BEDDING, Cnl., Aug. :i0. A
Sbnsta county owl mid rubbit were
tho piiuso Wednesday evening of
darkness fiilling for fifteen minutes
upon Vina, Willows, Orland, Corn
ing, Tebainn, Ked HI tiff, Cottonwood,
Anderson, KeddiuR, Coram, Keswiek,
Winthrop, Kennett and other towns
in tliis part of the statu tbat are
served by tho Northern California
Power Company. During the samei
period tho smelters nt Coram, Keu
nctt and Winthrop stood still and not
a' wheel was t tiiiiiii.tr in any of the
mines and mills on the copper bolt.
Tho disturbance lasted until the
Nortborn California Power Company
could shift its electrical currents to
another set of wires
The cause was not learned until
the other afternoon, when E A Mace,
patrolling tho power lines between
Palo Ccdro and Winthrop, found a
dead owl with n rabbit in its claws
lying between the power line where
one of the wires had been burned out
The owl with the rabbit in its talons
had flown against the wires the
evening before, making a short cir
cuit that deranged 200 miles of pow
er line and threw a doze ntowns into
eclipse. Every feather on the owl
had been burned off and the rabbit
was cooked brown.
BIG LOSS FROM FOREST
FIRES IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Aug. 30. Since June
it is estimated that fire has destroy
ed .timber to the nmourt of $.",000.
000 in this state. Other parts of tho
northwest have suffered in equal de
gree and llto Forest Firo association
is making another appeal for great
caution in tho wooded districts. Ev
ery thousanad feet of timber burned
means a loss of $3 in wages to the
community. v Timber means pay
chocks to support all other indus
tries. During the dry season no fires
should bo started in wooded dis
tricts unless they are carefully watch
ed. Where fires are found, they
should bo put out at once. Call on
the firo warden for assistancet, if
you need it. In the last ten years
four billion feet of t'unber has been
destroyed by fire. This is a lament-!
ablo waste of one, of tho state :
sreatest natural resources.
