GREETING!

The "Denning" fence has come into universal use
during the past few years because of the quality
of the meteral used and of its perfect
ton that we do deem it necessary TO call
your attention to any particular feature in fact
there are many points in its favor that we
are unable ourselves, determine which
one to lay the greatest stress. pleased Gus
toner is what counts and have them all
over the country ready to testify that the "Den-
ming" fence is by far the superior of any other
woven wire fence the market
We sincerely hope that we may be favored
with your business in the future. Quality and
price is what counts and we give you both.
Call and be convinced.

FOREST FIRES OF 1908.

p IN the most disastrous forest fires
that have swept the United States and
British Columbia since 1871 it is esti-
mated that upward of s75 900, 900 worth
Of timber has been destroyed. with a
loss of life of more than $50. with thou
sands OF men. women and children
made homeless and with many towns
and villages burned out OF existence.
There is no question that much of
this enormous loss is the penalty paid
for a general continued indifference to
the demand for forest protection and
failure 10 take the ordinary precau-
tions. II ought TO teach a lesson.
1t ought to move every state and
the congress TO immediate action.
not only to provide protection against
a future devastation of the forests. but
to replant the timber lands at once and
restore them for the years to come
This problem is receiving the atten-
ton OF the American Civic association
and OF other organizations actively in
terested in the present and future of
America. II is a subject which ought
to enlist the serious thought and the
needed support OF every good citizen
1t is impossible to figure in dollars
and cents the actual losses caused by
the confagrat lions which swept the
northern. northwestern and eastern
states.
British Columbia. Michigan. Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota and Pennsylvania
suffered most. but great losses also
occurred in New York. Maine. Wash
ington. Oregon. Nevada. California and
one or two other states.
1t is estimated that a million acres of
timber land were laid waste by the
Michigan fires. the loss in timber being
estimated at SIS, 900 900 to $40. 900. OOO In
Wisconsin the loss is placed at IS, 000,-
900. In Minnesota between four and
five hundred thousand acres of valuable
land were burned over. with a loss Of
not less than $4,000, 900. Pennsylvania
fires destroyed timber upon a hundred
thousand acres. including fifteen thou
sand acres Of the state reserve. Names
loss is placed at $4,000
To these figures must be added the
tremendous losses in the destruction of
growing timber and the burning of
humus. as well as the property of
towns and villages. This. then. is the
cost of indifference as it is to be calcu-
lated In dollars and cents But there is
another toli-the human lives sacrificed.
There is only one means of canceling
the losses in any measure. and that Is
prompt action to take care of the flu
ture.

STRENUOUS FATALlSM.
(Washington Star.)

Explorer Peary was talking in New

reaching the pole with the Roosevelt
They say you are a fatalist," said a
reporter They say that you believe
you are fated to find the pole before

The explorer laughed.

and strenuous kind-like that of old
Abe Cruger.
"Old Abe lived in New England in
the days of Indian warfare. He was a
fatalist Of a pronounced type; never
theless he would not venture forth
without his blunderbuss.
"One day he had an important err

MILE RECORDS ON LAND.

For convenience in comparing speeds
made on land by various vehicles as well
as by horses and men the following table
of mile records has been prepared by a
writer in the Metropolitan:
Electric locomotive, q seconds 1903
Automobile, 2Sl2 seconds. 1906
Steam locomotive, % seconds. 1893
Motor paced cycle, l minute 10 sec
onds, 1904
Bicycle, unpaced. l minute 40 2-5 seconds,
1904
Running horse. l minute 35Iz seconds,
1890.
Pacing horse. l minute - seconds. 1906.
Trotting horse, l minute 5s1z seconds.
1906
Man skating. minutes 90 seconds. 1896
Man running, minutes 12s4 seconds. 1857.
Man walking. minutes % seconds, 1890.
IL will be observed that the difference
between the locomotive and the automo-
bile is trifling. For 100 miles the record of
the steam locomotive is much better than
that of the auto. However. both the cleo
trio locomotive and the auto may be ex-
pected to show further Improvement as
their development is incomplete while
their steam brother has attained about
the limit. The horse racing and foot rae
ing records added to the table were all
made in recent years Evidently we breed
better and train better than ever before

REFORM"

Sing heigh for tariff reform. The COM
mittee on ways and means will begin
hearings in Washington today. when
each manufacturer who is at present
enjoying the benefits of protection will
put i'm his plea for an additional rake
OF. The hearings will be completed and
the schedules tinkered in time for the
extra session Of congress. which Pres
ident-elect Taft is in duty bound TO call
The Republican platform was so de-
lightfully indefinite on the tariff ques-
ton that reform is not promised and
therefore cannot reasonably be expect
ed In his speech Of acceptance. Mr..
Taft used the following words:
The Republican doctrine of protection.
As definitely announced by the Republican
convention OF this year. and by previous
conventions. g that a tariff shall be i'm
posed on all imported products. whether
of the factory, farm or mine, sufficiently
great to equal the difference between the
cost Of production abroad and at home.
and that this difference should, of course
include the difference between the higher
wages paid in this country and the wages
paid abroad and embrace a reasona bic
profit 10 the American producer
For TIE first time in the history Of
the country it is proposed 10 guarantee
"a reasonable profit to the American
producer" or course the producers
themselves will be on hand at the hear
ings to look after that reasonable
Profit" The Republican tariff plank is
remarkable outside OF this guarantees
clause, and most amusing incident
concerning il occurred during the re-
cent campaign. The Omaha Bee. whose
editor and proprietor is Republican ma
tional committeeman from Nebraska,
laboring under the impression that the
words were contained in a speech by
Mr.. Bryan. raked the meaningless jum-
ole fore and aft as follows:
Nothing prettier in tire catch-all line
has been offered in this campaign The
most hidebound stand-patter In the coun-
try can accept that as satisfactory. and
the rank free. trader can find delight in
~ The declaration means simply nothing.
M attempt TO legislate along that line
would simply open the way TO Interim

a reasonable profit for hair-splitting on
wages In one industry. price Of raw ma
terial in another. rebates and drawbacks
il a third. and SO on through the list
OF thousands Of articles that are now on
the tariff lists. Under such proposition an
attempt at tariff revision. at Bry'an's di-
rection. would serve only 10 halt indus
trial and commercial progress and keep
business unsettled during his term of Of
flee.
The Bee was entirely correct in its
estimate Of the Republican. tariff plank
except that Mr.. Bryan does not figure
in it. OF course there VIII be no hon
ct attempt at revision and the bus
mess OF the fellows who are reaping
the profits will not be unsettled because
they know in advance just what's going
