GREAT FOREST
FIRES OF THE PAST
(Forestrp Service Bulletin.)

(FOreStrp Service Bulletin.)
The terrible work of the flames
which have burned over and destroy
ed hundreds of thousands of acres
of timber and property to the value
of millions in the Lake States, re-
calls to memory other great forest
fires which have attained historic inn
portance.
One of the earliest of these was
the great Miramichi fire of 1925. 1t
began its greatest destruction about
one o'clock in the afternoon of Octo-
Der of that year, at a place about
so miles above the town of Newcas-
tie, on the Mirafnichi River, in New
Brunswick Before ten o'clock at
night it was 20 miles below Newcas-
tie. In nine hours it had destroyed
a belt of forest 80 miles long and 25
miles wide. Over more than two
and one-half million acres almost ev-
cry living thing was killed Even
the fish were afterwards found dead
in heaps on the river banks. Five
hundred and ninety buildings were
burned, and a number of towns,
including Newcastle, Chatham, and
DouglastoWn, were destroyed. One
hundred and sixty persons persisted,
and nearly a thousand head of stock
The loss from the Miramichi fire is
estimated at 100000, not including
the value of the timber
In the majority of such forest fires
as this the destruction of the timber
is a more serious loss, by far, than
that of the cattle and buildings, for
it carries with it the impoverishment
of whole region for tens or even
hundreds of years afterwards. The
loss of the stumpage value of the
timber at the time of the fire is but
a small part of the damage to the
neighborhood. The wages that would
have been earned in numbering, add
ed to the value of the produce that
would have been purchased to supply
the lumber camps, and the taxes that
would have been devoted to roads
and other public improvements, fur
nish a much truer measure of how
much; sooner or later, it costs a re-
gion when its forests are destroyed by
fire.
The Pashtigo fire of October, 1871,
was still more. severe than the Mir
amchi. 1t covered an area of more
than 1000 square miles in Wisconsin,
and involved loss in timber and
other property, of many millions of
dollars. Between 1900 and 1900
persons persisted, including nearly
half the population of Pashtigo, at
that time town of 1000 inhabitants.
Other fires of about the same time
were most destructive in Michigan. A
strip about 40 miles wide and 1870
miles long, extending across the

MRS. TAFT'S BRIDAL TABLE.
New York Press.)

The wife of the Republican candi-
date for the presidency has many val
liable possessions, gifts from the
mighty ones of earth, kings, emperors
and princes, but her most cherished
possession is round mahogany table,
black with age and showing daily use.
This table is used by the Taft family
whenever their household goods are
set up and has been ever since Mrs.
Taft attained the dignity of the mar
r1ed state 1t was the table on which
the wedding breakfast lof William
Howard Taft and Helen Heron was
served some odd years ago. Judge
HERON and Mrs. Heron, parents of
Mrs. Taft, were lovers of old mahog-
any, and they have many beautiful
pieces in their Cincinnati home. At
ter the wedding Mrs Heron believed
that the young couple would appre-
clate having for their dining table the
same board on which they had partak-
en- breakfast on the bridal day. So
1t was sent to their modest home in
Chiffon Cincinnati, and it was set
for the first meal after Mr.. Taft
brought his bridal home from the
wedding journey and ever since it has
been the medium of the family fare
as well as its most elaborate hospi-
tally. Mrs. Taft took the table to
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-09-23

the Philippines and again it came
back to Washington. Just now it is
carefully swathed in soft cotton wrap
pings and stored in the commodious
attic of the Assistant Secretary of
War Mr. Oliver, awaiting its resur-
rection But whether its next APP
pearance be in the White House or in
the private home of William Howard
Taft, it will be the dining table of
the family, as Mrs Taft expresses it,
while the clan holds together
