STIPP ANSWERS E ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAY8 HE IS TIRED OF OFFICe. WANTS PLACE GIVEN TO ANOTHER Cement Man Thought to Ha( V rider. ttwod That Investigation of Fight Should Be Mad By Grand Jury. Deputy District Attorney Stlpp, on Thursday, answered the letter of Ainan Moore, preside-", ot the Port land Cement Company, in which Mr. Siipp 'vtfc accused of not keep'ng his promise In regard to the prosecutior. of John and Henry Blchner who a gaged in an altercation with Mr. Moore over a st-ip of land at Oswe go. Mr. Stlpp did not give out a copy of the letter for publication, but it Is underjtwd that 't ws to the point It does not appear tiat Mr. Stipp tried to tva'ie tha duty he was naked to perform, but on the contrary sug gested to Mr Voo-e that the case fhoul.1 ic probed by the grand jury. It is Inferred that Mr. Moore under stood thlb should be t":e plaa of pro cedure when he agreed to defer the nrn-.prntlnn in int. i istlce's court. 'if anyone Joe :or uke the way 1 am doing try woik," said Mr. Stlpp, to a Morning Enterprise teporter, tie can o where he pleases. "I resigned, as Deputy District Attorney sometime ago, and my resignation is sua o ing. I don t care for the office, and if anyone can do any better, i am willing for him to take the place. I am thnmnehlv Independent about It. I am looking after the duties of the office aa well a I care to unaer me circumstances, and If my work Is not pleasing to people they can find some body else. TO BE CAREFUL MH FIRE This Is the open season for hunt ing deer as well as a number of other animals and game birds, and State Forester F. A. Elliott is expecting re ports of forest fires started through the carelesness of hunter. Every year a great many fires are caused by sportsmen leaving their camp fire unextinguished, and thoughtless ly dropping lighted matches, cigars and cigarettes as they travel through the forest in pursuit of game. It will probably be news to many residents ot Oregon to learn that the Forest Fir law, which went Into ef fect February 24, empower the gov ernor to declare a closed season for the shooting of wild birds and ani mals of any kind. The law covering this point is as follows: "Whenever, or wherever, during an open season for the hunting of any kind of game In this state, it shall appear to the governor upon the showing of the State Forester that by reason of extreme drought the use of firearms or fire by hunters is liable to cause forest fires, he may, by proc lamation, suspend the openv season and make It a closed season for the shooting of wild birds and animals of any kind for such time as be may designate, and during the time so designted all provisions of law relat ing to closed seasons for game shall be in force." "It is, of course, not my intention to urge the enforcement of this pro vision unless it becomes absolutely necessary In order to prevent destruc tion of forest property," said Forester Elliott in commenting upon the above extract. "Wnether any action is taken depends entirely upon the be havior of the hunters themselves. However, Just as soon as this office receives reports that fires are being started through the carelessness of hunters, I shall Immediately present the facts to the governor and recom mend that a closed season be pro claimed. The governor is heartily in favor of this plan and has assured me that he stands ready to Issue such proclamation should condition war rant It. This matter, as I see it. Is entirely in the hands of the hunters, for as long as they exercise due pre caution while In the forests I will, of course have no reason for taking ac tion. It would be an excellent plan for every hunter to familiarize him self with the Oregon Forest Fire law. copies of which will be sent upon ap plication to this, office." BIG FLOW OF GAS OBTAINED AT STONE A large flow of gas was obtained Friday night at the Home OH & Gas Company's well at, Stone. There Is a continuous flow of gas from tho bottom of the well, which is 1.400 feet deep. The gas comes through the water, and bailing has been start ed. The men employed at the oil well and the stockholders are greatly encouraged, and the work will be pushed ut a rapid rate. Thl Is the third time that gas has been encountered In this well, but the last "strike" was much stronger than the former two. At the time previous to this when gas was dis covered the casing of the well gave way, and som- time was lost In mak ing repairs. As the repair are made It is believed that oil in paying quan tities will soon be discovered. MOOR SHARPLY IT HOUSE TO START AT ONCE The County Court at a meeting Wednesday appointed Clarence Sim mon superintendent of the work of reconstructing the historic Clackamas Coun'y Court House.

Con siderable local commendation was noticeable In the talks. It Js unques tionably true that the Capital High way Commissioners will not select a route for some time, but will play the West Side against the East Side with the object of raising money through local pride to defray the expenses of constructing goou roads from Portland to Salem on both sides of the Willa mette.
