FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
8TREET WORK SCORED.
Oregon City. July 29, 1911.
Editor i Morning Enterprise!
The writer wkahee to voice the sen
timent of a number of citizena re
garding the unsightly manner In
which aome atreeta have been treat
ed. Reference la made to the manner
of breaking grade on aome of the new
atreeta. Attention la particularly call
ed to Sixth atreet, between Bluff and
Center, and Waahlngton atreet be
tween Elgth and Ninth. Did any
one, anywhere, ever aee a street,
where it became necessary to break
grade, treated ao abruptly and.un
alghtly aa these?
The cement aldewalka are conspic
uously noticeable, coming aa they do
to an abrupt point and breaking as
abruptly down on the other aide.
To the approaching pedestrian
these points loom up not .unlike the
dome of Mount Hood, but not quite
so picturesque, however.
Were a man constructing a private
walk where It waa necessary to break
grade, he would undoubtedly be coa
aldered a man with utter lack of
aesthetic temperament If he brought
hla walk to an abrupt break Instead
of rounding It off In pleasing contour.
It coata plenty of good hard cash to
Improve the atreeta of Oregon City,
and since It la no greater expenae to
make them pleasing and attractive aa
well aa more easily traveled, let those
who have Buffered poor work Insist
on It being rectified and more care
will perhapa be taken In tbe future to
have the plans right In the first place.
No property owner ahould be com
pelled to pay for auch so-called lm
provementa aa these mentioned.

INJURY BY FIRE TG1 -TIMBER
IS SLIGHT
HOT WEATHER BRINGS HAZARD
OUS CONDITIONS PATROL
IS ORGANIZED.
PORTLAND, July 28. (Special).
Six arrests and convictions In Waah
lngton, aeveral more In the ' other
Northweatern atatea, and auch deci
sive organised work on all fires by
the aeveral public and private agen
cies that little loss has been sus
tained, mark the openln of the 19i
forest fire season. Advicea received
today by the Western Forestry and
Conservation Association from nearly
all Btatea, government and private
protective agenclea are that the re
cent hot weather haa brought danger
ous conditions almoat' everywhere,
and that amall fires are already num
erous, but nearly all have been ex
tinguished or confined to slashlnga
and old burns. There has been con
siderable Iobs of settlers' Improve
ments and logging equipment care
lessly left surrounded by Inflammable
material, but comparatively little In
Jury to aUvndlng timber.
Reversing last year's experience,
fires serous enough to be alarming
began first In Oregon, where In Linn
and Clackamaa counties about $70,
0X worth of logging equipment and
the property of aeveral settlers have
been destroyed by slashing flrea
which were, however, soon brought
under control by a large force em
ployed by the Forest Service and by
private companies. Many other flrea
throughout the atate which cauaed
exaggerated reporta also proved to
be chiefly onvopen lands. - Organisa
tion of tbe state'a patrol system under
the new law la practically complete,
there being state fire wardens In 22
counties. Timber owners connected
with th Oregon Forest Fire Associa
tion have abont 250 patrolmen. In
response to petitions from property
owners, some of'the counties are also
hiring patrolmen. The state has ap
plied to the Secretary of Agriculture
for $10,000 under the Weeks law,
which authorizes the expenditure of
this sum by the government In co
operation with ' any state which will
add a like amount.
Summarized, the reporta show that
the recent hot weather has brought
hazardous conditions more suddenly
than la generally realized' and that
from now on no fire la too Insignifi
cant to be dangerous. . Settlers, camp
ers and loggera are urged by the
association to tak every possible pre
caution and to lose no time In notify
ing the proper authorltiea of any
flrea they are unable to extinguish
quickly without aid. Timber ownera
are advised to perfect their systems
of patrol and report so aa to permit
getting labor and auppllea to flrea
without delay.
