CO-OPERATES TO
PREVENT FIRES
State And Federal Forest Officers
viii Make a Special Effort This
Year To Get More Value Out Of
The Service Than Has Been OBJ
tanned Heretofore.

The post office department has JUS
repeated, in the current postal guld'
supplement, the instructions through
which rural carriers are to report for
est fires to the proper authorities dul
ing the coming season. These in
ructions were first issued in May
1912, and during the past two years
bring a rural credits bill up for con
detection and suppression OF many
fires.
State and federal forest Officers
will make a special effort this year
to get more value out of the service
than has been obtained heretofore.
The usual procedure has been fol-
he state fire wardens or federal for
est officers to send to the postmasters
l.ss OF local wardens and patrol
men, with their addresses and tele-
phone numbers. These lists are Civ
en- to the carriers with instructions tt
report forest fires to men whose nam
IS appear thereon, or to other res
ponsible persons. This year a spec
ial effort will be made to follow up
the sending out Of the lists by hav-
ing the patrolmen and wardens meet
the carriers personally and to take
the initiative in arranging such meet
ings,. and also to map out plan OF
action to- be followed.
riers and the federal forest officers
riers and the fdeeral forest officers
viii be elective in the twenty states
in which the national forests exist
and with state forest officers in the
twenty states which have established
their own fire protective systems
It is expected that the services Of the
carriers will be particularly valuable
IN helping to protect the new ma
tional forest areas in the southern Ap
palachians.

Letter May Accompany Package by
Parcel Post. tis-..-

just why somebody did not have
sense enough to think of it before,
is the impression that follows the
reading of one of the latest orders of
the postmaster general. He DEGREES
that when the sender of parcel
post package on which postage is
fully prepaid desires that it may be
accompanied by a communication
which is not permissible enclosure
with matter mailed at that rate, the
communication may be placed in an
envelope fully prepaid at the first
class or letter fee of postage, and be
attached to the parcel. In other
words packages and letters can be
sent together, thus insuring that the
two will arrive at their destination
at one and the same time.

A Horrible Accident.

Mrs. Tessie Ellis, and George Nit
chell, manager of the cafe at the Ore.
gon Hotel, Portland, were killed al
most instantly Sunday afternoon
about 'clock near Enrol station, on
the Estacada line, when an inbound
excursion train struck them. Nit
chell sacrificed his life for the woman,
who was his intended bride. He met
death while trying to extricate her
foot from its position between two
ties, where it had become fast.
Mr.. Mitchell stopped to release the
foot, and as he did so, Mrs. Ellis look
ed back up the track and saw the ap-
preaching inbound train. She faint
ed, and fell into his arms. He tried
to raise her and to release her foot.
While engaged in the effort the train
came down upon them. Both were
killed almost instantly.

ROASTED THE FARMER
Tom Richardson, the Portland Boost
or According to Press Reports,
Gave a Roast at Philomath.

| The following is from the Corvallis
Gazette-Times and we fail to see
where Mr.. Richardson ever got such
an idea of the farmers. The writer
wonders what kind Of farmers were
in the audience that could sit quietly
by and let an outsider who is paid a
princely salary, talk to them in that
manner. 1t is such tommy rot talk
as this that makes the farmer keep
away from public gatherings. He is
getting tired Of hearing men who are
paid for smooth talk, telling what is
best for him, like he was an idiot.
1t is joke to hear some Of these
self-conceited fellows who don It know
where their next meal is coming from
to tell the farmer who has made
success in life and have accumulated
enough of this worlds goods to in
sure them good living for the fl-
ture. 10 have these cheap guys taks
such an iterest in them and tell what
they must do and then roast him for
not giving some of his hard earned
dollars to the enterprise that lie is
fostering, for the per cent he is to re-
ceive If successful. Mr.. Richardson
is one among the few that has saved
his money and like Billy Sunday the
evangelist, has made mint by his
professions as good talker. Here
is the article:
Tom Richardson, $4,000 a year
booster for half-dozen states of the
Union and now the most scintillat-
ing orb in the booster armament of
Oregon, gave Philomathites the most
genteel and altogether acceptable
roasting" they ever had or are like
ly to have.
Tom told, them about the honest
farmer" and told them that there
is no such lovely animal in the woods
before he quit he had
his audience that he said
nothing but the truth. He said the
farmers isolation necessarily narrow
ed him until he was suspicious of ev-
cry other man, suspicious that all
were trying to take advantage of him.
AS result he tries to get the ad-
vantage first and becomes dishonest
at heart, even against his will. He
said the farmer, because of his isola-
lion, is the most selfish man on the
face of the earth, giving less to the
great general good than any other
ess to the idealistic things for which
men and women labor, less to charity,
ess to schools, less to everything that
makes for growth and progress Of the
community and the happiness of the
Individual. He held that the farmer
himself, because he won't give his
10Y or girl show, won't give them
proper share for their labor, won't
1--WE them some of those things for
which their ideals call, drives them
rom home. He figures that he can
ire help cheaper. Tom scorched the
armer who comes to the city, wants
o bring the farm and his animals
With him, and growls and whines
bout everything the community
Tants to do to better itself. He wants
he convenienees and pleasures of
ommunity life, but he not only does
ot want to help pay for it, but he
pposes efforts to bring him what he
eally desires.
