100 FIRES FOUGHT IN
ONE DISTRICT BY THE
u. S. FOREST SERVICE
Nine Thousand Acres Of Tim
berland and Ten Thousand
Acres of Open Land
Burned Over.

PORTLAND, Jan. 26.-Six fires on
the national forests of oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska burned over 5000
acres of timberland, destroyed 25 mil J.
lion board feet of merchantable tim
Der worth $4,000, young growth and
forage worth $4,000, and cost the
forest service $4,000 to subdue dur
ing the fire season of 1916, according
to a complete report just compiled In
the office of District Forester George
H. Cecil, Portland, oregon.
In addition to the timberiand. more
than 10000 acres of open country was
also burned over.
The fires on the national forests OF
this district for 1915 were distributed
as follows: Alaskan 2S, Washington
465. and oregon 6SS. In number OF
fires reported. the Siskiyou national
forest in oregon leads the district with
243 fires. The Snoqualmie forest in
Washington stands second with a rec
ord of Ia fires for the season. The
least number of fires occurred on the
Tongass forest, Alaska, where three
were reported,
Sixty per cent of these 11T6 fires
were discovered and put out before
they had gained headway enough to
cover quarter of an acre. Thirty
two fires, less than three per cent OF
the total number, burned over more

than ten acres and did damage to ex-
ceed 500 before they were put un-
der control. ANY one of the 1144 9TH
er fires If left to itself might have be-
come large forest fire, says District
Forester Cecil.
Campers caused 20 per cent of all
the fires reported. Lightning was
responsible for 10 per cent, railroads
for s 1-2 per cent, logging operations
1-2, brush burning 6. The remain
der were from miscellaneous and un.
known causes. These figures do not
indicate that campers are becoming
more careless with fire than former
ly but that there was a great in
crease in the number of tourists and
campers visiting the forests, according
to Mr.. Cecil.
Nearly $4,000 of the $4,000 spent
by the forest service in fire fighting
in this district last year was used on
private land within or adjacent TO the
national forests. to subdue fires
which threatened to enter the forests.
Timberland owners furnished cooper
alton to the amount of $5,264.63. E,x-
cellent cooperation was given by the
state foresters of oregon and Wash
ington.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat rec1i-
larry can make mistake by flushing tho
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
. The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine SO it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
N Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

DEAD FURRoW DRAINAGE
BIG HELP IN EMERGENCY

That dead burrows are big aids in
quickly draining flat, clay lands,
firm enough to be worked yet with
SO little slope that water stands in
damaging amounts is the emergency
suggestion offered by E. R. Jones,
secretary of the wisconsin Drainage
association.
Quick drainage is necessary this
year, it is stated, and after the
crops. have started to grow it may
be too late to improve the dead
burrows. In briefly outlining the
best methods to observe in the
hurry-up call for drainage, Mr.. Jones
strikes this keynote:
1.-THE most Improbable land in
Wisconsin today is that which
is just dry enough to tempt the farm
er to work it, but yet SO wet that
| he loses his seed, crops, and labor.
This year of all years farmers should
either not attempt to cultivate such
land, Or else give it the drainage
that will insure good crops.
While the planning of extensive
tile drainage systems is justified or
the assumption that the war may
last for some time, there is also
need for doing something immedi
ately. In this connection dead fur
rows are ready to do the work. Ev-
cry drop of water removed from the
surface of flat, tight lands helps
during a wet season.
| ION these flat lands the dead fur
rows should extend in the line OF
greatest slope, and at the lower enc
of the field an opening should be cu1
through the sod at the border of the
field to let the water escape. from
the dead burrows. A ditch at the
side of the road makes a good out
let for them, but if there is no road
ditch a little work with plow and
grader will provide a surface-run tt
give the dead burrows an Quilt.
Where fall plowed fields do mo-
| provide for dead furrow drainage,
surface-run can probably be made
with road grader through the cen
ter Of the field. This will give
poorly located dead burrows an out
let.
"On the flat lands in northern
Wisconsin farmers have been pEac
ing their dead burrows close togeth
er and extending up and down thu
slope. After seeding they clean ou
the dead burrows with a hoe or else
haul log down them to smash TIT

URUGUAYAN SHIP GORIZIA
SUNK BY TEUTON U-B0A7
No Warning Given But Crew Takes
to Boat and All Are
Saved.

London, May 2. - The Uruguayan
steamship Gorilla has been sunk by
German submarine without warning.
The crew was saved.
The German submarine approached
the steamer, and after maneuvering
into position, shelled it until it sunk.
The crew took to the boats.
The sinking Of a steamer under the
Uruguayan registry recalls the Uru-
guayan reply to Germanys notiffca-
ton of unrestricted submarine war
fare, which declared that Uruguay
would not accept the German position.
This sentiment was reiterated in the
Uruguayan note to the United States
after the declaration of state of war
with Germany. Uruguay, it was stat
ed had decided to maintain neutrality,
but recognized that the attitude of the
United States was just and expressed
it's sympathy and it's sentiments OF

London, May 2. - Strong German
