lem in Forest Reserves" J. Ster- ling Morton, ex-secretary of agri- culture, read a paper entitled ''In- consistency of the Grout Bill" ''What the Live Stock Interests of the United States Can Reasonably Expect from Congress-" was the subject of the address of Wm. M. Springer, of Washington, D. c. Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, spoke on the Federal Inspection of Interstate Shipments of Live Stock" C.. A. Prouty, a member of the interstate commerce commission, discussed "The Needed Changes in the Inter- state Commerce Laws"
 Dec. ,. When President Springer called the convention to order he said that the program was of ex- ceptional interest to cattlemen. The program called for papers from Dr. J. H. Senner, New York; Prof. A. H. Soule, Tennessee agricultural college; Hon. F. E. Warren, Wyom- ing; A. F. Doremus, state engineer of Utah, and Col. G. w. Simpson, of Texas.
 Soule's paper, telling of the cattle business in the middle south, was the first one heard.
 Senator Warren, of Wyoming, enumerated the needs, which, he said, the cattlemen would present to congress.
 I. O. Fullen, of Carlsbad, New Mexico, spoke of the conditions in that territory.
 The recommendation of the ex- ecutive committee that a resolution condemning the Grout anti-oleo bill be adopted, caused considerable debate. The resolution was adopted.
 A resolution to admit Oklahoma to statehood was adopted.
 Executive committeeman for 1902 were appointed. Among them are:
 Arizona, E. s. Gosney; Colorado, G. w. Balantine; New Mexico, Solomon Luna; Texas, R. J. Klem- burg; Utah, G. M. Smith; Wash ington, J. F. Greer; Wyoming, B. B. Brooks.

Hon. E. s. Gosney, the enthus- iastic live stockman of Flagstaff, who is one of Arizona's representa- tives to the National Live Stock as sociation, which meets in Chicago this week, being the national com mitteeman from Arizona, will do some valuable service for Arizona on that occasion by way of making acquainted to the attendants there the conditions as they are here. He will submit report to the con vention on the conditions of the in- dustry, and when he undertakes to do this he will do it truthfully and we'll, because that is the way Mr. Gosney does everything he under takes. There are many eyes turn ed toward Arizona just now, and the live stock industry, in its many phases, is attracting considerable attention.-Stockman.

 The visitors were cordially wei comed by Gov. Yates and Mayor Harrison The response was em- bodied in the annual address of Prest- John w. Springer, of Denver.
 The convention will consider the report of the committee appointed to draft bills for national laws. The committee recommends laws for federal inspection of interstate ship ments of live stock, for government inspection of woolen goods, allow ing settlers in the arid and semi arid districts the right to exchange lands of equal value with the gov ernment so as to solidify their hold ings, for a second assistant secre- tary of agriculture who shall be re- quired to give his whole attention to the livestock industry and for a classified assistant of live stock
 MT. Springer called for speakers by states, naming them alphabet ically. E. S. Gosney, of Arizona, arose to say that the cattle business of Arizona was in good shape. F. c. Lusk, of California, declared that the acquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines had benefited his state greatly. H. H. Robinson, of Colo rado, said his state was increasing her cattle business by growing number of small ranchers. A fav- orable report was received from Kansas Chairman Springer then broke into the program to allow I. G. Powers, the chief statistician in charge of agriculture, and Secretary Wilson to speak. MT. Powers spoke on 1.-The Live Stock Census of 1900"
 Resolutions endorsing the refer ence in the presidents message to the propriety of irrigating the arid lands of the country and urging the appropriation of adequate funds to construct huge reservoirs were pre- sented by G. H. Hawell, of Illinois, to the resolutions committee. They were adopted and ordered tele- graphed to both houses of congress.
 Dec. 4. The association listened to various papers by specialists. F. c.

 Week before last the Silverton Appeal Gin vain) brought news of another destruc- tive fire In Silverton, Ore and this news recalled to my mind other fires that have caused great excitement in Chicago and other great cities of the world. A few years ago they formed a fire brigade in Siverton and thought their troubles were over; but evidently they were mistaken, according to the following story, which ran at full length here and there around the patent medicine ads. of the Silyerton Appeal:
 At S:30 last Friday morning Dr. P. A. Davis heard a noise and got out of bed. He thought it was some one coughing, quickly dressed and began to prepare some pills, but it turned out to be the popping of 8 fire, which seemed to be burning in the old brick stores across the street. The doctor yelled himself hoarse giving the alarm, that being the only method avail able, as the rope which had hung from the bell tower for many years had been long since cut down, and was probably then being worn by horses in various stalls around the country.
 The city fire department promptly re- sponded to the alarm, but without the hose. They carried water in their hats till enough buckets that would hold water . could be found, but the flames spread rap idly and 1t was feared that the other three houses across the street would go. So re-

SKETCHES FROM
 EVERY DAY LIFE

joy forever. Some of the best school girls In town chew gum and you can buy it with pepsin anti-toxin, vaccine or quinine and thus take medicine in enjoyable way. From an economic standpoint it is desirable as 1t can be bought in packages from one cent up, and a cents worth with care will last indefinitely. 1 am rather ex- travagant myself for I don't care much for 1t after the taste is out-I am only stating what can be done."
 Here MT. Boil loked around the assem- ply as if he had the best of the argument. short silence followed, many wondering that a man with MT Boirs strength of jaw had stopped talking so soon. While they did not agree with him they liked to see him talk. He had knot of muscle on each jaw, due to long continued indulgence in gum, which had fascinating way of bob ping back and forth when he talked, like the piston rod a moving engine.
 ''fhe fact of the matter, boys,' said the President, who usually felt called upon to settle these litle disputes which were a daily occurrence, 'fs that you are both wrong The choice between gum and to- bacco is the choice between two evils. One Is nearly as bad the other. l think the tobacco habit is the most reprehensible. It is true, as Mir Schmidt says, that 1t is an ancient and honorable custom. II Is moreover honest The man who uses to- bacco makes effort to conceal 1t. He does not take out his quid with a guilty conscience, and stick it under the table for use at some future time. He is not only honest, but famous. Where would the antl- splitting laws be If it was not for the to- bacco chewer? Thus I say he has at least risen to the dignity of receiving judicial notice. but l agree with MT Boil that 1t Is a disgusting habit. Chewing gum, while not quite so bad is very graceless and in- artistic It is never graceful to wag the jaws. Eating is bad enough, but this is excused on the ground of necessity. The only good thing I know about gum is that women who chew it must have good teeth. You never saw woman with false teeth chew gum nor woman with bad teeth, for gum will pull out filings quicker than anything I know, and unless the chewer has sound teeth, it is anything but econom- ical as my friend Boil says, for dentists are not in business solely for their "calrh Tobacco and gum are both bad things 10 fool with and good things to let alone. By the way, Schmidt" said the President, unconsciously extending his hand, what kind of tobacco is that you are using?'

Now, what has become of the fire de- partment they had in Silverton long before I strayed from it's city limits? Silverton had purchased six buckets, with the let ters "S. F. D." painted in red on their sides also an axe with a spike in the back of the blade, which was gilded, and a reel of hose which stood in the shed they called the fire engine house. According to the account of this last fire, not even the bucket purchased by the city could be found in the fire engine house. Various residents had borrowed the hose, which was an ordinary lawn hose, to water their gardens, and had forgotten to bring it back Some farmer had borrowed the axe to split kindling wood. The leather buckets with the red letters the side that had hung in this old shed for years,

5 o'clock and the fire had spread to the front of the stores where 1t was burning among the gents overalls and raisins.
 The Portland fire department responded willingly. They had never been to Silver ton and were anxious to come. They came with an engine and aacoil of hose on a flat car, arriving at S:30. In the meantime the town cows were hurried away from danger, the chickens were rudely rushed from their roosts and driven into the open lots and the few residents who had bought sugar by the barrel were rolling it out into the streets, where it would be safe in the mud.
 The Portland boys readily found the scene of the oon1agraticn, and with one stream from the engine on the quiet ashes of boots and calico and cedar shingles they even put out the smoke. But before check
