Disarming a I'aseen Foe.
"This was sometime a paradox," as
Hamlet says. Since, 'however, tke
people cf America and ether laads
have been enabled to pit Hestetter's
Stcmah Bitters against that unseea
foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox,
but an easy possibility.. Whatever
malaria evolves its misty venera t
poison tbe air, and decaying una hole
some vegetation impregnater . the
water, there, in the very btrangkald
of miasma, is tbe auxiliary potent tta
disarm the foe and assure eficieat I
protection. Fever and ague, biliest
remittent, dumb &ue andague cake,
no matter bow tenaciously they have
faslenef their clutch on tbe system,
are tirst forced to relax . their grap
and eventually to abandoa it alto
gether. But it i' preventive force
that should chiefly recommend the
Bitters to persons dwelling in malaria
cursed localities, tor 4t is a certaia

enemy .s powerless. Cures, likewise,

never to be ruined; it should be en-
I haticed by appropriations to beuticial
uses. 1 he wealth of a country ami
its grandeur and beauty is in its
torests upon mountaiu tops and
slopes, equally as its picturesquencss
is in landscapes and valley scenes; in
its sparkling streams and noble
rivers; in its majesty of towering
snow peaks aud its lovely rales. All
are comprised in the sublimity of
Nature.
Oregon is endowed beyond the
average of States with magnificent
f-rests of best lumbering qualities.
She has the world before her as a
market. The supply is inexhausti
unless through wanton destruction at
home. The traffic is a source of
wealth; an important agency in com
merce and enterprise, fhe protec
tion of the State to guard this in
estimable wealth is required. Tho
Legislature enacts laws to protect
other property, to protect lands and
houses aud individual rights. Hut
the Legislature of Oregon should
enact a law to save her forest from
this wanton annual destruction. TLe
scoundrel who tires a hay-rick is
punished by just imprisonment; but
the individual who tires a f 01 est is
free to do so. There should be a stop
to this, and an adequate penalty l
every offender. The Legislature cau
provide and the Courts should enforce.
In the late summer of every yc.r
t!m mountain forestr are aflame, ami
all the valleys are suffused with the
smoky atmosphere which makes the
geuial warmth of the sun insufferable
by the sultry heat of the burning
forests. These forests conflagrations
are made bv camping parties wtio go
into the woody retreats to enjoy the

makes his own clearing without a

with perhips the life of au inmate, i
in fact an incendiary, and the crime
of arson, in its just degree, should be
charged against him. This tiring of
forests is usually done as tuougbt-
lessty and as recklessly as is the tiring
of the "1 didn't know it was loaded

: Oregon sutlers by it iu other ways
thau the destructions of the trees a
loss of actual wealth beyon i human
calculation. Oregon is now tho
cyuocure of the world in attractive
cess, with natural wealth and un
bounded resources combiaed. The
river of all the world is here the
majestic Columbia. Less renowned,
but lovely, as Juno was to Zeus joined,
is the Willamette. Above, the rivers
of the Lewis and Clark the Suake
and the Clearwater ia confluence
contribute to swell th volunio'.of the
mighty .river ta which the tirst of
American peels has dedicated the im
perishable hue: "Where rolls the
Oregon." From every state ot the
East; f the far Atlantic coast; iron
Eoroue; from Australasia; tourist
are coming every year to visit Oregon.
This vast empire of tb northwest is
absorbing the attention f the en
lightened world. There is no country
comparable to it.
In its peerless empire of soil it con
tains the greatest f ruitfulness of pro
ducts and the richest deposits of min
erals. Crowning thtse. upon the
mouutain tops, are the magnb cent
forests, surpassing any on the globe.
But when tourists come to Oregon to
view all this grandeur aud beaut) in
stead of its native freshness, pare and
transparent as the snow-bied waters
of the mountains, they Hud a stifbtig,
scoring atmosphere, in which tuey
grope with watery eyes ami gasping
breath until they fairly wish tney
had staid in the buroinc air of Illinois
or Louisiana, or anywhere out of
such a suffocating fog as this.
This is the building of idle
fancy, bnt a picture of practical ob
servation. The forest fire is a rtlie of barbar
ism that should be wiped out. The
sacrifice should be topped. The
people demand it.
