The Toronto Mall sounds a warn- fr nnnndlan camn'ers which should be of interest on this side of the border. Many hundreds of thou sand dollars' worth of timber is de stroyed every season, says that pub lication, by forest fires which are started by careless outing parties. While large tracts of wooded land have been denuded during the last lew years by lumber operators, there still remains thousands of acres of valuable timber which should be pro tected against accidental fire. Dur ing the late summers large numbers of sportsmen go into the northern woods on camping trips. Many Coos Bayites seek the wilds during the open game seasons. In another cou ple of weeks the great forests will teem with hunters, every state in the union furnishing its quota. That there will be destructive fires this year is probable. Most of these might be avoided if ordinary precau tions were taken by hunting parties. The average sportsman, says the Mail, In his hurry to break camp nnornlngs, will neglect to put out his lire. Its ashes are apparently dead -when he leaves, and he does not think to make a closer examination. After he has gone the smouldering sparks communicate themselves to vthe surrounding undergrowth, and a great forest fire is started, the dam age from which cannot be repaired under a quarter of a century. The Canadian paper has computed the cost of replanting at about $5 an acre, or $3,000 a square mile. It costs more than $100,000 to cover an ordinary township with young trees. After this expenditure a gen eration is required before the trees may mature. One careless camper, Jn an hour's time, can destroy a plot of timber of a greater area than this. After ajl, It is a simple matter to ex tinguish camp fires, and If hunters only realized their responsibilities while In the woods there would not he many costly conflagrations, jit Is Inconceivable, that anyone would deliberately touch oft a forest. A LITTLE ADVERTISIXG TALK. Have you ever thought pf It that -wbep a man is sicH when he Is not earning money Is exactly the time nvhen he cannot afford to hire a doc tor? If you haven't, you have probably heard a merchant advance an exactly similar doctrine about advertising. There are merchants who figure that In "dull times," when money is not easy to' got, they cannot afford to spend It for advertising space. It there la any essential difference hetweon these two ideas wherein does It lie? Of course, most men realize when anything else except the sub ject of advertising Is Involved that sat a time when a thing Is necessary is no time to qulbblo about whether or not it can bo "afforded." But, as to advertising, a few jnen imagine tbat none of tho laws of business ap 3ly to that. Nothing else so effectually lines up 4he Competent buslnpss men In con trast to tho incompotont ones as this I -very matter of advertising. Whon t ""times" are "good" and money "easy," tho real merchants advertise Hlborally because It Is necessary to tetoro-prestlge and growth. Tho less scapablo merchants advertise more or ifless liberally, according to tho mood of tho moment, moroly to "bo In tho ,;swm." Whon tho "pinch" comes and tilmid people get n llttlo scared at shadows, nnd Inclined to "stampede" with any ilock of human sheep that comes tumbling along tho capable morcbant sees his opportunity, sets i his moro or less squnro Jaw at a fighting angle, and begins to test tho Wnicacy of newspaper publicity In f -times of stress and storm. He makes ewspapor advertising his ally, his dependence. He stakes more on it than' all other helps combined. And It does not fall him. It "pulls him through" the hardest business conditions that ever, happened. And he comes out of the fight twice as strong as he went into It. AX OBJECT LESSON FOR COOS BAY PEOPLE What makes Portland peculiarly distinctive Is its tree-covered hill sides. Some one at one time de scribed Portland as a city built in the midst of a forest. It is that which give's It its peculiar charm and makes it a' city apart. Generally speaking, everybody recognizes this fact, but practically only an isolated person here and there acts upon It. The moment a hillside Is to be brought into the market for sale In city lots the rule is to cut down every tree which adorns it. Many of these are firs but they Include maples, dog woods and a great variety of natural shrubbery. They are all ruthlessly destrojed by ax and fire, Just as 'hrough they could be reproduced to order twenty days hence, instead of weuty years. It is the same with the ordinary man who goes to build. Vo matter how his lot may be adorn ed with indigenous trees, he is not satisfied until the ground is leveled off like a billiard table. Then he builds his house. His greatest fear seems to be that any part of his home may escape perfect view from any side of the adjacent streets. Having built his house, he begins to adorn it with more or less foolish shrubbery, little Imported trees stunted In their growth or shrubs of Tarlous kinds tortured into unnatural shapes. This done, every body sits back perfectly content and mnrmurs, "How lovely!" Why do we utterly destroy our beautiful indigenous trees, which takes years to replace, and in their stead put in a lot of misfit importa tions that will never amount to any thing, and In the very nature of things never can amount to any hing? Trees which elsewhere would be prized above all price are here ruthlessly sacrificed day after day. Not only is this true of the ordinary city lot, but It is true of the hillsides which are being denuded of their vegetation Just like a lot of vandals would do the work. Why should not a halt be called? A positive damage Is being done to the whole city, to every part and parcel of it. Why should any owner, through igno rance, indifference or a false and per verted taste, bo permitted to render ugly or commonplace a section which properly conserved Is of unapproach able beauty? The people of Portland owe a duty to themselves and the city's future to conserve, as far as possible, its natural beauty. Millions are spent to create beauty as the city Is now ready to spend them for parks and boulevards. But there should be stimulated a definite public opinion ,q maintain irrespective of this as much of the natural beauty of the city as is consistent with the con struction of the dwellings which are now going up in such a marvelous way throughout the city.

The poet sang of daflodlls', With all a poet's rapture, And of "the spirit of the hills Which none might hope to capture" The' poet In hlff room so, bare And dark and uninviting, Sang of the daffodils out there, Meanwhile his cigar was lighting The poet sent his song away, And back the postman brought It, But finally, one blissful day, A publication bought It; The poet for a week or two Lived in a world of gladness; The modest little check he drew Had banished all his sadness. He'd never seen a daffodil, And penned up in his attic, He strajed not over any hill To learn to be ecstatic; Few songs would ever serve to lift Mankind to exultation If poets never had the gift Of glad Imagination. AXOX. Temptation Is the spice of life. Ideal love is the sole possession of unmarried people. There are some Coos Bay girls who are fond of candy but do not care to have It all taffy. Some Coos Bay husbands think It Is a personal favor to give money to their wives to buy groceries with. Some Coos Bay men seem to act on the principle of sticking their friends Instead of sticking to them. Ivy Condron says you can always hear a cracking noise around his establishment whenever the ginger snaps. The only time a woman really likes tobacco smoke Is when she is in love, and, of course, that is before she Is married. What we need in this country is a batch of married folks who will act toward each other as they did before marriage. Poets would do pretty well If there were more words that rhyme with "love." The "sunny skies above" need a rest. And now the marriageable young woman will haunt the hill sides look ing for four-leaf clovers to put In their shoes. Every small boy should remember that a sister is a nice thing to have Just to take cake away from, If for nothing else. When a young man won't let a young woman look at his watch, she Is safe in assuming that it is not her picture In the case. Some Coos Bay men remind me of little boys riding stick horses and they cut about the same figure In the business world, too. Sbme Coos Bay men succeed by main strength and awkwardness, but the majority get along better by fishing for files with sugar. In Jamaica, housewives rub chalk on the legs of their cupboards to keep ants from crawling up them Coos Bay picknlckers, please note. An Idaho man climbed a telegraph pole, and stayed treed all night by a pack of imaginary bob-tailed cats, That man's imagination would be worth a lot to me. ' "What is this 'near beer they are talking about In Ro'seburg?" "Don't know. But Its something that Indicates a condition of 'near prohibition.1,1 A correspondent writes to ask If it is proper for her to sit on a young man's lap after they aro engaged. What's the use of asking fool ques tions' She will, anyhow. Give a Coos Bay woman Just enough money to buy one dress and sho will come back from the store with thre5 tho one sho has on, the new one and another one charged to your account. "If dogs aro forced to drink liquor several times," says an exchange, "they become very fond of It and cry persistently for it." Certainly; you don't expect a dog to know more than a man, do you? The man whpkeeps still, shakes his head and pays his debts, can get a reputation for wisdom In any com munity. " Every time I pass the cemetery in South Marshfleld and especially when I am tired and worried I ask myself as I nass, "What's the use?" Some times we scrap a heap more than Is justified by the end. Preacher Harry, a mother has five children and but four potatoes; how can she divide the potatoes so that each one will receive an equal portion? Harry (quickly) Mash 'em. j'When a man goes away for rest andchange he may get the rest but hef usually returns with less change than when he started," rpmarked Iphn Kronholm as he 1 ghted his after dinner cigar. The following epitaph may be seen in the cemetery of a parish in the environs of Paris: "Here lies Mme. X , wife of M. N , master blacksmith. The railing round this tomb was manufactured by her hus band." The Wise One at the Mlllicoma says when ou see a young man with the front of his trousers all wrinkled and a girl with her summer dress all mussed around the waist, it is time to look out for a wedding an nouncement.
