Assistant Attorney James E.
Smith states that the use of motion
tilings have been abandoned as dan
tions of the present-day traffickers
in white slaves. These theatres are
: frequented by "cadets, " young men
of nice address and appearance, ei:v
ployed to slrike up an acquaintance
with the prospective victims. "It
j ftppears that the ol methods vt
serving drugged drinks and such"
I things have been abandone as dau
j gerous and unnecessary," says Mr.
Smith. "The cadets simply take the
ignorant young girls to gay restau
j rants and dance halls, take them
about town in automobiles, and in
other ways dazzle them with the
'possibilities'
of life away from

Lookouts of the Douglas Fire Pa
trol today reported two big fires In
the vicinity of Glendale. The fireB
are burning over a considerable area
of land in the Reuben mountain dls
tict and considerable timber la en
dangered. A large force of men
have been dispatched to the scene
and from latest reports seem to
have the situation well In hand. The
fire is In a heavily timbered district
and should it break away would un
doubtedly do a great deal of dam
age. The system of lookouts which
has been arranged by the patrol,
however caught the blaze before it
had spread over a very large space
and it is believed that "it can be con
fined. The Mt. Scott lookout, which has
a range of vision over the entire
county east of the highest points
of the coast range, this mornlni
located a smoke in the vicinity eff
Myrtle, Creek and reported a fire
there to the patrol offlre in this city.
It was found upon investigation, how
ever, that it was burning slashings
that was causing tho heavy smoke
clouds and a competent force was
left t0 see that it did not spread Into
the surrounding timber.
These are the first fires of any
"npspouonee this year, but it is fear
ed that in case the present hot
weather continues for any length of
time that they will become more
numerous. Shortly after the open
ing of the hunting season many small
fires were reported but were quick
ly extinguished.
