When pipes begin to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected, and it costs lots
of money to repair . a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumber's
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty joints. WE are
expert Plumbers, use
only the best materials,
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to us. We
don't do that kind of
work ; but :i if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a first-class man

fully Guaranteed, better
see us. That's the kind
of work we want and
our price will be as cheap
as that kind of work can
be done. ,

PROTECTION FROM FIRE
Control of Forest Fires by an Outlay
of Two Cents per Acre per
Annum.
Fire has always been the worst
enemy of the forest. In many cases
the risk of fire is so great after
lumbering that landowners have not
tried any system of conservative log
ging, but have instead cut the forest
clean in the belief that young timber
would be burned, if left,, before it
could attain sufficient growth for a
second crop. This Is almost the mle
In the heavy forests of the Pacific
coast, where fires have been so preva
lent that they have come to be regarded
as a necessary evil. A single fire
among young trees may not always
kill them, but it will check their
growth and weaken them so that they
will be very susceptible to Insect at
tacks and fungous diseases. Recur
ring fires, however, at last destroy the
whole forest stand, and then chapar
ral takes possession. On cut-over
lands there is usually a great accum
ulation of debris, and this encourages
Are, so that one of the first steps in
fire protection is some provision for
the removal ot debris.
In 1904 the Forest Service in co-operation
with the State of California
made a thorough study of forest con
ditions and their relation to fire on
the tract of the McCloud River Lumber
Company, in Siskiyou County, Cal.
The chief object of this study was to
devise some practical system of forest
protection. The results, which are now
published in Circular 79 of the Forest
Service show that by proper care and
tne execution of certain measures it is
possible to decrease, or even to elim
inate, the danger from forest fires;
that such protective measures may be
carried out at a reasonable cost: and
that the results in most cases will
fully justify the necessary expendi
tures. The plan adopted, which aims to
prevent fires from starting by means
of patrol along carefully Iaid-out
routes, was executed so successfully
that it has since been extended to all
the holdings of the company. Tele
phone and tool stations have been
established, and broad fire lines on
wnicn tne siasu was Durnea nave
been run through the cut-over land.
The details of this plan, accom
panied by a description of the tract
and the forest types, and au estimate
of the future yield and value of cut-
over lands protected from fire, are
given in the circular, which is entitled
"The Control of Forest Fires at
McCloud. California." This publi
cation will be sent free upon appli
cation to the Forester, United States
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C.

Eugene Lawyer Meets Warm Recep
tion in Southern Pa.iflc Land
Office.
A large party of seekers after rail
road lands arrived in Corvallis, Sun
day, from Independence and other
points and left by private convey
ances for Alsea and other places
towards the coast where timbered
tracts belonging to the railroad are to
be found. . Corvallis has gone wild
over the proposition, and like other
towns, is sending Its 6hare of "seek
ers" to the front Corvallis Gazette.
A dispatch from San Francisco In
Tuesday's Telegram says : "Attorney
A. C. Woodcock, who was sent to Sah
Francisco to tender the money put up
by about 60 Eugene people for the
purpose of buying timber lands In the
Southern Paciflo Company's land
grant, has returned from the Bay City.
He says that when he tendered the
money it was promptly refused and
that the officials In the office became
angry and little short of ordered him
out. The matter will now be taken
Into the courts and those who have
put their money into the pool have
hopes of a decision soon to force the
company to sell. '
"Attorney S. D. Allen, representing
another group of would-be timber
purchasers, la now In San Francisco
for the purpose of tendering the
money for the purchase of the lands,
and he will be back In a few days.
"There are already 200 or 300 men
in Eugene and vicinity who have
attached their names to contracts
agreeing to buy claims from the com
pany as soon as the matter Is settled
in their favor, If It is at all, and a
good many others are clamoring to
get their names attached to such aeon-
tracts."
