important consideration in regard to
public forests Is their protection from

"In a forest fully organised, with
adequate means of transportation and
communication and a sufficient force
of rangers and guards, the risk from
fire Is small." he said. "In foreign
countries In which forests are so or
ganised, tho rlek is so small that the
forests sre Insured at a moderate
rate."
I'lres Due to Carelessness.
Mr. Craves says that 74 per cent of
tho fires In Isg9 were duo "to the lack
of preventive care on the part of the
users of forests and of the railroads
traversing them."
He says the railroads, realizing that
forest fires aro against their own In
terests, "have shown an admirable
spirit In co-operating; to prevent them."
lie suggests the railroads be required
either to use efficient spark-arresters
or to burn oil.
Four per cent of the fires of 1909
were from Incendiarism and 12 per cent J
from lightning.
"Incendiarism." be said, "can be
stopped, partly through education of
the public, and partly through In
creased watching of tho forests, which
will result In the npprchenslon and
punishment of Incendiaries."

COUPLE INJURED BY AUTO
William Hermes Drives Car Into

Thomas Donohue and his young wife
were run down and painfully Injured
by an automobile driven by William
Hermes, a chauffeur for the Franklin
Auto Cab Company, at Eleventh and
Washington streets, at 9 o'clock last
night. Both were Injured so badly
that It was found necessary to remove
them to tho Good Samaritan Hospital.
Mrs. Donohue is said to be suffering
extremely from an injury to her spine.
Her husband was dragged several feet
along the pavement by the auto and
received a number of painful bruises
about the head and limbs.
The driver of the car quickly brought
the auto to a standstill and placed the
man and woman In the tonneau and
hastened with them to the hospital.
Mrs- Donohue was picked up uncon
scious. Hermes contends that, owing to tho
slippery condition of the pavement, he
was driving slowly at the time of the
accident. Several witnesses who vol
untarily offered their names to the po
lice, offset Hermes statements and de
clare that ho was driving at a mora
than moderate speed and also that the
lamps of the automobile he drove were
not properly lighted.
Tho Donohues were walking under an
umbrella and were struck squarely by
the front of the auto. The couple was

DISCOUNT TO BE DROPPED
Spokane Banks Xo Longer to Charge
1 Per Cent on Canadian Money.
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 30. (Special.)
Beginning January 3 the first busi
ness day of 1911, Spokane banks will no
longer charge a discount of 1 per cent
on Canadian money that has been levied
heretofore. The action was decided upon
by the Spokane Clearing-House.
"The discount was never Imposed to
make a profit for the banks," said W. D.
Vincent, cashier of the old National
Bank, "and has only paid the expense of
handling the currency. There is a Fed
eral law which provides for a penalty
of 10 per cent for paying out this money,
and this has made a great deal of
trouble. They say the Canadian banks
charge no discount for handling Ameri
can money, and do not understand why
we do eo on this side; so we have de
cided to drop the discount."
