A Portland fire engine was sent to

to do much In fire fighting, owing to a
shortage of water.
Sheriff Word has made plans for

Kelly Butte for fighting the flames if

In response to criticism heaped upon
the association and state forestry bu

Stated this morning tha association
had lent assistance in fighting the fire
as soon as it was shown that help was
required.
"The firs started Saturday after
Boon from dood win's sawmill," he said.
"The mill was destroyed, and aside
from this no material damage has re
suited. The burning mill started the
brush fire, and not the other way
. round-, as has been stated in one of
the Portland papers.
"State Forester Elliott sent assist
ance as soon as Informed h.t a fire
existed requiring help, which was
tin Monday, ftlnca thbt ttm th fire
has not spread, although' not to exceed
a dozen men have worked On It any
time. A-large crew has not been need
d at any stae of the fire to control
- it. arid statements such as that Coun
ell Crest was endangered, or that 600
men were needed on the fire are ab
surd. So far as I have been ade to
learn sheriff Word nas burned tip con
aiderabie gasoline, but accomplished
nothing more than this. The county.
through its road master, has cooperat
ed With tho state in a commendable
manner, and there can be no legitimate
criticism ot the itate's action affecting
. the fire."
Inured to the mysterious depths of
the Pacific, the shaded bottom of the

For 25 feet It was no new experience

"In addition to this, when the pres

Chamberlain, without solicitation, had

"Senator Chamberlain has at all

Senator Chamberlain oould always be

$2,000,000 for the restoration and ex

building of our south Jetty. Ho Is in
a splendid position to get those items
into the bill for Coos Bay by the fact
of being chairman of the senate com

er fact that he is a member of the
