and cruisers which belong to the United
States, there is only one of the third class
in those waters, yet there is an urgent call
for war vessels to protect the interests
of the United States. There Is yet a
"pull" in the Navy which Secretary
Moody has been unable to overcome, 'a he
small vessels have only a small number of
marines, not enough to more than assert
the authority of the United States if they
were luided, and not sufficient to make a
warlike uemonstratlon. It Is the big ships
that carry the marines in considerable
force. The inadequacy of the naval force

often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder reme

during the night. The mild and the ex
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you should

Five Stacks Destroyed uy a- Flro
Near Colfax.
COLFAX, "Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Fire last night destroyed five stacks of
barley on the farm of "W. F. Hickman,
eight miles south of here, and only heroic
work by the harvest hands saved a largo
field. Tho fire Is believed to be of in
cendiary origin. "While the men were
fighting It fire appeared in another por
tion of tho field, and was extinguished
with difficulty. The loss Is partly cov
ered by Insurance. George Camp, a
farmer living near Pampa, wired H. W.
Goff. a local Insurance agent, today:
"Half my crop is burned. Come and pay
Insurance." Mr. Goff carried insurance
on 600 acres of Mr. Camp's grain. Par

Fires Started by Hnnters.
SALEM, Aug. 12. (Special.) Henry
Helmkee, of this city, has Just returned
from the Ereltenbush Hot Springs In this
county. He reports several fires In the
forests above the Breltenbush Springs, but
says the blazes thus far have been ex
tinguished by the forest rangers of that
district before any great amount of dam
age had resulted. Mr. Helmkee reports
further that hunters In the mountains
are this year more careless in the start
ing of fires and -the result has been a
larger number of fires than usual. He
says that the hunters become lost in the
mountains and as a means of finding
their way light torches and In tho reck
less handling of tho samo ilrcs are fre
quently started. Owing to tho fact that
Oregon's full quota of forest rangers
has not this year been appointed and as
signed to duty, the task of guarding
against forest fires falls heavily on those
doing duty, especially In this district
whero the rangers In many places are
stationed more than 2 miles apart. Mr.
Helmkco reports that tho forest rangers

arrest. A despatch from GUroy, In Santa
Clara County, recently received, said that
Landis had visited his wlfo at that place
and had then left for this city, followed
by Mrs. Landis, who had presumably
come here to Join him. As soon as thl3
news arrived both Landis and alg wife
were sought for by the detectives art the
latter was soon located In a house on Russ
street, whero she remained a couple of
days. During this time both she and the

companied by a man, who was shadowed
to Gllroy. where It was discovered that he
was her brother. No trace of Land's was
found, and the police believe that If he
was In Gllroy he returned from there
