Portland, Ore. The summer's cam
paign against forest fires is being
planned by the Oregon Forest Fire
association, of which A. P. Sprague
Is resident and C. S. Chapman secre
tary, with headquarters in Portland.
Its objects are the protection and
preservation of the state's greatest
resource its timber.
It is far more important to prevent
fires, bollcveH the association, than to
fight them after they become started,
and with this end in view, attention
Is being called to the best ways to
avoid disastrous conflagrations that
sweep the timbered districts, wasting
the forests and bringing death and
destruction to the settler.
During the coming summer more
attention is said to be paid to having
privately owned timber patrolled. The
government may be expected to look
after the forests Included in the res
ervations and the owners of timber
will be encouraged by the association
to watch their 'holdings during the
dry season and will cooperate in every
way to make this work effective.
The protection of the forests is a
work In which the entire population
has a direct interest tt Is pointed out
by the association. Eighty per cent
of the ultimate value of the timber
crop goes for labor and supplies and
the destruction through fires of each
1000 feet of timber means a loss of at
least In wages to the community
Burned timber pays no taxes and
lends no aid to the support of the
Institutions of the state.
To exploit Oregon's 545,000,000.000
feet of timber means that some $5,
000,000.000 must be paid out in wa
ges alone. The industry in this state
now circulates approximately 125,
000,000 yearly, more wealth than ap
ples, fish, wool and wheat combined,
Every citizen has a part in forest
protection and efficient enforcement
of the law is an object of the associa
tion. It is hoped during the coming
summer to enlist the cooperation of
evrVvorn. to keen the fire loss at a
minimum.
OF SCROFULA
Scrofula belongs to the type of diseases known as blood poison, and is a
trouble usually manifested in childhood. The ordinary symptoms of Scrof
ula are swollen glands about the neck, sores and ulcers on the body, scalp
diseases, skin affections, weak eyes, poor physical development, etc. The
trouble being deeply rooted in the blood, often attacks the bones if the poison
is not removed from the circulation, and this should be seriously considered

LOST SON IS

Wallace, Idaho. With the arrival
of a pathetic "letter of recognition

and the last chapter of one more bf
the many tragedies concluded. George
A. Blodgett, who shipped from Butte
and who contributed his life with 72
others, is the latest of the number
to be claimed. .
"Yes, George Blodgett Is my boy
who, has been lost to me for nearly
nine years," writes the mother In her
letter to the local forestry depart

When the burned bodies were be

card issued by the Butte Working-
men's Union, and bearing the name
of George A. Blodgett.

From Butte the department received
the names of many of the man's for

many letters had been sent to the
supposed addresses of. these men and
weeks had passed an answer came
from one of the more Intimate, who
remembered facts concerning the dead
man's past. Among these were the

The man who went down in a div
ing suit and Inspected the sunken
United States warship Maine and
whose report to President McKinley
resulted in the declaration of war on
Snain, is now a. resident of Vancou
ver,, says the Vancouver frovinee.
'.tfhis is Captain H. E. Anderson, A.
A... manager of the Western Ma
rine Salvage company of ondon and
fn.a4ce, who came to ,ancouyer on
the steamer Selma, ' operating' ' be
tween Vancouver and Powell River
under the All Red Steamship com
panv's flag. Captain Anderson is in
terested in the Selma and forms one
of her complements, but today he
came ashore for-a week's vacation.
When the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor in February, 1S98,
and when the whole world was stirred
over the' incident. President McKin
ley cabled to London asking that
Captain Anderson be sent out to in
spect the wreck. Captain Anderson
is a specialist in this kind of work and
has an international reputation. He
Vent to Havana, made his Inspection
and then proceeded to Washington,
Where he made his report to Presi
dent McKinley. This was of such
serious nature that the president sent
him back to make a second examina
lion, and the second report bearing
out the conclusions of the first, war
was declared and nisiory was ma tie.
'I found that the Maine had been
destroyed by mines," said Captain
Anderson to The Province this morn
ing. "When I went down I found a
regular chain of submarine mines
laid across the harbor from
Moro Castle to Havana. One of these
had exploded antl blown the Maine
to bits. Bodies or bits of bodies
were scattered through the wreckage
mill there was absolutely no doubt
that destruction came from without
and through the agency of thes
mines."
After his report had been accepted
Captain Anderson was the recipient
of a gold watch from President Mc
Kinley. He lias a theory, however,
that the Spaniards were not respon
sible for the accident, but that th
electrical connections with the mine
were found by the Cubans who caus
ed the disaster in order to precipitate
war. This theory is Captain Ander
son's own Idea and there was no evl
dence to bear It out.
Spokane, Wash. Sixty-nine healthy
chicks from a setting of 73 eggs have
ust been hatched by electricity on J
3on Alexander's ranch at Rcltmeler's
i atlon. Wath . near Spokane. The
nitial test was so successful that 1300
ggs will be placed in the incubator
is soon as the apparatus can be In'
:talled. The equipment, which 1 not
patented, can be attached to an or
iinary oil-burning Incubator at an
.xpi-n-e of less than a dollar.
Construction of the electrically op
iated incubator is simple. Mr,
iexan-der took the lamps from the
oil-burning mach;ine and wound
noon silver wire around the frames
iliove the egg trays, connecting the
oils with an incandescent light cir-
uit. This ;s made through a contact
levlce. consisting of a piece of Iron
fixed on the regular atmfwyfwypm
fixed on the regulator arm to dip In
o a small cup filled with mercury.
When the temperature in the incu
bator rises to 103 degrees, the natur
al hatching point, the iron arm la lift
ed automatically, shutting off the cur
rent until there is a fall of one
fourth degree. As a precaution
against overheating In the event of
the failure of the controlling device
a piece of underwriter's fuse is plac
ed In the circuit at the hottest, part
of the machine, thus shutting off the
current at 155 degrees fahrenheit.
"The chicks we hatched in test
ing the machine the first time are of
normal size and unusually lively." Mr.
Alexander said, adding: ",Of course
I did not strike It the first time. 1
experimented several months with
small settings before reaching what
is said by poultry experts to be per
fect incubating heat by electricity.
The reason I did not protect the in
vention by patents is because I want
every farmer Interested in chicken
culture to profit by my work without
any expense on his part. I have
nothing to sell."
