Mr. Sanford was connected with the firm of Sanford, Sill & Co., when this firm was in Shan iko, and about four and one -half years ago the firm moved to Mad ras and conducted a general mer chandise business. Later the firm was taken over by the pres ent owner who has had a very successful business during: the past two years. Mr. Sanford expects to spend the winter in Portland with his family and will return to Madras in the spring to look after his interests in this section. The new owner is well known to the people of this place, hav ing been a resident of the Hay stack country for several, years, until about a year since vrhen he moved to Albany, Oregon, and this fall came back to his farm in Crook County. The city street lights were in stalled the first of the week and certainly fill a long-felt want. The lights are about 250 candle power, and throw a light for a considerable distance in all direc tions. The lights are generat ed by gasoline. There are seven of the lights in all, six being fur nished by the city and one by subscribtion, which is located on the hill near S. E. Gray's resi dence. The other lights are lo cated, one on the street corner north of the Townsite company s The Madras Well Dr'illing Com office, one near Lownera s store, pany wn0 hare been oneratirftf n one near McTaggart's, one at this sectioo. of the county for the bank, one near the Madras seVeral nvonths past, have de Trading Co.'s store and one near cided to incorporate under tfie Well Drillers Incorporate Larkin's store.

The Blue Front. W. J. . Cowherd, Prop. Poor Timber Conservation Oregon, the richest of all the states in timber wealth, is the most negligent and indifferent in protecting, conserv ing and perpetuating its unequalled riches, declares the Conservation Com mission, in its annual report to the Governor. Oregon's loss in wealth last year through forest fires was $23,000,000, and this was all due to the fact that in the state there i3 no organized power under state cuidance for patroling priv ate and state holdings, and suppressing $ incipient blazes. Oregon's tax laws do j no permit reforcstration of cut-over j jjj i-Jnnn nyivntp hnlflirnrs. no induce-1 lam l -- c-f ment 8 is given to perpetuate the forest and no provision is made which will have the effect of causing the logger to cut mature timber. In round terms, the Commission says Oregon has 400,000,000,000 feet of standing timber, board measure, per haps more, which is worth to the state at current prices of lumber ?5, 000,000, 000. This stupendous aggregate of wealth is more than any other interest the state has save and except its cul tivable land. This wealth must go in its realization almost exclusively to the fire eon communities, to the laborers and ilJie farmers, as 80 per cent of the total rtost of getting lumber Is for labor and supplies. Protection from forest fires by or ganized state effort is urged, and a definite phm for work is suggested by the CommissJon. An able, nonpolitical state forester should bo provided, whose duty it should be to go into the the most careful study of fire protec tion and reforestation problems. A liberal appropriation for forest fire jatrol should be made. ri M ..: I I .1. I...... r- u.
