The Tonto basin dam for stor-
age of water for the irrigation of
Salt river valley in Arizona will
probably be the first of the FIVE
enterprises, as announced by the
interior department, on which
actual construction work will
begin under the provisions of the
national irrigation act. The dam
has been located in the canyon
of Salt river, sixty miles to the
eastward of Phoenix, where the
gorge is only 200 feet wide.
Above is an immense valley with
storage capacity of more than a
million square feet. The dam is
to be 23O feet high and to cost
over two million dollars, which
sum is to be returned to the gov
ernment in ten installments by
the farmers benefited.

PROTECTION TO FORESTS.

Last year within two weeks
over $4,000, 900 worth of tim
Der and other property was de-
stroyed by forest fires in Oregon
and Washington. This enormous
loss occurred upon restricted
area and represents only a very
small part of the annual loss
from this source. Every timber
ed region of the United States
suffers year after year from fire.
The annual loss is estimated at
from $4,000, 900 to .OOO,-
900. Forest fires have been re-
garded as almost inevitable, and
few systematic attempts have
been made to prevent or con-
troll them except in the States of
New York, Pennsylvania and
Minnesota, which have efficient
systems of fire protection.
The Bureau of Forestry has
this year undertaken a thorough
study of the forest-fre problem
in several different regions. 1t
has placed men in forest districts
to study fires while in the pro-
cess of burning. Instead of wait
ing until the fires are over and
relying for information on local
reports, as has been done hereto
fore, the fires are now being OBJ
served by the Bureaus agents
and full data will be obtained az
to how they were caused. how
fast they burn, what conditions
favor or hinder them, and just
what damage they do to the soil
and to tree growth. Each agent
of the Bureau has been assigned
to a district and is investigating
all fires that occur within his ter
rltory. For example, one man
studies a lumber tract, another a
farming district, third a tur-
pentine orchard, etc.
In connection with this detail
ed study, the agents will observe
the methods of fire protection
practiced by railroads and other
owners of timber lands. The fire
warden systems of the States
which have forest-hre laws, and
the patrol system in use on the
Federal forest reserves will also
be observed closely.
Bv such methods the Bureau
of Forestry hopes to replace with
carefully gathered facts the
vague general notions that now
exist about forest fires. When
the problem is solved for any
particular region, the Bureau
will be ready to recommend
methods of fire prevention and
control for the private land own
er, and to suggest forest-fre leg
islation for the various States.
The investigation is now in
progress in northern Florida and
southern Alabama and Georgia
under the direction of Ernest A.
Starting, H, J Thompkins, with
a small corps of assistants has
begun the work in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. Later
in the season a study OF forest
fires will be made on the Pacihc
coast.

Is bright and shining;
And SO turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining.

AS far back as the present day voter
can remember David b. Hill was a
Democratic possibility. Men have risen
and fallen, empires have succumbed to
the strong arm of republicanism, dy-
nasties have tottered and collapsed,
great men have been cut down by the
bullet Of the assassin, but David d.
Hill still stands. And his chances
are the same today, yesterday and for
ever. He is a possibility, that is all.
Possibilities are not probabilities;
they can happen but they don't. David
b. is O. Democrat all right but he is
not the Democrat to lead his party TO
victory.

What is considered by those inter
ested positive assurance that the
structural steel car works is to be
placed in operation upon a gigantic
scale, has been received in Canton to-
day. Eastern men, who have had the
matter under advisement have, ac-
cording to report, decided to make an
investment necessary to boost the
capital stock to the $10000,000 mark.
The reorganization is to take place
next month. This news is of the ut
most importance to the citizens OF
Canton and should be joyfully receiv-
ed In all quarters, There has been
plenty of skepticism evinced over the
proposed organization Of the company
and there are people, who will have to
see the works in actual operation be-
fore they will be convinced. But to
the men, who are intimately associat-
cd with the concern, the communica-
ton today brought conviction. They
know the capitalists, with whom they
have been dealing. and they realize
that what these men decide to do they
do. Barring the possibility Of acci-
dent the great industry may be look
ed upon as assured and the city may
enjoy the satisfaction OF knowing that
within the next twelve months 1t will
harbor one Of the greatest car manu-
factories of the world.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, who recently
lectured in Canton, created a sensation
in Cleveland yesterday by predicting a
terrible conflict between the white and
black races Of the south. 1T will
come just as certain as the sun contin-

Rev. Dixon goes even far enough to
the outcome of the struggle,
the overthrow of the color
ed hosts and their banishment from
the United States.

A "Dangerousv Man.

New York financial journals are
trying to puncture the presidential
boom of William Randolph Hearst,
but they may discover that he has TAX
en- the precaution to use puncture-
proof material in its construction.
The Wall Street Journal bids the men
of millions rally to the support of Mr..
Roosevelt in order to compass the de-
feat of Mr.. Hearst.
1T will not do to suppose that be-
cause Mr.. Hearst trades on Ignorance
and vulgarity he is therefore not dan
gerous," says this organ Of the trusts.
''The history of the world furnishes
many examples to prove the contrary.
1t should be remembered that his cam
paign is backed by unlimited money
and that there are many well-mean-
ing, though unthinking, people who
really believe in him. Wall street is
playing with fire in its opposition to
Mr. Roosevelt and the policy repre-
sented by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Hearst is now the recognized candi-
date of what is called the Labor par
ty' for the presidency of the United
States in 1904 and afterward The
phenomenon is one that is worthy of
some attention.
ut is perfectly plain that Mr..
Hearst is bending all the forces at his
command toward securing for himself
the presidency of the United States,
with John Mitchell as vice president.
II is not necessary for us to go into
detail in stating that Mr.. Hearst Is
totally unfit for such a position. AS
compared with a man like Mr.. Bryan,
for example, he cuts very poor fig
ure.
I'VE do not believe that the United
States is likely to make the mistake
of electing a man like Mr.. Hearst for
its president. But his candidacy AMI
the methods that he is pursuing in its
flrtherance are. worthy of attention on
the part of these people who are anx-
ious to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt.
The financial community will. il ii
endeavors to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt.
greatly strengthen Mr.. Hearst and
people like him in the campaign thar
they have undertaken to set class
against class in this country"
II Mr.. Hearst is going to be dan
gerous" man for the millionaire he is
likely TO be pretty safe president for
the average citizen. AS long as tine
trusts rule with an iron hand, this
fair land of urs the candidate who is
the champion of their rapacious repre-
sentatives, should not be the candi-
date Of the common people. No man
can serve two masters. If Roosevelt
is regarded by the moneyed interests
as a safe president, by all means let
us have w. r. Hearst or some other
equally dangerous" man.

Canton Idea Endorsed.

Canton merchants, having waited
long and patiently for the street
cleaning to be looked after by the city
and having become more tired in wait
ing than those whose duty it is to look
after the work could ever become
through attention to it, have decided
upon plan of action which If carried
out will make life worth the living in
the town and it may result in bring
Ing good many officials from other
cities on junketing trip to town to
investigate the workings of the Can
ton plan. Merchants of the Stark
county seat have contracted to have a
force of men and teams put to work
with shovels and brooms and other
street cleaning devices and will pay
the expense out of their own purses
while continuing to put up taxes for
the purpose They perhaps reason
that the pleasure and convenience of
customers who will be able to do their
trading without becoming blinded by
dust and compelled to wade in mud
will be worth something, while stores
kept free from mud tracked in by
them and no dust to ruin stocks will
effect a saving greater than the out
ay.-Youngstown Vindicator.

The state of New York proposes to
regulate boxing contests by making
them revenue producers. A bill pro-
viding for heavy licenses for all ring
events is now pending in the legisla-
ture OF the state and promises to be-
come law. Our own Governor Nash,
who is diametrically opposed to this
form of sport, may find in the New
York scheme way to dispose of the
prize-fghting bug-a-boo, which has
haunted him ever since his accession
to office.

News and Comments
Got Poor Quick.

The most astounding discovery in
connection with the raiding of the
"get-rich-quick" men in New York
City is the character Of the men to
whom the swindling circulars were
sent. Upon the mailing lists are the
names Of $4,000 clergymen, 100000
physicians and other professional ana
mercantile men in proportion. or
course, not all these men "bit." II
one in hundred did so 1t was enough
for the swindlers. But how could any
educated man have been so foolish as
to expect profits which could only be
gained at the cost of cheating others !

The Erratic Meter.


Consumers of gas in New York COM
plain of fast" gas meters, and the
companies admit that the meters do
get out of order and mark more gas
consumed than actually goes through
the meter, but they assert that the
meters also go slow" and do not
mark all consumed. Investigations
have led to the estimate that 20 per
cent Of meters mark from to Is per
cent more gas than is consumed. The
same condition of things is said to ex-
list in Mansfield and in other cities.
The state inspector makes examina-
tions in New York. There is no pro-
lection to the consumers of electricity,
no inspection of the meters being pro-
vided for though the gas inspector in
New York holds that there is great
need OF the inspection of electric me-
ters. Evidently this opens an inter-
esting field to consumers OF electricity
and gas In the interest of fairness

then, too, why not have coal weighed
by an official weigher r?-Mansfield
