LOOK OUT FOR FIRES
THIS TIME OF YEAR

On account Of the early dry wea-
ther several forest fires have already
occurred in this vicinity due to the
burning of brush areas or slashings
when no fire trail had first been made
around the area to be burned to pre-
vent the fire from spreading. We
have one case in mind where forest
officers and a crew of men put in a
whole night going to and fighting Il
fire which had spread over a good
sized area. 1t cost money, labor and
loss Of sleep, all of which might have
been saved for a better purpose Il
only a little foresight and judgment
had been exercised by the party who
started the fire.
II every one having slashings to
burn in or near the national forest
will report 1t in advance to the for
est service office, Federal building,
Medford, telephone 236, some one
connected with that office will glad
ly cooperate and give all the as
sistance possible. Anyone having
slashing not near the national forest
will be rendered similar assistance
by state or county officials If they
will request 1t of W. T. Grieve or Lin
coin Mccormack of the Jackson Coun-
ty Fire Patrol association.
Due to the fact that the smoky
atmosphere renders 1t difficult to
see a small smoke any considerable
distance 1t has been suggested, and
is urgently requested, that every per-
son appoint himself or herself COM
mittee of one as lookout man, wo-
man or child, and IL fire is sighted
telephone the forest service office
at Medford, telephone 236. or the
district ranger, or lookout man in
your vicinity, give the location of the
fire as nearly as possible, your name
and telephone number. In addition
to this, IL a small fire is seen near
where you are, go to it at once and
corral it by scraping a good trail
around 1t which will prevent the fire
from spreading.
If the fire is on steep hillside
corral the upper side of the fire first,
make 1t so there can be but little or
no chance for the fire to jump the
trail. After a trail foot or so wide,
all scraped to the mineral soil, has
been made around the fire, it may be
necessary to dig a sort of ditch along
the lower side of the fire to catch
burning chunks, cones, ETC., that
might roll down. On fairly level
ground one can easily handle small
fire If there is not strong wind
blowing.
A few days ago little 5-year-old
10Y spotted forest fire and reported
/ at once with the result that the
IRE 1as put under control in only
'lCrt time,
Every person intending to enter
he forests and who expects to build
lamp fires. and every one living in
,r near the forests who wishes to
,urn slashings etc.. may save him
,elf much unnecessary trouble and
worry If he will read the Oregon
orest fire laws. These laws are

.et size, and should he read by every

That a cooperative grain eleva-

Strahorn railroad at Pine Grove, sew
en- miles east of this city, has been
definitely determined by a group of
enterprising farmers of that district,
and committees are out getting sub
scriptions from the ranchers interest
ed, according to County Agricultur-
ist Agent H. R. Glaisyer. A total OF
$4,000 was subscribed at a meeting at
the Pine Grove school house, at
which 25 farmers were present. It
is expected, judging from the inter-

Driving through the Garden valley
section before break of day Sunday
morning, some parties in an auto
created considerable excitement and
occasioned more or less bad langu-
age when they reused out farmers
from their mornings sleep to pro-
claim that the war was ended. Just
who the parties were is not known,
hut they stopped in front of a num-
ber of places and either knocked on
the door to awaken occupants of the
home or called from the roadside,
announcing that the war had come
to sudden end. Generally the sit
uation was sized up correctly and the
jokers, if that is what they may be
termed, were roundly denounced, bur
scarcely waiting to see how the an
nouncement would be received the au-
toists sped away to the next place
where they repeated the performance,
leaving the luckless victim of the
prank to crawl back to bed and finish
his broken rest.-Roseburg News.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
WILL SOON BE STARTED

The Idaho State Council of De-
Tense has sent out the following:
The third Liberty Loan drive is
not far distant. and Idahoans VIII
be expected to do their part in rails
ing the states quota lust as they
did the first and second loans. 1t
need occasion no surprise II the
quota for the third loan IS greater
than were the quotas for either Of
the first two. The people generally
and the county councils in particu
lar should prepare early to meet the
obligations the Nation nnds itself
obliged to request them to shoulder.
Men alone cannot fight the present
righteous war a free people is wag
ing against an enemy that cham
pions the most cruel or atrocities
and reviles the sacred institutions
of civilization. Money and more
money must be poured into the cof-
fers of the Government that vast
supplies may be purchased and 9TH
err great objects accomplished that
gold makes possible.
The matter of purchasing from
the Government a Liberty Bond is
as necessary for those not in the
first line of defense as it is to send
the flower of the country TO the bat
tlefieEds. No Idahoan can longer
shirk this duty. Many OF them are
now carrying bonds taken on the
first and second issues. They will
be asked to take some on the third
issue. Those who have not taken
any bonds will be urged to do their
bit in the next drive. Every coun-
ell in the state should make plans
early to check up on former drives
in their respective counties to ascer-
tain the extent of the holdings of
each individual. No man in Idaho,
who can possibly make the invest
ment, should be without Liberty
Bond after the third drive is com
pleted. Idaho can we'll afford to

ut his approach, Gray Wolf would al
ways hide under the pile Of balsam In
the corner of their prison. The in
stinct of generations and perhaps Of
centuries had taught her that man
was her deadliest enemy. And vet,
this man did not hurt her, and Kazan
was not afraid of him. She was fright

growing curiosity followed that. Oc-
casionally, after the third day, she
would thrust her blind face out Of
the balsam and sniff the air when
Weyman was at the cage, making
friends with Kazan. But she would
not eat. Weyman noted that, and each
day he tempted her with the cholcesy
morsels of deer and moose fat Five

not taken mouthful. Weyman could

Henri went to bed at the usual hour,
but Weyman was troubled, and sat up
late. Midnight came.
He rose, opened the door softly, and
went out. lnstinctively his eyes turned
westward. The sky was a blaze Of
stars. In their light he could see the
cage, and he stood, watching and lis
tening. A sound came to him. 1t was
Gray Wolf gnawing at the sapllng bars
of her prison. A moment later there
came low sobbing whine, and he
knew that it was kazan crying for his
freedom.
Leaning against the side of the cabin
was an AK. Weyman seized it, and his
lips smiled silently. He moved to-
ward the cage. A dozen blows, and
two of the sapling bars were knocked
out. Then Weyman drew back. Gray
Wolf found the opening first, and she
slipped out into the starlight like a
shadow. But she did not fee. Out
