OREGON CITY COURIERI FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1907. 3 KICK AGAINST1 FORESTRY LAW Only One Warden Appointed For Clackamas County. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE County Jxdge Grant B. Dimick Denosnces New System As Dangerous People Dissatisfied. Farmers of Clackamas County are having great difficulty in procuring authority to. burn their slashings and the passage of the new forestry law by the state legislature has caused a great deal of trouble. The farmers during the last two years became ao customed to the law that was In force, but there were many complaints lodg' ed against it, and the forestry law was substituted. County Judge Grant B. Dimick denounces the new . law as dangerous, and says It only puts a premium on dishonesty, as many peo ple will set fire to their slashings at night, when none can see them, then Insist that the brash caught fire ac cidentally. By request of the farmers he communicated with the State Board of Forestry, and the secretary Edmund P. Sheldon, advises him in the following words: "Permits to burn are issued by fire wardens appointed by the Board, of which I am secretary. Clackamas County has but few wardens, in fact, I believe only one, and we will be glad to appoint wardens upon the re quest of property owners or the Coun ty Court. Of course, you understand that the state has no funds to pay these wardens and they must look for their compensation to such property owners or parties Interested in keep ing down the fires, or some one might be appointed who would be willing to serve without pay and exercise due care in issuing said permits." The secretary points out that there are instances, where no permit is nec cessary, and Section 5 of the law, says: "During the period between June 1 and October 1, which is hereby des ignated the close season, it shall be unlawful for any person or persons to set fire or cause to be set fire, any slashing, or chopping, wood land or brush land, either his or their own or the property of another, without written or printed permission from a state fire warden and compliance with the terms thereof.- This restriction shall not apply to the burning of log piles, stumps or brush heaps, in small quantities at a safe distance from other inflammable material and under adequate precautions and under per sonal control, and in accordance with regulations adopted by said Board; but If any such burning without per mission shall result in the escape of fire and injury to the property of ntirthpr thin shall hp hfld nrlmn. facie evidence that such burning was not safe and was a violation of this sec tion. Violation' of these provisions shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25, nor more than $500, or by imprisonment of toot less than 10 days nor more than three months." RATHBONE SISTERS PICNIC.

At noon a basket dinner was served, after which music and games and conversation were the features of the day. During the afternoon one of the principal features was a bail game given by the women, and their work was ad- imreu uy mv uieu. rive 111111115a weie played, the score standing 5 to4. Mrs. Gevurtz, of Portland, ( was the um pire, and the coachers were many. Supper was also served before the picnicers returned on the 8 o'clock car for their homes. METHODIST CAMP CLOSES.

Eagle Creek Farmer. John Howlett, a farmer of Eagle Creek, but formerly of this place, where he lived for a number of years, and whose family are still residing here, died in Portland Saturday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. D. Powell, with cancer of the stomach. Deceased was 58 years of age, and was born in Jennings County, Indiana, April 2, 1819.

The funeral took place Monday from the home of his daughter, and the remains were interred in the fam ily plot in the Eagle Creek cemetery. WomenWho Do A Bright Literary Star of the Pacific Coast Is Mrs. Alice Prcs cott Smith, Who Lives In San Francisco. :: :: :: :: :: :; It has been predicted that twenty five years hence the Pacific coast of the United States will be In all respects of more Importance than the Atlantic. Well, it looks that way. Even along the line of literature the number of gifted writers who bail from California Is remarkable. Mrs. Alice Prescott Smith Is one of these. Her latest nov el, "Montllvet," proves her to possess fascinating power as a delineator of historic fiction. "Montllvet" goes away back, 200 years ago, when It seemed an almost even toes up whether French, Indians or English should permanently A Happy Man. Is Amos F. King, of Port Byron, N.

Another of her strik ing novels Is "The Legatee." Literary Women's Earnings. With the fortune whose foundation was laid by "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cab bage - Patch" Alice Hegan-Rlce estab lished a bank In Louisville. Kate Douglas Wlggln and Harriet Prescott Spofford used some of the money their witch pens drew to them to build love ly country homes In Maine. Although Edith Wharton was well to do before she took up novel writing, yet many of the dollars that came to her from ber weird "House of Mirth" and other stories have gone to the beautifying of her summer home on Laurel lake, Len ox, Mass. It Is notable because of Its artistic furnlshments. In England Ma rie Corelll has put some of ber earn ings into a luxurious country home hidden away In the woods, while Mrs. Humphry Ward's place In Hertford shire Is really like an old baronial es tate In Its proportions. Two Ohio Fisher Girls. Proving once more that a woman of grit and perseverance can do almost anything she undertakes, two girls of Conneaut, O., have for some years earned a living as lake fishermen. Their homes ere on the border of Lake Erie, and their names are Kate Mat thews and Bertha Mlggs. Miss Mat thews is large and of splendid phys ical strength and courage. Both have no end of courage, for that matter, but Miss Mlggs Is a slender girl, not 0 strong as ber business partner. Miss Matthews. Both the girls' fathers were lake sea men. Miss Mlggs' father was killed In a collision on Lake Erie. It was after bis death that the two girls made their venture as professional fisher men. They got a small sloop, took with them John Huelsman, an old man and uncle of Miss Matthews, and boldly sailed out to make a living for them selves and their families catching fish. Their commercial headquarters are at Huron. Both girls were fairly good navigators to begin, and soon they learned the management of boat and nets so well that they were quite safe to go out alone, leaving the uncle ashore to mend nets and transact busi ness. They named their sloop the Hope. They have done so well as fishermen that they now own the Hope and each has her home paid for, something which seems to have been out of the power of either girl's father to achieve. They also have each considerable mon ey in bank. Thrilling escapes they have sometimes had. Once in a high wind a boom knocked Miss Mlggs over board. Though both girls are strong swimmers, the water was so rough that Miss Mlggs would have drowned If Miss Matthews had not gone over board after ber. . Then both came near being drowned, but managed to make the boat again. And once they were fired on by a Canadian revenue cut ter when they were fishing. A High Salaried Woman Cook. Really, ladles, there Is no occupation that pays better than cooking. To see a picture of Mrs. Rosa Lewis, chef of the Cavendish hotel, London, one would think her a handsome young society woman. She Is refined and ladylike looking, and, as a matter of fact, she Is both refined and ladylike. She earns $15,000 a year as head cook, and so famous Is her reputation that she Is sent for all over England to prepare dinners for great occasions. HABCIA WILLIS CAMPBELL. Kelso. Will Stevens of the First National Bank of Portland, and Mrs. Stevens, visited the Sindall and Jarl families Saturday and Sunday. Haying is over here and the saw mills are running full crews again. W. P. Roberts of Dover was In Kel so recently with a load of fine ripe blackberries. Mrs. Victor Erickson has returned to her home at Colton. Mark Pagh, who had the misfor tune to crush his finger In the mill, has resumed hl post as sawyer again. Rich Redskins Oss.ge Indians Are the Wealthiest Faople Per Capita In the World. Squnws Who Are Heiresses. Running Deer .nd His Russian Bride. J J J J THERID has long been an Idea In the land that the only good In dian Is a dead Indian, but when a man has a million dol lars or two In his possession he is apt to be considered of some account whether his skin is white, red, yellow, brown or black. The red men of Amer ica have lost the most of the land over r which they once roamed and which as tribes they claimed to own. Generally speaking they never owned these lands as Individuals, and the white man have gradually dispossessed them on the ground that such title as the red men could assert could not be maintained In the face of the need of the civilized world for their territory. Sometimes the lands of the Indian have been taken after duly ratified treaties of sale and sometimes they .have been taken with little or no ceremony, but seldom has a tribe of aborigines re ceived for its lands anything like their value according to the white man's real estate market Nevertheless some of the western Indians are among the richest people In America. : They own large funds held in trust for them by the government, accruing from sale of lands, and the lands which they have retained have vastly Increased In value on account of the proximity of the cities and towns of the paleface or on ac cbuut of their wealth in products which are comparatively useless to the red man In his native state, but are greatly desired by white people. For Instance, the discovery of oil and natural gas on lands belonging to the Osage Indians has made them a very wealthy people, some say the richest per capita In the whole world. Chief Push-me-ta-ha of the Osages Is called the richest Indian I . w I AN OSAQB BQTJaW. In America, and his wealth Is estimated at $2,000,000, while that of his entire family Is put at $10,000,000 Since the wealth of some of the red skins of today has been noised abroad the phrase "fortune hunting In the west" has taken on a new meaning. It may now signify marrying a rich squaw. An Instance of this is the case of Tobias Nicholas, who disap peared from Philadelphia at the close of the civil war, but returned recently, much to the surprise of his relatives, who thought him dead. He married the daughter of a rich Oklahoma In dian and thus got a start -In the rail road construction business. Sometimes the case as to sex" is re versed and a white woman marries an Indian brave who has money and lands. Several years ago Nellie Lutakl, an American girl of Russian extrac tion, became the bride of Running Deer, one of the richest and most aris tocratic of all the Osages in Oklaho ma. Nellie's father was a tenant of Running Deer, and the latter loaned Lutski money so that he might send his wife and daughter on a visit to Russia. In gratitude for this favor Miss Nellie on her return aided Run ning Deer in his campaign for mem bership in the tribal council. Then the two fell in love, and there was a great wedding. Often an Osage belle brings her husband a dowry of from $15,000 to $25,000, and natural ly girls of this kind are popular even among white young men who live In their vicinity. But the old Osage war riors and the wise women of the tribe ire averse to the white men who come wooing the daughters of the nation, preferring to have them marry young men of their own race and thus pre serve Its Identity. Every member of the tribe, buck or squaw or papoose, Is supposed to be worth as much as $10,000, and among the Osnges are In dians with fine estates, comfortable and even elegant homes, giving evi dence of education and taste, while, on the other band, some who are real ly rich still live In tepees, perhaps al lowing their hired men to occupy the modern homes they have erec'od. Farmers Sell 6,480 Pounds of Wool. A. Thomas, the Beaver Creek wool and grain buyer, sold last week to San Francisco parties 6,480 pounds of wool, one of the largest wool ship ments of recent years In this vicinity. Mr. Thomas bought most of the wool around Shubef" and Cams paying the farmers 20 cents a pound. Miss Kate Wilson, of Parkplace, who will teach the seventh grade in the Lebanon public schools next Fall, ha? gone to the mountains for a month's stay.

Many people will wait for hours for their doctor, as they should, but once they have the scrap of paper in their hand which may spell life or death, they fail to realize the importance of the next step. For nearly twenty years we have been filling prescriptions here carefully and concientious ly for doctors from all over this state, and in fact from almost every state in the union. No doctor here or elsewhere can truthrully say to his patient that he can get better service or better drugs than we sup ply if he were to take his prescription out of the state to be filled. Every honest doctor will admit that we are as fully and completely equipped for prescription work 89 the stores in the . largest cities. Remember this: No matter what doc tor writes the prescription, or what name may be on the blank, it is your pre screption to be taken where choose, and if you bring it to us you may rest assured that it will be filled cor rectrectly and at a price as low, and in many cases lower than you could get it elsewhere.
