Parks, head of the ARMORY TONIGHT. department of geology at the Oregon San Francisco Boys Will Hold the Boards July 21.—Both Are Good Attractions. The Thaviu Band Operatic company, composed of fifty members, will appear at the Armory tonight, and will doubt less have a large attendance. This is said to be one of the most meritorious musical aggregations on the road, as shown by the following guarantee from a San Francisco theatre to Capt. Law- son: “You are getting an attraction out of the ordinary. We want you to say to your friends and patrons and the music lovers of your city, that you are bringing them the greatest organiza tion of its kind in America. We want you to guarantee your public the finest musical and novelty attraction ever heard in the state of Oregon. We guar antee this to you, and we want you in turn to guarantiee your public. Say to them that if it is not the finest they have ever heard any place, then they are to come to you and get their money back, and we will not take one cent or demand it from you until we fulfill this part of our contract. You cannot say too much regarding the merits of this attraction. What San Francisco boys, well train ed, can do will be shown when the Col umbia Park Club boys present their performance in this city on July 21, un der the auspices of the Woman’s club. They won the plaudits of multitudes in Australia and the islands of the Anti podes. The young fellows who, under the leadership of Mr. Sidney S. Peix- otto, represented the boyhood of San Francisco with such credit while on the 30,000 mile tour giving their perform ance 132 times, are looking forward to their visit to this city with the keenest pleasure. Proud as they were to show the people of other lands what San Francisco boys could do, their visit to the cities and towns of their own coun try has a tremendous import to them, for they Wish all boys everywhere to have the same training that is afforded them in the Columbia Paf-k Boys’ Club and in showing their skill in their var ious activities they only'seek to demon strate what can be done for the boys of their neighboring cities and states. Training in the club includes musical, physical and military drill with a host of allied manual and technical classes. A most important part of the education of these boys consists in their travel ing tours. For seven years they have taken 500-mile summer vacation walks throughout California, paying their ex penses by giving entertainments and they have developed into wonderfully clever vaudeville entertainers. During their stay in Cottage Grove they wish to visit all points of interest in the vi cinity and learn as much about our country and people as is possible dur ing their short stay. STRIVE TO END FOREST FIRES. Posters Sent All Over Oregon by States Forestry Board. “Would you set fire to any man’s house?” queries the Oregon state board of forestry on cloth posters, that are being sent all over the state. “If you saw a house burning would you pass by without doing anything?” “Do you realize that timber is quite as valuable to the owner and much more to the community and to you? He can build a new house, but not a new’forest. “Oregon loses- 200,000,000 feet of timber yearly through fire. Each thousand feet burned is a loss of $2, to the owner. But the community loses $8 in wages. Timber means pay checks to support all industries; but burned timber pays no wages. Timber pays taxes in your county. If it burns other property has to pay the difference. Care with small fires is the best means of preventing large fires. Therefore— “Don’t toss away burning matches or tobacco. “Don’t make a campfire in leaves, rotton, or against logs where you can’t be sure it is out. “Don’t burn your slashings in dry season without permit from a fire war den. “Don’t operate an engine using fuel other than oil without equipping it with a good spark arrester. “Put out any fire you find, if possi ble; if you can’t put it out, notify a fire warden or other public officer. Re member that little fires become big ones if left alone. If you don’t know the fire laws, send for a copy. Help enforce them. This notice is posted for your good and that of the commun ity.” A. B. Wastell, secretary of the state forestry board, is sending the posters into every community. He asks that they be posted in conspicuous places. Large quantities of the posters are be ing sent to state fire wardens who are charged with their distribution. The Oregon state board of forestry consists of Governor Frank W. Benson, B. O. Stevenson, game and forestry warden; H. C. McAllister, the late fish warden; C. S. Bartrum, Roseburg; L. S. Hill, Agricultural college, has joined the Oregon “Good Roads” forces in a man ner which, it is believed, will add great impetus to the work of that enthusias tic and enterprising organization. During the next few months, Pro fessor Parks and a number of his assis tants will be engaged in the work of inspecting and testing the rock forma tion of practically all the important deposits in the Willamette valley with a view of determining which of these formations will mate the best material for improved highways.' The investi gation is to be the most thorough geo logical study that has ever been made in such a line in this state. When the data has been prepared, Professor Parks will issue the results of his work in the form of an official bulletin under the auspices of the O. A. C. The pre liminary bulletin will embrace the re sult found in 12, and perhaps 14 coun ties of the state. They will include the principal de posits in Clackamas, Multnomah, Mar ion, Lane, Linn, Benton, Polk, Yam hill, Washington and Tillamook, and possibly Clatsop and Columbia. A sec ond bulletin will be prepared later with reference to road materials fopnd in eastern Oregon, and still later the en tire state will be. covered. Professor Parks will do his work in conjunction with the general movement now in charge of Judge Lionel R. Webster. “We shall tackle .the Willamette val ley country first,” explained Professor Parks, “for the reason that there seems to be the most urgent need for improvement of highways in that gen eral territory, not only because of its denser population and heavier traffic, but also because of the general condi tion of the roads at the present time. There is no state in the union which has as fine rock suitable for construc tion of the finest type of modern high ways, and it is our purpose not only to report on these deposits but to deter mine which will be the best as to qual ity and accesibility to the roads that need impovement first. Our work will then be broadened to take in the entire state. ” _____ __________ Favors County Division. Joseph Putman in a communication to The Enterprise concerning the divis ion of Grant county, says he resided in Grant when it extended from its pres ent boundary on the north to the state line on the south, and having a width of 100 miles, He says: “Since then Malheur and Harney have been creat ed. Also Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman, Crook and Wheeler counties have been created out of Grant, Umatilla, and Wasco counties. When one class of people attempted to create one of these new counties, there was another lot who would put up the argument that it would make taxes higher, but it has made them less in almost every in stance. I doubt very much if there is a solitary person in.? any of the above named counties today Who would be in favor of being annexed to the original county, and if Clark county was creat ed today I dare say that in three years from now there would not be a person in it that would be in favor of being annexed to Grant county again. When ever any public spirited man attempts to create a new county, he is accused of being an office seeker or of having a selfish motive of some kind. I have sold my interests in Grant county and I am not an office seeker now, never was and hope I never will be, but I sin cerely believe that it would be to the interest of every person in the North ern part of Grant county to create the county of Clark.
