(Continued on page 6).
Mrs. Myrtle Pease Hatfield, for
many years connected with the Boyi'
aud Girls' Aid Society In Portland
and making frequent visits to Roae-
bui'K, where she was well and favor
ably known, died at her home in For
est Urove Friday evening after an
illness of about three days. SuS'
picious circumstances ill connection
with her dealh has led to an inquest.
The woman'B stomach has been re
moved for an analysis, the result of
which will be made known tomorrow.
Although Coroner Barrett, of
Washington County, refuses to make
any statement, it is understood that
several persons who were with M
Hatfield at one time or another dur
ing the three days previous to her
death will be culled before the jury
Wednesday.
Mrs. Hatfield was married only
about a year ago to Charles Hatfield,
a well-known commercial traveler,
and they have made their home at
Forest lirove since.
The Portland Orvgonlan has the
follow ing about her death:
Tito circumstances surrounding the
death of Mrs. Hatfield are such as
to purlu the best physicians of the
cirv. She had been feeling Indisposed
for seeral days, suffering from what
appeared to be n slight cold and at
limes complained of pains in the back
and sides. Friday noon sho was up
and wok luncheon at the table, lying
down litter in the afternoon.
Shortly before she was discovered
in a dying condition she was talking
with her husband and appeared
bright and cheerful. Mr. Hatfield
had lett the house but n few minutes
when his wife's mother, Mrs. Clinton
i 'ease, who lives in an adjoining
house, entered his residence and
found her daughter on the bed gasp
inn" tor breath.
physicians were immediately sum
moned ami exhausted every known
means to save a life, working over
three hours in an endeavor to restore
respiration, which, although the heart
continued beating, hail ceased shortly
after the woman was found.

SALEM, Or., March 18. It has
been brought to the attention of the
state forester that some unscrupu
lous timber brokers are misrepresent
ing the provisions of the compulsory
patrol law which waa enacted by the
recent legislative assembly and be
comes effective June 2. Owners of
timber claims have been told that
under this law it will be necessary
for them to keep a patrolman on
their claims all Summer at their own
expense, and this haB been urged as
a reason for sacrifice Bales. State
ments of this kind are made purely
for the purpoBe of stimulating the
Bale of timberland8. thus Increasing
the business and incidentally the
commissions of timber brokers. i
The law provides that every tlni
berland owner within the state, not
residing within one and one-half
miles of his property, shall furnish
a sufficient patrol therefor durlne
the dry season, and that in rase he
fails to do so the state forester shall
provide the same at a cost not to
exceed 5 cents per acre per annum, i
Any amount bo paid by the state shall
be a lien upon the land and shall
be collected with the next taxes.
It Ib obvious that the maximum
expense to the owner of f quarter
section of timberlnnd cannot exceed
$8 per year, an amount that should
scare no owner Into disposing of his
timber claim at a sacrifice. I
One of the best ways for timber-
land owners to comply with the law
Is to Join county fire patrol associa
tions that have been organized lnt
most of the timbered counties of the
state. It Is expected that every tim
bered county will have such an or
ganization before the fire season ar
rives. The experience of these asso
clatlons, some of which have been In
existence for four years, proves that
adequate patrol can be secured at a
cost of from 1 to 3 tt cents an acre,
and If all of the tlmberland owners
join, the acreage cost will bo ma
terially decreased. Protection from
fire at a cost of S3 to 14 per quarter-
section should be welcomed by all
tlmlierland owners, and It 1b hoped
that no one will be induced to sell
their holdings through misrepresent!!

SALONIKA, March 111. Only the
strong hand of King Constantino and
his brother prevented terrible retalia
tion against Turkish and Jewish
residents, as the result of the assas
sination of their father, whom the
mass of the Greek populace believe
was slain by Srhinas as the culmina
tion of a Turkish plot. Turks and
Jews are cowering behind barricaded
doors of their homes, expecting an
outbreak of massacre.
It developed today that the un
identified man who, because of his
close proximity to Alex Schlnas, the
assassin, was mistaken for an accom
plice, was literally torn to pieces by
the mob as Schlnas was led away.
The authorities say that Schlnas is
weak minded, while otherB declare
he Is a college graduate. He lived
abroad for several years, and It Is
reported ho once lived 111 America.
He Is believed to he nn nrchlst.

FOREST M LOSSES
FOR 1912 WERE THE
LOWEST IN YEARS
WASHINGTON. D. U March 1,
The Department of Agriculture his
been figuring up the losses by (Ires
on the National forests for the calen
dar year 1(12, and finds that they
were the lowest of recent years. Less
than one acre to every thousand of
timbered lands was burned over, and
the total damage it estimated at $75,
20, or leu than one dollar to every
2000 acres of area.
The good record Is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions In
most localities, and second, the In
creased efficiency of the fire-flghtlna,
organisation. As Congress makes
available the means for extending the
syilems of communication on the Na
tional forests, the equipment of trails,
"Olds, telephones, and lookout sta
t tos is yearly enlarged and the fires,
It'is said, are discovered more quick
ly and fought more rapidly.
An especially good showing waa
made by the foreBt officers last year
In extinguishing fires outside the
National forests before they reacheu
the forest boundaries. Such fires
constituted more than one-sixth of all
fought by the forest rangers and
guards. About nine-tenths were ex
tinguished before they touched the
forests. Of the fires within the for
est boundaries more than 18 per cent
were on lands In private ownership.
Nearly one-fourth of the extra ex
penditures duo to fighting fires that
Is. expenditures outside the time of
the regular forest force was In
curred In fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
nny other agency, followed by rail
roads, campers and Incendiaries, In
the order given. The greatest losses
occurred In Arizona, Arkansas and
California, In which states there was
