Portland. June 4 That the foret fire season of lull approaches with better laws and stronger liatrols than were in tff.-ct at the beginning of laat seswn, but that the laat general rains cannot be counted on lo postpone danger beyond line, is the sutntaiti-e of a ststement irsiied to day by the Western Forestry A Conservation Asclntion sfter a sys tematic canvass of field Conditions tbroiiith its constituent Ore fighting ss Mxlations in Montana, Idaho, Wash, iogton and Oregon. Rainfall wa about normal during May snd April but light in March and February, so the total from New Years to dst is leos than in 1D1U. While M iy rains relieved the fear of another abnor mally early fire season, they also pre vented the buroiiitt of settlers' and log gers' slashings at the safest time. State sod aiociatlons fire ofhVials empbaix that the removal of these flre-trupt now must I under permit with the ex ercise of every care to prevent fire from escaping or lingering to spring up luter. Forest officials of all the State are ar ranging fur stricter enforcement of the fire Isws than in previous year and promise little leniency to offenders.

BOOST FOR NEW BUILDING Superb Location It Given District and Leading Taxpayers Favor Building at Once. At its session Monday night the City Council placed itself squarely on record as favoring a frreater and better St. Helens by unanimously passing ordinance No. Ill vacating a tract 200 ft. by JIX) ft in the southerly portion of Washington Square, the same to be used for school purposes by District No. Two Columbia Coun ty. The question has been under consideration for some time and considerable discussion has been aroused. A large progressive element in this city has long felt the need of better school facilities not only for our present popula tion, but as a means of inducing the more desirable class of home seekers to locate here. The nec essary machinery was set in mo tion shortly after the visit of State Superintendent Alderman last April when he so forcefully pointed out our need and splen did opportunity. The friends of the project look upon the action of the Council as the first step toward the realization of their ideal. Site Unequalled During the past few weeks the projiosed location has been visit ed by several people familarwith -4J . 5 Arr niriMallti imutrd tuattrnfc 511 OMrbrattmt At Bt. prints iflmtJiatj au& ducfifcaij 3Ilij 3rii auil 4tli 1311 school conditions, not only in this I in use, the temporary rental of state but in other parts of the additional quarters, or the erect country as well, and all unite in j ion of a new building.

A Houlton and yet far enough re moved from the street to avoid all the inconveniences of dust and noise. The large area in front of the building can readily be ut ilized for baseball, football and outdoor track purposes. There will be abundant room for all grades to play at the same time . i a - & t ! . : . u AMA iwiinum nii-enci iiiK wimunc u- other as they must on the present . as . a a grounds. Immediately to the ngnt or the building site is a beautiful grove, which Mr. H. B, Nicholas, of Portland offers to donate to the district as soon as the building is completed. In the rear of the grove is found a natural amphitheater, which at a small expense may be arranged for such outdoor exercises and entertainments as are now be coming so popular in every up to date school. Just beyond the amphitheater Is a shallow lake. Here may be grown such aquatic specimens as a botany class may need, to Bay nothing of its being a unique feature of a school cam pus So favorable has nature been to this whole tract that a small expenditure of money or a popular clearing up bee will re sult in making it one of the beau to spots of St Helens. Time Opportune That the district can ill afford to slight the magnanomous offer of Mr. Nicholas and of the coun cil, seems to be the growing sen timent of the city. Our present building has been outgrown. The school board has been oblig ed to engage a fifth teacher for next year thus necessitating an enlargement of the structure now and building are taken into con sideration, it would be the height of folly to temporize even though the people were certain of ever ous terms. Built on Unit Plan Those most interested in the building project feel certain that when put up at public sale the old building will realize far more than it originally cost the dist rict. Furthermore it is proposed to build the structure on the unit plan. The architect will submit designs of a building so arranged as to permit additions being built thereto, without destroying the beauty and symetry of the whole. The most extravagant promoter does not advocate the expendi ture of more than from $15,000 to $20,000. Teis sum secured by the sale of twenty year bonds would no) materially increase the taxes, even at the present valua tion of the property within the district A special meeting for the pur pose of voting the necessary bonds will be called for the eve ning of June 30th.

A spe cial order of the day, was a Memorial Service, beautiful flowers decorated the altar In memory of those who have en tered the "Great Grange" in obedience to the call of the "Supreme Master."

Road work 1 progressing in tbi dist rict very rapidly, road supervisor An liker Is making things hum now that the rainy season Is over. Decoration day wa duly observed by the residents of Goble and adjacent dist ricts. For several years the different fraternal orders of this place have made a point of seeing that the Neer City Cemetery is properly taken rare of so far aa it is possible, and take turns in conducting the ceremonies of the day This year the Grange took the lead, and the committee appointed by Worthy Master, M. Llnke. discharged their duties in a very sa'isfactory manner. Mr. John Lindsay a member of the O. A. R. was orator of the day, Mr. Tom Hunter gave a reading, also some very nsemt Information regarding memorial COMMERCIAL CLUBS MEET St. HaUns aad Hon! tow Chsb Members Frateraiaw Mempers of the St Helens and Houl ton Commercial Clubs fraternized at a joint meeting of the two clubs, on Wed nesday evening of this wesk, at the City Hall in St Helens.

R. in an efiort to secure a bet ter rate, both passenger and freight, be tween Houlton and Portland. Mr. Cbas Wbith. of Houlton and Mr. H. F. Mc- Cormick, of St. Helens were named as a committee to wait upon the official of that company in the matter. A plan was outlined whereby the clubs hope to put the establishing of the en gine work on a footing which will wind up the preliminary work and make tba construction of the plant an assured fact. Mr. Howard, the engineer who has the patents on the macelnes to be tnanufact- vred, will be in St- Helena for a few days to meet in person the people who are expected to furnish the necessary capital.
