That the money necessary to finance the proposition will be forth coming is evidenced from the fact that con siderable over $200 has been raised by volunteer subscriptions, the paper having never been cir culated. It is thought that the matter of raising $800 to $1000 will be com paratively easy in the face of the fact that so much has been raised by volunteer subscription. The voting for Carnival King ami Queen has been started. Seven voting places have been secured. They are: Trowbridge’s store, Rosa Co’s. store, both drug stores, Mars’ Confectionery, Arc Light Bowling alley, and Smith Bros, and Sidwell. Votes will be ten cents each. Tickets and envelopes will be pro vided for at each place and voters are requested to place the ticket and money in the envelope and seal the Seattle, Wash., Aug 10 —To lesson the danger to standing tim ber along railway lines from sparks, in Northwestern States,. the Wall ington State Forest Fire Associa tion will start a campaign for the substitution of oil as fuel in locomo tives. Every year during the dry season, millions of feet of valuable timber are destroyeil as the result of flying sparks from locomotives. This is a great loss in wealth of one of the state’s most valuable natural resources. President Earling of the Chicago, Milwaukee <& St. Paul has annouced that he will cooperate in the movement, as he does not want to see a foot of timber 1 de stroyed along his line, Accord ing- ly, the Milwaukee is equipoing forty locomotives with oil burners. They will be used in Washington, Idaho anil Montana timber belts President Earling believes that the use of oil will prove an economical innovation. As a result of 83 ser ious fires along railway lines in New York State last year, its pub lie service corporation has decreed that oil must be burned by locomo tives. An effort will be made to persuade the Washington Railway Commission to make a similar ruling. The matter will also be pressed in other timber states of the country. Elocutionary Recital • » same.
