other workmen narrowly escaped

The fire started when loggers used
two charges of dynamite in a log in
the Leona Mill & Lumber Company's
works. Only one of the charges ex-
ploded and this set fire to the under
brush. The workmen nearby feared
to approach the scene to fight the
flames. as the second charge had not
exploded and made a near approach
dangerous. A sudden veering of the
wind trapped group of the men
with fatal results.
The men working in the sawmill
rushed to the fire to aid the loggers
and were enabled to save some valu-
able timber, though unable to give
the men caught in the flames the aid
they needed. The fire burned over a
tract of logged-t IF land near the log

ings, five donkey engines and mile
of the railroad track before it was
controlled.

Boys Are Killing front

There is band of young boys en-
gagged in a practice along the banks
of Bear and Ashland creeks that
ought to be investigated by the game
warden. They have been in the habit
of damming up the streams during
the low water season and catching
many small trout which are placed in
bottles and other receptacles and then
allowed to die. Many of the fish
taken are far below the six-inch limit,
which is a direct violation of the
game laws. Their manner of catch
ing them is also a violation of the
laws.
Habits of this kind are of no par
ticular value in boys even when fully
developed and ought to be broken up,
and the loss of these fish is of nc
small import. The state is endeavor.
ing in every way to keep the supply
of small fish up in these streams and
to have them ruthlessly slaughtered
by boys is not encouraging.
