There could be no shirking or put
ting Off of responsibility on the part
of any of the commissioners under the
commission form of government. These
men would be held accountable to the
people and a taxpayer could go to them
on anv Question and receive a reply
that would end the business In a tew
minutes. At present a man ran spend
months trying to have a small piece of
business transacted that should not re
quire 15 minutes. Why It should !h
necessary when a plan could be formed
which would relieve the citizens of such
conditions Is something I do not under
stand." Little was done at yesterday's meet

Kxaggerated reports regnrdlng forest
fires ln Crook county, particularly In
tho I'oulln.i mountains unA along the
Ieschutes river, have given rise to the
Impression that a large area has been
burned and much valuable timber de
stroyed, according to A. V. Ponohue
who returned to I'ortland today from
a visit to the upoer lleschutes region.
where ho watched the progress of the
flames for several days, or until tno
flro was under control.
The fire In the Paulina mountains
burned over nine sections of land,'' said
Mr. lionohue. "The pine needles, with
which the ground Is heavily matted,
were the first to be attacked. There Is
no underbrush In tho country, so the
flames were confined largely to the
fallen timber and grass and needles. I
doubt If ln the nine sections hurried
over there has been In excess of 6 per
cent of tho live timber destroyed.
"Along the Deschutes river the loss
has been considerably less. I think t'i
will cover the entire loss of pine ln the
section burned along the Deschutes."
The fact that the timber belt In the
Deschutes region is free of underbrush
of any kind is largely responsible for
the small loss accruing to timber own
ers and lumber companies in tho district
where the tires have been fought by the!
forest rancers. The flames have run
through the needles and grass, created
a heavy volume of smoke, attacked t he
fallen timber and ln spots run into the
live timber and destroyed It. but tho loss
Is Insignificant, nnd corroborates Hie as
sertion often made that the timber belt
of the Deschutes is one of the few in
the country where a forest tire ln reality
can do but little damage.
