Spring Oolonlit Travel llrenks All Previous Uncords. Chicago, Juno .- During t,,11,,r'' period between March 1 and April In, this spring, between 40,000 and 60,000 colonists, according to tho various rail road mniingurs, found now homes In tho Paclllo Northwest, In California, Idaho. Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado ami Wyoming. Tho spring movement of colonists Is reganled as having Kronen mo recum of tho spring of IIHIU by from 16 to 20 per cent. With tho exception of fig ures which wore prepared by thu man agement of tho llarrlman lines, all fig ures of tho colonist movement Into tho Northwest are estimates. The flg tires presented by tho llarrlman lines may bo regarded as conservative and as tml ns; close to the nrtunl movement. Corresponding figures over the Bur lington, tho Northern Pacific and the Great Northern could not bo obtained, ns no detailed account Is mado of such movement. The figures of tho Har rtman lines show that during tho six weeks of the spring movement a total of 10,642 ixirsons found homes In the various states and territories men tioned. During tho same period of 1009 only 13,1147 colonists moved through tho various gateways fed by tho llarrlman roads. This Is an In crease for the six weeks of 2,696 col onists, or approximately 10 xir rent. This comparison, however, does not toll tho wholo story, as tho movement during 1909 continued 14 days longer than tho present movement, Reduced rates were In effect last year from March 1 to April 30, For some reason unexplained tho railroads decided this year to reduce tho colonist period from two months to six weeks. According ly, comparison can be mode, only bo tween tho entire period this year ami the corresponding six weoka of tho olght weeks' period of 1009. Tho In crease In tho total movement of the entire orIod this year was not suffi cient, however, to mako tho move ment greater than Uiat of last year. FARMERS QUIDCD IN LOVE.

Tho naval board which conducted the test holds that tho brake, which re sembles a barn do)r on 'cither side of tho ship, .would soon becomo clown! wiui oarnacies unless constantly em ployed. It would also Increase tho danger from torpedo attack, bo a grave menaco in close evolutions ami retard the speed of the ship. Portland, Ore., Juno 7. Realizing that with thu burning of every thou sand feet of standing timber thorn Is loss of labor amounting to $h, that slumnago values dec run no $2, and l0 railroads sco tho vanishing of tonnajte which ennnnt Iki replaced for many years, tho necessity of adopting safety measures for thu pruvenllott of the re lietltlon of tho fires of 1902 has led to the organization of several cooHratlvo associations. Oregon ami Washington In J002 helplessly watched tho gigantic ronfia grntlons which wp nut a largo amount of thu vlslbto assets of tho state, and also resulted In the destruc tion of two towns, Kprlngwater, Or., ami Brush Prairie, Wash., moro than 20 lives being lost. That flru occurred In a dry season In tho mountains, (nral was only une of tho many which raged along the Cas cades and adjacent ranges. It Is said by timber cruisers ami mlllmen from the upper waters of the rivers of tho two states that the year 1010 Is thus far a duplicate of the conditions which made posslblo tho losses of that ec. son. Anticipating tho danitcr which U sura to exist, an effective system of pa trol Is being placed In operation, the railroads, timber owners, state and county organizations Joining with tho forest service In an endeavor to pre vent tho occurrence of fires ami to con trol those which may bo started. Many of the Uro railroads on tho Coast have begun clearing their rights of woy of all Inflammable material fur a distance of 100 feet on either side of tho center of the track.JequlppInK their engine vilth spark arrcsttrs and In structing train crews and employes In fire fighting. Sparks from railroad en gines have proved tho greatest cause of fires, ami are followed by donkey en gines, hunters' and campers' fires, mill smokestacks ami Ik-htnlpir. Ono of I ha destructive fires of the Coos Bay re gion was caused by a settlor knocking tho ashes from his pipe among the Atr leaves ami twigs beside a log on which ho was resting. An effort will bo rnado to keep In touch with slash burnlnira mule hv settlers ami to warn all persons enter ing tho forrats of this state of the ne cessity of exercising car In handling fire. The forest lands are now plaster ed with warning signs. in this manner it Is hoped to save the tremendouus valued which am be coming available with the dovelonmnnt of railroads. Timber sections which at one tlmo sold In Oregon for $600 havo recently changed hands for as much as $160,000. On that basla the prevention of forest fires becomes s matter of stern business, MISS MORGAN OBSERVER Hair Cut From Corpse's. Victoria, B.
