FOREST FIRE
SITUATION IS
MUCH BETTER
Rain Aids In Extinguishing Flames in
Oregon and Washington Idaho Is
Still Suffcrlnq on Pine Creek
Much Damage Reported as Result
PORTLAND, Or., July 23. He
ports from the firo-swept districts of
the Pncific northwest early today
show thnt tho forest fire situation
k&B improved generally.
In Idaho the Pine Creek fire con
tinues to rage with .unabated fury.
The fire has doubled back and has
crossed the east and west forks of
Pine creek. A light wind has aided
tho flames in their advance into the
timber.
A hundred men, direct by forestry
fficials, are fighting the fire. Ac
cording to reports from the Elk City
district, rains have fallen and prac
tically all tho smaller fires have been
extinguished.
The fire in the white pine belt, in
the vicinity of Bertha Hill, has been
surrounded and is now controlled.
Other fires in tho Cleanvater dis
trict have subsided.
A large fire is reported to be burn
ing in the Grouse Creek, Wash., dis
trict, 50 miles north of Spokane. Ac
cording to dispatches from Spokane,
several sections of timber land have
been burned over, doing heavy dam
age.. The fires in tho Gray's Harbor dis
trict have subsided materially on ac
count of the rains, which drenched
the moss. The danger is not over
and it is predicted that with clear
weather the smouldering fires will
hreak out anew.
In Oregon rain has relieved the
situation to a degree. Many of the
smaller fires in the Coast mountains
were quenched or reduced to incon
sequcntal conflagrations.
The big fire on the North Santiam
river, in Linn county, is reported to
be dying out, although hot coals in
every portion of the burned area of
three square miles need only a slight
wind to cause them to jump into a
destructive blaze again.
SIGHTING THE
GOLDEN GATE
A ship is homeward bound and as
it nenrs the homeland all eyes are
straining for tho first glimpse of
land. The ship is bound for San
Francisco and nil at once a voice
cries out, "I saw it!" and hundreds
Btrnin their eyes and ask "Where?"
Down in tho dining sann it was
a can of "Golden Gate coffee," and
tho party who but a moment before
shouted, "I saw it!" was only jok
inir. Many turn away angry to think
that such a small jest could bt put
at such an anxious moment.
In a littlo while the Golden Gute
is sighted and all hearts are light.
Tho same condition will reign in
your family if you use Golden Gate
brand of coffee. It is the best.
Allen & Reagan sell it.

Erstwhile Sweetheart's Letters to
the Press Says He Has No
Thought of Blackmail, But Loves
NEW YOKK, July 23. Saying
that on the second day of their ac
quaintance, Miss Helen Woodruff
Smith, the Stamford, Conn., heiress,
spoke of his beautiful, ears, and that
he fell for it; declaring that ho still
loved her and was willing to marry
her, Russell Griswold, to whom tho
girl yesterday referred as a "nasty
little turncoat." today gave more of
her letters to tho newspapera.
"0 course I love her," Griswold
explained, "and always will. She
was my first love. She was married
when she first made love to me. I
was only 18 years of age when we
first mot. On the second day of our
acquaintance she spoke of my beau
tiful ears, mouth and nose, and I fell
for it.
"When Helen was divorced she
feared these letters would fall into
someone's hands and she proposed a
love bonfire. She and I were to be
guests, each to bun, the other's let
ters. I refused, because I wanted
tho letters to console me when she
was away.
"Then she jilted me for another.
Now she accuses me of blackmail.
There never was a money considera
tion between us. I love her for her
self." Most of the letters today bcyin,
"Dear Russell, my forget-me-not,"
"Dear Little Russie," and "Russell,
My Dear Boy."
"Sent you liebesgruss in the form
of a bouquet, but it wasn't half
enough," said one letter. "I have
been wondering why I have not
heard from you and have not seen
you. I thought you were busy, not
dreaming you were sick. Poor little
kid."
"How are you, and how are your
affections?" says another. "Is the
coil working f I'm on this end, if
vou'll send me a wireless. A million
kisses from your own 'Bnmhilde'."
READ THE RECEIPTS
Have you read tho cooking receipts
in the Medford Ladies' Cook Book?
Did you notice that they called for a
certain kind of flour?
In order to have perfect success
in cooking one should follow the let
ter of the receipt and use Blue Rib
bon flour. Medford Indies handed
in the receipts that went into the
best cook book over offered for sale
in this city. Tho ladies certainly
know that their receipts were per
fect. Why? Because they had tried
them time and again and proven them
to be so. They have used Blue
Ribbon flour for a long, long time
and have always found it sntisfac
handle the Blue Ribbon brand und
guarantee every sack.
CHIEF DELAY III
One of the chief delays in build
ing a residence has been the poor
condition of inside finishing lumber
when delivered by tho lumber yards,
und planing mills, which necessitated
much hand work by tho carpentors
hi properly preparing same for tho
paintors. This is not only very ex
pensive to the contractor or builder,
but moans u great delay in tho con
struction. The Big Pines Lumber company
have eliminated all this by installing
a sauding machine, which has triple
drums and 42-iuch capacity. To
witness the operation of this machine
is sufficient to causo one to realize
that a long-felt want has been filled.

BRINGING VALLEY
T
(Ashland Tidings.)
C. A. Malboeuf, publicity manager
of the Commercial club, was in tho
city early this week, talking over tho
situation with Secretary Frobach
with a view of introducing concerted
action throughout the valley in re
gard to publicity work. Tho time is
past for allowing petty jealousies lo
enter into the general publicity cam
paign. There may bo a difference of
opinion in respect to minor mutters,
subject to local conditions, but as to
the mam proposition the towns of
the entire valley should pull together,
and there is really no reason why
such a result may not quickly bo re
alized. If Ashland. Medford and
Grants Pass are ultimately to bo
linked by trolley, tho sooner they
pool their main issues the better.
They wil set the pace and tho smaller
communities will inevitably follow.
Mr. Malboeuf reports quite a re
adjustment of features regarding
tin publicity propaganda now being
Diished in Medford. Ho devotes
himself nhnost exclusively to the ex
ploitation phase, while a competent
assistant attends to the cloricnl
work. Contributions are also sys
tematically adjusted, as an instnnoo
of this feature the four leading
banks of the town respectively con
tribute $500, $400, $300 and $200
per annum for publicity purposes.
