Japanese woman has a thriving
colony of silk worms that she has
raised from imported cocoons

spinning their silk and will soon
develop to the butterfly stage.

SCHOOL ELECTION '
As a slight irregularity was
found in the ballot of the school
election held to bond the district
for the purpose of building the
new school house, the work has
to be done over again and the
school board has posted notices
declaring a special election July
21, 1911, for the purpose of re
submitting the bonding of the
district.

County Fire Warden Appointed
By State Forester
Under the authority given him
by the Oregon Forest Fire law
11 i 1 1 . T 1
enacted oy tne last Legislature,
State Forrester F. A. Elliott is
actively engaged in perfecting
his campaign for the prevention
of forest fires during the ap
proaching dry season. Aside
from the local fire wardens, of
whom there will be about six
hundred in the state, supervising
wardens are being appointed in
each of the heavily timbered
undesireable situation, or as it is counties. In that portion of the
land Automobile Club and repre- J Dixon, 5 acres, t 7 s, r 6 w,
sentatives from every prominent
city on the Coast are expected to
attend. A number of automo
bilists will come down in their
cars from Seattle. Some good
work may be expected for good
roads as a result of this conven
tion and particularly for the
great highway projected along
the coast line from Canada to
Mexico.
That the whole state will be
represented in framing proposed
good roads legislation is assured
nw that Governor West has
named a commission of promi
nent men from all parts of Ore
to assist in the work. It is
believed this will prevent a flood
of hasty legislation at the next
election and u-ni rr,,
. m mi give L11C UIllllC
state just what is needed for
h'ghway betterment.
Mining men will meet at Grants
on July is. The recent

Uregon will probably make the

teresting one. Invitations to at

mining organizations of the

Salem. -The discovery of
wholesale forgeries of names on
the referendum petition attack
ing the University of Oregon ap
propriations may yet save those
appropriations. Burns' detec
tives, working under the direc
tion of ex-Supreme Court Justice
Slater, declare that 8000 names
are tainted with fraud and that
at least 4000 are self-evident
forgeries.
Otto Newman, who was in
dicted in Portland for forging

sometimes expressed, "In a
hole," they might try to defeat
the bonding proposition. But,
we do not believe that Monmouth
district has that kind of resi
dents, neither do we think such
purpose will be instituted, but
that the question of bonding will
carry again, and this
should lie unanimous from the
fact that the school board have
gone ahead in good faith, made
the contract for the building and
since it is done it must be paid
; for, and if we are not mistaken
in the construction of the school
law under such circumstances,
the board could make levies up
on the district to meet the obli
gations when it become necessa
ry to do so.
However, we think such action
will not be necessary nor that
any such disposttion is or will be
manifest. The way to succeed
and build up a town is to work
together.

State having but a small amount
of timber, two or more counties
will be looked, after by one su
pervising warden. Mr. Frank
Ileydon, of Falls City, Oregon,
has been appointed to the posi
tion of supervising ..warden for
Pollvcounty. This appointment I
time it ' was mau by the . State Forester
after a very careful consideration
of the recommendations received
from the principal timber-land
owners of this territory. Per
sons residing in localities not
covered by a local lire warden
should consult him in regard to
burning of slashings and infor
mation concerning the fire law.
The supervising wardens will
have general supervision over
the county or district placed in
their charge. They will be ex
pected to keep in touch with the
local fire wardens, whether serv
ing voluntarily or under pay for
the timber owners, county courts
or otherwise, and to lend them
every assistance in their power
for the enforcement of the laws.
They will be empowered to issue
burning permits where the terri
tory is not covered by a local fire
warden, and to act as referee in
cases where there is a difference
of opinion between any local
warden and a resident or com
pany relative to the advisability
of issuing a burning permit.
Logging camps, sawmills, rail
roads, etc., where steam engines
burning other than oil for fuel
are being operated, will be in
spected from time to time to see
that proper spark arresters are
kept in use. In addition, super
vising wardens will advise with
farmers, loggers, and others who
have slashings to burn, instruct
campers concerning camp fires,
distribute copies of the law, post
fire notices in places where they
will do the most good, and keep
the State Forester fully informed
in regard to the fire situation in
their district.
It is not the intention of the
forest fire law that the State
should be called upon to fight
forest fires, and there is no ap
propriation made lor that pur
pose except in extreme emer
gencies. The real intent, how
ever, is to prevent fires and in
case fires do get started to see
that the proper persons, that is,
those who are the most interested
in the locality of the fire, whether
timber owners, sawmill men, log
gers, farmers or others, do get
an adequate force of men on the
ground immediately to properly
handle and extinguish the fire.
PROVIDE GOMT TO KEN
Special provisions for taking
care of babies and their mothers
upon arrival at a railroad station
is the latest experiment that is
being tried by the Southern Pa
cific Company at its Sacramento,
California depot. The idea is
only an experiment and is at the
suggestion of one of the patrons
of the Southern Pacific Company.
A special room has been fur
nished for the purpose just oil
the main waiting room of the
depot and two women attendants,
pract'eal nurses, are always pres
ent to look out for the needs of
the women travelers who have
their infants with them. Couch
es have been provided for the
convenience of the mothers and
ja numper of specially constructed
cots for the babies have been installed.
In this manner, when a woman
traveler with a baby is compelled
to wait in the depot for her train
or for those who should have
met her at the station, she is
provided wun an tne com torts
she would have in her own home.
The nurses in charge of the room
prepare a bed for the baby and
for the mother and they are al
lowed to rest for - as long a time
as may he necessary. Apparatus
is to be installed to facilitate the
heating of the food for the in
fant?., and if Hi". eynnrl.c'Tt"
proves to be a success it is possi
ble that it may be extended by
the Southern Pacific Company to
all its principal stations.
The idea is not original with
the ollieials of the company. . It
was offered by a woman traveler
and is being experimented with,
as all suggestions that are offered
in this way if they appear to the
officials to be practicable.
