The forest is threatened by
many enemies, of which fire and
reckless numbering are the worst.
One of the most frequent causes
of destructive numbering is said to
be heavy taxes, which tempts the
owner of timber land to realize
quickly on his forest and then
allow the devastated land to re-
vert to the state.
There is a responsibility and
duty which has not been recog-
nized or fulfilled. The forests are
an inheritance from the past, ours
to use and enjoy, but also to con-
serve and maintain for future
generations.
All club women will be interest
ed in the efforts of the women of
California to insure the preserva
ton of the famous sequoia or
big" trees of that state, and also
the movement in New England
and the Atlantic States to secure
national reserves in the Appa-
lachian and White Mountains.
Locally each member of this
club can be of use in helping the
forestry movement by personally
interesting herself in the planting
of few shade trees each year and

may come under her influence to
become interested in the planting.

REFORM, NOT REVOLUTION.

Even the most superficial obser-
yer of current conditions cannot
fail to have been impressed by the
fact that a great movement is
taking place in this country. a
movement that cannot fail to have
an influence upon the lives and
de5tines of the millions of Amer
ican people through generations to
come. Speaking of the question
of railroad rates, one of the most
eminent statesman of our time
said, only a few months ago. that
the problem of what should be the
attitude of the government toward
the great corporations transcend
ed in importance all other ques-
tions of domestic policy,and would
affect the lives of generations yet
unborn. And he added that this
was a moral, not mere fiscal,
question. Yet the problem of rail-
way rates is merely one phase of
that movement which is sweeping
across the country.
Everywhere, in every section,
and through every class and condi-
ton of men, there is an apparent
great social unrest. This has
manifested itself in many ways. 1t
shows itself in one place in an out
burst of socialism in its most ex-
treme form. 1t manifests itself in
another place in spirit of bitter
complaint against existing condi-
tions. 1t shows itself in another
in almost an agcnized demand for
larger liberty and opportunity.

Gard of Thanks.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. M. Tanner take
this method of thanking the
many very kind friends who by
their numerous kind acts and ex-
pressions of sympathy went far
towards tightening the cares and
softening the pains of both heart
and body during the severe i'll
ness of Mr.. Tanner. We shall
ever remember the warm, big
hearted people of Paonia with
hearts overflowing with gratitude,
and trust that as they may pass
along life's changing pathway,
their hearts may be touched as
ours have been, by the kindness,
care and attention of the people
they may chance to be among.
AS we take our departure, but
trusting to be with you again
next season, we wish you all,
happiness and prosperity.

General Federation very strongly
discourages the traffic in Christ
mas trees. When l recall the
intense pleasure Christmas tree
gave me as child, l can not con-
scientiously advocate any plan
which will deprive a child of a
Christmas tree. However it is
said that New York and Boston
alone require over one million
trees to furnish the Christmas
trade, and undoubtedly, the
destruction of an evergreen of FIVE
or ten years growth to give few
moments of pleasure is a wasteful
policy.

Here it is crusade against the
trusts" There it is a movement
against the railroads. Here it is
an investigation of life insurance.
there it is an effort for a state
refinery in opposition to the petro-
leum trust.
But while this manifestation
takes different forms, the essence
OF it is the same everywhere. 1t is
a great popular movement in the
direction of larger liberty, wider
democracy, increased opportuni-
ties,an equal chance, square deal,
a stricter obedience to law, a more
comprehensive publicity, and a
higher standard of accountability
on the part of the directors and
trustees of the invested wealth of
the country.
The very reforms which are now
so vigorously demanded by the
people for the purpose of getting
rid of the inequalities. the oppres-
sion and the graft attending the
conduct of the great business en-
terprises, will, when accomplished,
serve to protect the corpora
tions and the financial interests
controlling them from the radical
socialism and the hatred OF wealth.
If the present ethical revival had
not taken place, if there had been
no investigation of corruption, if
there had been no disclosures of
wrong doing, if there had been no
effort made to secure greater pub
licity and government supervision,
if, in a word. things had gone on
in the crooked way in which they
have been moving SO rapidly,
there would unquestionably have
been grave danger of socialism.
The great movement which is now
taking place is of the nature of
reform rather than of revolution.
1t means taking the great eco
nomic mechanism invented by
modern business and charging it
with the moral electricity of hon
esty, equality and faithful observ-
ance of law.-Wall Street Journal.

FORESTRY PAPER
Read BY Mn. Bertha Garvin, be-
fore the Paonia Woman's Club,
Nov. 3, 1905.

forestry WITHIN the past rev
years has awakened universal in
terest, not only claiming the at
tention of men actively interested
in enterprises Immediately de-
pendent upon the forest, but all
who have at heart the prosperity
and welfare of our country.
In the pioneer days the Ameri-
can had but one though about
trees, and that was to cut them
down, and fifty years of our ma
tional life had passed before any
considerable body of Americans
began to live under conditions
where the tree ceased to be some
thing to be cleaned off the face
of the earth. The American For
est Congress held in Washington
in January of this year for the
first time brought together the
great business and forest indus
tries to consider their individual
and common interests in the for
ests.
The great industries of agricul-
ture, transportation, mining, graz
ing and numbering are each one
OF them vitality and directly de-
pendent upon wood. water and
grass from the forest. All scien-
ti6c foresters hold that forests
will increase a water supply by
checking evaporation, and the
future success of all the great
irrigating projects of the West to
a large extent depends upon the
preservation of the forests that
catch and hold the snow from
which comes the precious water
supply.
The manufacturing industries,
whether or not wood enters direct
ly into their finished product are
scarcely less dependent upon the
forest than those whose connec-
ton with it is obvious and direct.
Though iron and steel have sup
planted wood in the building of
most structures, there has been an
tha nf unnd
used, and beyond doubt the de-
mand will steadily increase in the
future.
Forestry from an economic
standpoint must of necessity re-
ceive first consideration, but the
value of forest reserves as recrea-
ton grounds and health resorts
can not be overlooked. In some
European countries these two
points of usefulness have been
combined. Prussia, France, the
kingdom of SaXony and others
maintain state forests which have
been made very attractive as
places for recreation by the build
ing of good roads and other i'm
provemcnts of that nature; at the
same time through careful and
conservative logging a profitable
revenue is also derived.

That the City fireman's life is
not such a slow one is evidenced
by the fact that occasionally these
protectors of the city's welfare
have little Publications at their re-
spective stations. One of these af-
fairs, in the nature of clam-bake
was held at Fire Station No. 2,
Monday evening. Many close
friends, relatives and the families
of the different members were pre-
sent. The largest part of the even
ing was not as usual devoted to
speeches and vocal selections, but
we do know that the many guests
and members of "The Bravest" got
away with about 100 pounds OF
clans and a dozen and a half OF
crabs. Before leaving, sandwiches

seen this season was exhibited for
just one day last week by Broad
way importer. 1t was of cream net
trimmed with ruffles of cream lace,
and cream beading run with baby
velvet ribbon of the loveliest shade
of old rose. 1t was built over a
foundation of cream India silk,
which is SO much stofter than a
taffeta that it is almost the only
thing suitable to use under net.
Each ruffle was beaded with the
beading run with ribbon. 1t was
also put on both skirt and waist in
simple key pattern in which each
one of the upturning openings was
strapped with the ribbon. And all
through this beading trimming
there were tied tiny little bows of
the ribbon.
The lace ruffles were put on the
waist in sort of jacket shape,
meeting the ruffles which ran over
the sleeve.
The yoke was of the net with no
silk foundation underneath.
The girdle was of the cream silk
folded.
In passing, l must say that these
ruffled elbow sleeves, in all kinds
of thin materials, are nothing short
of a rage this season. LII.

Eddie Quinn, matchmaker for the

the papers and by the people after
the Mellody-Peterson fight a short
time ago, will referee the coming
fight between Melody and O'Keefe.

Eddie permitted Melody to foul all

the contest and said: 81 have put

ably will again. l can not help

A short time ago when The Press
stated that Kid Parker was work
ing back into his old form, all the
lovers of the fight game were dis
posed to smile. They smiled be-
cause few years ago Parker was
beaten several times and was call.
ed out of the fight game forever.
He was a vegetarian. He had been
sick and when he did fight, his op.
ponent took all the blows he could
deliver without feeling them.
Now comes Parker and shows he
is there again. He is not as good
yet as he once was, but soon will
be. He made short work of Kerns
and fought Thompson, one of the
best men in the country, to stand
still, and some think should have
had the decision.

match makers in the country, has
at last decided Parker is one of the

give him a go as soon as possible.
