FISH ARE KILLED BY IN.
TENSE HEAT OF FOREST FIRE

A peculiar feature of a forest fire
located on tributary Of the east
fork of the Salmon river on the
Challis National forest in Idaho was
the total destruction of all the fish
in the stream, according to a report
Of the forest service. The fish were
up in small inlet of Smiths lake,
spawning, at the time of the fire
which travelled up the creek for a
mile. ...
The forest ranger states that be-
cause of the intense heat, thousands
of dead fish are along the stream
bed. In travelling up and down since
he has failed to see a single live
fish. 1t is evident that the fire had
started from campfire left by
fishermen at the lake.
Numerous reports of other fires
caused by carelessness have been re-
ceived and forest officers everywhere
in the intermountain district have
special instructions to apprehend and
prosecute everyone found not taking
proper precaution to prevent the
spread of fire.

CHILDREN TO HONOR
YOUNGSTOWN MAN
Plan $4,000 Memorial to VOL
ney Rogers, Who Pro-
vides Park.

School children Of Youngstown. O..
have started a unique campaign to
raise $4,000 to defray the expenses Of
the proposed statue and memorial en-.
trance to Mill Greek park in honor Of
Volney Rogers, lover Of children, OF
birds and nature.
Men In Youngstown gladly would
defray the expenses, but the memorial
is to be the tribute of.the Youngstown
public, for whom he provided what is
regarded as one of the finest natural
parks in the country and is to be SO.
licited through his friends, the chill
dren.
The movement to erect the me-
mortal was started last fall when the
Volney Rogers committee Of the cham.
Der Of commerce was named and pub
lie suggestions for the form Of the
memorial were called. for.
Mr.. Rogers, an attorney in sYoungs-
town AZ years, loves the country. He
explored Mill Creek valley. and when
the valleys forests were bei1 de-
spoiled for lumber and its natural
cliffs for stone, Hr. Rogers became
active and personally procured options
on more than 500 acres now included
within the park. He then obtained
legislation permitting the purchase Of
parks by townships and purchased
$4,000 bonds needed for the project.
Mr.. Rogers lives near the park. His
father, James Rogers, was one Of the
pioneers Of Columbiana county, and
the Youngstown attorney was born
near Rogers, a town built on land
owned by Theophilus Rogers.

MEX|CANS RESENT
BORDER CROSSING
GENERAL AGUilAR CONSIDERS
ACTION OF AMERICANS AN
AFERoNT TO NATION.
Government Has Not Asked, Nor Will
1t Ask, the Aid Of American Troops
to Fight Villa, Declares Mexi-
can General.

Washington. General CaDdidc
Aguilar, President Carranza's conf
Dental ambassador to the United
States, issued to the press on June II
a formal statement declaring "the gov
eminent and people of Mexico consider
as violation of Mexican sovereignty
the crossing Of United States soldiers
into Mexican territory" and express
ing the hope that the situation Great
ed by the latest occurrences in Jusrez
will be satisfactorily adjusted between
the two countries"
A copy of the statement was sent to
the state department, but officials said
they did not regard it in the nature
Of formal protest and thai no reply
would be made. They added no other
communication had been received from
the Mexican government regarding the
entry Of American forces in,O Mexico.
After the American troops crossed
the international border, General Agui-
lar and DR.. ROjo, the Mexican charge,
were invited to the state department
By Acting Secretary Phillips, who ex-
planned why the American forces en-
tered Mexico and gave assurances that
they would be withdrawn Immediately
after their object had been attained.
1t was learned that President Car
rama never had assented to the agree
ment proposing that where bandit
bands committed depredations in
either country the armed force of that
country could follow "a hot trail"
across the international line.
1.-THE Mexican government has not
asked, nor will it ask, the aid of Amer
lean troops to fight Villa or any other
bandit" said General Aguilar.

And Lord, I've done my best indeed; ;
Look now, with kindness, Father

Protect my fields from winds and

From every pest and insect hosts,
Stay with Thy hand the tempests hail

For my whole fate Your hands now

But if my prayers selfish seem,

OLDEST PRAcTIcINe DENTIST
New York Man Has Passed NInetieth
Birthday and Still Works.

New York Man Has Passed Nlnetieth
Birthday and Still Works.
DR.. Charles Elmendorff, said to be
the oldest practicing dentist in Amer
lea, celebrated his ninetieth birthday
at his home in Penn Van, N. Y.
Doctor Elmendorff is the son Of the
late DR.. James Elmendorff, one Of the
first dentists to open an office in
western New York. When nineteen
years old Charles entered the office
and worked continuously at dentistry.
Practically all Of these 70 years have
been passed at Penn Yam. When Doc
tor Elmendorf began working the art
Of filling teeth was unknown. All he
did for years was to extract teeth
that could not be pulled at home by
the use Of string. Later, however,
when the science Of treating teeth adj
vanced, he was called upon to learn
and employ new methods.
The aged dentist is in excellent
health and can be found in his office
every day.
