County Official Paper NOW IN EFFECT The opinion has been held by a number of people that the "cow ordinance" is not now in effect that the council had to pass it before it became a law. This is a mistake as the ordin ance was in full force and effect as soon as the Mayor made the proclamation that will be found j the people will co-operate with in another part of this paper. At, the State Forester in the admin the recent election the voters juration of the new forestry law passed the ordinance by a largre enacted by the last Lgeislature, majority. The council does not j which will be ready for distribu have to approve the action ofon in pamphlet form in the the voters to make such action I noar future I A sewer district should be 1 formed of that part of town where there is immediate need of a sewer, and work be done so i that the outlaying parts of town jean be attached in the future The money that it will be neces sary to spend in laying pipes that are larger than is needed for the district will be spent for the citv at larire and should be paid by the city. The pro perty owners of each district should nav for the cost of the smallest sewer used, each dis trict being sewered and assessed as the need arises. This, however, is all in the fu ture. Perhaps nothing more in this line is needed now. But at any rate the matter should be put to a vote before anything very large in this line is attempted. THE NEW FORESTRY LAW. Forest fires, one of the great est sources of destruction to the most valuable resources of the state, will soon be restricted and their terrors largely reduced if effective not in a city in Ore gon. The people are sometimes forced to pass upon the actions One of the most important pro visions of the law is that making a closed season for burning from of the council (though the ne- june j to October 1, duriug which cessity has never arisen here) period outdotir fires of all kinds and this plan in such things has j are prohibited except under most ed with taking a doer during the closed season, and Whereas, upon being brought to court the said Arthur Van Dolah entered a plea of guilty and was fined $."h).(H). which amount was paid by him, and Whereas, it appears that on the 1st day of December, TJIO, a deer wounded and being run by dogs became entangled in a wire fence on the place owned by the family of the said Arthur Van Dolah. and Governor West is to be com-1 mended and th inked for the course he has tak.-n in this mut ter. There was no intent to break the laws of the state and the action of the boys in taking the deer was to be commended and not censored. There is plenty, of real violations of the game laws to keep the officers busy, 1 and they do not need to pick up j such actions as that in this case, ; where at the worst the violation was only technical.

Despite any opinion you may have of the law the fact remains that it is a law, and it will be enforced. It would, per- stringent regulations and the probability of heavy penalties. In this connection the State Forester urges upon every one the necessity of doing all possible burning before the closed season haps, be better if it applied only : begins and thus save the trouble to the down town part of the city, land risk of doing it by permission say that portion east of Oak St.. durjng the season of greatest but as it takes in the whole of dar,ger when fire spreads so the city it can only be enforced easily and rapidly. The State Forester desires the assistance and co-operation of as it stands. THIS DEBT BURDENED CITY To the large number of pessi mists that have seen only ruina tion ahead at the rate the City of St. Helens has been squandering money for such worthless things as a water system, a city hall, fire fighting apparatus, etc., the message of Mr. Miller will un doubtedly be an eye-opener. This city is not swamped with debts but is most decidedly on a sound financial basis. The debt for the water system is not in reality a liability as we have the system and it will pay its own way. Before there will be any necessity for redeeming the bonds there will be enough water users here to pay for them. Of city warrants outstanding the redemption of which has not been provided for, there is be tween eight and nine thousand dollars. Is not that an awful menace to a city the size of this one, and owning real property worth more than that amount? Thi3 debt is mostly warrants is sued in paying for the city hall, and the hall is now a paying pro position. It alone with the lot that it stands on is easily worth the total amount of the warrant from the fence and removed it to their home where it was kept and cared for for two weeks, and until it died from the effects of its wounds, and ' Whereas, it would appear that there was no intent to vio laie the game laws of the State of Oregon on the part of the said Arthur Van Dolah, Now therefor, in view of the foregoing premises and by virtue of the authority in me vested as governor of the State of Oregon, I, Oswald West, governor, do hereby remit the said fine of I $50.00 imposed on the said Ar-1 thur Van Dolah, and direct that i the said $50.00 so collected be re-' paid by the Clerk of the said court to the said Arthur Van Dolah.

VAN DOLAHS PARDONED M The readers of the Mist will remember the case wherein Ar thur and Noble Van Dolah were arrested and fined some time ago. The editor saw the injus tice of the fine and protested in the paper, as the game war dens that arrested the boys had no right to do so. The wardens were very wrathy at the course taken by the editor, and Mr. Flagg circulated a petition to the governor asking that the boys be pardoned and their fines remit ted. It seems he did not have much sympathy with the course taken by the officers of the law, An Up-to-Date Spring Line of Gents' FURNISHINGS o hi Pi i ,i r It . , indebtedness.
