In Memory or ]. F. schIechter

Why do the clouds seem dark and
gloomy?
Is there a storm SO near?
0, surely twin burst i'm its fury
And leave the earth desolate and
drear.
Yes, the storm that was gathering
has broken
And left its trace in their home
And left them so sad and alone.
One place in their home is left vacant
One voice that was heard is now
stillad
But in their dark hour of trouble
May they look to the Savior who
willed.
Those little ones, o how they MISS him
AS oftimes they climb on his knee.
But o they have a Kind Father
Who is waiting and Watching for
thee.

Editor Elmore County Republican: -
In transmitting to you a copy of
the State Chemists analysis of the
water taken from the well at the west
end of Alturas Street, which has
been adapted as the source of sup
ply for the water works system,
beg to make the following comments:
The water given to the Chemist
of the State Board of Health was
drawn from the 25 foot depth, from
a water bearing gravel stratum be-
low about 13 feet of hard, dry Gem
ented yellow clay absolutely imper-
vious to water Just above this clay
and about 10 feet below the surface
of the ground lis another though small;
err gravel stratum bearing water most
of the supply which very clearly COM
es from surface and irrigation seep-
age. The upper 10 feet of earth con-
siIStS OF fine and coarse sandy gravel
and ON top lava ash SOIL No better
conditions could exist for the assur-
mace of a pure water from a shallow

protection against pollution of the
supply from surface or Irrigation wat
er. ! have installed a number of
water works systems for towns in
the east up to 5000 i'm population i'm
which the source of supply was from
wells ranging from 22 feet to 2S and
80 feet lin depth under similar comdi-
tionS of protective clay strata and
it lis generally accepted by sanitary
experts that such wells furnish a
water actually better chemically and
bacterologlcally than deep wells.
| do not, therefore. hesitate to pro-
nolmcet these wells from which the
-cuntain Home supply lis to be TAX
EN- as entirely free from danger of
pollution or deterioration. As time
goes ON / believe the citizens will
come to fully realize their good for
tune in finding such supply at their
very gateway.
The analysis of the water as con-
TANNED in the report of the State
Chemist follows:
Mr.. Edmund NJ Blake,
Engineer for Mountain Home,
Boise, Idaho.

FOREST FlRE BULLETIN.

Pacific northwest July has begun
tSith almost no loss by forest fires
so far and with conditions unusually
favorable for prevention, according to
the monthly bulletin of the Western
Forestry and Conservation Associa-
ton issued today after the receipt
of reports from practically all pnyate,
s,ate and federal protective agencies,
olashlng fires were numerous in June
but were prevented from entering
green timber. Widespread rains at
the close of the month extinguished
5mouldcning fires and permit prepara-
zion TO meet the inevitable dry spell

Idaho lis reported n particularly
good condition. There has been no
.oss exc pt of a few cut logs. The
timber owners fire associations and
the forest service have pushed work
On trail and telephone building 10 as
OsIt their PATROLS Railroads and log
sens have taken extraordinary pre-
CAUTIONS. The chief complaint is that
settlers are not complying with the
law requiring permits to burn slash
lngs and that in road building too
much maternal is fallen into the ad-
joining woods TO become a menace
than dry.
Washington has had many sharp
,kirmAshea with slashing fires, and
/ few bridges and cut logs have been
lost, but fire has been kept out of
green timber and much good was ac-
omplished by the removal of about
10000 acres Of dangerous logging de
Drills. The state has had 20 regular
yandens i'm the field, besides day La
.abor employed by them. The Wash
ngton Forest Fire Association had
80 ward2ms in June and lis adding
more, besides purchasing several new
lack bicycles for railroad patrol. On
yhj whole, all classes are more care
iul with fire than in previous years.
llhe chief exc sptions to this are re-
Jorted to HE i'm improperly cleared
rights -of-way and in the negligence of
Z few logging operators to extinguish
1!ashing fires completely.
Oregon has also had slashing fires
hlch caused some alarm, but they
lG,e handled promptly by the ward
sns. Over 100 patrolmen have been
)at in the field already by private
Ywnars and the state forester has ap-
pointed II district wardens. The Ore
on Forest Fire Association has or
ganized three new cooperative patrols
IN Jackson, Columbia and Clatsop
counties.
Lightning and brush burning caused
d few fires inv Montana but, as else
where, improved patrol service ef-
fected their prompt extlnguishment.
