state road measure
before the next legislature. J. A. Perry,
secretary of the Spokane County Good
Roads Association, will serve in a SINH
lar capacity to the state committee,
which has just established headquarters
in the Hutton building.
J. c. Lawrence, president of the
state association, says in letter an
nouncing the appointment of Mr.. Dew
art that the committee should deter
mine the policy of the association as to
existing laws affecting good roads and
future legislation, adding in part:
Each member is expected to de-
vote such time to the study of the
questions involved that the committee
may be able, at meeting just preced-
ing the state convention at Walla Walla
in November, to bring in complete
report. All prejudices should be
dropped so that full and fair view
may be taken Of all phases of the sub
ject. The laws of other states should
be studied"
Mr.. Lawrence also calls attention to
the fact that under the state aid law,
$51.92 out of every 800 which is
paid into the state aid fund is paid on
property within the corporate limits of
cities and towns, and yet not a single
dollar of the fund can be expended
within cities or towns. 1t is all ex-
pended in the country.
Among other matters outlined by
Mr.. Lawrence for the consideration OF
the members of the committee are the
following:
Should the principle Of state aid be
retained?
What changes, if any, in the admin
istration of this law, if retained2
What provision should be made for
maintenance OF roadside roads now
existing, as we'll as roads hereafter con-
structed?
What steps should be taken toward
securing competent road-builders, men
capable Of taking charge OF road-build-
ing and road maintenance and who will
give 100 cents efficiency for every
dollar expended in both material and
labor?
A determination of the question OF
the different classes OF roads to be con-
structed: State; state aid, local i'm
provement, and township. Where each
class should be constructed and the
relationship of state and county author
ity in construction and maintenance.
The whole wide field is before the
committee" Mr.. Lawrence adds, and
upon the efficiency of this committees
work will largely rest the legislation on
good roads at the next session of the
legislature. There is no limitation to
the committees work"
James Chase, of Cashmere, is mem

those Interested in Mining Get Busy

Chelan county should be represent
ed in the mineral display at the Spo-
kane fair this fall. Freight charges
will be paid, but not express, on all
mineral exhibits to the Spokane Inter
state Fair if left in the permanent miner
al exhibit.
Following the displays made in for
mer times at the Spokane Interstate
Fair. Boundary, Rossland, SLOGAN,
East Kootenay, the districts OF North
western Montana, OF Northern and
Central Idaho, of Northeast Oregon,
and of Washington, felt the impetus
given to the mines by the investment
OF new capital.
The time has again arrived when
safe mining investment is being sought
in preference to any other sort OF
purchase. Land prices are high, hav-
ing doomed for several years, crops are
uniformly light, industrial stocks are in
a state of uncertainty which rather
repel investment, and now the tide has
set in toward safe mining ventures.
What other point keeps in such
close touch with the investing public
as Spokane, and where will you find
people so ready to invest their money
in the mines9
