PROTEcTIoN OF TIMBER.-A WASH
ington dispatch of the 10th says that
the President had sent to Congress o
brief communication from the Secre.
tary of the Interior concerning the
destruction of timber on public lands
by fires, carelessly left burning. The
President states that if proper penal
ties were imposed by law, and a few
convictions secured, much waste of
the forests would be prevented. With
the communication of the secretary,
which is merely a letter of transmit
tai, bill was enclosed, providing for
the protection of trees and other
growth in public domain, from de-
struction by FIRE. It makes it mis-
demeanor for persons to maliciously or
negligently set fire to woods and prop
erty on public lands, and persons con-
victed are to be fined not more than
three times the value of the growth de-
stroyed, or imprisoned for not more
than three years, or both. One-hali
the fine is to 60 the informer and the
other half to the public school fund OF
the county in which the destroyed
growth was situated.

The Tribune seems greatly worried
over the fact that George Mills has Sc
cured the position of Register of the
Olympia Land Office, and bases its OBJ
lection on the assumption that he is q
resident of this city and that the selec-
ton, to keep the political amenities
equally balanced, should have been
made from some other place. Now
the fact is that Mr.. Mills has resided
the past two years at Seattle, and is
as much a resident of that city as he is
an inhabitant of the Earth. He owns
no realty here that might establish
some color of habitat or indicate that
he entertains the slightest preference
for Olympia as home. He has voted
the Republican ticket in Seattle, on
every occasion, since he became a resi-
dent of that city, and had forever, as he
it, shook the dust of Olympia
from his feet. Just why it is bad pol
itics" to appoint him to Office, as our
contemporary alleges, exceptit be in q
party sense, we fail to discover, and
even from that point of view we think
he will size up very fairly with the
average Republican. If the Tribune
has any dirty party linen to wash, we
sincerely hope it will use its own suds
and tub.

the touch of Midas is not more

Those Objectionable Questions.

Newspapers throughout the country
have had Il good deal OF say about
certain alleged Objectionable questions
upon the Federal census blanks, and
from many Eastern cities the report
comes that prominent citizens refused
to give the census assessors proper an
swers to such questions. Now we
believe in the supremacy OF the laws
and fail to see why cranky people
should refuse to obey the census in
structions prepared by the wisdom
and experience OF our general govern
ment.
Through the offer of bran new
hat we succeeded in bribing one OF
the census assessors, the other day,
and making Il clean breast of it he
divulged to us a list of the principal
questions which so many sentimental
men and women decline to answer.
Among what are called general
questions" applied to all classes, with
out regard to sex or social standing, we
= find the following:
{ Are you male, female, or which?
/ According to your best recollection, were
you born with your own free will, know
ledge, and consent?
Did any o! your male or female rela
tives die with the itch?
How long had you been in America
when you were born ?
Can you read the newspapers under
standingly?
How many English languages die
your parents before you speak
Are you married, divorced, or widowed
and how much?
| Among the questions especially put
to men, we find the following:
Have you q mother-in-law Does she
live with you, and if so, what SOCIALLY posi-
ton does she occupy in your household?
Do you get your brandy cocktails from
those dealers who support the constitu
ton and regularly pay their Liquor
licenses?
Are your servant girls generally pre-
by the various little arts best known t.
the club fraternity?
Then there comes series of ques
tons put to the ladies', and among
these:
How old are you?
How many times were you contracted
for before you married your present hus
band!
Young ladies are asked If they
chew gum, and if of manageable age
they are required to state whether
they remember the last advent of the
seventeen year locusts.
Now while some of these questions
may appear to squeamish people to be
far-fetched and rather impertinent
we see no valid reason why any
American citizen should refuse to
answer them. While Uncle Sam il
counting his children, he wants to
know their moral, mental and physi-
cal makeup and the general detail
of their character and condition.

Small or Large Flocks.

The Practical Farmer says: In a gen
eral way it may bs said with considerable
truthfulness that it is more expensive to
keep small flock than a large one, other
things being equal Better care, as rule, is
given to small fiocks, because the farmer
look after each individual sheep; but the
profits per head are likewise proportionately
different. The number that die or do NOT
properly develop, owing to crowding and
other causes, in large flock, is not always
included in the profits and loss of sheep on
a large ranch. The whole flock could have
been reduced to the number of those which
died or failed to improve during the year,
and the profits would have been as large
The food and care given to the Improbable
ones were sheer loss. AS the flock is re-
duced in size the number of poor sheep is
also reduced, until the lowest minimum
possible is reached. This is reached on the
small farm. where only limited number
of sheep are kept. Few If any need to die
here from cold, lack of food or shelter, and
none need fail to increase in weight and
quality for lack of attention. The South
downs show very markedly the effects Of
good or bad treatment and for this reason
also they are specially good for all farms,
where each individual member of the flock
can be looked after TO reasonable ex-
tent
