l4O7 FIRES IN
FORESTS Do ONLY
$425,OOODAMAGE

Although total of 1407 fires
occurred in the forests Of Oregon,
outside the national forest boun-
daries, during 1922, the total dam
age to timber, logging equipment
and all other property amounted
to only $425,317 for the season,
according to the annual report Of
F. A. Elliott, state forester. A to-
tai Of 17S,530 acres Of forest land
was burned over, 116,908 acres Of
this being cutover land, burns and
brush. OF the 1407 fires reported
during the year 353 were of in
cendiary origin. 95 were caused by
lightning, 174 were started from
slash burnings, 1913 were started
by careless campers, 81 by care
less hunters, 123 by smokers, 62
by stockmen, AZ by railroads, 73
originated in logging operations,
13 from sawmills, and 27 from
road construction.
Cost of protecting the states
timbered area amounted to $437,-
352.47, of this amount 80 per cent
being contributed by private own
ers of timber land, IA per cent by
the federal government, per cent
by counties, and per cent by the
state.
Improvement carried on by the
state forestry department during
the year included the construction
OF 1915 miles of new trail, con-
struction Of 63.75 miles Of tele-
phone line, brushing out of 2483
miles OF old trail and the construc-
tion and repairing Of 23 cabins,
lookouts, ETC., all at total cost
OF $22,009.5S.
The report gives the air patrol
credit for the performance Of "a
most valuable service in the pro-
lection of the forest resources.
The airplane patrol, Elliott de-
clares, not only exercised good
moral effect upon the users Of the
forests who were inclined to be
careless with fire but it was found
that it tends to decrease incendiar-
ism. Beyond any question, the re-
port declares, the air patrol de-
creased the violation of the state
slash disposal law.
Seventeen cooperative forest pro-
tective associations operated in
the state during the year, parrol-
ling a total of 6,662,618 acres.
Convictions were secure d
against LAG violators Of the forest
fire laws with fines and costs i'm
posed aggregating $1837.54.

Wallace Reid Near
Death; Dope Parry
Reb0rtsAreD

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1S.-
Wallace Reid, motion picture star,
is on the verge Of death and for
several days was not expected to
live, according to Mrs. Wallace
Reid dorothy Dayenport) in an
interview for thesLos Angeles Ex-
aminer given at Hollywood SAN
itarium last night.
One of the physicians, according
to the Examiner, corroborated
Mrs. Reid's statements, saying:
'Mr. Reid has been near death
for the past five or six days. His
temperature has repeatedly reach
ed 103 and his pulse $50, as
against normal figures of tempera-
ture 9S and pulse ~. His heart
action is irregular and weak. He
has tainted on an average of three
times daily and has lost seventy
pounds in weight. Laboratory
findings at the present time indi-
cate he is suffering either from a
complete exhaustive condition or
from influenza.
Influenza Possible.
A reinfection of influenza is
possible at any time ana could
cause his death. This is not an
ticipated by attending physicians,
but must be and is being consider
ed"
His present illness has no con-
nection with over-indulgence in
alcohol or narcotics, although such
indulgences have undoubtedly un-
dermined his strength and system
in months gone by"
Mrs. Reid, in describing his con-
dition just before the present
breakdown, said that he wept and
said

RELATIVES ASK
R|TNER TO FREE
SCORES OF CONS

Governor Ritner is being be-
sieged by friends and relatives Of
inmates of the state prison here
urging their release on pardon OF
parole.
The hope for executive elem
ency which always burns bright
est in the breasts of the convicts
and their friends and relatives al
this time of year--just before
Christmas time-has been consid-
erably strengthened this year
through the good fortune which
has come to the nine men who
have been permitted to leave the
prison during the past week
through the good graces of the
governor.
Appeals Fill Mails.
Every mail brings it's quota of
petitions and appeals for the relief
of some prisoner and every day
finds number of people seeking
an audience with the governor in
the interest of the release of some
friend or relative doing time"
within the walls of the state pris-
on. Usually these petitioners are
women-mothers, wives, sisters or
sweethearts of the convicted men
and the rejection of their tear
full prayers for clemency is not al
ways an easy task.
In order that no false hopes
might be raised by his release of
the nine men who have gone out
of the prison during the past two
weeks Ritner this afternoon issued
a statement to the effect that no
pardons have been issued. nor
would any be issued by himself in
the future except upon the recon-
of the sentencing judge,
the prosecuting attorney or the
state parole board.
Furthermore" Ritner added,
sit will be necessary that the war
den of the penitentiary vouch for
the good conduct of the prisoner
during his incarceration and also
make statement giving it as his
opinion that the prisoner under
consideration for release would
not be a menace to society if Civ

 About that time, mile and hali to the southward. James Darragh cdme ont on the rocky and rushing outlet Of Star Pond.

 fJackn' he called in a guarded voice.
 Trooper Stormont turned, caught sight of Darragh. made signal of recognition, and came toward him. ,Darragh said: Your mate. Troop CT Lannis, is down stream. I've two of my own game wardens at { cross roads. two moft on the Ghost Lake Road, and two foresters and an inspector out toward Owl Marsh"
 Stormont nodded, looking down at the dogs. @S.
 What are they. Jim?"
 es."Otter-hounds," said Darragh. "a breed of my own. But that's all they are capable of hunting, l guess" he added grimly.
 ;. Stormont's gaze questioned him. ' fS.-'Well." said Darragh, ''I left my two guests at Harrod Place to amuse each other, got out three couple of my otterrhounds and started them as hoped and supposed on Quin- tAnas trail''
 What happened?"i inquired stor- mont curiously.

These poor beasts don't know anything ex-. s1ept an otter. I just hoped they might take, Quintana's trail if l put them on it.'
 They had been walking for twenty minutes, possibly, exchanging scarcely q word, and they were now nearing the hilly basin where Star Pond lay when Darragh said abruptly:
 .'I'm going to tell you about things Jack You've taken my word so far that it's all right"
 < Naturally said Stormont simply ', The two men, who had been brother officers in the great war, glanced at each other, slightly smil- ing.

while, l found out that the crime had been perpetrated by Jose Quintana's gang of international crooks mas querading as Bolsheviki,"
 Stormont nodded; ''I also came across similar cases" he remarked.
 Well. this was fragrant example. Quintana had burnt the chateau and had made off with over two million dollars worth of the little Grand Duchess jewels-among them the famous Erosite gem known as The Flaming Jewel"
 Eve heard of it."

safe with such an avenue of escape open? HH tss
 For swimming was sard's single ac- complishment. He wasn't afraid ol the water; he simply couldn't sink Swimming was the only sport he ever had indulged in. He adored it.
 And al that instant the very heavens echoed with that awful tu- mutt which had first paralyzed, then crazed him In the woods.
 n'the bushes on the lake shore he saw animals leaping and racing, but. in his terror. he did not recognize them for dogs.
 Then suddenly, he saw a man. close to the house. running; and another man not far behind. That he under stood. and 1t electrified him into action.
 It was Zoo late to escape from the house now. He understood that in- stantly.
 He ran back through the dance- hall and dining-room to the pantry: but he dared not let these intruders hear the noise of hammering.
 Ungovernable terror seized Sard, Scarcely aware what he was about, he seized the edges of the big pipe and crowded his obese body into It head first. He was so fat and heavy that he filled the tile. To start him. self down he pulled with both hands and kichod himself forward, tortoise like. down the slanting tuhhel, stick ing now and then, dragging himself on and downward
 There came hitch somewhere; his heavy body stuck on the steep incline.
 Then, as he lifted his bewildered head and strove to peer into the blackness in front, he saw four balls of green fire close to him in darkness.
 He began to slide at the same in- stant, and flung out both hands to check himself. But his palms slid in the slime and his body slid after.
 He shrieked once as his face struck furry obstruction where four balls of green fire famed horribly and fury of mnrderous teeth tore his face and throat to bloody tatters as he slid lower, lower, settling through crimson-dyed waters into the icy depths of Star Pond.
 Stormont, down by the lake. called to Darragh, who appeared on the veranda
 "Oh. Jim! Both otters crawled into the drain. think your dogs must have killed one of them under water There's big patch of blood spreading off shore"

 "Yes?"

thought of the jewels that Eve had concealed-the gems for which she had risked her life.
 He said: But you tell me Quin- tana robbed you this morning."
 He did. The little Grand Duchess and the Countess Orloff -Strelwitz are my guests at Harrod Place.
 Last night snatched the case containing these gems from, Quin- tana's fingers. This morning, as offered them to the Grand Duchess. Quintana coolly stepped between us"
 His voice became bitter and his features reddened with rage poorly controlled:
 By God, Jack, should have shot fcred. Twice I've had the chance. The next time. shall kill him any way I can. Legitimately."
 Of course" said Stormont .gravely. But his mind was full of the jewels which Eve had. What and whose were they-if Quintana again had the Esthonian gems in his possession?
 A. few minutes later, as they came out among the willows and alders on the northeast side of Star Fond, Stor- mont touched his comrades arm.
 Look at that enormous dog otter out there in therlake"
 And now the hounds. unleashed. lifted frantic voices The, very sky seemed full of the discordant tumult; wood and shore reverberated with the volume of convulsive and discordant baying.
 Damn it,', said Darragh, dis gusted, that's what they've been trailing all the while across-wo oods- that devilish dog-otter wonder. And had hoped they were on Quin- tana's trail---"
 A mass rush and scurry of crazed dogs nearly swept him off his feet
New Britain herald., 1922-11-01

and both men caught glimpse of 6 large bitch-otte taking to the lake from ledge of rock just beyond. Well. I'm in for it now" muttered Darragh, starting along the bank toward clinch's Dump, to keep an eye on his dogs.
 Stormont followed more leisurely.
 CHAPTER ".
 A few minutes before Darragh and Stormont had come out on the far ther edge of Star Pond, Sard, who had heard from Quintana about the big drain pipe which led from Clinch's pantry into the lake, decided to go. in and take look at it.
 He had been told all about it's uses how Clinch---in the event of a raid by State Troopers or Government en- forcement agents-could empty his contraband hootch into the lake if necessary-and even could slide a barrel of ale or a keg of rum, intact into the great tile tunnel and recover the liquor at his leisure.
 Also, and grimly, Quintana had ad- mitted that through this drain Eve Strayer and the State Trooper, Stor- mont, had escaped from Clinchs Dump.
 So new Sard, full of curiosity, went back into the pantry to look at 1t for himself.
 Almost instantly the idea occurred to him to make use of the drain for his own safety and comfort.
 Why shouldn't he sleep in the pam try, lock the door. and, in case of intrusion-other exits being unavail- able-why shouldn't he feel entirely
