BURNING OF FOREST
VALLEY DESCRIBED

Vancouver, Wash. A story OF
how women and children in the Dole
mountain valley were drenched in
creeks and then wrapped with water
soaked gunny sacks to save theii
lives from the forest fire which swept
the district destroying dozer
homes was told here today by Dep
uty Sheriff Cliff Kemp and Deputy
Auditor C. A. Calander upon theil
return from the devasted area.
Dole Mountain valley, a pictur-
esque community without thorough
fares except rock strewn paths worn
by the tread of ancient motor cars
and horses, lies at the extreme tip
of the Yacolt Washington country
where the fire which threatened Vac
olt, started roading on 16-mile front
recently.
Kemp and Calender said entire
herds of cattle were burned to a
crisp, cremated pigs, goats and chick
ems Uttered the bypath and scores of
settlers barely escped the flames,
fighting their way to safety with Sc
we're burns, injured eyes and smoke
congested lungs.
Nights were filled with horror as
the settlers crouched on door steps
Of their homes watching the progress
Of the flames, fearing that at any in
stant their belongings would be ruind.
On Bell Mountain where the fire rag
ed its greatest, Kemp said he was
surprised to find that all but one set
tier, George L. Tarbell, had escaped
alive. Tarbell has been missing four
days and officials believe he died tryt
ing to protect his ranch home which
was destroyed

IMPORT GRAIN MILLED
IN u. S. TO PAY DUTIES

Washington, Sept. 2O-The senate
finance committee today lost another
one of it's amendments to the house
bill on the floor when party lines split
and sent down to defeat, 81 to 18, a
proposal to eliminate the house pro-
vision making Canadian wheat milled
in bond in the United States for ex-
port to Cuba pay duty of 80 per
cent, which equals the tariff reduction
Cuba grants American flour.
The vote scored a victory for the
southwestern millers of American
wheat and the wheat growers over
the Buffalo millers of Canadian
wheat, and by it free milling in bond
of foreign wheat now would be re-
stricted only to that wheat which is
not sent to countries having prefer
entail trade treaties with the United
States
Twenty-seven Republicans joined
"a Democrats in voting against the
committee amendment to strike out,
while three Democrats voted with
Is Republicans for striking out.
Senator Walsh Of Montana is re-
corded as voting against the amend
ment and Wheeler not voting.

tain Limited. Four days earlier a
similar storm swept seven people to
their deaths at Moselle, Missouri.
ELSEWHERE in the world the wealth
ers' record of violence is even more
striking. Early in July, torrential
floods swept eastern India and Co.
chin-Chna, with stories of hundreds
of elephants floating helplessly to
drown. Four hundren human beings
were drowned by Persian floods on
July IL and II. Turkish floods two
days later caused more than 500
deaths. On July there swept ac-
ross Central Europe storm of thun-
der, wind and hail, unexcelled in vio-
lence or damage since the unforgot-
ten record hail-storm of July 13,
l778, said to be the most terrific
storm of the sort in weather history.
In Japan three-fourths of the aver
age months rainfall fell within 1S
hours in the violent downpour of
May 23, causing millions of yen of
damage to railways, and score or
more of fatalities.
During January and February of
last winter, Europe experienced the
greatest cold in over two centuries.
Trains were snowbound for two
weeks in the Balkans. Rome was
snowcovered, and ice-crusts formed in
Venetian canals. Hungry wolves ap-
peared in villages in Jugoslavia,
Hungary and Spain. "The Flame of
Remembrance in Paris intended to be
eternal, went out because the gas
froze up. The Registrar General as
scribed more than 10000 extra deaths
in England to the weather.
"Droughts, crop failures, and for
est fires are reported from Europe,
from the West Indies from Australia
and elsewhere in the Southern Hemi-
sphere. India and South Africa re-
port te severest hail-storms there on
record. In Jugoslavia, in the early
months of the year, over 100 people
were killed by lightning"
DR.. Free runs briefly over ac-
cessible accounts of freak weather in
the past and notes that most Of the
extreme records come from more
than three-quarters of century ago.
A part Of this, he thinks, may be due
to less accurate measurement, but
that can scarcely be all. He believes
that New York weather, changeable
as it is, is now less so than a century
ago.

ARRESTED ON
WHEAT STEAL
ING CHARGE
John and Dewey Keller To Be
Tried in Coming Term
of District Court

John Keller and son Dewey, OF the
Raymond vicinity, were placed under
arrest by Undersheriff Robert Smith
Monday, on a charge of stealing
wheat from c. M. Munson, of the
same neighborhood, and selling it to
one of the local elevators.
Earlier in the week previous Mum
son had complained to the authori-
ties that wheat had been taken from
his granary and the undersheriff, NIX
ing an investigation Of the scene
took note of certain tracks leading
to and from the place. A popularity
of one of the horses hoofs and wire
patching on one of the tires made
tricks that were easy to note Check
ing up on elevators in the vicinity re-
vealed that the Kellers, who had rails
ed no wheat during the past year
nd delivered load of wheat to the
Pappenfus elevator at PlentywoOd
Checking up on the wagon and hors-
os hoofs of the Keller equipment
showed that the tracks tailed with
those on the Munson place and an
order was issued for the Kellers' ar
rest
A visit to the Keller home by the
undersheriff and deputy last Satur-
day night failed to find the parties
sought at home and visit early
Monday morning brought same re-
suits, but their trail was taken up
short way from home and after
following them over wide and
crooked stretch of prairie trails, the
pair were located at Dooley and plac-
ed under arrest.
They were released under bonds of
$1,000 each furnished by "Nig" Col
Inns and Carl Bye and at a hearing
Wednesday morning were bound over
to the next term of district court.

HE BLAMED 1T ALL
ON THE POOR DOG

Being misunderstood is really
about the worst fate that may be-
fall any creature and Krause the tiny
fox TERROR of Game Warden f. M
Krost, is rejoicing over the fact
that he is in the good graces with his
master again, after suffering gross
injustice for several days.
While travelling through the coun-
try last week Mr.. Krost became
aware that very strong odor of
carrion seemed to perbade the car.
He blamed the dog and as the odor
persisted and increased the poor dog
was chided severely. He started out
on his trip the next day without the
dog and still the odor persisted. Fin
ally he sensed that something was
radically wrong with the car and af-
ter making thorough inspection of
it discovered a spoonbill duck under
meath the seat Of the car. The bird
was in very advanced stage of de-
composition and Mr.. Krost lost no
time in ridding the car of it. He is
wondering who the practical joker
was who would play such a scurvey
trick on him and almost ALLEVIATE the
affections of his little travelling COM
pany.

GOOD MORN!N JUDGE

Some people need lots of room in
which to manipulate car. Such was
the handicap Of Sam Jensen last
Monday evening, who found that the
Kitzenberg store was too close to the
street when he backed away from the
vicinity of the curb pump at the Ka-
Won garage when instructed by
"Spike" to back up and drive closer
to the pump so that he could accom-
modate him. Mr.. Jensen put the car
in reverse and stepped on the gas
with the result that the car bumped
into the Kitzenberg front just hard
enough to damage the millwork of
the front but not hard enough to
smash the glass.
Rube Jorgenson, who was serving
on police duty at that time, came
along on the scene and sensing that
things were not running according to
Hoyle, took Mr.. Jensen and party in
tow with the result that when the
trio faced Justice Wheeler the next
morning, they were assessed fines of
various degrees. Jensen and Martin
Bakken were fined $25 each when
they pleaded guilty to a drunk and
disordely charge and Gust Ernest
was given a $40 fine, lenience being
shown the later for being less noisy
than his companions. Jensen was al
so ordered to pay for the damage
done the store front.
Arnie Wick, the Scandinavian i'm
presario, whose hand organ playing
is said to have charmed several
crowned heads of Europe, and who
was a member Of company showing
at the Farmer-Labor Temple last
Saturday night, struck a few notes
dscordant to the peace and harmony
of the city and had to put up $5
bond for his appearance next Monday
morning. Failing to appear his bond
was forfeited.
Two others faced the judge on
similar charges recently, one A. A.
Powell the other William Hubert,
both drawing fines Of $40 each.
