BRITISH COLUMBIA DOOR

Enforcement Of Order Barring Aliens
of All Countries Begins and
Many Are Turned Back.

SEATTLE, Dec. 22-"Keep out.
This means you. tool" is the order
that has come out of British Columbia
to American artisans or laborers
skilled or unskilled, who, in view of
the present overcrowded condition of
the labor market in that province, are
forbidden to enter any part of British
Columbia.
Enforcement of the edict began at
this port yesterday. Inspector S. N.
Reod, of the Canadian immigration
service, stationed at Seattle, said that
he did not interpret the order as mean
ing that American artisans as class
were undesirable, but until they were
excepted from it's provisions he would
have to enforce it against them. BY
the terms of the order it continues in
effect until March 81, 1914.

ATTACK ON SALVATION ARMY
Foes Say Employees Get Ptiful Wages
for Work In London-Prosecu

London. Strong influences are be-
ing brought to bear on the board of
trade to make that body prosecute
the Salvation Army, whose leader,
General Booth, on a trip to New
York occupied the royal suite on a
crack liner, 1t Is said.
One of the army's sources of income
in London is the sale Of various kinds
of rubbish collected all over the city
and the men and women who do the
sorting Of this are declared to be
shamelessly underpaid, and required
to sort half ton day. The army
gives board and lodging to a man able
to handle the above named quantity,
and If he does more he is paid at the
rate of cents for every hundred
weight, it is alleged.
A competent carpenter employed
regularly by the army gets the munifi-
cent sum of rs cents a week, for which
at frequent intervals he is required to
return humble thanks.
AT the Salvation" wharf the condi-
lions are said to be even worse. A
gang of seven men, loading 100 pounds
Of stun, receives eight shillings and
twopence for its collective efforts. 1t
is said, each man getting a shilling

fires started during the past season
we're due to human agencies and may

Railroads and lightning are the most
prolific causes of forest fires. Sparks
from passing locomotives find lodg.
ment in dry leaves and underbrush
and burst into flames. While fires
caused by lightning are not prevent

who are stationed at high points
throughout the forests, in communica-
tion by telephone or heliograph or
both, with forest rangers and super
visors and with each other, makes it
possible to locate fires Immediately
after they are set This is greatly
lessening the loss from fires caused

work of fire prevention and control
All agencies are working on the
theory that 1t is much easier to stop
a fire before it gets going well than
to control it after 1t is in full swing.
Discussing the question of fire pro
lection, Henry s. Graves, chief Of the
forest service, said:
State foresters and western lum-
bermen's associations are in many In
stances cooperating with the forest
service in fire patrol work and fire
fighting. The forest service Is each
year building miles Of new FIRE trails,
telephone lines and lookout stations,
and each year the fire danger will be-
come comparatively less imminent, to
the degree that such preventive meas
ureS can be carried out. But this work
Is limited, Of course, by the size OF

way OF reducing fire damage than by
