patrol and the organization Of a force to
battle with them as soon as discovered
has held the losses down to a point whore
they are Insignificant when one considers
the destruction which would have come
about had there been no protection.
Although the fire menace has been seri-
Gus in all sections, officers Of the forest
service estimate that the total cost OF
subduing the fires in all the national
forests during the season, exclusive OF tho
salaries OF forest officers, will not be more
than $4,000. This sum Is small when 1t
is remembered that It means fire pro-
lection for approximately 16S,O0O,00
acres OF national forests. Progressive
state fire wardens and forest officers, In
divlduals and private corporations hav-
ing large timber holdings, have organized
fire-fighring forces along much the same
lines as the government IN many cases,
and In this way they have given pro-
lection to millions OF acres of timber
which might otherwise have been de-
stroyed had they been left unprotected

WISE BIRD is THIS CROW

fornia.

Tales OF the big gulls which accompany
the army transports all the way In
the long journey from San francisco are
not infrequent. but It has remained for a
California crow to wear the laurel. II
you pass Hornbrook any fine morning at
1870 O'clock sharp and crane your neck out
OF the Pullman window up toward the sky
you will observe a fine black devil OF a
GROW sitting complacently In the tapmost
branches of an old pine. preening his feath-
ers and apparently half asleep.
But he is far from being asleep. On tho
contrary, he is very much awake, for he
is keeping a bright lookout for train No. IA,
whose smoke is visible every morning at
this hour as It comes tearing along the
road. AS the cars approach the tree there
is a subdued, stately flutter of two black
wirgs. Master Crow rises slowly into the
air and picks up No. IA with the abandon
and ease of a crow hobo as 1t passes.
He drops to the roof Of the car as II It
were his rightful home, and though the
engineer has tried every way to play q
Joke on him by footing the whistle, ring
ing the bell madly and making a general
racket, the crow solemnly refuses to be
dislodged. He is an old friend now and the
passengers on the 1880 have learned to
look for him as regularly as they do for
their morning papers.
Appetizers are thrown to him all the
way TO SiskiyOu. which is reached at S;B
o'clock, where his ebony majesty enjoys
a regular meal, to which his acumen and
perseverance have faily entitled him.-San

YEAR OF GREAT FOREST FIRES
Northern Half of the Country Seri-
Ously characterization of
nab Protection.

The forest fires which have Just laid
waste whole counties in Minnesota, Michi-
gan, and extended into Wisconsin, de-
stroying many towns and making thous-
sands OF persons homeless, have focused
the attention OF both government and
state forest officers on the enormous
losses Of forest wealth which will be
checked up to the year 1908.
In the whole northern half of the
United States the reported destruction
by forest fires has been terrific. and It
is likely that tho year will go down as
one of the worst in the last quarter
century. 1t seems that no part OF the
country has escaped the work of the
devastating flames. The latest disasters
in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin
are the worst Of the many that have
visited the lake states this year. Other
sections have also suffered from forest
fires during the spring and summer
months, and the people Of the Pacific
coast, the Rocky mountains, and the New
England states and Canada have had a
thorough, and in some cases a continuous,
experience in ~fire-fighting.
II is doubtful whether this years actual
losses from forest fires will ever be known,
but It is certain that they will run up

will be startled when a compilation Of
statistics at the end of the season makes
It possible to give even the most conserva-
tive figures. Were all the timber that
has been burned up during this year in
all parts OF the country converted into
cash, this would provide for a good-sized
navy Of first-class b~attleships.
The fires have lone good in one way;
they nave focused peoples attention on
the seriousness Of the forest-fire problem,
practical foresters say, and have started
a widespread movement in many states
to check them by adopting rational sys-
TENS Of fire protection. Among thinking
people there has been awakened an in
tense interest In throwing a better pro-
lection around the forests, which grow
more important as a natural resource as
the timber supply dwindles.

BULLETS CURE FOR PARALYSIS
Remarkable Result of n MurderOus
Assault on DefenseIess
Man,

TIT shots aimed to kill David F, Rowe
Of Philadelphia, really effected a wonder
full cure. Prior to the murderous assault
on him by his son-in-law. Casper Cooper,
Rowe had been for a long time n paralytio
on the right side. When taken to the Penn
sylvania hospital after the shooting, his
death was expected in a few hours, but In
stead of that he left the hospital last week,
and now declares that every vestige OF
paralysis is gone and that he feels better
than he has for years.
II is less than three weeks ago that Rowe
was shot five times by Cooper, who then
committed suicide. Cooper fired at his
father-in-law as the latter lay helpless and
paralyzed on a couch. unable 20 do any
thing to defend himself. When he left the
hospital Rowe's arm still contained three OF
the leaden pellets, his thumb was stu in
splints from a wound that cut to the bone,
and cotton bandages covered a fresh scar
on his breast. In spite of his 90 years he
has been up and about ever since, with not
a trace OF paralysis left. He even went so
far yesterday as to visit his farm, some dis
lance from his home.
In the very room In which he was SO
murderously assaulted, at his home, No.
1917 North F1fty-ninth street, he stood
erect and laughingly told how he
positively refused to die because the hos
pital physicians said he would; but in-
stead had been wonderfully cured.
tits a miracle that I lived; but the mar
velous part of my recovery lies in the fact
that the shots cured me of my paralysis"
said Rowe. The day the shooting hap
pened, and a long time prior to that, my
entire right side was paralyzed. I had to
drag my right foot and my right arm was
useless. But today the paralysis has en-
tlrely gone, my right foot is as good as my
left and the right arm has almost returned
to its full strength. No. I do not attempt
to explain the matter. Nor have the doc
tors attempted to go into details, or even
express an opinion, and I am satisfied to
know that I am whole again.
II first knew of my ability to use my
arm after I had been in the hospital three
days. i almost doubted my senses. but It
was a fact. Then the side got right and
when finally I was able to get out Of bed
1 found my foot in good shape. Today I
feel in better health than for a long time"
