Some peoole thought the dealers had entered Into a combine tlon to keep prices up. This maj or may not have been true, but ft happens that Den Moines has a may or who inut know a little more than the avernge public ollielal. He wahted no lime in appointing a commission (ft Investigate the why and where fore, lie did not threaten law unltH or proncf ut Ion under the an It-trust law. "If price are higher than they should Ih- in an- opti, unreHtrlcted market," he figured. "then there mint be Home restrictions on trade which should be removed." So be acted accordingly. He removed the restrict ion that kopt hucksters and ot hi'vn from selling their wares In public places. That did the work. According to press reports prices of food muffs fell 40 per cent In IVs Moines. No combinations were or dered to flla; olvo. No fines were lev led on any one for "engaging In a coiiHpiraiy In unreasonable restraint of trade." No lawyers earned any fnes. Natural law did the work and that law needs no In terpretatlon by learned judges. It Is a pity that the mayor of Inn Moines Is not In a p"-!!!';:i whe"" he might let some dis tinguished ofhVlals In Washington have the benefit of his counsel. SniMKR TOI IUSTM OPIMON.

Editor Newft( After a three t months' (Mihtf ul camping exper ience In the foot-hills of the Cas cr(1"h, where scenery uiiHiiritasuwl j dnllKhu lie eyo, I wonder more jlhnn ever tliHt tourlHtH do not nee i Arnertcu firm, for certainly even ; Knrope does not Hfford a greater j 'variety of nioiintaln jieakH or ruHh- Iiik wnters than are found in this 1 vicinity. t With dawn's first beamtf the mints, hi ureat white clouds, alowly rise.1, bringliiH Into view the green tipped; summits as they plerr-e the nky. Bun-' set. with Its rich, warm, coloring lln-1 gen In the west, while the cumper makes ready his camp Are. Mfe has been "real and earnest" around Uock ('reek this Hummer, for forcHt Area have raged near by and many camping panlea have been de layed because of the unsafe condi tion of the trails. "A prophet la not without honor, save In hia own country." and, con sequently, we hear rumors of mis management, 'hobo Are fighters, " etc. On the contrary, being on the scene of activity, seeing the guards and rangers coming and going, I have been greatiy lmprc8edi with tho expeditious and thorough work of the Forestry aervlce. It has been an every-day occur rence to see a tired ranger and his pack horse wearily coming up the trail for Bitppllea or orders from heiidquartera, having ridden steadily for fourteen hours without stopping even for food. Maybe be has come down to report mother Are, and almost by magic, the day -brlnga -a wagmi load of husky, hearty fellows who, under the leadership of capable rangers, are sent out to extinguish the Are and thereby save life and property. Lute one evening a party of six teen arrived at Iloaglin unexpected for supper. In a abort while they were tucked away In the hay until breakfaHt was served at '.I a. ni. By I a. m. each man. armed with pick find ahovei, had started on his morn ing walk of eighteen miles or more. These fellowa may or may not be "hoboes," but the slgnlflcent fact re mains that the fires are all extln guiHhed, and one by one the men are reluming to draw their well-earned pay, nearly all of them vowing that never again will they work so hard or run such risks even for 25 cents per hour. Wo can not wonder nt this when we atpp to realize the dangers ln mirred. A foreman with six or eight muscular fellows Is given chargo of one fire, and that means digging trenches or back-flrlug a certain area as quickly as poKHlble If they would not he hemmed In by the flames. At any time a burning tree may fall over a ledge, or into the trull, endangering the guard zealous ly at work. Ho now all Is sereno once more, thunka to Uncle Sam's policy of 'muring no expense or labor to pro tect It fe nnd property. And com ing down 'to the North Umpqua Ares, let us give to Mr. 8. C. Bartrum. uiporvlsur of the Itoaeburg forestry, ofllco, full credit for It in quiet. I in;sii)Hs-l1ke way of managing Hres, uid lire fighters hh welt. Next summer the fires will bo con ' rolled even more quickly, owing to 'he construction of a telepphone line Tom (Jlidu into the reserve and the 'milillng of wire-covered supply boxes four miles apart.
