The Ketchum part il fine and gar.
Where Joslyn meete to preach and pray,
And points the way TO heaven
The Haley part IL full Of holes.
A refuge for those damned souls
Whose sins are not forgiven old DAD.
The foregoing poetical effusion OF 'Old
Dad" is illustrative Of the situation en-
countered by TINT practical and benevo-
lent old poet and shows very imphati-
cully the comparative enterprise OF
the two towns. Old Dad like many
others goes to HALEY 10 get to come
back to Ketchum for II cheers his
heart to drive into town OF
industrial concord. He frowns
ut the reluctance and stagnation of that
burg, and wonders why two creations SO
unlike are ever permitted to get SO close
together under Gods Kingdom. He
comes TO Ketchum mnch as the ancient
Romans fed from scenes Of iniquity to
temples OF the Gods where d peaceful
serenity might be found to give their
souls rest. Old Dad Is partial to Ketch-
Vim. That sticks way out. And we are
proud Of so celebrated parsonage.
He says he will stall his mules in Ketch-
nm in the near future lest whirl- wind
Of perfidy inspires their heels to acts Of
unwonted treachery.

The Yellowstone ExeelIed.

The wonders Of the Yellowstone re-
gion are said to be rivalled. If rot ex-
ceIied, by the recent discoveries of Prof
Pumpeiiy's surveying party in northern
Montana. The region explored is
around the upper Marias Pass, west of
the Rocky Mountain range. Aside from
the mountain scenery. there are three
great natural amphitheatres, in one of
which Professor Pumpelly counted
twenty-five cascades over 500 feet in
height, while on a neighboring noun
thin is true glacier, having frontage
of at least mile, and in some places a
fall estimated at 300 feet in height. The
Northern Pacific road runs near enough
to these new wonders to make them
easily accessible to the curious. Black

A FOREST IN FLAMES.

The Turpentine-ProducinE District of
North Carolina Swept by q Disastrous
Fire.
RALEIGH, N. c.. April 5.-The greatest
fire ever known has ragged for three days
in the vast forests of yellow pine which
stretch we'll nigh unbroken from Sanford,
fifty miles from Raleigh, to points north
west, and south sixty miles, beyond the
South Carolina border. The forests are
what are known as virgin, and from them
comes nearly all the turpentine marketed at
Wilmington, N. G.
The trees are of enormous size, and
at points where the turpentine "orchards ~
are located are blaZed for miles. Covered
with resin, these hundreds of thousands of
trees offered a rare opportunity to four OF
five fires which broke out Tuesday morn
ing. The tires were caused by burning
brush. Before noon a storm came
up. The wind blew nearly a hurricane.
In half all hour after this high wind
arose, the flames were racing like demons
through the woods. Vast masses of fire
were actually forced through the air by the
sweeping gale. The tops of half burned
in the middle of cleared fields. The fire
lowered to an amazing hight, and so vivid
was the glare that it made all objects plain
at great distances. People were terribly
alarmed. At Blues Crossing and Keyser
they gathered in large numbers and
fought the flames with such en-
ergy and desperation that these
places escaped with little damage.
Many dozen Observation-Disclosures are COM
pletely destroyed, as we'll as large quanti-
ties Of resin, turpentine. and other naval
stores. The fire has extended beyond Ham,
let into South Carolina Its full sweep is
over a distance of fifty or sixty miles. No
news of any loss of life has yet been re-
ceived. Many persons have lost clothing,
and some were badly scorched by the fierce
flames. 1t is by far the most disastrous fire
ever known i'll the North Carolina turpen-
tine forests.

News Copyright.

CINCINNATI, o., April 5.-The Enquirer
says editorially: "The trumpeters for the
Newspaper Copyright law subsidized for a
while, but are now at it again. 1t is graft
flying that their prospects are no better now
than they were before, and it is still more
gratifying to know that they are likely to
get worse instead OF better. The press of
the country, particularly the rural press,
which would be the greatest sufferers by
such a law, have been awakened to the
threatened outrage, and are talking to their
Representatives in Congress in their usual
straightforward and vigorous manner. Such
a gag as is contemplated by this law is
against the North American style of doing
business, and it is pleasant to know that
a very decided smack in the face is in store
