To Fight Forest Fires.

"Lumbermen in western Montana
have organized to fight forest fires"
said George McGregor, of Butte. In
past years there never was coopera-
ton on the part of the big timber
men, with the result that small fire
that by concerted effort might have
been extinguished, gained such head
way as to destroy millions upon mil
lions Of feet Of valuable timber. The
plan is to raise a fund of $4,000 with
which to buy chemicals, which will
be stationed at all lumber camps and
nearby towns, so that in case of a fire
volunteers may have the means to ex-
tinguish it before it gains great head
way.

oil OLIVER
T9peMritsr
The Standard Visible Writer

You can write any of these things
yourself if you do not happen to have
stenographer.
For you can easily learn, with little
practice, to write just as rapidly, and as
perfectly, as an expect operator on the
OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the
simplified typewriter. Aud you can see
every word you write. About so per
cent more durable than any other type
writer, because it has about so per cent
less wearing points than most other
typewriters.
80 per cent easier to write with than
these other complicated, intricate ma
chimes that require 'humoring"-tech-
nical knowledg-long practice and spec
ial skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be ad-
justed to any special space-with which
it is impossible to write abstracts, in
surance policies,o or odd-sized documents
except you buy expensive special at
tachments requiring experts to operate
sonable space-you can write on any
reasonable size and thickness of paper,
right out to the very edge, without the
aid of any expensive attachment or
special skill, and your work will be neat
appearing, legible and clear.
For the OLIVER is the typewriter
for the doctor, the lawyer, the insur-
ance agent, the merchant, the hotel
proprietor-or any man who does his
own writer.
Writer us now for our booklet on the
simplified features of the OLIVER.
