The recent forest tires in the North
west have demonstrated that green
timber is more or less in danger of burn
ing during the dry time of year, and
speculators who have invested their
money in tindier lands have become
somewhat nervous as there is no way of
insuring standing trees. The damage to
timber was more noticeable in Western
Washington than in Oregon, but it
brought a realization of the risk to many
who had invested without previous
thought of Hie.
In the very driest portion of the year,
which is usually the latter part of July
or the beginning of August, the moss in
the trees of Western Oregon and Wash

The Japanese government has ordered
the destruction of the city of leek
ham, Formosa, and the removal of all
its inhabitants to a new location. The
city is situated» on the northwest coast
of the island, and has been frequently
subjected to pestilence. In 1896 and
1897 plagues visited Teckhain with
enormous fatality. This fact being

ment. an investigation was ordered by
sanitary experts, who reported that
the city was built upon a swamp, where
upon an order was issued to the gov

the natural conditions were healthful.

and sidewalks, public buildings, water
works and all other public improve
ments were laid out by the government
in the new city without expense to the
people, but they were required to pay
the cost of the removal of their own
property. Most of the houses and other
buildings in Teckham are built of very
light wooden material.
