UMPQUA FIRE LOSS SMALL Principal Damajte to Forest Repro duction. Rajs Supervisor. Although J fires ara burning In tha forests of Douglas County. al or seven of which are In the I'mpqua National Forest. S. C. Rartrum.

Supervisor Bart rum says in his report: "The fire situation seems to have confined Itself to about six or seven fires, the others bavins been controlled or extinguished. For the laat three days quite a strong wind has prevailed, causing the fire to spread very rapidly, thus necessitating Increasing the num ber of men. "Up to the present the fire has dons very little damage, except to reproduc tion, and that only In a few places. The existing fires are now running in a country principally devoid of heavy green timber, and ara burning almost entirely In deadmgs, old burns and brush. -Another difficulty that w have had to encounter la the fact that several of these fires are In remote regions, and very difficult to reach with men and supplies. In some rasea trails had to ba swamped out for five or six miles before It was possible to get a horse through. This, of course, takes time. "Every forest officer has been ex erting all that Is In him to fight these fires. This office haa been open night and day since Friday, and I want to commend the two clerks. Miss King and Miss Zlegler. for their untiring ef forts in assisting me In this work and putting tn double time. Wa have also had some difficulty in securing packs and horses to get supplies for the men to the fires on such short notice. "The situation tonight looks mora encouraging than It haa for the last t hours. There are probably JO flrea. some of which are quite extensive, burning In this countv on land outside the National forest. F. A. Elliott. State Forester, was In tha city Saturday, and is looking after these latter fire. "I sent a man Saturday to Investi gate tha fire reported by the Gardner brothers at the head of Myrtle Creek and within lti or 1 miles of the Na tional forest. Judjre Wonacott. of this city, is ready to help In this fire, pend ing the report from the officer that I sent there. He, too, hesitates to act till Gardner's report is authenticated."

GIRL'S LOVE FOR BEATTIE FLAGGING Virginian Accused of Murder ing Wife Now Talks of Com mitting Suicide. STATE IS BUSY ON CASE Beulah Bin ford, "Woman In Case," Is Rather Pleased Over Notoriety She Is Receiving She Will "Look Out" for Herself. RICHMOND. Va- Aug. I. (Special.) With the tate weaving a coll of evi dence to be presented in court in an attempt to prove that he slew his pretty young wife because he was in love with another woman, Henry Clay Beattle, Jr.. the rich youne; banker un der arrest here, has lost that sanguine poise so manifest when be was first taken into custody. He now talks of committing suicide if he is convicted of murder, and the Jailers are keeping close watch on him to see that he does not end his life while awaiting trlaL They have taken from him the guitar, lest he throttle himself with the strings upon which he has twanged away the dreary hours In his cell. Not the least of young Beattle's con cern Is the fact that Beulah Blnford. "the woman in the case," has evinced a determination to "look out" for her self. "Be True to Me," He Writes. "Be true to me," wrote Beattie In a note delivered to Mis Blnford In her cell. Communication between the two has'now been cut off. however, and the state's attorneys view with satisfaction the languishing of the Blnford girl's affection for the dismayed banker. Strange persons have been escorted to the state's attorney's offices and Detective Scherer wears smiles. He tKa. - t v. - r4al witnesses will be put on the stand to testify that they saw Beattie ana nis win suumiug u the road beside their auto, near the spot where Mrs. Beattle was killed. Beattle says a stranger they encoun tered on the highway shot Mrs. Beattle as she sat beside him in their machine. Mrs. R. V. Owen, mother of the slain wife, has written to the police from Newport News saying that her daugh ter's fateful auto ride with her hus band was delayed half an hour because the baby could not be put to sleep. Beattle Insisted, she said, that he did not want to take the baby along be cause he wished to talk to his wife. The state consider this information of the greatest importance In Its case against Beattle. Defense Is Warned. The state's attorneys have made it plain to the defense that any attempt to make a Harry Thaw plea for Beattle will be vigorously fought. As Beattle's spirits droop those of Beulah Blnford seem exhilarated by the notoriety she Is receiving in connection with the case. Wayward since she was 1J years old. by her own admissions, she seems to have the mind and ways of a child, spending her days In Jail playing at "Jackstraws" on the floor of her cell. Miss Blnford Is undeniably pretty. Her head Is crowned with a wealth of golden hair: her eyes are a pure blue and her face and features have a girl ish charm upon which the vicissitudes of her tempestuous life are just be ginning to take their toll. Since her Incarceration she has re ceived countless letter offering every thing from matrimony to large salaries in vaudeville from Impressionable men of all ages, but none has come forward with the $1000 ball necesary to secure her release from Jail. Endearing Terms Tsed. Her diary, now In the hands of the officers, relates to her affair with Beat tie. She refers to him on its pages In extravagant terms of endearment, "My Darling Henry" and "My Darling Baby" being her favorites. The diary pages reveal that she contemplated establish ing herself In an apartment, where, "Henry, dear, you can visit me without any one knowing anything about It." She talks freely or her life. She ran away from school in Alexandria and began her wayward career when but a child. She blames her mother for not having been more strict with her. "I have tried to 'be good." says she, "but once a girl goes wrong there is no chance of her being good again in this part of the country. I admit I knew Tight from wrong, but I didn't think of the future. I'm thinking of It now, all right, and I'm pretty blue." Miss Blnford's general demeanor rather belies this statement. She is pleased at the attention she is attract ing and her concern for Beattle lags. SURRENDER PACT FAILS Turks Do Not Accept MallsMiri De mands Refugees Kept. CETTINJE. Montenegro, Aug.
