Forest fires have this year commenc ed earlier than usual, and the atmos phere, even for miles off the coast is thick with smoke. To visitors from the east It seems an awful waste of raw material and an inexcusable de vastation of American forests to per mit this wholesale destruction every summer. Not only in the state of Oie gon, but In Washington. Northern Cal ifornia and Idaho, are these annual conflagrations going on. That Immedi ate and serious steps should be taken to prevent the evil Is patent to every thinking man. In a few years if these fires are not checked, not only will millions of dollars have been lost, but irreparable damage will have been done to American forestry, the serious effects of which will soon be felt. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer it Is learned that Immense districts In that state all along the coast and as far east as Spokane, are now burning. The air 1. dense with the smoke, and It Is said that the city of Spokane la almost hidden from view by the thick atmosphere. Railroad bridges are be ing consumed, and other property Is threatened. A society has been formed In Washington, composed of young naturalists, to devise way. and mean, to prevent this wholesale destruction of forests. The Post-Intelligencer further states that biys have been enacted In the various legislatures along the coast providing a remedy for this crying evil, and that at the last session of congress two bills were Introduced, one of which would have passed the house on the last day of the session but for a single objection. The full text of the bill Is given which provides ample remedy for this criminal waste of na ural resources which would be per mitted in no other countries In the world except the United States. It Is Incumbent upon every citizen of the Pacific slope to Join In bringing such a pressure to bear upon every con gressman and senator In Washington as will speedily bring about the pas sage of an adequate bill for the pro tection of forestry. To the destruction of forests In the wanton and wholesale manner common for years past In ev ery section of this country, It I. thought by scientists, can be attribut ed the great climatic changes which have taken place of recent years.

Filed Laden, were rapslied In the traps at I Sand Island. The men saw their dan i ger, but before they were able to et ( away from the dangerous ground, i they were thrown with grrst force by a large wave right Into the traps, and their boat was capslt.il and broken, and the men were floundering In the water. Nets, clothing, and all other articles In the boat of course went overboard.

It would not have been large enough to accommodate the crowd, that flocked there to ce Ilrls tol's educated equlnes at the matinee yesterday. It was what might be termed children's day and from school house and home came little tot., boys, youths, misses and matron., and even gruy headed men mingled with the crowd and pushed and struggled for place in line at the box office. The I performance did not commence until I 3 o'clock, but a. early as 2 o'clock the sidewalk for ten feet either side of the entrance and extending Into the street was filled with a struggling mass of humanity, mostly children. Not all of them got In and many were compelled to go away disappointed. Those that gained the Inside saw the trained animals go through their mar velous feats. The evening perform ance drew another crowded house." In Astoria during the engagement of Prof. Bristol the prices will be 25, 35 and 50 cents no higher. The U.
