Fire Patrol Busy

Portland, June 10.AWith about
800 patrolmen already in the field,
to be supplemented steadily from
now on, and with trail and tele-
phone building being pushed rapid
ly, the forest protective agencies of
the Pacific northwest are commenc-
ing the fire season of 1913 with
more thorough preparation early in
June than in any previous year, ac-
cording to reports received today,
simultaneously from all such agen-
cies by the Western Forestry &
Conservation Association. Al
though it has been a wet spring.
without fires in standing timber so
far, these same conditions have re-
tarded the cleaning up of slashings
and similar fire-traps and it is alos
feared that the law of averages will
result in dry summer. Fire Off
cials particularly urge the greatest
care with slashings and right of
way clearings from now on to pre-
vent fire from escaping or springing
up later. Any burning hereafter
until October l, must be with per-
nit from fire warden.
Private patrol associations have
greatly extended their acreage since
last year. particularly in Oregon
where the last legislature passed a
compulsory patrol law. New legis-
lation in California is expected to
have the same effect. For the first
time, all the northwestern states will
profit fully by the Weeks law under
which the federal government con-
tributes to State patrol, In Idaho
and Washington the principal rail-
roads are clearing their rights of
way of inflamable debris and vege-
tation. Considerable complaint is
made, however, of county road
supervisors and contractors who al
low road-building debris to accu-
mulate in defiance of law. Loggers
are reported more interested in fire
prevention than ever before, and are
generally following the suggestion
, of patrol associations to post rules
around their camps instructing their
employees in precautions and II
steps to be taken if fire breaks out
In many cases camp superintendent
are being instructed to turn theil
forces over to fire wardens on de
mand, without awaiting instruction:
, from proprietors. since fire preven
r ton is set ahead of getting out logs

CONVENTION

Troy. Idaho. June 9.-The La
tab County Convention, of the F.
E. & c. U. of America, held at
Troy on the 9th and 7th of June,
was attended by about fifty dele
gates and members, which is a good
attendance, considering the back
ward season. The farmers have
had to finish planting their crops,
which were delayed considerably,
by the wet and cold weather. The
Inland Empire has certainly had
their share, bnt we are hopeful and
in good spirits concerning the har-
vest returns.
Our State Representative, A. H.
Oversmith, gave a very instructive
and interesting address on the i'm
portant features of our last legisla-
ture. Could the farmers be appris-
ed of the perpetiations for special
interests, we feel assured that some
revolutionary, or at laest evolution
ary spirit, would soon come into
prominence. The good roads ques-
tion, in its various features, was
presented very forcibly, and every
member present should certainly re-
turn to his home with the desire to
impress upon his neighbor, the
necessity of united and determine q
action for the improvement OF oul
roads, for necessary and practical
purposes, for the multitude, instead
of for special interests in particular
districts or the state.
The question CT our appropria
tons for state institutions, the agri
cultural and experimental depart
ments. was discussed, and tha
it is the concensus of opinion, tina
the power of appropriating money fo
the maintenance of our institutions
should be taken from the legisla
ture, and placed in mill basis. up
on the assessed valuation of tn
State. 1t is further apparent that
sentiment is rapidly growing, tina
the practical results obtained from
some of the scientific methods, ar
not sufficient to justify the expen
ditures.
Mr.. F. I. Cunningham gave /;
short address on the betterment o
our Rural Schools, and their con
solicitations. Considerable interes
was manifested. but owing to tn
importance of the question, no de
finite action was taken, althoug
suggestions placed great stress upo

SOON TO REMOVE HOMES
IN WILLOW TREE ALLEY
Bids for Tearing Down Twenty or
More Buildings to Be Opened
Next Monday.

Bids for the removal of the twenty odd
buildings in Willow Tree alley, which
is to be converted into park, will be
opened at the municipal building next
Monday, and work on the improvement
project, it is expected, will start not
later than May !. After the buildings
have been demolished the property is
to be graded and sodded and equipped
with walks.
Approximately $4,000 is available for
the work. The appropriation for the con-
domination proceedings was $4,000, but
only 10000 of this amount was re-
qured. SO that sufficient balance is
left with which to improve the property.
The police and health departments and
the board for the condemnation of in
sanitary buildings long endeavored to
have Willow Tree alley, which is locat-
ed between Sd and Az and and c
streets southwest, improved, the locality
being termed a plague spot and a men,

mended similar treatment for Goat alley,

Also Want Law to PenaIize
False Statements to Sc

Laws for the punishment of persons
who make false statements in order to
obtain credit and who oyerdraW their ac-
counts at banks We're indorsed last night
at meeting of the District of Columbia
Bankers Association at the New Willard
Hotel. 1t was proposed that legislation
be passed for the District requiring every
one who desires credit of any kind to
make out a regular statement
committee made UP of Samuel J.
Henry, Andrew Parker and Clarence Cor
son was named to investigate the laws
of various states on the question of over
drawing banking accounts and to devise
means for checking the practice in the
District. 1t was declared the habit of
kiting' checks is very prevalent in the
city. and causes much annoyance and eX-
pense to bankers.
Bad Checks Wilfully Drawn.
Robert n. Harper, president of the Dis
trict National Bank. said that 81 per cent
Of the checks returned marked mo good
Were known to be such when drawn. He
said that it Is common practice for men
to draw checks knowing they have insult
ficient funds, although they invariably
pretend that a mistake has been made
when the matter is called to their atten-
ton.
Bad-check laws have been passed in
several states, and within the last few
weeks one was passed in Virginia. The
new Virginia law allows the maker Of the
check two weeks in which 10 make resti-
tuition, after which the bank may prose-
cute, and a penalty of $1,000 may be
placed on the maker of the bad check.
Law in Twelve States.
The false statement law which was in
dorsed is one already approved by the
American Bankers Association and the
National Association of Credit Men. 1t
has been passed i'm twelve states and is
now pending in the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture. 1t provides a definite punishment
for any one making false statements in
order to secure credit of any kind.
John Poole. secretary of the associa-
ton was authorized to obtain ruling
from the Treasury Department in regard
to the handling of receipts from the

banks want to know whether they can
carry these receipts as a cash reserve un-
til they have been redeemed by the de-
