CAMPERS AND FOREST FIRES
Forest Urea are raging in sev
fcral sections of the NorthweBt
sweeping over valuable tracts
f timber and leaving ruin and
waste in their path. The loss
in timber aud other propertj'
runs into the millions each
5'eaiynnd this year it promises
to be unusually large. Isolated
homes in the timber are wiped
out of existence and large towns
are endangered and sometimes
burned when in the path of the
forest fire, and year after year
at this season the newspapers
report the tragedies of the tim
bered sections.
, The origin of the fire is not
always traceable, but in spite ot
the vigilance of the forest rang
era many of the destructive
fires unquestionably are started
through the carelessness ol
campers, who "breaking camp,"
leave the embers of an old fire,
which later being fanned into a
flame by the first breeze, sweeps
through the forest, leaving des
olation and ruin in its wake.
Campers at this season of the
.year, when vegetation is dry
and fire spreads easilj' and rap
idly, cannot exercise too great
care. "When moving camp a
bucket of water, poured upon
the embers of an old fire may
prevent a disastrous conflagration.
ODDS ON MR. TAFT
The national campaign be
gins with Lloyds, the English
iusurance company, offering
odds of six to one on Mr. Taft's
election to the presidency. That
is to say, they are insuring
against the election of Mr.
Bryan at a cost of about 16 for
everv S100 of insurance. And.
the Bryan end of the bet is not
in great demand, even at these
attractive odds, for the election
of the Republican nominee ap
peard as certain at this time a?
things political ever can be.
The countiy is strongly Re
publican, and with the effect?
of the panic of last Fall rapidly
flisappearing, thousands of idle
men going back to work, and
prosperity returning throughout
the country, it is" not likely
there will be a revolution at the
pojls such as would be neces
sary to elect Bryan. Revolu
lions in politics do not occur
under conditions like these.
