It
Demonstrated That Absence of
Grass in Forest Precludes
Danger to Timber.
Sheep grazing has la many case been
found very affective in preventing forest
fires on tha national forests. By con
suming the "graaaea and ether forage
'which naturally carry the fire across
the open ridges from one body of timber
to another, grazing performa what wm
formerly aceompUahed by yearly burn
ing and without the bad results of the
latter. It la not necessary to grate to
the extent of Injuring the native grasses
to effectively prevent forest fires.
Grazing it in a conservative manner
whlchJnsures ft full .utlUaatloa.of the
forage crop is sufficient ,': On. the rhost
important grazing areas in national
forests, which are usually located in the
yellow Tljrt regions, the, effect of graz
ing' as a fire- preventive wis ' said " to
have- been conclusively : shown. The
usual fires Of the pine country are what
are known as grass t fires. These do
considerable damage to large Umber,
but are most Injurious to th ' young
growth whoa thin bark can not with
stand even the heat of a slight grass
fire. . The absence, through grazing,- of
grass and other forage, which forms
fuel for ground fires, precludes any
danger to this class of timber , '
Sheep trails and driveways are usual-,
ly laid off on the summits of the moun
tains, "which are the natural roads for
Ingress and egress to the sheep ranges
and sheep pass over them yearly they
' are devoid of grass or small growth. and
belhg of sufficient width to . prevent
f trees from crossing them," as well . as
being located on the crests of the ridges,
they form' the ideal "place from which
to attack tlrlrK:.:--i::vxi::
In some cases sheep grazing has in
jured young growth and it. has been
necessary to restrict it in such places.
In eastern ' Washington and Oregon,
. however, such grazing in the open pine
timber has not proven undesirable, . In
the past, some fires have been traced
to careless stockmen, but this is seldom
the case now. The presence of stock
men in the forested areas 1s now con
sidered a safeguard. They have ren
dered valuable assistance time and again
in reporting and fighting fires, . and
they unquestionably add to tha already
efficient fire fighting force, maintained
by the forest service and many private
overseers. '

20 minutes later the flames broke out
He, too, had to run from his clothes.
John Kemp, foreman -inth-lroning
department on the third floor, did much
to preserve order among the girls, who
it was feared would become panicky at
the cry of fir. He told them to file
calmly out of the building, and they
obeyed his instructions. At first It ap
peared as if the fire would be confined
to the basement and some of the women
were inclined to remain at work, but
Foremnn Kemp compelled them to get
out. ' Mrs. Caroline Schmidt was on of
those who failed to realize the danger.
and she was the last to get out nd in
tn nick of time. A moment later and
she would have been burned to death,

I Heavy "tossst on Laundry.'
A careful - estimate - completed this
afternoon Indicates that th " loss of
linen .' and washing destroyed by the
fire will aggregate nearly 880,000. which
amount It is doubtful it th company
win endeavor .to make good, -sine
legally a laundry cannot be held' re

In case of fir. Manager Dannells stated
this morning that be hoped to replaoe
th destroyed linen, but at that time
figured the amount would not exceed a
few thousand dollars. .
A number of hotels wer anions' the
patrbns of the laundry and their linen
alone amounts to several' thousand dol
lars. Three thousand packages wer
ready for delivery when th fir started.
and th greater number of these wer
destroyed. It is estimated that each
package contained at least 88 worth of
laundry. Th company carried no In
surance whatever on th contents of th
building, outside of th machinery.
Construction of th building cost 830.-

about 830.000, making a total of 860,000.

nature of the grant -Attorney Snow
for th railroad desires that the ordi

Th city attorney stipulates that th
grant should be mad by franchise. This
latter la in accord with th desires of
east sid business men, who also ask
that a common user olaus b insert
ed into the franchise. '
City Attorney Grant said this' morn
ing that he had arranged to hold a
final conference with the railroad attor
neys tomorrow. It does not seem to
him that an agreement can he reached
at that time, and If not he will ask that
the mayor call the street oommltte of
the council Into emergency : session to
detarmln what is best to b don. .
The O. R. & N. company is also
protesting against' th introduction of
provisions for underground passages,
conduits and passages for wires which
City Attorney Grant Insists must be
