COURT TO
AID WARDENS
APPROPRIATE $50 FOR BUILDING
TRAILS IN MOUNTAINS.
Fire Wadens VIII Use Money to Good
- 10
Advantage They Say; Trails Need
ed in Case of Fire Outbreak.

For the purpose of building trans
on the summit of the mountains to
aid the fire wardens in locating and
extinguishing fires and protecting the
forests. the Polk county court has
anpropriated $50. This is a move IN
the right direction and the amount
though small, will help materially IN
connecting UP trails whereby the 1re
wardens will be better enabled TO
patrol our timber lands.
The matter of the proper expeno;-
ture of this money has been left IN
the hands of w. V. Fuller and Frank
HAYDEN who, from long experience
in the timber lands of the county,
know where the work is most need
ed.
Horse Trail to Summit.
Tho first work to be undertaken
will be to open a horse trail TO the
summit of the mountains from a
point where the Falls City and Siletz
Basin road crosses the summit, 10
connect with the old Boulder Creek
trail which passes the Riley cabin IN
section 12, township s, range g.
This will greatly assist the fire
wardens in getting supplies in the
event that they find it necessary to
nut in a crew of fire fighters in that
vicinity. Next year it is the intention
TO connect this trail with, and open
nm the old Crowley trail which fol-
lows up the divide between MIL
creek and the LaCreOle.
Some counties are doing nothing
to assist the fire wardens while 9TH
ers. realizing the necessity Of pro-
teeting their timber from the ravages
of fire, are helping very materially
Coos county, for instance. is spend
ing $500 per month, during the dan
gerous season, for this purpose.
Fire Wardens Appointed.
Frank Hayden who did such good
service last year has been reappoint-
ed chief fire warden for Polk coun-
~. and w V. Fuller, Of this city
has been appointed a fire warden TO
serve without pay in the event tha'
his services are needful

With the arrival in Dallas on We'd
nesday morning of Scott Swetland,
Washington and Oregon manager Of
the j. X. Armsby company, accom-
panied by A. E. McIintire, contracto"
for the erection of the plant, all doubt
regarding the early construction in
this city of the big prune packing
plant proposed by the Armsby com
pany, was removed and even the
Doubling Thomases now believe that
the concern will be a reality.
The factory people were met at the
train by representatives of the Com
mercial club, including members of
the manufactures committee, whose
duty it had been to secure a site in
the event that the company desired
to abandon their intention of using
the railroad property as heretofore
announced. Mr.. Swetland, however,
found a message from the headquar-
ters of his company, in San Francis
co. directing him to go ahead with
his operations on the railroad site
and thus all negotiations for other
locations were abandoned. I'VE in
tended to come anyway" said Mr..
SwetIand to the committee, "but ow-
ing to unsatisfactory conditions
which the railroad company imposed
we felt that we could not use site
on their property. This however,
has been settled satisfactorily to our
people and the plant will be located

COUNCIL WILL
DANISH SLOT
MACHINES
Ordinance To Be Passed at
Next Meeting to Prohibit
These Gambling Devices.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
TO TAKE 1T UP TOMORROW

Councilman Charles w. Smith, chair
man of the council committee on leg
islation, said today that an ordinance
would be passed at the next meeting
of council absolutely prohibiting the
use of slot gambling machines in sa-
looms and locker cluLs
Il have called a meeting Of the com
mittee on legislation for tomorrow aft
ernoon at ? O'clock" he said az that
meeting an ordinance wiping out this
infamous system undoubtedly will be
adopted. From the expressions of the
other members Of the committee. AL
dermen James E. Warren and John s.
Gambler, Councilmen Claude G. Mason
and Clarence Haverty, | feel sure that
they think as / do.
I'VE would have considered this mat
ter at the meeting Of the committee
Tuesday, but no quorum was present.
Alderman Gambler, as acting mayor, is
SO busy that he may not be able to at
tend the meeting tomorrow Council
man Haverty is out of the city and is
not expected back by that time But
the other three Of us are sufficient to
formally recommend an ordinance to
council, and I think council will adopt
the ordinance forthwith"
Hands Tied, Beavers Says.
Police Chief Beavers said the slot
machines are the most cunning gam
bling device ever used in Atlanta He
said he had not proceeded against them
because w ID. Ellis, Jr., assistant city
attorney had signed written agree
ment with John w. Moore attorney for
the Atlanta Gum Company which owns
large number Of the machines, that
the city would not prosecute any of the
owners of the machines for gambling
until the higher courts decided whether
the operation Of such machines was
game of chance.
With proper legal instructions, Chief
Beavers said he would at once stoG all
use of the machines.
The opinion of W. G. Humphrey,
chairman of the police committee Of
council, is that the machines should be
barred from saloons and locker clubs
whether they are gambling devices or
not Regardless of the phase of the
law with which Attorney Ellis is deal
ing, members of council have decided to
stop this gambling through their au-
thorlty to regulate the conduct of near
beer saloons and locker clubs.

casions failed to kick the goal.
AubWn's s points came as a
result Of two field goals.
McWhorter was the real hero
of the day, his end runs, which
usually came on the fourth down,
were sensational.
Auburn had no line Of defense
that could stop him. Bowden ran
him a close second.
Covington kicked off for Georgia. the
ball going to Major, who ran it back
yards to the 20-yard line. Arnold
went around his own right tackle for
yards. Arnold went through center

something more than fun and beauty.
There was cold in the cabins of the

comes only with a snow storm. There
was lack Of food in many of these
homes of the humble. There We're
hundreds of families who saw only the
bread Of charity for their Thanksgiving
dinner, while all the world seemed
feasting on turkey and oyster dressing
The white feast day was a black fast
day for many an Atlanta child.
Early in the day the line began to
form at the office of City Warden
Thomas Evans, Most of the others of
the city hall force had taken holiday,
but when the irst flakes fell last night
the warden knew there would be no
holiday for him, He was at his desk
today before most Of Atlanta had
slipped it's breakfast coffee, but the
poor were even earlier than he.
At the Associated Charities the de-
mands for aid show no apparent in
crease early in the day. The snow
brought demands for immediate re-
lief, and the sufferers evidently pre-
