CAMPERS AND FIRES.
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. Portland

The Poet's Fancy.
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.

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.

An Idaho man climbed a telegraph
pole, and stayed treed all night by a

That man's imagination would be
worth a lot to me.

"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.
