Green fhijrs have hecn ned for
many years on the rear of trains to
designate to trans in the opposite di
rection and to the engineer of the
train displaying the flag markers, that
the train was intact. This was nec
essary in the days when all of the
cans in trains were not equippou wui
automatic aar brakes. bometime,
l.n llm link and nin coiinl'mes were
in use, a pui would break and a er
would be left behind. There was no
way for the engineer to tell whether
or not he bad nil of his cars with him
unless he could look out of his cab
and see tho green flag waving from
the last coach. All or the cars ot
the Southern Pacific comphny are
now equipped with the automatic air
brakes, which, ir a car should become
detached, htops the train nntomatical-
The lamps that are being used as
markers in place of tho green flag
suffice during the day as well as at
night. During the passage of a train
through a tunnel, miowbIuhIs' or dur
ing foggy weather, they can be eas
ily lighted, but for the major portion
of the daytime trips they remain un
limited. They can be distinguished
hi the engineer with e.o l2il hare
already been found a great improve
ment over the old flag system. Some
few roads in the east have discon
tinued the use of green flags as
markers on some of their suburban
lines, but the Southern Pacific com
pany is the first road to do so ovei
its entire system.

Governor West has received word
from the officers of the Northwest

deal whereby this .state will he fur

the laud show. The .show to he giei
under the auspices of the league is
the only one in the country which i
not a private enterprise and will In
managed in such a way as to furnish
space for offieial exhibits.
At a cost of 10,000 the business in
terest of the three Minnesota citie-
have brought from the league 3,"i00
square feet of preferred space at tin
show. Each of the seven states wil
have a space of fifty feet long and

The governor has been asked lo
confer with officers of the league :i

Under this plan no one community
or city will have an advantage oer
others in the state. Any oily, eountj

independent exhibit will be able to
secure a limited amount of space neai

the name of the state as it K from
such an exhibit that results are to be
obtained.
The seven states which are to br
thus represented are Washington, Or

South Dakota and Minnesota. No
other states will have exhibits nnd
Camdinn exhibits will be barred, the
whold idea of the show being "an ex

benefit of the seven states alone."
Oregon officers of the league are
C. C. Chapman of Portland and Wil

about the Oregon exhibit should be

The kidney secretions were unnat
ural nnd my health steadily run
down until I was hardly able to get
about. While in that condition I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and got n
box nt Haskins' Drug Store. I felt
better from the time I commenced
their use nnd it was not long before
I was cured. I nm in u position to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills high

FIRESJO DATE
About Twenty Fires Have Started
Tills Season but They Have All
Been Brought Under Control With
Small Loss.
At this time last year in every
direction heavy forest fires in the
Crater national forost were raging.
So far this year all serious fires have
been checked within threo days and
so far the amount of damage donu
has been very small. This is duo to
a greator degree of vigilance on tho
part of tho rnngorn and forest offi
cios made possible by an increase In
the number of guards and rnngers
employed. A small flro was report
ed Saturday In the neighborhood of
Dead Indian, but this has been !
brought under control. j
Jt is estimated by tho forestry of-

but they l-cvni to bo exercising great
er caro iu regaril to fires. To date
about 20 blues have started, but
they were all soon under control.
From this time until the end of
September tho wntch for fires will
be constant and it Is believed that
southern Oregon will escape a repe
tition of last year's loss.
