It Is officially announced that the central energy telephone system will be cut In on July 10 and Giants Pass will then have an up-to-date service and In this respect will be the equal of any other city in the coun try. A good telephone service Is all Important and will go far to help In securing other up-to-date chic im provements.

This number U'tll u rntinno1 by the Operator after you so that you may know that you have not been misunderstood. All this Is done and you have your party before you could get central under the present system. Another very Important thing Is that the new system will be more distinct than the present.

B. Cornell, of this city, who Is spending the summer vacation with J. C. Mattison at the, Oriole mine at Gal ice. Carrol had nailed slats across a tall madrone tree and in this man ner formed a ladder which he climb ed to place the stars and stripes in the top of the tree for the 4th of July. When he was about 35 feet up, the board on which he was stand ing gave way and he fell to the ground, breaking both ankles and Injuring his back. The accident oc curred at 7 o'clock. Monday morning and Mr. and Mrs. Cornell were noti fied by telephone and at once left by automobile for Gnlice, taking Dr. Loughrldge with them. Althoueh all possible speed was made, it was 2 o clock In the afternoon before the broken bones were set by Dr. Lough-1 nuge, assisted by Dr. Smith, of Oallce. Carrol Is a bright boy, 13 years of ace. and It was most unfortunate that his patriotism should have caused him so much suffering.

In the face of this, however, fire losses on the National Forests are kept at a point where they are trivi al when compared with the damage wnich would be caused were the lands contained in the National For ests unprotected. Arming for Thieves. During the last few days there has been an active and unusual demand for shot guns and bird shot. It Is noticeable that the buyers are fruit growers and they are acting In con ceit In this matter with a view, It is said, of protecting their orchards against thieves of all sorts.

Since all of these stations win command a view of the country for miles around the work of d0tn.in and extinguishing fires In their In- cipiency will, by this Plan, be greatly expedited, with the result that many thousands of dollars worth of valu able timber will be saved annnallv.
