AILY VOL I. NO. 89 CORVALLIS, BENTON COUNH; OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1909 PRICE FIVE CENTS D CAMPERS MUST E HEAVY FINES LIABLE TO BE IM POSED FOR NEGLECT CLOSE WATCH IS BEING KEPT Timber Owners and Public Officials are Exercising the Greatest Dil igence to Prevent Forest Fires and . Campers are Warned. Campers going to the moun tains for fishing or . hunting ex cursions will have I to bear in .mind this year that building a -camp fire without properly clear ing the ground near of all com bustible material, and without totally extinguishing the fire J when leaving the camp, may be punished by a fine of from $25 to $500, or the offenders may be . imprisoned and fined. They must also remember that a care ful watch is being kept this year by a host of fire wardens and enterprising resident citizens of the forest. In some districts the name of every man and woman entering the - forests is written in records,; an effort is - made to have this record show the location of every campfire he or she builds, and should a for est fire start in that region, it will be possible to trace its orig ;in to the individual, or, at least, probable group who set or per mitted the fire to get under way. The 1907 law for protection f forests in the state has proved a "very good measure, wherever public sentiment was sufficiently strong to enforce it. All com munities having forests were thought the surest support of any protective law, because their local wealth and means of liveli hood depend largely upon the timber. But it is found that the forest residents are often the most frequent violators, as they have lived among the trees so long that they . have grown ne gligent in the use-of fire. But officers charged with protective duties report that the pleasure seeker calls for the greatest vigilance. Camp fires left un quenched in the midst of heavy forests, where the fisherman usually pitches his tent and pre- EXERGS CARE LUNCH MENU At Macy'y Confectionery Nabisco Wafers and coffee or cocoa - 10c - Sandwiches and coffee or cocoa - 15c Coffee - - - - - 5c Cocoa - - - - - - 5c - Ham Sandwich - - - 10c Sardine Sandwich (in tomato sauce) - - 10c Sardine Sandwich (in olive oil) - - 10c - Smoked Tongue Sandwich - - 10c Smoked Salmon Sandwich - - 10c Cream Brick Cheese Sandwich - - 10c Swiss Cheese Sandwich - - 10c Limburger Cheese Sandwich - - 10c ' Imported Cervilat Sandwich - - 10c . , t - -- - . . .

With all of the private timber owners watching with greatest diligence against fires, and the small army of public officials active in the same cause, timber men state that splendid results are assured. This has been a favorable season for the forests, but a portion of the saving that will be credited to the year in standing timber will due to the more intelligent and ' active vigilance against carelessness.

Invasion of the Japanese Patrons of the moving picture theaters had a feast of good things in' that line at the two pretty little playhouses last night, the Palace offering the time honored play, "Ten Nights in a Barroom" and "Won in the Des ert ' ' The first named film is, very good and clear and tells the old story m a satisiactory manner which was well received by the large audiences who witnessed the performance last night. The last film is of the melodramatic order and takes the beholder to the deserts of Arabia where the action of the story takes place. The Star opened up for a two nights' engagement and has to offer one of the most daring con ceptions ever placed before the American public in the way of motion pictures. This is the film entitled' 'The Japanese Invasion, which is supposed to be the nr vasion of a large Japanese army, which lands at or near Santa Bar- bara, Cal., taking the American soldiers there unawares, and in the fight which follows the little brown men seem to be getting thje better of the argument and our troops are put to flight. Not for long, however, for reinforce ments are hurried to the front and then the story is altogether different. The contrast between the armies of the two countries ls.yery apparent.

Though it was then given out that the Washington authorities were quietly seeking to locate her in order to bring her back to the asylum no effort seems to have been made in this direction and a special from-Vic-toria, B. C, says that she is now in the hands of the Provincial Police at Nanaimo, having been found, horribly emaciated and heavy with opium in a China mean's shack : at Departure Bay. She is held for vagrancy and wil probably go "to a rescuehdmer ' In Seattle, during Julyr 1907, her brother shot Joshua Crefiield a Holy Roller priest, whom he charged with ruining the girL lister, meeting ner avenging brother at the Union Depot, shot him dead, allegedly being inspir et tVioron wr flroffioM's naif a , . , . oue csKtpcu puuioumcuL uii uw ground of temporary insanityga23t of relatives. and has since fallen lower and ower,v consorting wholly with the Chinese of late, and living only to satisfy her craving for the poppy.
