FAIR SCOPE IS ENLARGED
FLANS ARE MADE FOR BIGGEST
EVENT SINCE INCEPTION.
People of Southwestern Washington
Promised Finest Exhibit Ther
Have Ever Had.
CHEHAXJS, Wash., Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) The ninth annual Southwest
"Washington fair, which is to be held
between Chehalis and Centralia Au
gust 27 to September 1, promises to be
the largest and best ever held here.
The management has already been as
sured of entries from some of the most
noted breeders in .the Northwest. The
poultry department promises to be up
to the usual standard.
Monday is to be arrangement and en
try day. Tuesday is to be educational
day and Superintendent Canterbury, of
the children s department, is working
hard for a successful day. "All of this
day will be given to the educational
department and there will be no horse
races. Wednesday will be known as
Portland day for Vancouver and all
towns south of Chehalis on the South
Bend line.
There will be races every day except
Tuesday.
A few years ago the pioneers and old
settlers organized, with William West,
deceased, as president. I. W. Shultz, of
Knab, was vice-president, and P. Sum
mersett, of Chehalis. secretary. No
meeting was held last year, but Mr.
Schultz has called a meeting of the or
ganization for Wednesday of fair week,
at the fair grounds.
Thursday will be known as Gover
nor's day. Friday will be known as
Centralia-Chehalis day. Saturday will
be known as automobile day and a
monster automobile parade will be
one of the features.

STAGE TO AID RED GROSS
THEATERS TO DONATE DAY'S RE
CEIPTS TO ORGANIZATION.
Movement Will Be ' Nation-Wide and
All Actors Will Contribute
Their Services.
What will undoubtedly be the most
gigantic undertaking ever attempted
in the way of theatrical benefits . is
now being planned by the war council
of the American Red .Cross, of which
rienry P. Davison is chairman.
A National Red Cross Theatrical day
will be designated some time in the
Fall probably In October, when the
theatrical season will be in full swing,
on this day it is planned to stage a
huge Nation-wide theatrical benefit in
practically every theater in the entire
country.
Special performances will be run.
The entire receipts of the various the
aters will be donated to the Red Cross
war relief fund. All of the actors
will contrbute their salaries for the
day. And the public at laj-ge probably
will have still "another opportunity to
evidence their loyal . support of the
great humane task of the Red Cross,
by paying special prices for tickets.
The theatrical profession is living
up to Its reputation . and , the move
ment is already well under way with
thi able direction of A. L. Erlanger,
who has been appointed National
chairman -for- the -Theater day by Mr.
Davison. . More than 250 of the most
able theatrical managers throughout
the United States have volunteered to
turn over their entire receipts on this
day to the Red Cross fund and Mr.
Erlanger is enlisting the active sup
port of these men in enlarging the
scope of the' plan and in carrying it
through to a successful conclusion.
In New York a committee has been
appointed, composed of many of the
greatest leaders in the theatrical
world.
Outside of New York other com
mittees are being formed, composed
of theatrical leaders in their respective
territories. Calvin Heilig, of Portland,
and T. T. Hood, of Seattle, are among
the appointees.
Lord Stamfordham. private secretary
to King George of England, is an old
soldier, having fought in the Zulu War
of 1878-78.'.
IF there is any one thing beside "the
city money vaults that the City of
Portland guards Jealously,' it is the
water supply.
Few people who turn on the tap in
the kitchen and draw out a cup of cold,
crisp, pure'Waer, realize what a job
it is to keep foes, natural and other
wise, from, molesting any part of the
vast 220 square miles of timber, moun
tains and. wilderness which form the
base or watershed which conserves and
delivers the water, to the city, year in
and year out.
The open season for utmost protec
tion is on. Government and city rangers
now are worming their ways over the
rocky trails through the timber, look
ing out for intruders. The intruders
most sought are forest fires, hunters,
fishermen and campers.
Watershed Is 103 Square Miles.
The source "of the water supply is
Bull Run take, a crystal-clear lake far
up in the mountains between Portland
and Mount Hood. The source of Bui,
Run Lak-e is a watershed of 102 square
miles, all forest covered and fern and
moss carpeted and netted with small
mountain streams which drain the
melting snow waters down through the
natural moss and ..fern filters to ' the
lake.
The 102 square miles of watershed
is surrounded by 118 square miles of
timber and wilderness which is not a
part of the watershed but is a part
of the protection. "In this vast area of
220 square miles not a living soul is
allowed to Intrude without a pass from
the city or the Forestry Service. And
passes are not granted unless there is
an important reason. . The reserve is
absolutely closed" to the. public by act
of Congress. -
In the Winter time the reserve takes
care of ftself because "it has no at
traction for hunters and there are no
forest fires to contend with. In the
Summer months, however, it requires
the utmost protection.
: Rangers Guard Reserve.
The guarding is done by rangers
who patrol the reserve day and night,
watching over ' the vast area' from
every angle. These rangers are prin
cipally employed to watch out for for
est fires, but they are, as well, armed
with orders to oust' any person who
may stray into the reserve from any
of the hundreds of camps and recrea
tion places surrounding the reserve.
' The reserve, which is all forest cov
ered, ' is ' netted with about 100 miles
of good trail built principally by Fed
eral rangers. . These trails are built
for the accommodation of pack tecr.-,
but are not. large enough for vehicles
of any kind. They wind about the
ranges and mountains, leading to
ranger stations and headquarters of
fire-fighting organizations. The trails
are fitted with telephone lines, which
the rangers are' able to tap at any
point and get in' telephonic communica
tion with any other part- of the re
serve. Mount Hood la Main Station.
The main station for the protection
is Mount Hood, where Lige Coalman
has a cabin from which he can set
every point in the reserve." The second
station, which is headquarters, is at
Zig Zag. Other stations are located
on the Sandy River at the edge of the
reserve: at Lost Lake, at Table Moun
tain, at Latourell Prairie, . at Larch
Mountain, at Walker Prairie.' and at
Little Sandy. In addition to these-thn
city has guards and fire fighters at
the headworks in Bull Run canyon, a.
man on the headwaters or the South,
Fork of the Bull Run River and usual
is a crew-of men at Bull Run Lake.
Also there is an observatory on Indian
Mountain.
The arrangement Js such that a man
either of Federal or city employ is
within five miles of every point in thw
reserve at all times. The worit of tnt
rangers is to patrol trails rollowini$
the tops of ridges overlooking their
part of the reserve. They perform thia
patrol work continuously, constantly
being on the lookout for fires.
Coalman Always on Lookout.
Fires show very . distinctly in the
reserve and almost as soon as a fire
occurs it is noted by some one of the
watchers. Mr. Coalman on the top of
Mount Hood frequently ha nntKi and.
reported even thin columns of smoke
arising from a campfire where a,
ranger has sat down to cook an even
ing or morning meal.
As soon as a fire is noted . tele
phonic communication forthwith is es
tablished throughout the reserve. Ry
means of an instrument carried by
each ranger it is possible to determine
the location of the fire. Mount Hood
station reports the fire fo be at a cer
tain angle from his station. Table
Mountain then reports the degrees
from him and each other station makes .
a similar report. . Zig Zag station-puts
all the reports together and can tell ;
within a quarter mile -of where the
fire has Btarted.
Men and equipment are constantly'
ready to move to the scene, and it is not
