FOREST FIRE SEASON HERE. M. 0. MALONEY Alitor and Publisher DAN E. MALONEY Nuws Bdlt0r FOR HE'S A COUNTRY EDITOR THE tcrrlblo tragedy Of tho Cana dian forest lire as told In tho Associated Press dispatches to Tho Times, calls attontlou again to tho good fortuno and the good con trol of the Coos Ba' forests. Much credit for this happy condition Is duo to A. E. Adolsperger of tho Coos county flro patrol association und his able corps of assistants. Tho putrol this season Is oven moro effi cient and stricter Ulan last season. Tho saiuo la true of tho entire Pacific northwest. All tho timber owners' associa tions aro making their patrols moro ofllclent than oVor before. Hi Idaho forces have been out since May 1 extending trails and tolophono b'd toms and somo associations already havo a man lo ovory 10,000 acres. Tho Washington association has its mon looking nftor tho cleaning up of dangerous slashings and rights of way and has purchased much new eQulpmont including automobiles for transporting mon and BUpplIes. Tho Montana and Oregon associa tions havo organized on a much strongor footing aB a result of last year's lesson. Tho forest sorvlco has also dovotod much offort during tho winter to perfecting its patrol and flrc-flghtlng arrangements and will work In close operation with tho states and prlvato owners. Forest olllclals of all tho states aro arranging for stricter enforce ment of tho flro laws than In pre vious years nnd promises llttlo leni ency to offenders. Tho Washington und Oregon lnws wero nuido more stringent by tho Inst legislation and appropriations for executing them In Washington nnd $30,000 In Ore gon. Both states aro greatly In creasing tholr warden force. Tho precautions required In burning slashings and operating engines nro much more rigid. Tho Wcstorn Forestry nnd Con Borvntton association Is making spe cial effort to securo public coopera tion with nil theso ngoncles by dis tributing Immonso quantities of poB tors, stlckors nnd folders calling at tention to tho lnws, tho steps neces sary to prevont Arcs, and tho injury I T IS indeed a funny business, this being editor of n country dally w th ono hnnd whllo sotting typo with tho other or chasing locals with both feet whllo reaching for ads with both hands. Last Saturday In discussing tho water franchlso I wroto "thoro aro many sensible and sub tantinl reasons" why tho franchise should bo denied, but when it nppoar bd in tho pnpor tho word "sonslblo" had been transformed Into "de Blrablo" nnd that was nolthor sonslblo or desirable. But that was only ono. Thoro wero otliora. Mostly because In writing editorial, report ing, gottlng nds, and somotimes taking proof as woll as trying to read It, Bomothlng Is likely to got mixed up. Which leads back to tho fact that it is a funny business. As my friend J. E. Junkln, odltor of Ster ling, KnnaaB Bullotln, says thoro's no other in tho world like it. Law yers, doctors, morchants, mechanics, nnd unskilled laborers all havo tholr holes, but thjro Ib no placo for tho editor to lay his head. When ho is in troublo ho has no hole. Aftor tho 'smoko of hattlo has cleared away,' aftor tho election Is over, tho doctor goes back to his pills and no ono Bcoma to bothor him again; tho lawyer slips Into court, nnd what ho snld is forgotten; tho other classes and conditions of mon fndo Into tho background nnd becomo part of tho landscnpo. But tho editor Btlcks up llko a soro too In a high wind. Whnt ho said, nnd what they thought ho Bald, nnd what ho should havo said and never Bald, and what ho might havo said, but didn't, assume nn historic importance, and mon lay awako nights hating his Intemnl arrangements. "If ho stnndB by tho ticket ho Ib nccusod of bossing tho town; If ho takes to tho brush ho Is called a coward who Ib playing both Bides; if ho clearly indicates thnt ho doosn't caro n tinkor'a obstruction whothor school keeps or not, both sides clnlm ho Is secretly helping tho other eldo." "It is a funny business," quoth tho redheaded raven of tho salt licks, ."a funny biiBlnesH. J tun now thoy nro holding an Indignation meeting In I WJjnj jncrunscj $15,000 n year Sterling nnd pnaslng tho hat to Btart a now pnpor. Ana I, wno ior iwoniy long ycnrH In Sterling havo boon for ovory good movement, who hnvo sot up miles of ndvlco asking tho people to voto bonds and booBt tho town, who hnvo stood for good roads, good Bchools and rnllwnys and public Improvements of every kind, nm called nn old knocker. And nil why? Heaven known, I don't. Bccnuso I got croaaways nnd on tho norvcH of n lot of good follows who wero doing somotlilng or other that 1 didn't caro about much ono wny or nnother. But still I nm a knocker, nnd what Is moro, I'm a doublo dealer and nn Intrlguor, nnd ovory other fighting word In tho dictionary. And why? I'll toll you why bccnuso ,' run a nowspnpor. "If I was tho gentlemanly chambermnld In a llvory stable If I wns tho urbano proprietor of tho Palaco barber shop, if I took in nnd 'done' Inw nnd nbRtrnct and Insurance; it I pounded pills and sold cotton batting, ran n laundry or bent carpet, I could llvo a slmplo and pencoful life with only debts and trnnsgroKBlons to load mo with woo. But running a nowspnper, I am soaked with public sorrow. It'a all part of tho business. I intiHt tnko my medlclno; I put my hand to tho lover of tho old Wash ington hand press In tho unthinking dnys of my youth, und now that 1 nm old I enn't look bnck." "It's a funny IiuhIiiosh," sighed tho Rico County Beor, ns ho looked Into tho purplo past and peered Into n hazy future "In times of grent public Btrcsfl ovor tho election of a member of tho school bonrd or tho choosing by n Hoverolgn pooplo of a cnndldnto for tho council, tho odltor, whoso rent business Is to furnish a rollablo medium for tho purveyor of prunes and farm linplomeutu, drugs, pnlntR and splrnl corsets, to advortiso his wnros, tho odltor becomes a storm center. Nny, moro, ho Is n door mat, a kicking post, n red rng and a casus bolll, all wrapped In ono noat pnekngo and sold at n dollar n year. Ho has no right, tltlo or Intoreat to his own opinion, his soul Is mortgaged nnd ho can't bronthn without n motor nor think without having his motives sot upon by tho coroner and Biibjoctlng his nftor-thought to cnnsa-oxnnilnntlon. "In Riich times as theso somo man whom ho hns lived with as neighbor nnd frlond for thirty yenra takes tho Btreot llko a mad dog yelping nnd kloodltng In rngo. Ho cnrrles tho pnpor foldod to show tho Infamous Item; ho points tho llugor of Hcorn at it nnd yells llko tho circus cnlllopo at tho wrongs and Injustices of his mlsornhlo lot. Ho digs up somo old throe lino ltom printed In tho big corn year of '89 and holds It up, 'Though lost to Bight to memory dear' nnd you'd think thnt fellow nnd I hnd boon bit tor burning ouomlos for n long hateful generation, Instend of old army friends who drank from tho same chapter drinking cup and put on tho snmo Mothor Hubbard to oxompllfy tho work of tho grand lodge. "Whnt though I walk my feet off, wonr my fingers out, yell my lungs looso for Sterling, doos It mnko any difference when my old army friend trkes tho Btroet? Not n hit. ills grlovnnco breeds othors. 8moldorlng oinbcrs of other difficulties nro uncovered; tho dead past oxhumes Itself, nnd I walk down tho Btreot a human pariah. I am tho social and moral leper. I nm tho pink whiskered disturber of tho public pence I nm tho fountain of all the troubles, nil tho misfortunes, nil tho tribulation to which the town has been holr In thirty years. "I nm tho hoodoo; I nm tho Jonah; I am tho man wko struck Billy Patterson, tho follow who rocks tho boat and tho original Individual who Incurrod tho dolit to tho devil, Tor which thoro Is no pitch hot. And why? Just becniiHo I am ongngod In a funny business," "From which I take It," this deponent rosponded, "you hnvo a low opin ion of tho nnwBpaper business." "Not In tho least," tho porsonlllcntlon of tho dawn upon tho misty mountain tops replied, "not at nil. It's tho greatest business In tho vorld. It Is full of Inrgo opportunities and deep red overdraft; rife with glory and prono to sorrow as sparks fly upward. But nevertheless and how Boiuoover, notwithstanding nnd all tho snmo, I am right horo now to toll you U'b n funny business." And yet thoro Is another side.
