Senator Hotslaw of Illinois" says he would rather be a boodler than a liar. But why be either? After she Rets through lambasting T. R. Great Britain will no doubt continue to rule Egypt as she pleases. A New Jersey couple walked forty miles to get married, which shows just how far some people will go to hunt for trouble The price of carrots has slumped, but still there are many people who wouldn't oat carrots even if they were being given away. OU as a fuel for warships is said to be n Euccess, and John D. Rocke feller thus reaps the harvest of the victories of both peace and war. President Taft's suit case was lost for a time tho other day and there was great anxiety. He wears out so many that ho can't afford to lose any. San Francisco wants to take its drinking water from the Hatch Hetchy. What recklessness! Water with that name could easily bo sold in bottles. Senator Aldrich says he is going to becomo a farmer, but he will find it necessary to have a knowledge of something more than tho watering of stock. Men in the- American navy are hewing less tobacco than formerly, possibly having becomo discouraged by tho absence of sidewalks on tho wasty deep.

Ono difference between an aero plane and a submarino is that tho former very often comes down too fast while tho latter occasionally stays down too long. AS TO FOREST FIRES. L. 13RTCKSON, supervisor in charge, Crater National forest, has completed his arrangements to carefully M. guard the forest from any great loss this season by t'iro, and will endeavor to keep his record up to its standard of last year, when the Crater forest suffered a smaller loss in this regard than any in the northwest, But in order to do this he must have the support of all who enjoy the camping privileges in the forest, for the camp fire is the chief cause of forest fires fires which in a year destroyed on an average $40,000,000 worth of timber in the United States. Along this lino the Oregon Journal receutly published some startling truths when it said: One of the most splendid of all the resources of Oregon is the forests. The five states of Idaho, Montana, Wash ington, Oregon and California contain half the merchant able timber of the United States, and in the group Oregon is a leading state as to forests. The presence of Oregon forests is heightened by the fact that the climatic and soil conditions are the best in the world for timber growth. This enables the state to excel other states in the timber industry, and it is an incentive to Oregon to husband her forests because of the enormous advautage it will give her in the creation of wealth and the enrichment of population. The lumber production of the five states is one-fifth that of the entire country and is increasing. It already brings in $125,000,000 a year, chiefly in the wages for labor, and this great sum goes into circulation among the people. It is an incomparable asset for the production of wealth and one that is of the utmost importance to hus band and conserve. The subject is one for reflection on account of the near approach of the season for forest fires. It is estimated that the destruction of timber by fire annually aggregates $40,000,000. It is literally $40,000,000 a year in money con verted into ashes. It is the toll we pay for carelessness. Hunters throw away a half consumed match, travelers leave smoldering embers in their campfires and settlers permit fires lighted in slashings to get beyond control. It is as destructive and costly a waste as would be a torch deliberately applied to a $40,000,000 city. The black smoke rolling up from the forests is as ugly in contemplation as though it were the smoke from burning bank bills. It is a waste than can be almost wholly prevented with average care of those who frequent the forests. There is not one of them who would think of throwing a burning match on the carpet or among the hangings of a home. But such a match thrown in the dry rubbish of the timber is the des truction of many homes. In consequence of the murders des cribed, a spirit of alarm necessarily spread itself throughout the country. The miners of tho Applegate, Foots and other creeks abandoned their pla ces and come into Jacksonville for protection. The settlers In various directions did the same, of those who were better prepared, "forting up," with the intention of resisting the Indian's attacks. Tho people who thus prepared to defend themselves were gathered mainly at T'Vault's place, (the Dardanelles), N. C. Dean's (Willow Springs),. Martin Angell's, now Captian Barnes, and Jacob Wag ner's, in Upper Bear creek valley. As soon as possible a military com pany was formed in Jacksonville, hav ing Ben Armstrong as captain, and John P. Miller, B. B. Griffith and Able George as lieutenants and C. E. Drew as quartermaster. But within a few days this organization was sus pended by orders, a company of home guards taking most of tho men. This latter company was under the com mand of W. W. Fowler. A largo pro portion of the houses outside of Jack sonville were deserted by their own ers, and these were mostly burned by roving parties of the savages, who were scattered for a few days all over the valley. The people were compelled to seek assistance from wherever it may be procured and w'th this view dispatch ing messengers to Fort Jones, tho newly established military post near Yreka, Tho messenger arrived there on the eighth of August, and Captian B. R. Aldon, 4th U. S. Infantry, com manding Fort Jones, Instantly set out for tho scene of hostilities with a very small force of Infantry, not moro than twenty men all told, but with forty or fifty muskets, and a supply of cartridges. Simultaneously a large number of volunteors presented them selves at Yreka and agreed to serve under tho command of Captain J. P. Goodall and Jacob Rhoades, well known as Indian fighters. Captain Goodall's company numbered nlnoty men, all mounted, as were those of Rhoades' company, which was about sixty stroug. Unfortunately tho must er rolls of theao two companies havo been lost, so that It Is impossible to present tho nam.es of tho members. Of Captain Goodall's company a par tial list only Is glvon which will bo IHDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Waiting's History of Southern Oregon.) be found in an appropriate place. The volunteers raised in Southern Oregon were six companies In all, hav- Jlng as captain, R. L. Williams, J. K. Lamertck, John F. Miller, Ellas A. Owens, and W. W. Fowler. Thoy were ordered with the exception of Fowler's company, which was raised exclusively for the protection of Jack sonville, and which did no outside ser vice to rendezvous at Camp Stewart. An organization was hero effected and the troops, the most formidable, and numerous body of men yet seen in this part of Oregon, assumed the som blaume of an army. Each volunteer furnished, as a matter of course, his own riding animal and equipments. A quartermaster's department was ex temporized for tho occasion, and B. F. Dowell became master of equipments and transportation. Captain Aldon, which of the volunteers assumed com mand of tho whole force, whoso num ber probably reached thrco hundred men. All tho volunteers were of course without uniforms, wearing nearly their ordinary clothes, and car rylng rifles and pistols as dissimilar In pattern as their own garments. Their saddlo animals were horses and mules. It would be difficult to con ceive a body of soldiers more irregu lar in typo than tho "army" at Camp Stewart; but it would oqually fighting In a rough country or for that reason in any country.Tho sequel of tho short campaign which thoy carried on showed conclusively that with ener getic and reliable commanders they were capable of tho greatest services. Tho successful issuo of their expedi tion it would Beem wns duo to tho on orgy and vigor with which tholr load ers moved upon tho foe, and having founl him, fought htm relentlessly. Meanwhile, tho malcontents who wore scatteroJ about tho valley doing much damago in tho way of burning houses, barns, fences, etc., loft that employment and sought security with Joo, Sam and other chiefs, who woro gathered at Table Rock, making what preparations thoy could against tho threatened attack of tho whites, Thoy selected a naturally strong position and fortified it with considerable skill, digging a ditch, rearing a wall of rocks and earth, and othorwlso strongthlng tho place, Thoy woro re ported to bo In a strong forco, num bering not less than .100, and consist- ItiK of Uo Tnblo ltock Immt, and tho Htibattllnry Immls of Jim and ,luko, of tho Uutto Crook Indians, with tho Ap- plogntcs ami a fow Clrnvu Crooks. Those minor Immls had boon worse tluoatoncil by tho whites than tho Tnblo ltock Trlbo, and In coiiBoquouco, woro much worse nffootod toward thorn, and as a result, thoy ontorori Into tho couitiiK contest with alacrity. Tho attitude of Tin Tyco was a subject of anxiety to tho endunuorod whites, but much to their surprise, tho Indians retrained entirely from hostilities throughout tho war, which would hitvo boon though a flno op portunity tor his hntrod to vout Itself. Hut ho kept aloof from cither party, doubtless fearing the whites less than tho defection of tho lukewarm chiefs, Sam and Joo. Tho cucagotnont which lasted three-quarters of nu hour, was 'closely contested, and bravely and skillfully fought. Tho Indians, hotter sheltered than the whites,, met with a heavier loss, as they acknowledged five killed and wounded. Tho soldi (By A. C. Hewlett.)
