This was followed by an outburst
of sobbing and the people who had
been lettering about the building
silently moved away some distance to
get beyond hearing of her distressful
cries.

benzine, which ignited and caused a
great explosion, and that the great
airship was destroyed.

COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

The balloon blew up Unexpectedly
\ fierce gust of wind tore the bal
loon from its anchorage and drove
il in a southwesterly direction for
some 50 yards. Here the rear end
of the great fabric dropped and smoke
and flames were seen TO burst out
from one end to the other. Then In
few seconds came the explosion and
a great column of flame shot upward
into the air This was followed by
the crashing down to the earth of
the motors and frames that had been
attached to the under side of the air
ship. Several bystanders were
knocked down.
Two causes had conspired 10 make

enforcing the law is to provide pen
alties for violating the law. This is
all Mr.. Taft asks for and it is a thing
that is founded upon all human ex-
perience of government. Every law
is restriction on individual action.

fact that Mr.. Taft uttered mo help

violating the law against rebates or
the corporations who have sought
and accepted rebates. On the con-

THE POSITION OF JUDGE TAFT

The New York Times will support
Mr. Taft. but it is very unhappy be-
cause of his speech of acceptance.
Apparently the New York paper ex-
pected to see Mr.. Taft repudiate the
policies of President Roosevelt. and
it cannot forgive him For not doing
so. Commenting upon Mr.. Tafts
declaration that if elected president
he will follow in the footsteps of
President Roosevelt in working to
force all great corporations to obey
the law, the Times says:
The bulk of his speech consists
of advocacy of new laws of penalty
and destruction OF helpful counsel.
of encouragement, of opportunity
sought out and indicated, we find
very little. OF appeal for new laws
to punish transgression there is
much. The candidate has worked
himself into a stern and Calvinistic
temper. He applies the doctrines of
Calvinism to our political and eco
nomic problems. Fashioning his
thought upon the thought of Mr..
Roosevelt, he persuades himself that
the American people are given over
to sin. As Calvin taught that fallen
man is incapable of voluntary repent
ance, so Mr.. Taft holds with Mr..
Roosevelt that our corporations must
be cudgeled into salvation"
Mr. Taft has been accused by his
opponents, during the past two
months of leaning too much toward
Roman Catholicism, then too much
toward Unitarianism; now il APP
pears that he has something of the
John Calvin about him, and this. the
Times says, is very bad.
The whole system of government
in all countries, Catholic, Protestant,
Agnostic, is in this way Calvinistic

Effective Jan. 1, 1908, the follow ing changes have been made in the administration of what was former ly the west end of the Black Mesa (N) National Forest:
 That portion of the Black Mesa (N), south of line commencing at the rim of the west edge of the White Mountain Indian Reserva- ton and extending west along the rim to Bakers Butte, thence north down Pivot Rock Canyon to West Clear Creek and west down West Clear Creek to the West line of the forest, has been added to the Tonto forest and is administered by Su- pervisor w. H. Reed, with head quarters at Roosevelt.
 That portion of the Black Mesa (N), west of Leonard Canyon and north of the new Tonto boundary has been added to the San Fran, cisco Mountains Forest. and is ad- ministered by Supervisor F. s. Breen, at Flagstaff. MT. Breen will retain jurisdiction over the Mud Tank Sheep Trail as formerly.
 As has been announced before, the office of the modified Black Mesa (N) Forest is now at Show low and will be administered by MT. A. J. Mackay.

WAR ON BEASTS OF PREY

The offerings of bounties for the scalps of predatory animals has so often failed to accomplish the good hoped for that the bounty plan has lost favor in many localities The Wool Growers Association of Oregon has just gone on record at it's meeting at The Dalles as favor ing the abandonment of the bounty system and substituting the system of killing the animals hy private effort and the employment of pro- fessioral hunters. The Association will take up the work, and ask assistance from the National As Iociation.
 J. N. Burgess. president of the National Association, estimates that Oregon sheep owners lost the past year $25O,OOO by predatory animals, and that the loss of other farm stock, including poultry, would increase the loss to half a million dollars.
 The United States forest service 1as demonstrated that efficient york can be done by trained hun ters who are sent to the ranges to make a special business of killing wolves and such other denizens of pf the forests as prey on focks of sheep. A number of such hunters | are now at work. and they are rid ling some of the ranges very rapid ly of the animals which do so much damage each year. Wolves are tracked to their dens. the pick and shovel as we'll as the rife are brought into play, and the young are found and destroyed. A cam paign of that kind strikes at the root of the evil.
 So vast. however, is the western country that the work of a few hunters can give only local relief 1; but if state Stock Growers Associa- tions go at in earnest, as Oregon organizations propose, the war will soon grow decidedly interesting for the four footed skulkers that have grown fat on mutton. pork, veal and poultry.
