FOREST FIRES WELL
CONTROLLED THIS SEASON

PORTLAND, Aug. 1S.-July
passed practically without forest fire
loss, August begun with unusually
favorable conditions, and better
equipment than ever before by all
protective agencies except the fed
eral forest service, which is hampered
by congressional delay in acting upon
its appropriation, is the summary OF
statement issued today by the
Western Forestry 4 Conservation as
sociation upon adyices received from
all protective headquarters in the Pa
cihc Northwest. Due partly to the
weather, but also to the perfection of
preventive measures which, like the
block signal system on railroads,
safeguard without being spectacular,
the situation is novel in that the
middle of the usual four months fire
season has arrived and there Is not
a single fire of Importance to report.
Although small fires are becoming
numerous, green timber is not dry
enough to carry them unless strong
wind prevails and the patrol forces
are handling them promptly. The
season has been favorable for dispos
ing of dangerous slashings and never
before has there been such system
and success In extlngulshIng smoul-
dering logs and snags left after
burning to become a menace later.
On the other hand, the growth Of
grass and underbrush has been 80
heavy as to threaten peculiar danger
from now on. Marked improvement
in care with fire Is reported. although
there is considerable complaint
against careless leaving OF debris by
county road builders and against the

operations of small and irresponsible
loggers.
Washington reports no July fires
OF consequence, but the laws are be-
Ing enforced rigidly to prevent dan
ger later. Several attempts to burn
without permit or operate unguard-
ed engines have been followed by
prompt arrest and conviction. The
Washington Forest Elre association
has 80 patrolmen out and is deyoting
special attention to finding and ex-
tnguishing any fire left after spring
slash burning. The state forester has
27 regular wardens on duty aud Is
increasing this force gradually, be-
sides having a special force Of 80 Sc
cured by government aid under the
Weeks law
Oregon had but one fire worthy Of
mention in July and this was speedily
extlnguished, without loss, by the
Columbia county patrol association.
About $50 wardens are on duty In
the state outside the national forests,
employed by state, counties and prl-
vate owners.
Although the usual fire season Is
nalf over congress has made no APP
preparation for the federal forest
service. The national forests are be-
ing guarded on deficiency fund
which It Is said would be wholly in
adequate IN an ordinary season, but
so far there has been little loss.
It Is emphasized by all authorities
that, while the immunity enjoyed so
far shortens the dangerous season
and has permitted careful prepara-
tlon, a few hot drying days may bring
the maximum hazard at any time
now All persons are urged not 10
attempt slash burning and to exercise
great care with sparks, matches and
camp fires

RICH LOWER VALLEY
OF THE APPLEGATE

There is a section OF our countv
lying almost at the very door of the
county seat which is very little
known to the average resident of
this commercial center, and thar is
the lower Applegate valley. A little
stretch of country four miles and a
half long and a varying width from
one-half mile to a mile and a half
il can be approached either by the
Wilderville route and the ford there
or by the bridge which crosses the
river on the Crescent City line. The
important features of the country
consist of rich fruit and agricultural
lands which have grown orchards Of
great value.
Dr. Withycombe Of the Agricultur.
al College visited there a year. or
thereabout, ago, and after a careful
examination said that there was more
ideal fruit land on the south side of
the riyer-land that would produce
fruit-than could be found in the
whole Hood River country. The doc
tor of course referred not only to the
soil but to the climate of the little
valley mentioned.
The section contains the Robinson
orchards, several in number, the
Penn-Oregon orchards. the Hill. the
Close, Jones, Morrison, Doener.
Ruttencutter, Woeffle and the Nc
Kinstry. Some of these orchards are
quite small indeed, being productive
farms only, but Others are large and
will produce heavy crop this sea
SON The two brothers, r. NJ. Robin
son and J. II. Robinson, will shin
about 5000 boxes of apples this sea-
sen, and they are of the very finest
quality The Robinsons it will be re-
membered, are old-timers. and went
into the fruit business years ago. j.
il. Robinson the past week purchased
an auto truck by which he intends TO
broaden the market for his fruit He
will carry peaches and apples to
Crescent City and many other local
tiles where good prices and an ac-
tive demand exists.
In the very near future the Robin
sons together with E. T. McKia-
stry, will go extensively into the
dairy business, putting in a cream
cry and a sufficient number of COWS
to make the business remunerative
The land in that section produces the
very finest of alfalfa as well as other
forage crops. Within the next few
months large number of dairy cat
tie will be added to the farms men
toned, and by next year the creamery
business will be in full swing in that
part of the Applegate valley The
Courier is glad to note the fact that
the county seat has within nine miles
of it a country that is rich beyond
measure in general agriculture, fruit
growing and dairying. Irrigation is
the very foundation of the prosper
ity of that section, and it has been
developed to an extent that justifes
the assertion that there is no coun-
try anywhere that gives better re-
turns for the money and labor in
vested than does the lower Applegate /
valley.

A Word on County Expense.

-Four years ago the candidates for
County Commissioners on the Dem
ocratic ticket went up and down
bowling about the expenses on the
county under Republican manage
ment. They even would cut down
the expenses of the county and
see that the taxpayers money
would be saved and handled in an
honest way. Geo. W.. Suppiger
declared in various speeches that GER
tain Republican officials were steal
ing the county money; a thing that
he knew was ABSOLUTELY false and
groundless. Now let US see what did
really happen after the election. The
Records now show the following:
Claim No. 2725 of 1909 series, claims
No. $3.50, 1928, and 7o9 of 1910
series were presented by Geo. w
Griner, Assessor, for plat work
done in the Assessors office. These
bills amounted to just 100000 The
plat work was lever done and the
chairman John Hail knew that the
work was never done, yet they allow
ed the bills and the money was paid
over to Mr.. Griner, along with the
regular salary. Talk about graft!
E. j. Gemmills expense bill for
the quarter ending in October, 1908
was $62.5O. This included a trip to
Boise to meet the State Board of
Equalization. Complete vouchers
were filed with the bill in accordance
with the law. After the Board was
organized with Mr.. Hall as chairman
let us see how the expenses went.
Geo. w. Griners expense bill for the
quarter ending in October 1910 was
$185.O0. This included a trip to
Boise to meet the State Board of
Equalization. No Vouchers Were
Filed With The Bill nor was it item
lied, despite the fact that the law
says plainly it must be. The. bill
was allowed and signed by Mr.. Hall
and the money paid over to Mr..
Griner. Was the total expense of
the county cut down after Mr.. Hall
was elected? Let US see the records.
Current expense of the county for the
years 1907 and 1908, amounted to
$78, 500. This was under a full
Republican Board. Current expense
of the county for the years 1909 and
1910 amounted to 1914, O2O. Mr..
Halls promises was forgotten and the
total current expense increased
$15,451. Under the Democratic
Board with Mr.. Hall as chairman
the county went behind, the total
deficit in Current expense, Road and
Bridge funds being $27,479,37
Under the Board with Mr.. McIntire
