Supervisor, James Blackhall, of the
HAYDEN National Forest, was down
from EncampmeDt. He said the
very dry condition of the mountains at
this time was a matter OF serious con-
cerm to forest officers. No now of
any const quence has fallen this fall
and The mountains are in a very dry
condition. and a fire at this time with
The prevailing high winds, would be
disastrous. Mr.. Blackhall has had
"A ranger riding daily between Bridger
Peak and Hog Park, watching for
fires. This route being right on the
backbone OF the mountain, would en-
able a ranger to see IA fire at any point
on either side of the range. The snow
fall of Saturday night, light tho it
was, will be of some benefit.

Tyhoid Serum Successful.

A special of recent date from
Omaha, Neb., brings the good news
that the tests and experiments
which were going on there at Fort
Omaha for a serum which will
make persons immune from
typhoid, in the same way that va
cine and anti-toxiue, counterfeit
the evil effects of small pox and
diptheris, has been highly success
full.
The tests were made on three
soldiers, who have since been pro-
nounced immune of typhoid. On
June 18th three men we're vacci-
mated with typhoid serum. H.
side of seven days they developed
the foyer in a very mild form.
When fully recovered they wore
again vaccinated, but no typhoid
symptoms appeared. Ten days
ago the last aud the most severe
test was applied, and since then
physicians of the pest, tho head
quarters staff and the city OF
Omaha, have been snxiously await.
ing developments.
/ The last was the drinking test
Ordinary water was left for three
days in an open dish. Then in 6
gallon more than a million typhoid
germs were placed. This mixture
was allowed to stand four hours
longer, after which the three sol.
diers drank Of it freely. One who
was not immune would have beeu
stricken by the fever from three
to five days ago, says the physi
clans who have been watching thu
tests. Now that this time has
passed and no symptoms have
shown signs Of developing, the
medical men feel satisfied that tn.
subjects would be unable to con.
tract the disease.

Objects to Horn and Bagasse


Editor Messenger:
Please allow me a small space
to call to the attention of the Ma
yor and Councilmen two practices
that are Objectionable and which
should be stopped right at the be-
ginning.
One, l believe, can be clsssed as
a disturbance of the peace. and is
enough to irritate the nerve Of the
most callous person; it 10 the
blowing of that internal horn by
the oyster dealers. That noise is
horrible, enervating and uncivi-
liked. 1t should be stopped.
The other nuisance is the sugar
cane chewer who throws the peel
ings and bsgasse in all the bitches
and streets. This is disOrderly
and unclean and the movable cane
mills should be regulated to the
back yard aud not Oh the streets,
especially Main street.
An ordinance, strictly enforced,
in regard to above matters would
be much appreciated by the citi.
zens of this town.

A Revolution Which Will Effect Fifty
four Senators.

How the people are capturing the
legislative branch Of the government
through the primary elections, thereby
putting half the United States Senator's
under their direct cote, is one Of the
topics which William Allen White takes
up in "Ths Old Order Changeth" which
he contributes to the February Ameri-
can Magazine. He saysi
The secret ballot, the direct prim-
airy and the purged party-which are
now assured in American politics--do
not set the metes and bounds Of pro-
g'ess toward self-government in this
country. They are fundamental reforms,
it is true, and they are the steps that
are necessary before there may be any
real forward movement. For il will be
seen that each one of these movements
is leveling process, q tendancy TO make
money, property, wealth or distinction
count for nothing save as an indirect
influence in the ballot box. Each of
these innovations, the secret ballot, the
primary and the reformed party, is a
step toward democracy--a step toward
the Declaration Of Independence and
away from the Constitution, which so
feared majority rule that II was hedged
about with checks and balances at every
possible point. In the early days OF
the Republic the people annulled the
Constitution by getting direct vote
on the president. and thus obtained the
executive branch Of the government.
Now they are capturing the legislative
branch through the primary, which to-
day puts over half the United States
senators under the direct vote of tho
peoi e.
