Watch This Page for Advertisements of Good Things to Eat FOREST FIRE SITUATION IS MUCH BETTER Rain Aids In Extinguishing Flames in Oregon and Washington Idaho Is Still Suffcrlnq on Pine Creek Much Damage Reported as Result PORTLAND, Or., July 23. He ports from the firo-swept districts of the Pncific northwest early today show thnt tho forest fire situation k&B improved generally. In Idaho the Pine Creek fire con tinues to rage with .unabated fury. The fire has doubled back and has crossed the east and west forks of Pine creek. A light wind has aided tho flames in their advance into the timber. A hundred men, direct by forestry fficials, are fighting the fire. Ac cording to reports from the Elk City district, rains have fallen and prac tically all tho smaller fires have been extinguished. The fire in the white pine belt, in the vicinity of Bertha Hill, has been surrounded and is now controlled. Other fires in tho Cleanvater dis trict have subsided. A large fire is reported to be burn ing in the Grouse Creek, Wash., dis trict, 50 miles north of Spokane. Ac cording to dispatches from Spokane, several sections of timber land have been burned over, doing heavy dam age.. The fires in tho Gray's Harbor dis trict have subsided materially on ac count of the rains, which drenched the moss. The danger is not over and it is predicted that with clear weather the smouldering fires will hreak out anew. In Oregon rain has relieved the situation to a degree. Many of the smaller fires in the Coast mountains were quenched or reduced to incon sequcntal conflagrations. The big fire on the North Santiam river, in Linn county, is reported to be dying out, although hot coals in every portion of the burned area of three square miles need only a slight wind to cause them to jump into a destructive blaze again. SIGHTING THE GOLDEN GATE A ship is homeward bound and as it nenrs the homeland all eyes are straining for tho first glimpse of land. The ship is bound for San Francisco and nil at once a voice cries out, "I saw it!" and hundreds Btrnin their eyes and ask "Where?" Down in tho dining sann it was a can of "Golden Gate coffee," and tho party who but a moment before shouted, "I saw it!" was only jok inir. Many turn away angry to think that such a small jest could bt put at such an anxious moment. In a littlo while the Golden Gute is sighted and all hearts are light. Tho same condition will reign in your family if you use Golden Gate brand of coffee. It is the best. Allen & Reagan sell it. SLIGHT SLUMP IN ' NEW YORK, July 23.

RAILROAD HIS BEAUTIFUL EARS CAPTURED FAIRJEIRESS Lovelorn Youth Gives More of His Erstwhile Sweetheart's Letters to the Press Says He Has No Thought of Blackmail, But Loves NEW YOKK, July 23. Saying that on the second day of their ac quaintance, Miss Helen Woodruff Smith, the Stamford, Conn., heiress, spoke of his beautiful, ears, and that he fell for it; declaring that ho still loved her and was willing to marry her, Russell Griswold, to whom tho girl yesterday referred as a "nasty little turncoat." today gave more of her letters to tho newspapera. "0 course I love her," Griswold explained, "and always will. She was my first love. She was married when she first made love to me. I was only 18 years of age when we first mot. On the second day of our acquaintance she spoke of my beau tiful ears, mouth and nose, and I fell for it. "When Helen was divorced she feared these letters would fall into someone's hands and she proposed a love bonfire. She and I were to be guests, each to bun, the other's let ters. I refused, because I wanted tho letters to console me when she was away. "Then she jilted me for another. Now she accuses me of blackmail. There never was a money considera tion between us. I love her for her self." Most of the letters today bcyin, "Dear Russell, my forget-me-not," "Dear Little Russie," and "Russell, My Dear Boy." "Sent you liebesgruss in the form of a bouquet, but it wasn't half enough," said one letter. "I have been wondering why I have not heard from you and have not seen you. I thought you were busy, not dreaming you were sick. Poor little kid." "How are you, and how are your affections?" says another. "Is the coil working f I'm on this end, if vou'll send me a wireless. A million kisses from your own 'Bnmhilde'." READ THE RECEIPTS Have you read tho cooking receipts in the Medford Ladies' Cook Book? Did you notice that they called for a certain kind of flour? In order to have perfect success in cooking one should follow the let ter of the receipt and use Blue Rib bon flour. Medford Indies handed in the receipts that went into the best cook book over offered for sale in this city. Tho ladies certainly know that their receipts were per fect. Why? Because they had tried them time and again and proven them to be so. They have used Blue Ribbon flour for a long, long time and have always found it sntisfac handle the Blue Ribbon brand und guarantee every sack. CHIEF DELAY III One of the chief delays in build ing a residence has been the poor condition of inside finishing lumber when delivered by tho lumber yards, und planing mills, which necessitated much hand work by tho carpentors hi properly preparing same for tho paintors. This is not only very ex pensive to the contractor or builder, but moans u great delay in tho con struction. The Big Pines Lumber company have eliminated all this by installing a sauding machine, which has triple drums and 42-iuch capacity. To witness the operation of this machine is sufficient to causo one to realize that a long-felt want has been filled. In order to be assured of rapid con struction of your rosidenco and of obtaining best results at the mini mum cost see thnt your finish lum CONSTRUCTION OF SIDINGS ber is put through this machine.

Uutlmatoly I think the west, the homo of insurgency, will prove the savior of tho country from corporation Interests and poli ticians thoy ocntrol." BRINGING VALLEY T (Ashland Tidings.) C. A. Malboeuf, publicity manager of the Commercial club, was in tho city early this week, talking over tho situation with Secretary Frobach with a view of introducing concerted action throughout the valley in re gard to publicity work. Tho time is past for allowing petty jealousies lo enter into the general publicity cam paign. There may bo a difference of opinion in respect to minor mutters, subject to local conditions, but as to the mam proposition the towns of the entire valley should pull together, and there is really no reason why such a result may not quickly bo re alized. If Ashland. Medford and Grants Pass are ultimately to bo linked by trolley, tho sooner they pool their main issues the better. They wil set the pace and tho smaller communities will inevitably follow. Mr. Malboeuf reports quite a re adjustment of features regarding tin publicity propaganda now being Diished in Medford. Ho devotes himself nhnost exclusively to the ex ploitation phase, while a competent assistant attends to the cloricnl work. Contributions are also sys tematically adjusted, as an instnnoo of this feature the four leading banks of the town respectively con tribute $500, $400, $300 and $200 per annum for publicity purposes.
