The effectiveness of the organization
is shown particularly by the fact that
while there were in all approximate.

year yet the area burned so far this
year is only about 10000 acres, as
against 100000 acres in 1912 and
100000 in 1911.
A single administrative district,
which covers the ntermountain re.

Arizona, gives an example of the
most favorable situation. Only a.

originated in Idaho The total ares
burned over amounted to only 95t
acres. which is considerably less

Doctor Wins Suit.

Kincaid of Williams has brought suit
against DR.. j. C. Smith, state sem
ator from Josephine county, for $1O,-
600, claiming that DR.. Smith had
been negligent in treating an injured
leg. After devoting a day and a half
to the case, the jury decided, on the
first ballot, that Kincaid had no case
against the physician. There is on
file a damage suit against DR.. s.
Loughridge, for $4,000, brought by
James McGowen, WHO claims that his
injured foot was not properly treat
ed. This case will probably not be
heard this term of court.
