FOREST FIRES.
Remedial Laws Suggested by T. s.
 Van Dyke of California.

Among the interesting papers pre- sented at the irrigation congress was that of T. s. Van Dyke on Forestry" a digest of which is here reproduced:
 The party setting fire must be ab- solutely responsible. Under it's police powers the state probably has right to say you shall not allow a fire to es- cape, even on land belonging to the public. It has right to forbid fires at all and it certainly has the right to say you shall make no fire that can es- cape.
 Every one who has ever camped out knows this work will be no hardship. There is absolutely no excuse for al- lowing fire to escape. In every case it is pure carelessness and in many utter recklessness in selecting the place for it, in making it too large, and in going away and leaving it un- extinguished. It is common to blame sheepmen for fires and we know they make enough of them on purpose. But the careless camper is far worse for he will make a fire at any time of the year and in any place and allow it to take care of itself after he has gone.
 The penalty should not be so heavy that juries will not convict. Probably $50 will be enough. Twenty-Five dol lars with costs is enough to deter peo- pie if they are sure there will be nc conviction. Having made camp at the fire that spreads should be presump- tive evidence of having started it, SC that the prosecution is not burdened with proving who struck the match.
 Forests should be districted and un- der patrol. It should be made mis- demeanor for any one entering such district to refuse to give his name place of residence, last place where he camped, place where going, object ol his trip in the forest, etc., to the patro when required, and the giving O. wrong information should be a misde meanor.
 By following on these lines, making the proof very simple and the penal ties light, it might be possible to worl up public sentiment that will enforc, laws rigidly. Until such sentiment il worked up to breathe into dead law the breath of life, forest destruction will go on as in the past.

A CHECKER CHAMPION.
Something About Young Cameron, the
 Arizona Expert.

The North American Checker Board is publishing the pictures and bio graphies of the leading checker players of the United States. The November number has for it's frontispiece an ex- cellent portrait of Brewster Cameron, Jr., who is rapidly acquiring fame as a checker player. That he comes nat urally by his ability to solve difficult problems will be evident to the people who are fully cognizant of the indefatigable spirit and tremendous energy possessed by his respected fath- CT, Brewster Cameron, ST. In it's sketch of young MT. Cameron the Checker Board says:
 ''The picture we hand you this month, although taken year or so ago is, still a good likeness of Brewster Cameron, Jr. MT. Cameron was born at St. Louis, Mo-, on the 9th of April 1S77 He was very young when his parents moved to Washington, D. C., where his father, Hon. Brewster Cam eron, was general agent of the depart ment of justice, under Gen. Brewster, during President Arthur's administra tion.
 "In October, 1884, the family went to Arizona, where MT. Cameron, ST., was largely interested in cattle, lands and mines. That territory was young Brewster's home for the next twelve years, the last two of which were spent attending the University of Arizona at Tucson. Subsequently he completed his studies with course at Los Ange- les Business college, and it was while attending the latter school that he be- came deeply interested in checkers.
 After tumbling into the goose walk and a few other elementary traps, his tutor, s. F. Hopewell, induced him to study book A copy of Lees Guide was procured, and ever since it's re- ceipt Brewster has been checker en- thusiast
 Returning to Arizona in September, 1894; Mr. Cameron quickly vanquished all the leading checker players in his section Continuing to meet and de- feat all the devotees of the game, he was soon recognized by them as the champion of the territory. Being quite a young player, and having already entered into an active business life, the few hours that MT. Cameron is en- abled to spend at checkers are devoted almost entirely to a study of his books, though he has found time to contrib ute some interesting games and prob lens to the Derry News, and also this magazine.
 ''He is the possessor of good gen. eral checker library, to which he is constantly adding the latest and best works on the science. MT. Cameron has recently entered into the employ of the Mexican branch of the Ameri- can Surety company in the City of Mexico, where he vii undoubtedly meet for the first time, professional players, and while it would be rash to predict another Arizona campaign yet we feel justified from his fine rec ord in anticipating his speedy eleva- tion to the front rank, if not the first place.

Marron's report and ordered a decree to be prepared and submitted for his signature on the 21st inst. The decrees to follow the decree of the court in New Mexico as the court of primary jurisdiction, and MT. Marron is ap- pointed to make the sale of the prop erty
 "In the matter Of the claim of the Southern Pacific railroad company against the receiver of the Atlantic & Pacific for taxes, which was heard be- fore Judge H. L. Warren, at San Francisco, on the 10th of November and argued at Albuquerque on the 2Oth of November, Judge Warren has filed his report recommending that the reg ular receiver be instructed not to pay the claims and that the intervening pe- tition of the Southern Pacific railroad company be dismissed"
 If the action of Judge Warren ' continued MT. Field, be sustained by the court it will probably result in the recovery by MT Smith, the present receiver, of a large sum paid by the for mer receivers to the Southern Pacific company on account of similar claims. The amount involved approximates about $200,O0O."

Everybody knows that the condi- tions for health are not favorable when the stomach, liver and bowels are dis ordered. In such cases, headache, in- digestion, and constipation are the re- suit; for all which ailments the proper remedy is Ayers Cathartic Pills.
 Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil- la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: list. The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d. They are combined in such scientific prOpor- tions that they may always be depend- l ed upon for successful results. Sd. It | is concentrated extract, only small doses being required. 4th. It is perfect 1 ly safe, either for young or old 5th It acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier. 9th. It cures disease by removing the conditions which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This remedy has a well-known scientific value and it's formula is familiar to scientific men. 9th. It has been before the public for half a century. Drug gists and physicians recommend it and employ it in their practice. 9th. It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. It
 leads all other blood purifiers. Be
 sure your druggist sells you Ayers Sarsaparilla. It cures others, and will
 cure you.

Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home

NEW YORK, April S.-The stock market
was steady today on a moderate volume
of business. Dealings in the main were
professional. In the early trading fair

provements in prices the advances, how
ever, being confined to fractions. The
general advance was checked at the eX-
piration of realization orders. in which
sugar bore the brunt of selling. The an

this shipment would be the forerunner or
other exports. The market. however, did
not respond yesterday to any noteworthy
extent. The shipment mentioned together
with the $S00000 forwarded yesterday, is
drawnu from financial institutions and
does not count against the treasury re-
serve. There were purchases of an active
character which gave tirmer tone to the

probation in prices. Late in the afternoon
