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-

growing timber, and when the
blaze is once under way, man is
almost powerless before it.
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.
A FAVORITE RESORT
New Town At Slab Creek Beach Plat

The multitude of beach going people
throughout the valley will all be inter

The natural advantages of Slab

were going there- twenty years ago and
it has steadily maintained its position
as being the most popular summer re
sort on the Tillamook coast.

' The natural beauty of the place, the
fairly good roads, which will be father

the fact that Slab Creek is not an ex

that Slab Creek beach will greatly in

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

Authorities . at Departure Bay In
Horribly Emaciated Condition.
some time ago, wnen it was
reported that Ester Mitchell had
escaped from the Western Wash'
ington Hospital for the Insane at
Fort Steilacoom, it was supposed
that she had sought shelter with
relatives near Waldport, in Lin
coln county. 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

charged with ruining the girL

and has since fallen lower and

the Chinese of late, and living

Whether this report is true or
not is not certain as it is impos
sible to communicate at once
with her relatives over on tha
coast to find out if she is still .
