THE BULL MOOSE CALL
UT from Medford like a trum pet blown to marshal

a trail of standpat ghosts -sounds a call throughout the
valley, like the whistle of a freight, that the Bull Moose

fancy bluster and wind instead of deeds are invited there
to muster and sow the Bull Moose seeds. For progressive
Jackson county must not be le(t behind, but join in and
trust the bounty and the breadth of Teddy’s mind, all our
problems to unravel, with the aid of Perkins’ dough. So
be there when the gavel fails to open up the show.
There’ll be limber Mr. Mulkey, spineless wonder of the
age; with his mouth he’ll not be sulky, but he’ll fume and
rant and rage that the time fo r all good yeomen, whether
pushing pen or plow, for all honest men and women to
get in line i3~now! There’ll be many a discourse windy,
many a peroration fine—Oh, I tell you, Aunt Malindy,
now’s the time for you to jine! For we offer votes to
ladies, because we need their votes, and for raising happy
Hades what’s so good as petticoats? There’ll be Hicks,
whose first name’s Harry, and little Bobbie Ruhl, timid,

same smile he used for Taft; can it be he is beguiling for
another federal g raft? There’ll be Abrams, with zeal
burning for the noble young Bull Moose; wonder for what

then they’ll shout and strive to induce the simple

Forest Fires May

their reports to the state forester are
expressing fear thaQ tefore the season
is ended the state is destined to be
visited with a series of disastrous for­

Several days prior to the opening of
the season, they declare hunters be­
gan to flock into the woods in order
to be on hand on the opening day, and
they exceed by far the number going
out last year. During the last year,
forest fires occasioned by the reckless­
ness of hunters, destroyed vast areas
of valuable timber, and the depart
ment does not Intend to allow a repeti
tion of It this year, for as soon as it
becomes apparent th at fires originate
from the carelessness of hunters, the
state forester will ask the governor to
issue a proclamation declaring the
hunting season closed.
Compared
with last season, the departm ent thus
far has been fortunate as to forest
fires, as but a few minor ones broke
out In May. There were no fires dur­
ing the months of June and July.
