Prominent Lumberman DerJaree
Nothing Can He Don in Day Time
Hut Between Midnight and 3 a. as.
Fire Can lie Focgbt Effectual.
"While every man available Is
ni-edfd In southern Oregon, the peo'
pie here have a queer Idea regarding
the foret fires," declared George
Kelly, formerly of the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company. "For 16 years
had to fight forest fires and bad
charge of the patrol In our section of
the state, and I am rather familiar
with the business. Now, forest fires
do not race along at a terrific speed
as is reported, and supposed. I ney
er saw a forest fire that moved mora
than three miles a day, and the only
one that ever did move faster than
that since the white men came to this
country was one in the state of Wash
lngton several years ago, when there
was almost a hurricane to shove it
along.
"The only time to fight fire la at
night. Between midnight and 8 a.
m. the fire will go almost out. Then
is the time to attack it with hoes and
hovels. During the day the only
thing to do is to watch it burn.
Everything is warm and dry, but
along about midnight the damp night
air checks the flames and then is the
time to get busy always fight a for
est fire at night; never in the day
time. And it is almost impossibla to
top a fire when It is climbing a hill
side, but a fire rarely will burn down
the side of a ridge, unless, of course,
the sparks have been blown ahead
and have started another fire. Dur
Ing the day about all fighters can do
la to pull down rotten stumps. Send
men ahead with a crosscut saw and
get down the old, dead trees, for they
are responsible for spreading the fire.
"There isn't much danger of people
being caught in a fire if they are any
way careful. They can almost always
get out unless they are on a point
which is surrounded by fire. For the
past two weeks the fire has been
burning in the Crater country, ret it
has not gone very far. It is spread
ing to the north, south and east, the
front is widening, but not rapidly.
It is a good thing to gave the soldiers
on the ground, but neither the soldiers
nor officers know how to fight a for
est fire, and even several hundred
more troops would be useless unless
they have some experienced fire fight
ers to work under. If the soldiers
turn to work at night and do their
sleeping in the daytime, they should
quickly have the fire under control.
The more men the better, provided
they have experienced men to direct
them." Portland Telegram.
ALEXANDRA'S FIRST
VISIT TO AMERICAN
London. Cora, the Countess of
Stafford, who Is one of the most pop
ular and successful American hos
tesses, was the recipient of a special
honor a few days ago. Lady Stafford
and her husband, Mr. Kennard,' have
. taken Houghton Hall, Norfolk, from
Marquis Chlomondeley. The Dowag
er Queen Alexandra went over from
Bandringham and spent the. entire af
ternoon with Lady Stafford. This is
the first visit Alexandra has paid
since the death of King Edward and
It came as a complete surprise.
Lady Strafford was engaged In
gardening and dressed in old clothes
when the Queen Mother's motor car
came up the drive. Lady Stafford at
tempted to run Indoors and change
ber clothes, but Queen Alexandra
smilingly refused to allow it and In
sisted on viewing trio countess at gar
dening. The queen looked beautiful
In her widow's weeds, but her deaf
ness has increased to such an extent
thru everyone who addresses her is
obliged to shout without appearing
to do so, as the queen Is very sensitive
on this subject.
Those knowing Alexandra intimate
ly say that she Is deeply pained by
the three attacks Kler Hardle, the
leader of the socialists, made on her
and against paying her a pension of
3W),000 yearly. It Is well known to
the royal household that Alexandra Is
prodigal to gifts of charity. The fact
thnt such a large part of her Income
la aeroted to charity makes Hardle'!
attacks more hurtful.

BOY SCOCT IDEA NOW
FOLLOWED BT CZAR
St. Petersburg. The czar has fol
lowed the example of the New York
American" in adapting the British
Boy Scout Idea to the conditions of
his own country. Only in Russia the
conditions are so different from
those In America and England that
the organization evolved here is of
the purely military, parade ground
order.
The Russian boy-soldiers are term
ed "potescnoe voysko" (play troops),
and the organisation Is really a re
vival of the Juvenile corps formed by
Peter the Great, the Emperor Paul,
and other czars in their youth.
The boys are uniformed, armed and
drilled Just as miniature soldiers. One
crops Jn St. Petersburg had the honor
of being reviewed by the czar him
self, who was accompanied by the six-
year-old czarevitch; while the minis
ter of war Inspected another.
The movement Is to be extended to
all the elementary schools, where
military movements, rifle drills and
gymnastics will be taught. Although
differing widely from the British and
American boy scouts, the formation
of the new "poteshnoe voysko" can be
traced directly to the czar's Interest

his organization, which he gave his

bushels to the acre. He also states
that he has corn on one of these farms

MINISTER FLETCHER
ON WAY TO CHILE
London. Henry P. Fletcher, the
newly appointed United States minis
ter to Chile, is In London. To an
American reporter he said:
"I am not as familiar with South
America as I am with Europe, China
and the Antilles. I am leaving for
Santiago on the steamship Amazon
and am looking forward with much
pleasure to my new work. I have a
great many friends In Chile, and with
the opening of the Panama canal and
developments which ara bound to fol
low the future of South America
seems very bright to me.
"Great interest Is now being taken
not only In the United States but in
the world over in the remarkable
progress which has. been made in
South American states and ' In their
brilliant prospects.
"One of the principal questions be
tween the United States and Chile is
the Allsop claim In connection with
the transfer of Bolivian territory to
Chile. The case for the United States
has Just been submitted to King
George V., who will act as arbiter.
King Edward VII was to have adjudg
ed the claim, but after his unfortu
nate death his successor 'kindly con
sented to act In his stead. Two or
three weeks from now Chile's case
shall have been submitted and later
a decision rendered.
"We are having arbitration with
everybody, particularly with Great
nrftfiln at The Hague. It is, as Sec
retary Knox stated at the Pennsyl
vania University recently, 'Arbitration
for all difficulties is the line of true
American diplomacy.' "

for evening service, the pumps being
especially adapted for opera wear.
In men's shoes patent and other
leathers designed on the "corn cure"

with favor. For children there Is a
new thing in a shoe with brass but
