Siddall, editor of the American Magazine, guarded the secret from hia friends and made plans, before keeping his rendezvous with death, for the publication he loved and made famous to carry on his Ideals. Siddall died at his Ardsley-on-Hudson home Monday afternoon, of cancer. His most Intimate friends had known for two weeks that the end was near, but the editor bad kept his grim secret locked behind a cheerful, energetic exterior since early April. At the end of a long career In jour nalism and the magazine field, Siddall literally gave bis life for bis maga zine; his days were shortened by his tremendous labors to have everything in order at the American Maeaiiue when he passed. Slddall's ambition was to produce a magazine In which every subscriber would read a "bit of the editor's domi nant makeup." He was author of the essays "Sid Says." An Increase In circulation from 400.000 to 2,000,000 under his edi torial guidance is a testimonial of success. . In April a council of doctors met to discuss the malady that was under mining his health. "I want the truth about this matter," he said. Just as though he was ordering a reporter out on an Important atory. And they told him. He had six months to live providing he gave up all work and rested; relieved himself of editorial burdens and went out doors. With the calmness of an editor working ont the details of an Im portant story, be closeted himself for se.-eral days. He did Jiot tell a liv ing soul of the tryst he held with death. ' The he called his associates to him. He told them that the doctors had told him he would soon be well but that he must have a long rest. Day by day he outlined the coming Issues of the magazine, shifting this piece of responsibility to one understudy ;re than 2filt nilh.B a.tJ then to another.

He bundled these few articles to gether and closed the door of his be loved sanctum behind alone In the knowledge that It would be the last time he would ever visit "the office." Then be went to his summer home st Ardley-on-Hudson. The wait for the end was not long. His body whs Interred at Oberlin, Ohio, where he was born.

HFIRE PREVENTION WORK S STARTED Douglas County Fire Patrol Keeping Damage Down to Minimum NO BIG LOSS SO FAR Five pf the Fourteen Fires Re ported Traceable Directly to Carelessness on the Part of Smokers With an early start In fire pre vention work this season, the Doug las county Fire Patrol a asocial Ion has made unlt-nrtiri hemlvnv thia year In the matter of keeping down me lire damage In the county to Iho minimum. Arconlliig to Harvey Crown, dis trict fire warden for the association, only fourteen fires have been re ported this season. None of these fires have been very serious and no gret financial loss has been In curred up to the present. Five of these fourteen fires have been caused by the carelessness of smokers. The majority of the rest were only minor conflagrations the most beiug mere unlawful burning or siasnings. 1 ne ure I'atrol association em ploys this year a crew of twenty- lour men. including lookouts, rang ers and cruisers. Two lookouts, one at Mt. Scott and one at Silver Butte. are busy all the time watching for smns, and do a great deal if work along preventive lines. Douglas county contains 1.000,000 acres of valuable timber land out side the national forest reserve. This private timber land Is protected by the association, which receives the co-operation and support of the na tional service. The property Is all private and the organization, entirely Independent, all funds for fire fight ing and cruising expenses coming from the members. Most of the membership conies from owners out side the state, and no fund is set atide by the county Itself. The membership includes over 700. Work In the protection of the O. and C. land grant also takes con siderable time, as a great scope of territory is covered. Last year the work proved very valuable In saving the timber lands, over $23,000 being spent for the season. Two hundred and five fires were reported for that season many being very serious and causing con siderable expense. The greatest difficulty In connec tion with the work of the associs-'1 tion Is the lack of co-operation from the people of the county, and par tlcularly the campers and hunlers throughout the dry season. The greater part of the fire loss is traceable directly to the careless ness of people ho should have a real Interest In preserving timbered lands. Smokers are very much In prominence In the list of causes. The burning of slashings without permits also causes a lot of trouble, since every fire whether serious or otherwise Is reported to the office and an Investigation Is always nec essary. According to Warden Ilrown the timber industry in this county far over sbndows any other individual Industry. The county official cruise shows that there arel 5,942.501,000 t"ct of standing timber within the borders of the cuinty. The valuation of a'l the Industries In the county 'is offi'-la'lv set rt $35,000,000 and the taxable tlmebr In the county alone ainonts to $12,143,757, this nmo'int being fur over one-third the total valuation of the county. As an asset to the county the timber reseources of the county far sur pas any othei Industry or business, and the protection of tills property Is of prime importance to every per son llvlrg here. The state laws require that all individual owners of timber Innds Insslst In the protection of the- prop- be kept on all violators. FORMER DRY LEAGUE CHIEF IS INDICTED tnv I'nlteil Press t NEW YORK.

E 'A game that will virtually de cide whether the Roseburg team will take the pennant by winning first place in the Willamette League, will be played here agulnsi Cottage Grove Sunday. The Sunday's contest was scheduled with Junction City, but due to other arrangements the Cot tage Grove aggregation will play In stead. In playing this team the locals are going up against one of the hardest fighting and best organized teams In the league. It now holds second place in the league, having a record of winning seven of eight games played, losing only to the Eugene team, which stands first in the league. In the one game which Hoseburg has played with Cottage Grove the rcore was 3 to 1 In the latter's favor. Turpln, the Cottage Grove pitcher, has never lost a game he has pitched to the locals when nlnvinp ,tn Innmi nntslrie hia nwn cltv. He Is the (!ott.-,.o Grove I Ktronghold and puts up a fast game of baseball. The Hoseburg team realizes Just the position It Is In and each of the members 1b making every effort to line up Sunday In the hardest game ever played here. If the boys win this time they will have another chance to play Cottasc Grove to de cide the tie. This game, if played, will be the last of the season. It will be played on Labor Day and will doubtlessly decide the champion ship. Strenuous practice is being held every night and the whole team turning out In fine shape. The same lineup which has been used in the past few games and which seems to work together In a splendid man ner will be used again Sunday. Pru Itt will occupy the mound with the same In and outrield In support. Indications are that the game will be the most interesting contest of the season and a large crowd of fans are expected. The - team manage ment says that fifty per cent of the good playing depends upon the sup port from the sldo Hues. FLIES PLANE BY (Bv Assorts led Press.) DAYTON. Ohio, July 20.

The chase in which Night Officer Ison fired four shots at the fleeing robber, brought many people residing In the vicinity of the court house, from their beds. The bandit entered the restuarant from the rear at about 1 o'clock. Al Miller, the cook, and Harry McCarty, dishwasher were the only ones Insido at that time. Gerald Meredith, Iho waiter, was standing on Jackson street near the front door. The robber, his face covered with a red bandanna handkerchief, which was tied about his head Just below the eyes, walked up to Miller, the cook and motioned for him to leave. Miller thoueht It was a Joke and laughed at the bandit and told him to "get the H out of here." With that the masked man produced a revolver which he shoved into the cook's ribs, with the result that the latter lost no time In making a break for the front door. McCarty, whe vas engaged In scrubbing the floor l o boltod when fie saw the revolver.. The bandit was careful to refrain rom peaking and accompanied his mo- tlons only wllh audible grunts. This causes the officers to believe that the holdup was the work of local talent nd that it was perpetrated by some Roseburg boy who la familiar with the place and feared that the employes would recognize his voice If he spoke. After clearing the place of the employ es the robber proceeded to empty the till taking $55.50, as near as can be ascertained, and escaped through the back door. In the meantime the employes scat tered out looking for an officer and found Night watchman John Ison at the Umpqua Hotel. Ison started around on Main street to cut off the bandit's escape and as ha reached the corner of the First State and Savings Bank building he saw the young man running north on Main street. Ison called to him to halt and started in chase, but the robber, only quickened his pace. Ison fired at the legs of the fugitive and the bullet struck the baseboards of the Scott plumbing shop. The robber was carrying the money In one hand and his revolver grippnd in the other but he did not return the off'cer's fire. Ison shot again a mom ent later and fired a third shot from the corner In the rear of the Douglas Hotel. By this time be had been con siderably outdistanced by the younger man, who was a good runner, and gave up the chase. He fired again, this time i'-.lo the air, in an effort to attract some one wllh an automobile, but as he could obtain no car, was forced to abandon the chase. Frank Iieatty and Bliss Singleton saw the fleeing bandit cross the Deer ('reek brldce and head for the river, but a search of that district failed to reveal any trace of him. He was a young man wllh blue eyes and was about 5 feet 6 Inches in heiiiht beyond this no description was obtained. In his flight along Main street be dropped some of the small change which he was carrying and various persons today picked up a few coins which were scattered over sev eral hloejts. Officer Ison said that In shooting at the fugitive, he was careful to keep his shots low as he did not desire to kill Ihe young man and did not want.lo lake chances on shooting Into any of the buildings along the way. He thinks that his first shot struck the heel of the young man's shoe, as the bullet was tumbling when It entered the baseboard of the Scott Plumbing Shop. The officers are confident that the hoidup was the work of a local youth and believe that he will event- j ually bo apprehended. CURTAIL WHEAT PRODUCTION (Bv Associated Press.) CHICAGO, July 2U.
