The committee, composed of I. S.

Bradley and Mrs. Henry Sengstacken
lelt' that the $156 or $200 they had
on hand could be put to a better use
than being allowed to remain idle
until a full-fledged public library
could be secured and suggested the
idea to the school board. The plan
Is to invest this amount in a refer
ence library, such as an encyclopedia
which will be of especial benefit to
the scholars for reference or supple
mentary work. ' The high school
is. to furnish quarters for it and also
to furnish a librarian.
Steps will be taken later to add
to this library and It is hopea that In
the not distant future,
books can be obtained to establish
a public library with down town
quarters.
At yesterday's meeting of the
board, arrangements were made to
have an expert sent here from Port
land to regulate the clock system
that was Installed In the new high
school. The thermostat system
which has been working poorly, was
fixed up this week.

new cure for smokers invented by
Canon R. H. Bell, rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal church.
When Canon Bell catches a young

smoKing cigarettes he doesn't lecture
him. Instead he offers to furnish
him with a pipe and tobacco provid
ed the youth will promise to smoke It
in the open in his own home in the
presence of his mother.
"It Isn't the tobacco Itself that is
so harmful as the habit you form of
sneaking around and of inhaling that
cigarette smoke," says the rector to
the boy.
Canon Bell's scheme Is working
out admirably. Ho says when the
boys are allowed to smoke a pipe in
peace they soon lose desire for it
and give it up altogether.
Four boys, all foreigners, were pa

court several months ago. The judge

FINDS IBEX IN OREGON.
May Create Game Preserve to Pre
vent Their Slaughter.
Sportsmen 'throughout the North
west will glvo W. R. Parker of Baker
City, Ore., every support in his ef
forts to secure state or federal pro
tection for a herd of ibex on Mount
Eagha in Oregon. Parker advocates
the creation of a preservo on tho
mountain so that tho only known
band of Ibex on the continent may
be saved from slaughter. He has
hunted big game in Eastern Oregon
for years, and possesses wide knowl
edge of tho trails and canyons In
the mountains, and believes that
slnco the haunt of the herd is known
to others the animals ought to be
protected to prevent extinction.
When he llrst announced the pres
ence of tho band In tho mountains
the chief objects sought by the or
ganization, formed under the name
of the Pacific Northwest Forest Pro
tection and Conservation Associa
tion, In Spokane last January, are
the formation and perfection of fire
fighting associations throughout the
western states, In which state, gov
ernment and timber owners shall
join In hiring patrol and labor; the
selection of representative areas for
conservative logging and reforesta
tion experiments, and the collection
and dissemination of trustworthy in
formation upon forestry and forest
legislation. In reality, to make it a
clearing house for all forest fire and
conservation associations of the five
states, also to cooperate closely with
the United States Forest Service.
Other objects set forth by the
speakers at the meeting are as fol
lows: "The successful preservation
of the forest from Are, the framing
of laws for cutting timber and dis
posing of refuse in a reasonable,
practical way, the reforestration of
such cut over lands as are not desir
able for farm lands, and to provide
for special taxation therefor; the
preservation of mountain streams
for irrigation and all of the other
things contemplated by the word
""Conservation,' and also to raise the
money to carry out the necessary ex
periments so as to reduce the
theory to a sound business basis, for
without all these elements the assor
elation cannot hope to succeed.".-
Particular stress will be laid upon
the necessity of more adequate pro
tection of forest resources, from fire.
The forest fire associations of Wash
ington and Idaho spent more than
$100,000 during the season of 1909,
and it is expected to bring the tim
ber-owners of other states Into line.
The association also expects more
public and legislative cooperation
