forest Fires Begin

Mainland papers speak of terrific
forest fires in Whatcom and Skagit
counties the first of the week,
which is no doubt the cause of the
thick smoke hanging over the is
lands. Two or three logging camps
have been burned out, and refu-
gees from fire-swept districts are
fleeing to the larger places, 200 ar
irving at Sedro-W -Wooley and Hamil-
ton from burning districts further
east.
A later report from Hamilton,
Skagit county, says that seven per-
sons lost their lives, four logging
camps were wiped out and the
property loss rounds into hundreds
of thousands of dollars. At least
forty families are homeless and PEN
niless.

service on earth, the Great Father
saw best to call her away from earth's
struggles and battles. 1t is a great
mystery, but so is life, SO also is ev-
cry heartache, every sparrow's fall.
Into a world OF action, trial, struggle,
pain, disappointment and uncertainty
we come with infantile cry. AS the
great mysteries begin to grip the
heart and the battles Of life begin to
rage, wonder and yet deeper wonder
fills the SOUL. Who knows but that 1t
is equally as well that having faced
the mysteries and measured our own
souls we should be spared the further
conflict Of the swiftly passing years.
Surely our God does but seek to bring
us to mature development Of soul
that He may gather us to Himself If
that day comes just as life's sun
rises to the mid-morning hour, 1t is
just as we'll. Who knows but that it
Is far better?
| Long will linger the fragrance of
this beautiful young life. In the
heart Of parents, brothers, sisters,
school-mates and friends, her mem
ory will be cherished The silent
tears may fall, and the heart be sad,
for the parting, yet each one 80 be-
reft may look into the face of the
Christ whom the dear child served,
and say: Master, great and holy,
merciful and mighty, we surrender to
Thee this dear heart, and our own

institutions for less than $4,000, the
State only furnished the material laid
down OH the grounds, and the stu
dents did every lick OF the work, with
out any pay. In regard to this school
am informed by white men in po-
sjtion to know, that not one of the
hundreds Of boys who have graduated
here has ever been brought into court
charged with any crime and, so far
as know, not one of the girl graduates
has ever led an immoral life Or gone
astray. A remarkable showing for an
institution that has turned out hum
dreds and hundreds Of graduates.
Appropriation for elections next
year will be reduced about $4,000,
as the expense for this Is very light
in the off years.
Printing the Code this year cost
$4,000. This expense occurs only
every tenth year, the law requiring a
new Code printed each tenth year.

referred in my former article, re-
comes an accomplished fact the re-
tirement of 100000 of our present
debt, and the Sinking Fund now has
that amount Of money to be 30 ap-
piled, 1t means a saving in interest OF
$4,000 per annum for the next 20
years. If the remainder of the bonded
debt Is refunded at a per cent (as we
have no doubt II will be. we already
receiving inquiries from bond brokers
j of New Yorw, Chicago. and other cit
, ies) it means the saving Of $26,10 per
annum for the next 20 years.
