The Encampuent Herald saws:

The Encampnent Herald says:
"There is scarcely a person who
doubts that the terrible destruc-
ton that is now taking place is
cnused directly by sheepherders;
possibly it may be accidental, but
it is generally believed that it is
with a malicious purpose to injurr
the miners of the district. 1t is
to be hoped. however, that this is
a mistake, but the i'll feeling that
has existed for some time between
the sheep me and the miners and
other circumstances connected
with the matter furnish grounds
for such an opinion. Woe to the
man who is proven guilty of such
a crime"

, 1900-08-23

The Battle Lake Miner makes
the following comment:
at is the universal opinion that
the origin of these fires has been
the carelessness of sheep-herders
leaving their camp fires, which
the high winds soon spread in the
timber. Mr.. Camplin and Mr..
Irish on Tuesday found and put
out the fire of a Mexican sheep
herder not n mile and II half from
town, and likewise some two or
three others some greater distance
away. 1t is n remarkable thing
that nine or ten fires are burning
the country up at the same time.
Many say the sheepherders are
deliberately burning off the noun
tains to make them more a%ccessi-
bic.

The Rawlins Republican ends
an article on the fires near here as
follows:
"One gang of nearly fifty vas
in charge of Ed Rankin. They
would scarcely get one fire under
control before another would break
out in "A different spot. The care
l~essness of sheepherders, prospec-
tors and hunters i'll going off and
leaving camp fires to be communi-
Gated to the dry timber is amaz-
ing. 1t does not seem possible
that any sane person would de
~liberately set n fire under the cir
cumstances, but such gross are
lessness is really criminal and it
seems that it will be for
the government to make an ex-
ample of someone before men who
have occasion to build camp fires
in the timber will learn to exer-
else due care. If these fires con
tinue, not only much valuable
timber and other property will be
destroyed, but it will eventually
result in the government estab-
fishing a forest reserve that will
be so bemmed in with official red
tape that the development of the
country will be greatly retarded
in consequence. 1t behoves every
body to be careful"

BRIEF lNSURRECTION.
SALVADOREAN REBELLION WAS
QUICKLY SUPPRESSED.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept 1.-THE Kos
mos liner Herodot from Hamburg and
parts on the Southern Pacific coast, came
into port flying the Bolivian flag in hon
or of DR.. f. Guachalla, the new Bolivian
minister, who was a passenger on his
way to Washington. The Herodot also
brought the family of Minister Calderon,
of Peru. The diplomatic party will re-
main at Coronado d few days, then go
East.
The Herodot brings the story of quick
suppression of an incipient insurrection
at Salvador Minister of War Castro
was the instigator of plot to remove
the president, Thomas Regalado, and
have himself 'proclailed as president of
the republic. In his plans he brings
about the insurrection Castro deemed it
necessary to remove the colonel of the
barracks, and shot him down in cold
blood. 1t was not known until after his
arrest for that crime that the murder
was a part of the plot to overthrow the
present government, but In the irvesti-
CATION that followed the whole scheme
was unearthed. Castro was feul I gull
~ of murder, and on September 8 he
was shot by order OF the president. With
the death OF the leader, the threatened
insurrection subsided.

diously concealed their intentions That
purpose is now plain, and the people must
choose between the retention of the
greenbacks, issued and controlled in vol
ume by the government, and a national
bank note currency issued by banks
and controlled in their own interests If
the national bank notes are to be Sc
cured by bonds, the currency system
now supported by the Republican party
involves a permanent and increasing
debt, and, so long as this system stands,
the financial classes will be tempted to
throw their powerful influence upon the
side of any measure which will contrib
ute to the size and pePmanency of a ma
tional debt. 1t is hardly conceivable
that the American people will deliberately
turn from the debt-paying policy of the
past, to the dangerous doctrine of per-
petual bonds.
