FOREST FIRES.
The Watehful Rangers and the Way
They Fight the Flames.

inc Watehtul Rangers and the Way
They Fight the Flames.
In almost any Of the western noun.
tains the traveller sees the fire warn
ings OF the forest service, and he IS
likely to meet some of the rangers.
You VIII find them crossing the high
Sierras in California, in the Crazy
mountains Of Montana, among the
Olympics In Washington or following
the old Apache trails along the mesas
In Arizona. Wherever he Is. the ranger
keeps q keen lookout for the smoke Of
forest fires, and in the clear western
atmosphere even little smoke column
can be detected from afar AS soon as
he discovers 1t the ranger takes his Ak
and shovel and goes as only a western
horse and rider can. Many small fires
are stopped by this watchfulness but
there are others which take many men
many hours to subdue A fire in
chaparral so thick that Il man can
hardly force his way through It and
parched by six months OF drought
makes hard and trying fighting Then
there are fires In the big timber among |
the dead trees of old windfalls and !
overhead fires that spread faster than
man can run. If unchecked. they
VIII burn for weeks over thousands o.
acres Of timber.
And all this destruction may be caus-
ed by a carelessly left campfire or
match dropped from horseback. The
sheep men used to set the forest on
fire purposely, for the year after fire
the burned acres yield fine forage.
Happily this practice is discontinued.
Sparks from locomotives now set more

two babes, one 2 and the other year
old. 5st.
About a quarter of a mile from the
house was several piles Of potatoes,
and cows were making for them.
Mrs. Ives took the children to win-
dow and told them to stay there and
watch her drive the cows away. ii
was while she was absent that the
fire broke out.
A passing farmer saw the blaze and
pulled the elder child out of the vim
dow, but not until it's clothing was
nearly all burned off.
It's condition was such that the
youngest babo was not thought of.
The wind was blowing gale. 4
Russian laborer was watering stock
at the barn near the house and did
not see the fire until the house was
enveloped in flames. He then ran
about crying over the loss of ; shot
gun which was in the building.
Mr.. Ives was formerly foreman Of
one Of the big valley farms near Far

STEALS; ENDS LIFE
Cashier Of Bank at Emardo Shcw Te
Have Embezzled.

Grand Forks, N. d., Oct. 6.-John
Hempsted, cashier Of the state Bank
Of Emardo, was a defaulter, and It
was because of the fact that he took
his own life in Grand Forks. His
embezzlements may reach total Of
10000
The amount Of the shortage in the
Farmers Elevator Company Of Emar-
do has not been established, but the
estimates run as high as $13, 900.
Hempsted was secretary and treasurer
Of the company and kept it's funds in
the bank of which he was cashier.
The account was overdrawn $1,000,
and tits believed thatin the neighbour
hood of $4,000 should have been
shown to the credit of the concern.
He was bonded and the company
will lose nothing.
Hempsted also used the funds of the
bank unlawfully. The amount of the
bank shortage is not known. AS the
agent of land firms, Hempsted re-
turned no reports of collections made
on contracts this year, although 1t IL
known that he was paid.

ANOTHER PLEA FOR AN ADJUST.
MENT OF THE MIDDLE.


1.-The News has so constantly and so
often begged that the muddle now ex-
sting between the city of Brunswick
and the Mutual Light and Water Com
pany be adjusted along common sense
lines that It seems almost like fool
sishness to make another plea for such
a condition.
However, we are going to submit the
case to those gentlemen at interest
one more time, in the hope that they
will see the wisdom of our position
and terminate an unfortunate situa-
I ton, daily and hourly initiating
against the material growth and dc
velopment of this city. We are not
in position to know just what the diff
ferences are, but we do know that they
exist. and that Brunswick is suffering
directly from An, con1iti''n. Both of
these interests should give and take
in handling this subject. around which
is centered in sense. the very future
of the city.
Two sets of experts have been over
the books of the Mutual Light and
Water Company lately, and most GER
tainly, if they know their business,
they have arrived at the correct fig
ures as representing the earnings of
the company for the time covered by
the examinations. 1t seems to us that
the rest ought to be easy. If the earn
ings are not in reason as against the
investment, then the city should not
insist on any further reduction in rates
at this time. If, on the other hand,
the figures show excessive dividends
and earnings in ratio to capital, then
the company ought to yield and make
reductions in their rates.
The matter is one directly effectlng
Brunswick in many material aspects,
and every man, woman and child in
the confines Of this city, who hope to
see it grow and develop, are indulging
the hope that this disagreeable tan
gle will be adjusted at once.
AS we have stated before, the two
interests at issue ought to get together
on some equitable basis and enter into
a contract mutually satisfactory and
insuring the building of that much-talk-
ed of trolley line. There is no i'm
provement that we can think of that
would do more for Brunswick at this
particular time than the building of
this line and we all know that its
coming is conditioned en- the adjust
ment of these differences.
Then again, we, most of us, know
this Mutual plant has been a political
foot ball for years, to be tossed about
at the will, of this or that political fact
lion. always engendering bitterness
and strife and absolutely forcing this
property to become an issue in every
political campaign in the community.
If we settle the matter now, we re-
move it from politics forever; we put
the burden of building the trolley line
squarely up to the people who hold
the franchise, and we remove a con-
sdition which has been standing in the
way of a healthy growth in this city
for years.
Won't you gentlemen of the city
council and the Mutual Light and Wa
ter Company lay aside every particle
of personal feeling in this case and act
for Brunswick?
