The Siskiyou forest reserve, admin istered by Supervisor Fromme from the Grants Pass office, enibraos 1 -94,250 arres. During the season of Are hazard, twenty-four men patrol this vast wild, ready to take prompt action toward tlu? suppression of fires, and whenever a fire does occur, to thoroughly Investigate its origin 'and prosecute the offender if it was caus ed by carelessness on the part of campers or travelers. Of these 24 men, seven are year long, or district, rangers, and three are nine-months assistant rangers. The reserve Is divided Into seven dis tricts, each In charge of one of the district rangers. These- rangers, with their present stations, are as follows: W. B. Hilbury, MaoGribble Rang er Station, postoffice Tort Orford. R. I. Helm, Shasta Costa Ranger Station, postoffice Agnes. H. N.

On days of little fire risk the guards are finding It possible to brush out and regrade many 0f the old mountain trails, clear and-fence high pasture areas for summer rang ier station purposes, assist in measur- ing of trails and posting of signs and iinile posts, and in the construction of log store houses for fire fighting tools and supplies. Supervisor Fromme instructs that jln rase of fir within or threatening ;the boundary of the national forest, the nearest ranger or guard should ! be promptly notified, or a telephone tall sent in "collect" to the forest ; supervisor at Grants Pass. The na tional government is spending many thousands of dollars in the protection of timber lands within the national forests of Oregon, and in co-operation with the state for the protection of the lands outside the reserves, and the further ( o-operation of every cit- PAGK THREE izen of the state is desired oward the elimination of carelessness in the use cf camp fires, burning slashings, etc. The country has suffered enough In the past because of old Indian fires, and through the thoughtless ness of the early white men. Logging slashings must be piled and burned, or in some places lopped and scattered close to the ground, but the wild timber, old and young, is ''i'-'! protected without the agency of fire in any form. Brushy mountaiu slopes and ride in this locality are the result of repeated fires, and are not at all natural. In most of these rather desolate looking brush areas, however, a fair to heavy stand of young timber is coming on, the value of the new growth depending some what ou'the number of the old fires, and the quantity of organic matter they have left In the soil. If pro tected, such areas will constitute fu ture forests of Immense value, and the brush will be gradually killed out by the faster and higher growth of these species, soil and moisture con ditions made better, and the fire risk areatly lessened.

Stand ing firm for American control of the Panama canal, which he declared was built by American dollars and should be absolutely fr?e, so far as Americans are concerned, Senator Jones cf Washington today delivered his views on the matter lu the sen ate. He said in part: "The I'nited States owns a strip of territory across the Isthmus of Panama, 10 miles wide. It is ours by reason of grant from the Republic of Panama; no one disputes our title and no one can dispute it. Over it rlies the Hag of the republic, repre senting the sovereignty and propri etorship of the uation. ''Through and across the strip of territory and wholly within its lim its, we are building with our people's money and will soon have completed, a great canal through which will pass much of the world's commerce. This canal will be built by us and by our tuony. It will be operated by us. We will protect It. It Is ours, our nation owns It. Can we say how we shall use It? That Is the question which meets us at the threshold in this hill. I have no doubt as to what the American people think about it. It has never entered tlu-ir mind that this government could not use its own property and deal with Its own people us It saw fit without ask ing the consent of another govern ment of people. "The United States says not to herself, but to the nations of the world, 'You may use this canal if you observes the rules,' "The Fulled States stands on one side as the maker of these rules. Tine oilier nations of the earth are those who stand on the other side ami who are to observe the rules and for whose observance the rules au made. "The treaty provides that 'vessels of war of n belligerent shall not re victual, except so far as may be sub tly necessary, In the canal.' Does any one suppose for a moment that n war vessel of the I'nited States going through the ranal could not revlctual to any extent desired, even though the I'nited States might be at war with some other nation? Is It pos slble that there Is territory under tho stars and stripes In which our w ar vessels can not stop to revlctual? I cannot think so. Our people will never admit It. "Again, It Is provided "vessels of war of a belligerent shall not remain in such water f referring to waters adjacent to the canal within three marines miles of either end) longer than 24 hours at any one time ex'ept In case of distress. "Were these rules made to .np'i'." to vessels of the I'nited States? It is unthinkable that we would agree to a treaty that requires our war ships to leave our own territory within 24 hours and yet that is what we have done If any oilier construc tion Is given to the treaty. Foreign countries never hesitate to protect their own. Foreign statesmen deem It their duty to promote, the Inter ests of their own citizens rather than those of other people. They assert their own claims ratlier than the rights of others. We will do like wise. We will observe our treaties with scrupulous honor, but we will in sist upon our rights with unyielding firmness. The title to our territory, the Integrity of our Sovereignty, will be maintained at any cost. The American people will le fair. Just and Impartial toward the nations of the earth, but interference In the con trol of their domestic affairs and their treatment of their own people will not be tolerated. When we sur render to a foreign power the right to determine the treatment we shall accord to our own citizens, then we have surrendered the nation's strength, and we will become a 'hiss ing and a by-word' among the na tions of the earth." u PURC Dili' Lve reach v h.mr mraiiM I CONCF.N from the ajr when exposed for a time and loses its strength.
