This is the time of year for forest fres

or grass except for useful or necessary
purposes, or who shall make camp fire
or light a fire for any purpose without
taking sufficient steps to secure the same
from spreading from the immediate To-
cality where the same may be used; or
who shall with malicious intent or other.
wise fail in any instance to extinguish
said fire before leaving or abandoning
the same, shall be deemed guilty OF a
felony and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined in a sum not exceeding $1,000
or imprisonment in the state prison for
a term not less than one nor more than
seven years. or both such fine and i'm.
prisonment."

WOOL MANUFACTURE.

In a recent issue of one of the Minneap,
oils papers there appears an article which
states that "aided by capital contributed
by citizens of other states the people OF
South Dakota are about to be blessed
by the establishment Of a new industry
that will be conducted on a large scale,
being the industry Of cleansing and man.
u~facturing raw wool. On Jan. l OF this
year South Dakota had $4,000 sheep, Of
which the value is $759,642, or about 81
per head. North Dakota had a slightly
larger number, Wyoming had more than
100000 sheep, and Montana nearly
100000. The vast water power at
Edgemont, s. D., is sufficient for the
maintenance Of wooden mills az extensive
ss the cotton mills at Lowell or Fall
River. A beginning has been made to-
ward the utilization Of this great force"
The paper iu question then proceeds to
argue that II the democratic tariff bill
passes there will be no need to build the
factory for it will be a failure.
While most Of the woolgrowers believe
this to be q fact, the situation may not
be % bad d 10 anticipated. And in any
event the facts and figures quoted indi-
cato that Great Falls 10 the proper place

An Organization to Purify Salt Lake
Politics.
In referring to a meeting of a new or
ganization in that city which proposes
to purify politics, the Salt Lake Tribune
says:
The Good Citizenship league, while it
claims to be non partisan and non. Sec
tartan in character, expects to play a
leading part in the drama of Salt Lake
politics at the ensuing election.
Any 'peace-loving, law-abiding" man
or wOnan is eligible to membership, and
such Of the members as can exercise
their prerogatives in the way of dropping
a ballot into the slot, are expected to
vote only for those candidates to whom
the appellation of pure, noble men of
thought and action can appropriately
be applied.
The candidate who, now and then in
his career, has been guilty or dallyl..r
with the tiger during the silent watches
of the night, who desecrates the Sab.
bath or quatfs from the flowing bowl,

ship league to the extent Of securing it's
suffrage.
The league expects to put in its most
effective work at the primaries, where
it's members will wipe up the earth to
the best of their ability with those can
didates upon whose escutcheon can be
found a blot or blemish resulting from
immortality.
The work of PROSECUTING will begin at
ouce in the various precincts and the
league hopes to have a large membership
within a short time.
