FOREST NOTES.

Most forest fires are due to
ignorance, carlessness. or malicious
ness.
Lookout men, whose sole business
is to detect and report forest fires.
live on many of the high peaks OF
Oregon and Washington during the
dry season and have within their
range of vision most of the timber
land of these two states.
! The Forest Service maintains
1880 miles cf trail in Oregon. anc
$500 miles in Washington for fire
protective purposes.
A Forest Service staudarI look
out house vii be placed on the sum
nit of Mount Adams about August
|. Tie reaIy-cut material is now
being transported over the last iat
thousand feet Of the ascent. When
in position this will be the highest
forest-fre lookout house in the coun-
try.
The net receipts from the Nation
al Forests of Oregon, Washington,
and Alaska for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918, were s633,7O0.38.
On the eleven forests Of the district
the receipts were greater than the
costs of administration. In amount
of receipts from all sources, the
Whitman National Forest led the
district with $97,66S.61. The Ton
gass with $S6,e19.74 and the Crater
with $S5,025.67 stood second ana
third respectively.
According to foresters, most Of the
annual loss from forest fires might
be prevented +! a little care ca the
part of eysrvcne using fire in the
woods. BE sure your fire is ou, be-
fore you Leave" is good advice and
not hard to take.
American soldiers engaged in the
French forests write. There have
been no fires in these forests for
years"
The hazel hoe is considered By
forest-fire fighters as the best single
tool for digging fire line or trench.
1t is a strong broad-bIaded hoe
suitable for cutting weeds and small
brush as well as digging in the soil.

PENDLETON YOUTH DIES
FROM BULLET WOUND

The city suffered a severe shock
today when it was learned that
Harlan Fell, the 17-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Fell, died from
bullet wound in his head last
night. The deceased lad was one of
the best known and we'll liked boys
of his clique and the news spread
over the city like wild fire and
brought a universal feeling of grief
everywhere. The tragedy occurred in
the Fee gulch, mile east from the
central part of Pendleton.
AS nearly as can be learned Harlan
Fell and Miss Elva Kupers, young
lady with whom he had been keep
ing company for several months and
TO whom it was said he was engaged
to be married, went out for a short
ride, and while sitting in the car
alongside the road talking, the con-
versation turned in such a manner
that led to the commonly called
lovers quarrel" During the course
Of the talk, Mr.. Fell chanced to
grasp a Colt 32 automatic revolver
in his pocket, which he had been
cleaning just before starting for the
drive, and he pulled this out and
threatened to shoot himself. Miss
Kupers caught the revolver-jerked
it from his hand and threw it as far
as she could up the hillside. Mr..
Fell jumped out of the car and ran
and picked up the gun and on his
way back to the car put the gun to
his head and the weapon was dis
charged
He fell to the ground and Miss
Kupers jumped from the car, ran
back to the city, a distance of
almost mile, and reported the
matter to the sheriff He at once
notified the coroner, ]. T. Brown,
who went to the scene, accompanied
by ]. H. Kavanaugh, city health
officer, and Night Officer Charles
Myers.
On reaching the scene they found
the boy still alive and putting him
in the car, brought him to the hos
pital and the parents having been
been notified, Mr.. Fell was present
with his son when he passed away,
perhaps an hour after the fatal shot
had been fired, though the boy
never regained consciousness, dy-
ing about $3.50 last night.
While there are some features to
the sad accident that would seem to
support an inference of suicide, the
general opinion of all who knew
him are firmly convinced that he had
no intention of injuring himself or
any one else and that the trigger
was pulled entirely involuntarily,
perhaps having stumbled or other
wise tightened his hold as he was
walking back to the car.
The coroner did not find 1t nec-
essary to hold an inquest as the
facts of the matter were entirely too
apparent to need any court proofs.
The funeral will be held at 2
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon from the
Church of the Redeemer, the Rev.
Alfred Lockwood, officiating. Eel
low high school students will serve
as pallbearers.-Pen Tribune.
