perfectly delighted with the time they
had had, and of course spent the most
of the 9Th in taking good long nap,
which, of course, is always necessary
after such occasions.
The success Of this 4th has encOur-
aged the community with a resolution
to have more elaborate program and
other necessary preparations for the
next, as many say they can have such
good time without having to go to
town thirty or more miles away, and
at much less expense as we'll as in
convenience.

his attitude in the matter Senator
Dixon, has, SO far, failed even to say
that General Bell was mistaken Is
it possible that Senator Dixon is not
in a position to do SO?
Theinterview in the Pioneer Press
was copied in the Helena Record, ex-
cepting the sentence referring to Con-
gresham .Dixon's talk with the secre-

spicuously absent. When the fact
that this particular paragraph of Gen
eral Bells interview had been elimi-

the interview came to its notice, the
Havre industrial association sent the

hold of the land than for few big
owners to get it all. And that is just
the idea of the forest reserve-to let
the little man get the benefit of the
land and timber and not keep him out
as has been supposed. WWe will al
ways help the little man as against
the big.
Il have been asked why it is not
possible for lumber company to buy
all of the lumber in one reserve and
thus create a monopoly, and I answer
that we are careful not to sell enough
to one company or individual to make
possible monopoly.
Zone of the greatest benefits of the
forest reserve has been the prevention
of fires. Three years ago when I
was here the air was full of smoke,
and I saw fires on every side. I see
none now, and wehave demonstrated
that we can control forest fires. We
have our rangers out in every reserve
on a. constant guard against destruc-
tion in this way. ..-4.. .-..-
TN one state last year there was a
loss of $250,0O0 by the state and $780,
900 loss by private owners. One-tenth
as much timber was lost by fire in
that state as wascut. In all the ma
tional reserves last year the loss was
only $4,000, and less than one-tenth
of / per cent of the timber area was
burned over.''
