Growth and Purpose Of the A. p. A.

National President, J. HI. Jackson,
of Fort Worth, Texas, said in a recent
interview in reference to the growth of
that organization and its political
policy next campaign:
"The order is growing rapidly in
numbers. We have in round numbers
three and one half million members.
In California we have two hundred
thousand and in the older states farther
east the number of members we have
is enormous and growing daily"
1.-THE order will take part in the next
campaign, and will go in to win. In
| October there will be convention at ST.
Louis, attended by SO delegates, two
from each state and some of our officers,
so that very strong committee will be
appointed to lay before each present
party our principles and explain to
each our position. The committee
Will present our platforms. We will
demand recognition, put each party on
record and then determine what we
shall do. You can rely on this: We
won't vote with party that condemns
our principles and we won't support
any party that makes a bid for the
Roman Catholic vote. When thew
have acted we shall act in unison.
The party that we vote with will win.
We are not going in as a political
party, but we have principles to carry
out and it is to advance them that we
shall vote"
eve will have a hand in the elections
IN every state in the Union. Our
method of dealing with parties in each
state will be much the same as our
methods in city politics."

To The Farmers:

Don't say we didn't give you a
chance to sell your produce. We haye
had to ship in butter, eggs and p ota-
toes this week to fill our camp orders.
We prefer to patronize our own peo-
pie, but must have the goods to fill the
orders. We want all kinds of produce
to fill Saturdays and Tuesdays. or
ders Bring us potatoes, beets, tona-
toes, cabbage, apples, pears, eggs; in
fact all kinds of farm produce
An exchange very wisely remarks,
Don't ask an editor to suppress any
item of news. Some other paper will
get it any way. Next week something
will happen to your neighbor, and if he
asks to have it suppressed you will be
the first to jump on the editor for not
daring 'to say his soul was his own. ,
Take your medicine when the item
happens to fall your way, for really
you have no more claim on the editor
than your neighbor has" And our
brother might have added that it is
not through any personal i'll will that
the editor publishes news items that
are not always of complimentary ma
ture.
Frank Tue11 has full line of new
school books, tablets and supplies.
All text books are about one-third
cheaper than formerly, and the old
books are taken in exchange. =
See the new Dry Goods at the L. M.
Co. store. The prices are right.

Timber Destruction by Woods Fires.

Western Washington has gained
altogether too much undesirable adj
vertlsing on account of the recent
woods fires. Eastern papers were led
to believe a Washington forest fire to
be something like that which caused
such fatality and destruction of pro-
perty in Minnesota last year. The
good timber suffers but little damage
in this section, but the fires run
through old logging works and slash
ings and burn furiously in old rotten
trees and in windfa lis and dry brush.
In untouched woods the underground
as we'll as the timber is green and
thick and the fires soon die out after
reaching such spots, or else smoldeI
without any damage.
Innumerable ranchers' slashings,
fires in abandoned logging works and
in old "burns" and prairies, cause. our
smoky season each summer, and occa-
sionally fire runs in the piles of brush
along the railroads or in grounds
where the loggers are at work, but as
rule, little damage in done then. ex-
cept the occasional burning Of a camp
or rancher's barn.
There are many large areas where
at some time past immense forest
fires must have ragged. But it will be
noticed that the "burns" are on high
land and the timber sparse and poor,
as rule The loss of timber caused
by the fires this year was but trifle
more than what is usually destroyed
by the ranchers each year in hewing
out their homes. Still we admit our
grand heritage Of timber will not last
forever and some steps should be
taken to prevent wanton waste and
careless destruction.

Forest Fires.

Several eastern newspapers have
been moved, presumably by sensational
and untrue Associated Press dispatches,
to protect the forests of this coast from
forest fires, says the Tacoma Union.
There have been many forest fires
during the past season, and they have
done a little damage-say 100000,
principally to saw and shingle mills,
and to logs and shingle bolts prepared
for the mills-but they have not so
much as singed the eyebrows of the
fir forests of the Pacific northwest.
Fire in this country runs through
green timber without doing much
damage. When you realize that
Washington fir is protected by bark
from three to ten inches thick, you
will understand how it is that a short
lived fire in the underbrush does not
necessarily endanger the life of green
standing timber.
\ While Washington forest fires do
lNtle damage to green timber, the
forests should be protected from wan
tpn forest firebugs, and the lumbermen
And citizens generally of this state will
appreciate any successful fire protec-
ton move.

The ROthSchildS.

Nobody knows how rich the Roths-
childs are. In I84S they lost $40, 0OO,-
600, but it did not disturb the great
banking house in the least. In 1870
their losses fully equaled this sum and
early this year Baron Gustave Roths-
child made some bad ventures by which
he lost $25,000,OO0. These three a.
mounts make over $100,0O0,OOO which
this house has lost since 1S48 and no
doubt there have been many smaller
losses. But nothing seems to disturb
this great combination. No matter
how fierce a financial tempest may
rage, no matter what houses may 90
down in ruin, the Rothschilds out-ride
every gale. The greatest of all the
great banking houses, such as Overend,
Quincy & Co. and Barring Brothers,
have found the pressure more than
they could stand. Even the Bank of
England has been compelled at times
to ask the assistance of the government !;
but the Rothschilds stand impregna.
BILE. Since 1915 this house has finance
ed loans for governments amounting
to at least $3,OOO,OOO,OOO; railway
transactions for America involving
fully another $3,000OO0,O0O, and r$il-
way and other loans for other countries
which would doubtless swell the amount
of their business transactions since
1915 to $4,000, 100000, and this with
out counting the times in which they
have rehandled the same securities. 1t
is, perhaps, not an exaggeration to say
that on every business day for the last
eighty years the Rothschilds have
averaged financial transactions to the
amount of a million dollars When it
is said, therefore, that the wealth of
this family is fully ST ,000,000,000,
there appears to be no reason for doubt
ing the statement. The rise of this
family is conspicuous illustration of
what may be done by persistent thrift
and industry combined with great
shrewdness. But more than thus it
illustrates the enormous accumulative
force. of wealth when handled with
good judgment.-Seattle Times.
