TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES Senate Bill to Compel Burning of Slashings and Debris Passed House After Hard Fight - Tilla mook anrTCIatsop Counties Alone Exempted From Its Provisions. Timbermen Elated Guard Special SVrvlco. Salein, Feb. 21. What Is pro nounced by timbermen to be the only valuable act ever passed by an Ore gon legislature relative to the preven tion of forest llres was passed by the house this morning, it being lli:i!;- hatn's S. H. No. 212, that requires e burning of slashings and debris In lumber cimips and forests of the state every year. This work Is to bo carried out under tho supervision of the precinct or county road super visor, who is made deputy lire war den, ox-ollleio. Tho coast counties opposed the bill, the representatives saying that it would bo Impossible In wet coun ties near tho ocean to burn slash ings, or accumulated debris of years, and by their persistent light, which for a time endangered the entire hill, an amendment was added that ex cepted Clatsop nnd Tillamook coun ties from the provisions of the bill. Other members wanted Yamhill, Coos, Curry, Sherman, Columbia and Douglas counties respectively except ed from the nctlon of tho proposed law, and for a time the houso was In an uproar, with tho representatives from half a dozen counties offering amendments that would except their districts. Finally Speaker llavey made a separate nmeudment of each county and tho house killed them off one by one until only Clatsop and Tillamook were excepted from the ac tion of thu law. The act will compel the cleaning up of tho forests of Oregon and proh ably cnuso trouble In Coos and Curry counties, where conditions are the isaiuo as In the two counties excepted. MeniborB from these counties pro tested vigorously at tho passage of tho passage of the bill, and It was said to bo class legislation and could not be enforced anyhow. Irrigation illll Killed. By a vote of 31 to 28 the house I Indefinitely postponed S. B. No. 235 nnd left thu Irrigation and water In terests of the Btnto up In the air. This was one of the half dozen Impor tant measures before the legislature. The concensus of opinion was that the opposition was due almost entire ly to tho fear of the corporate Inter ests that a monopoly of water power would bo hnmpered by the passage of tho bill and that Eastern Oregon, the chief section affected, was a unit for the measure. When the bill came up the Multnomah delegation shut off debate by keeping the members to the two-minute debate rule, and rushed through the house the dis cussion of tho bill before the major ity of the members understood what was happening. Tho opposition to the bill refused to let It come up for passage on Its merits, but Indefinitely postponed It. A peculiar thing about It was that Marlon county left Multnomah and stood for tho bill, as did Speaker Du vey nnd several members of the Mult nmah delegation. T,ho Eastern Oregon delegation la Incensed over the result, ulleglng that the bill was killed In the Interests ot a few Portland promoters. PASTOR HAII EVERYBODY AllOl'LD HEAD THAW TRIAL Wichita, Kan., Feb. 20. In a ser mon on morality entitled "Women's Rights," Dr. Johf? Gillespie, pastor of the First M.
