cumulations of doaO limbs nnd stuff.
Tho Indians began as the moisture
nnd snow receded, carefully burning
the dry spots ns they appeared In the
spring, after tho Brass nnd fallen
loaves had served their purpose of
conserving the moisture and aiding It
to penetrate tho Soil. Tho burned
places were speedMy covered with
green herbage, furnishing cover for
the ground nesting birds, so that
these weto not extounlnnted nor hin
dered In nesting' and rearing their
broods. This system was described
nnd advocated by .toaquln Miller In a
raper solicited by aud read to the an
nual nicotine of th's American Fores

ronmiends Itself tt nil observers of
nature who understand the necessity
of following her laws and preserving
her equilibrium.

all it can get. It will tako anything
from a spool of thread to a piano. It
will agTee to pay anythlug in the

It-really hopes of meeting the demand
but Its hopes are like the hopes in
drawing the lucky ticket in a lottery
prize. Still, there is hope in the most
hopeless cases.
This class does a great deal of
damage. It fools the business men,
who hope in get returns. But It fi
nally ends by the business men tak
ing back the property and "pinching"
a better class of trade in order, to re
coup for the amount lost.
But in the smaller cities, like Pen
dleton, where prosperity reigns, the
installment man gets in his graft oc
casionally. It is done here on a dif
ferent scale and among what Is con
sidered a better class. It is done by
the foreign merchant, instead of the!
local business man. There are pianos,
sewing machines, typewriters and nu
merous other things sold on the
installment plan.
The gullible patron does not seem
to realize how ".easy" he is. He will
permit the agent to come along and
sell him something on the "easy"
plan at a high price on "easy" pay
ments. He will also take up a cata
log of some distant concern which
shows nice pictures of the articles de
sired and send away and buy it, when
acter in time of war heretofore. It
would doubtless please the operators
if the government would take charge
of tho mines now. They certainly
are not making anything out of them.
hut if the government takes charge
they will receive full compensation
for all of the coal that Is mined by
tho government together with the in
terest and trimmings usually atten
dant upon such claims.
While the town is building up at a
