UTAH WANTS SHEEP PASTURE.
Urging the Government to Permit the Use
of the Uinta Reservation.

WASHINGTON. July The people Of the
northeastern section OF Utah are urging the
Governmental permit them the privilege OF
pasturing their sheep OH tho Uinta reserva-
ton. and ex-senator Arthur Brown and the
Hon. Jesse Smith Of salt Lake City are in
Washington In the interest Of the wool grow
ers. The Uinta reservation was set aside
as n forestry reservation under Cleve-
lands last Administration. and it embraces
$4,000 acres. Senator Brown says that the
sh"cp-raiSinE interests amount TO fully 40
per cent. Of the ontrc industrial interests OF
Utah. and to bar tho sheep raisers the right to
use the reservation for pasturage purposes
will very, soon greatly lessen the revenue to
his people.
People wonder at crime in the Western
country" said Senator Brown. and yet these
immense reservations. covering thousands OF
acres. are left as rcgul ar hiding places for cut
thrOats and outlaws Of every character. These
rnscrvat ions. and especially those in the far
West. have practically no police protection,
and it can be readily seen that II the Govern

sheep this would give the reservations protec-
ton that they would not otherwise get"

The Judge moved onward stroke by stroke
Until he got bunkered behind an oak.
Then he trpr"d for while and scratched his head
And Maud got scared at the things he said.
He stood and famed himself in the shade.
And looking over, he saw tn" maid.

But he took the jug and he turned itup.

The correspondent whose letter regard

about dogma was recently answered by us now
attempts to renew the discussion in letter
which he begins by asserting that the Cos

have no controversy with an opponent who

Thus II will be seen that so far from the war
having caused the deficit it actually produced
extra revenue Of $l6a. 900 600 and yet the total
dehcit for the year is $50. sT5.ooO.
IF there had been and no war taxes. the
dehcit would have been S244.s75. ooO.'
Thus does dishonesty go to the limit OF
its impudence.
The fasifier gets his alleged total OF the
cost of the war, namely $143,O 600,
by assuming that the war and navy ex-
penditu"es in the fiscal year 1898 repre-
sent the normal peace cost of the estab-
lishments, and deducting the same from
the total for 800. or course the fiscal year
1893 was also war year. The proper
Item for deduction Is the total of war
and navy expenditures in 1897, a peace
year, and that was SS4 900, 600 The cost
OF the war for the year 1899, honestly com
puted according to the method adopted by
the falsifer, would therefore not be $143,-
900, 900, but $21O, 900, 900. He has falsi-
fed this item by $67, 1000, 900.
Therefore, strike off SGT 900, 900 from the
pretended non-war deficit of S2ii 1878 900,
reducing the same to S177,S75,OOO.
Now again: The alleged items of increased
revenue for war taxes, as printed above,
heed not be examined. They are probably
Exaggerated by many millions; the official
hata for verifying them are not yet at hand.
But the fasfler proceeds to assume further
that every dollar OF the increased revenue
derived from war taxes, and every dollar
borrowed on bonds have been paid out of the
Treasury in the course of the orgy OF Re-
publican cXtravaRancc The check on this
particular lie is Obvious. The amsunt of
the lie Is shown by the difference between
the net available Treasury balance at tho
beginning and at the end Of the fiscal year
just closed:

Here are $7S, 900, 900 more to be stricken
off from the pretended non-war deficit al
ready reduced to S177 s75, 900 by the en-
posture of lie number one The exposure Of
lie number two brings the figures of the
peace basis deficit down to 500 $50, 900, in
stead OF the S244. S75 900 exhibited by tho
falsifier in order to give color to his charge
that uneXampled rrcklessncss and cxtrava-

TREES IN FOREST FIRES,

Forest fires differ greatly in inten-
sity and in the amount OF resultant
damage. The great majority merely
run along the ground licking up the
grass, underbrush, and forest litter,
doing no damage to trees other than
scorehing the outer bark. Some de-
velop sufficient heat to destroy the
young sapllngs and to burn through
the Bark of the mature trees. In the
latter case, fire scars are produced,
which may develop disease and even
tually destroy the trees. Others, still
tiercer and more destructive, make a
more or less clean sweep OF the forest.
Fires Of the last mentioned kind are
not common. but. on the other hand,
they are naturally the most extensive,
Among them may be nstanced the
"big burn" in Western Oregon, near
the Pacific coast, which extended from
Tillamook southwark to the neighbor-
hood OF Coos bay,-a distance OF $50
miles, with an average Of 20 to p
miles,-and the burns in Whatcom,
Skamania and Cowlltz counties Wash.
which swept the timber for hundreds
Of square miles.
Different species Of trees suffer from
fire in different degrees. Reslnous
trees, especially those with thin bark,
such as the pines, and particularly
the yellow pine, are very combustible,
and fall an easy prey TO the flames
The red fir, the most valuable tree Of
the northwest, is much less cOmus.i-
BILE, as It possesses a thick bark and
contains comparatively little resin;
while the California redwood Is so wet
that no fire can sustain itself among
them. There have never been fires
among the redwoods In burnt areas
It is common for fires to make selec-
tions among the trees, limiting the de-
struction to certain species.
Although forest fires were long rec
ognized as an evil Of the first magni-
tude. no concerted attempt was made
until recent years TO abate them II
was everybody's business; therefore Z
concerned no one In particular The
federal government being the largest
owner OF tlmber-land was naturally
expected to take the lead Ia the mat
ter. Until very recently, however, Il
aid nothing; and It was long before
any OF the states took action New
York was the FIRST to take mp the mat
ter IN earnest. In 1885 law was
passed by the legislature providing
fines and imprisonment for setting
fires. whether by intention or care
lessness: and an organization Of fire.
wardens was made This organization
has proved efficient and we now hear

AFTERNOON TEA.

The present prevailing tea makes no
pretense at the old-time extravaganza
and outlay. 1t is most informal, in
the routine of social life, unimportant
and frequently no more than sub
stitute for a day on which visitors
will find their friends at home. 1t is
so difficult a matter for New York
people to stay in the house that wo
men who formerly were to be seen on
one day every week have now limited
their days of reception to three in
month. and sometimes to two. Wo-
men have almost ceased to send cards
of this kind to men because they
know that men are not likely to come
and would bore themselves if they did.
It used to be hard enough to attract
men during the days Of the elaborate
old-fashioned teas, when there might
be champagne and there was a GER
tainty of punch. Nowadays the punch
comes rarely. Even the added line OF
"To meet Nine. J or any other cell
ebrity has lost much of its old-time
force. The tea has become so infor
NAL an affair that nobody will treat
it seriously nowadays. Women have
even ceased to complain when the men
invited do not come and neglect to
send cards. Every yestige of for
mality surrounding the tea, you see,
has been lost in the gradual decline
from the quails and chicken salads
down to the tea, lemonade and sailed
almonds which constitute the refresh
ments at the tea today, with possible
stuffed prune or branded cherry.
This is the style of tea which to-
day justifes the assertions OF those
who say that the thing is increasing
every DAY in numbers and popularity.
The old-fashioned tea with its music
and low cut corsages has passed ir-
revocably away It's passing shows a
great advance in social matters, be-
cause if was an anomaly that always
astounded foreigners, The sight Of
woman in ball toilet shaking hands
with men and women in afternoon
street dress was always a marvel to
them, and they attributed it to one Of
the eccentricitics Of a new civiliza-
ton. Whatever the causes may be
the old-fashloned tea and its success
sor are very different. The disap-
pearance OF one and the way the other
prospers makes both sides of the dis
cussion tenable,
The nearest approach to the for
mer kind is to be found today ir the
musical party given in the Afternoon
That today makes the most elaborate
daytime dressing possible and allows
a greater latitude in the matter of
food and drink than any other social
entertainment confined TO the day
time hours. But even that in its most
reckless form does not bear compari-
son with the old-time tea OF twelve
years ago. when II comes TO mis-
placed liberality in food, drink and
