mo, there wasn't much romance
about Ephraim," said the postmaster,
stroking his beard thoughtfully.
Ephraim had been the great man Of
the town, and his death, the day be-
fore, had called out "reminiscences to
which the postmaster seemed anxious
to contribute. 81 don't s'pose If you'd
billed Ephraim or put him under the
stone-breaker you could have drawed
a tear out of him. Never saw him
laugh. Likely enough he never kissed
his wife or one of his children.
"And yet he wasn't mean man or a
hard man. cal'late he often laughed
and cried inside, but 'twasn't his way
to show it. And he was natural-born
business man, up and down, top to toe,
and that partly accounts for it, too.

~ Ew people know that in Califor-
N mia at all hours Of the day and
80 night a force of government po-
licemen is on duty. walking regular
beats in the heart of the mountain
forest as they would in a populous
city, making occasional arrests and
regular reports to headquarters, quite
in the style of the modern policeman.
In many cases these beats are SO iso-
lated and lonesome that the policeman
does not see soul for weeks save the
men of the adjoining beats. But It zis
not to preserve order that the national
government employs this force and
pays it, but to guard against forest
fires, which have yearly been increas-
ing in number and destructiy yeness.
Millions of feet of valuable timber are
burned every year as the result OF the
carelessness of hunting parties in leav-
ing camp fire embers behind them.
Drouth has followed drouth until the
whole Sierra Madre country seems
likely to burn up, and not only Is there
an immense loss in standing timber,
but the removal of the trees allows the
springs and creeks which feed the riv-
ers to dryup, the winter SHOWS are. not
conserved for irrigation and the effect
is felt hundreds of miles away.
The government has endeavored fol
many years to control these destructive
forest fires, but during the fall Of 1S9t
and 1900 the situation became 81
alarming that it took up the matter
much more energetically and systemat

He must toll on with brain or Drawn,
For life is such a little while.
When joy too strongly may beguile,
'Tis written, joy must be denied;
We may not pause too long to smile,
We must toll on. whate'er betide.
And when a sorrow comes to him
Man may not pause too long to weep,
Grief chastens. tasted at the brim,
But it destroys when quaffed too deep
The onward march we still must keep
Howe'er the spirit may be tried,
We may not pause too long to weep,
We must toll ON, whate'er betide.

The. discovery of mercury in pay

triet, east of Grants Pass. Ore, has
caused much activity in that section.
Many claims have been located and
are being worked, and many thou

while the work of development and
discovery goes on without abatement.
From a small hole on the Mayfield

A conservative estimate places the
payroll of the lumber Industries at
Centralfa, Wash, at s25,oo0. From
the sawmills the payroll is about dou-
Bile what IL was last year, and with
the shingle mills It has been more than
double that of last year. The daily
cut for the four Centralia shingle
mills is 100000 per day, or enough to
sn1ngle over one square acre oil

feet of lumber cut daily by the saw,
