The voters of South Mount Tabor, Ar leta and the Woodstock districts voted to prohibit stock from running at large, and the law Bearing on the subject becomes effective next Tuesday, August 14. It will then be up to the people who voted for the enforcement of this law to enforce it; that Is what they are now thinking about! President Kneeland, of the Mount Scott Improvement Association, says that a general committee has been appointed to assist in the enforcement of the law. It will not be an easy matter. The law re quires that the owners of stock found run ning at large shall 'tirst be noticed before complaints are filed. If the owners then fail to keep up their stock, they must be notified a second time, but in no case can a complaint be filed unless it can be shown that they know their stock Is run ning at large. It is Incumbent upon tne prosecution, under the stock law, to show that the owners were cognizant of the fact that their cows or horses were roam ing in the common, otherwise the prosecu tion will not etlck. The fines are $10 and $20 for first and second offense, respect ively. In case the owner cannot be found the stock may be Impounded. Notices will then have to be given by posting in three conspicuous places. At the end of the ten days, if the owner does not appear, the stock Impounded may he sold at public auction to pay costs. All fines imposed and collected are to be paid into the com mon school fund. It will be seen that the law Is hedged in with restrictions that will make It diffi cult to enforce in a district like South Mount Ta"bor, Wqodstock and Arleta. There is no pound in which to place the cows. There 1 no officer as yet to make arrests or Impound stock. The nearest court is at Mount Tabor. A few years ago Mount Tabor voted to prohibit stock roaming at large, and an lnclosure was procured. One night P. P. Dabney, H. W. Hodges and some other dignified citizens spent several hours in. 'rounding up the cows. They got to bed at 2 o'clock in the morning, but when daylight came they found the pound was empty. The owners had come in the early hours and taken their stock. ONLY LOOKED SERIOUS FIRE NEAR THE WATERFROXT DOES LITTLE DAMAGE. Several Shacks Burn, but Total Loss Does Not Exceed $600 Pos sibly Work of Firebugs. Believing that a disastrous fire threat ened shipping in the river and one of the large sawmills at the foot of Harrison street, shipmasters began to move their vessels out Into the stream last night, when flames broke out in two empty shacks In close proximity. The plan was changed when it was seen that the fire was of no consequence. Fire broke out in a small shed at the foot of Harrison street, about 9 o'clock, and quickly spread to a vacant house ad joining the property of Wakefield, Fries & Company. The dry. Inflammable material burned fiercely and made a blaze that could be seen from all parts of the city. It was feared that the fire would spread to other buildings In the vicinity and eventually reach the big lumber mill. A second alarm was sounded, and the fire boat was called out to protect river-front property. After the arrival of the de partment the blaze was quickly gotten under control. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been due to a lighted cigarette stump being thrown on the floor by hobos who have been sleeping in the shed. A woman living In an adjoining house stated that she had observed several suspicious-looking people around the place for the past several days, and had re ported the affair to the police, who had arested one tramp there. She had also found matches and tobacco in the houses. S. G. Scanlon and Charles Davis, em ployes at the roundhouse, state that they had seen well-dressed men about the shack several times in the early morn ing. There was nothing In the houses but a few old mattresses of straw and some rubbish. The loss is about J600. WILL ADVERTISE OREGON Chamber of Commerce Asked for In formation About State. Three letters were received by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday request, tng information about Portland and Ore gon. The information is to be used to advertise this section of the country. One was from Percy F. Megargel, of the American Automobile League, with head quarters in New York City. Mr. Megargel is the man who made the run from New York to the Pacific Coast and return last Summer by -way of Portland, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, in a mountain au tomobile. He is to issue a book on his travels, containing an Itinerary of the entire Journey, together with a descrip tion of the country and the various cities which he visited. The book, according to Mr. Megargel's letter, will also con tain many historical facts. He requests the secretary to send him data about the -early settlers of Oregon, facts about the rivers, matter concern ing the mountains and Portland in par ticular, and the other cities as well. Mr. Mosessohn, the assistant secretary. Is preparing to send the New York auto mobile traveler enough reading matter and statistics to till several books. Another communication was from the Williamson-Haffner Engraving Company, of Denver. A picture of the City of Port land is desired. This picture will be made Into a three-color plate and used for ad vertising purposes by the company. The Times-Mirror Company, of Los An geles, requests printed matter concerning Portland and the state for its Informa tion Bureau, which da conducted in con nection with the paper. This bureau furnishes hundreds of people daily with pamphlets and matter about the Pacific Coast States, and this section is to re ceive the advantage of this fact absolutely free of charge. Gaston a Paradise for Bear Hunters Henry Scott Kill. Tot Big Brain and at l.nst Account Was Chas ing a Third Out of Hla Garden. WB. GLAFKE, a Portland commls- sion merchant, has decided that the country around Gaston must be a paradise for bear-hunters. A few days ago Henry Scott, of that place, killed a bear weighing 285 pounds. After every body in the neighborhood had admired It sufficiently, Mr. Scott shipped it to Mr. Glafke. The weather conditions were not right, however, for when the carcass reached Portland it was unfit for exhibi tion. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Glafke received a telephone mesiuge from the Washing ton County hunter that he had just killed another bear and would ship it in on the morning train. While Mr. Glafke was giving him instructions about shipping it, Mr. Scott broke inr "Hold on; there goes another bear through my front yard." He dropped the telephone receiver and that was the last heard from him. Mr. Glafke will have several wagons at the depot this morning, as a bear drive ap pears to be on at Gaston. WHERE T0 DINE.

WOODS ARE ABLAZE Portland Overcast by Smoke From Forest Fires. STATE LAW IS UNHEEDED Heavy Penalties Provided,' but Fires Are Set Regardless of Statute, . and Then Carelessly Al lowed to Spread. Thick smoke hung like a veil over Portland and the Willamette Valley yes terday, evidence of carelessness of those who live in or frequent the forests. The smoke, which Is a regular but unwelcome Summer visitor, comes from the forest fires blazing in different parts of Oregon and the Northwest. There are no wide spread conflagrations, but the fires may terminate seriously. Some valuable standing timber has already been 03 stroyed. It his been learned that the big blaze near Mill City, which ate Us way into the Northern Division of the Cascade forest reserve, has been gotten under control. This fire gained considerable headway and obtained a foothold in standing timber, but after a hard fight it was checked. Forest Inspector Bron son is now in the vicinity of Fish Lake, where another blaze has been reported. The woods are burning on both sides of the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria, but as no report has been had in Portland regarding progress of the flames. It is not thought they are seri ous. Notwithstanding the rigid laws enacted by the Oregon Legislature, it appears to be impossible to prevent forest fires. The law provides for the imposition of heavy penalties for the persons who start fires. One of the most important provisions of the act providing for the protection of the forest and timber of the State of Oregon is ,the taking out of permits dur ing the closed season, which is from June 1 to October 1. In part it reads: it shall be the duty of the County Clerk of each county to issue written or printed permit during the permit season td any and all persons named in the application to set out fires. Said application shall state the gen eral descriptions of the land upon which it la desired to set out the fires and the extent of the slashing and burning to be burned. Said permit shall fix the time for the setting out of the fires on any three consecutive days therein named and not less than ten days from the date of such permit; and that no time when the wind Is blowing to such an extent as to cause danger ot same getting beyond the control -of the person setting out the said fire, without sufficient help present to control the same, and that same shall be watched by the person setting out the fire until the same Is out. Upon granting said permit, the Clerk shall at once notiry at the earliest possible moment some qualified and acting fire ranger in the vicinity of said pro posed burning and upon good cause may re voke or postpone said permit upon notice to said applicant. The penalty provided for any person or persons who set out fires without per mits in slashings, down or fallen timber, is a fine of not. less than 1100 or more than J1000, or imprisonment In the County Jail for not less than one month or more than one year. The penalty for any person who builds a fire and leaves it without extinguishing it is a fine not exceeding 100 or imprisonment for not more than one month, or both. This is directed particularly at campers. Persons who negligently set fire on land where loss results are liable to a maximum fine and Imprisonment of J1000 and one year, respectively. Camp ers who leave any fire that spreads and does damage and persons who use other than incombustible wadding in firearms are liable to a fine of $500. Persons who maliciously set out fires are liable to a fine of not less than (000 or to imprison ment in the Penitentiary for not less than six months or more than two years. BAND CONCERTS NEAR END Two More Weeks Will End Musical Season in City Parks. The band concert at Chapman Square last night was a decided success. Con ductor De Caprlo had arranged a pro gramme that was at once classical and popular. The crowd was large and ap preciative, and, although the ringing of the fire bell Just before 9 o'clock drew many away, they all returned and the concert was not interrupted. Excerpts from "Woodland" was roundly encored, as were also several other num bers. The "Hunting Scene," played by request, was by far the most popular and called forth a great deal of applause. Signor De Caprio will conduct the con cert at the City Park Sunday afternoon. A special programme, some numbers of which have never before been played to a Portland audience, will be included. Conductor and Manager Brown an nounces that the concerts will come to a close in two weeks more. Weak. Weary, Watery Eyes Welcome Murine Eye Remedy. It soothes. It cures.
