LONG TIME­
HOT ASHES ARE DANGEROUS—
OWNERS
OF
FIRE
MAY BE SUED FOR DAMAGES
( Calling the attention of the im-
int/ite danger of carelessness in
bti mg trash and building outside
fi:• during the present dry weather,
Chi-d Coates yesterday remarked
about one of the vacant lots near
the renter of the city.
It seems that some time ago slab
wood was piled upon this lot and
that after the wood was removed a
quantity of bark and refuse was
left on the ground. In some unac­
countable manner, probably by a
Cigarette or match, this bark was
ignited and had been burning for
the past three weeks. The fire does
not burn on the surface of the
ground but underneath and appears
on the surface only in patches here
and mere. Two weeks ago the fire
department with the help of the
Boy Scouts wet down the ground tn
this lot with the intention of put­
ting the fire out but it is still burn-
ing.
The small blaze that called the
1 firemen out early Tuesday morning
I was caused by dumping hot ashes
, near a small chicken coop.
[ A recent opinion handede down
I by the Attorney General and also
[ supported by deslsions was that in a
case u here any Individual had been
warned by the fire marshall of a
fire hazard and failed to correct
this hazard, that in case of damage
by fire resulting from this condition
the responsible Individual could be
sued for damages. Under this law
local fire chiefs have the same
authority as the state fire marshall
in declaring a fire hazard.

Berry J. Sisk, a young man who is
physically handicaped for life, has
written a special March which he
has published to help the cause of
the American Legion.
Its title Is "Armistice Day For-

Berry wants to raise a fund of

i fail to be impressed with the vast
amount of potential power that ex­
ists in these turbulaut streams.
Knowing the economies and the
vast savings in operating costs of a
hydro electric plant I became im­
pressed with the Idea that the local
powier company was failing to take
advantage of these natural resources.
So thinking to do them a favor 1
made a list of the different localities
that seemed in my mined to offer
the best posu'Nlities for devclopo-
ment and armed with the assuiance
of superior knownlje oil tho tub-
ject, I called on the manager of the
Coast Power Company to show h:m
how it was pissibis io reduce costa
and consequently reduce electric
rates.
I immediately began my attack by
asking the manager if he realized
the immense amount of power that
was available without any great cost.
He replied that be certainly did
not but was vitally interested in
anything that would tend toward
lower costs and rates.
Then I began naming the differ-
ent power sites I had noted. While
I was doing this he drew a large
file of reports from his desk and
then said, "Your mistake In this
matter is one that is quite common
and one that I hear quite often.
Now let us take your list as it
stands. The best location you have
noted is the Trask at the Peninsula.
That location has been thoroughly
investigated several times. At low
water there are 106 second feet of
water. From this deduct 1-3 for a
fish ladder and seepage. With a long

of our present requirements, yet
this would require a very large ln-
itial investment. The other site you
have noted in order of value would
be the Wilson River North and
South Forks and the Nehalem. These
others you list are worthless except
for farm plants or small llghting
leads.
These locations are well known to
us and these reports are detailed
records of the flow of water, fall
of the streams, possible sites for re­

of $900.000.
