Western Forest Fires.

1t is not generally known, says John
Muir in The Atlantic, that, notwith-
standing the immense quantities of tim
Der cut every year for foreign and home
markets and miners, from five to ten
times al much is destroyed as is used,
chiefly by running forest fires that only
the federal government car stop, Trav-
elers through tine west in summer are
not likely to forget the fire work dis
played along the various railway
tracks. Thoreau, when contemplating
the destruction of the forests on the east
side of the continent, said that soon the
country would be so bald that every
man would have to grow whiskers to
hide its nakedness, but he thanked God
that at least the sky was safe. Had he
gone west he would have found out that
the sky was not safe, for all through
the summer months, over most of the
mountain regions, the smoke of mill
and forest fires is so thick and black
that no sunbeam can pierce it. The
whole sky, with clouds, sun, moon and
stars, is simply blotted out. There is nc
real sky and no scenery. Not q noun,
tain is left in the landscape; at least
none is in sight from the lowlands, and
they all might as well be on the moon
as far as scenery is concerned.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Hale.
chairman Of the senate committee on
naval affairs. was in conference TODAY
with Secretary Long. with reference TO
the prop 1sed legislation for liner easlng the
docking facilities of the country.
The conference related especially to the
advsability of substituting floating for
fixed locks at some points where docks
are conter. plated There are some places
where docks are considered desirable, but
at which steadfast structures are not be-
fieved TO be practical. Algiers. La. is one
OF these points, and Ii is practically de-
cided that IL any dock is placed there. 1t
will be a floating one. made Of steel. The
estimate OF the navy department. SO far
as made, Is favorable 10 the steel struc-
lures on the point OF economy, but all the
figures have not been completed.
Senator Hale said after leaving the de-
partment that the general dock question
would be taken up In earnest by the con-
gressionai committee, after the holidays
and he expressed confidence, that leg:sIa-
ton on the general lines of the depart
meats plans would be secured during the
present session. He thinks that the con-
tinuing contract system will be adopted IN
preparing for the work. so that the imme-
date appropriation required Will not be
