1t is said BY many that all Stevens

dry at the coming election. Why should
this be so? Do not the people of our
little city see the bad effects Of the
liquor business as we'll OF even better
than any other city in the county? ANY
voter who viii stop to think knows that
liquor is the enemy OF prosperity and
the foe OF labor, that it degrades all who

source from which comes recruits to our
criminal classes, that large majority

young man be frequenter of saloons
and his employer be acquainted of the

the good name OF any man who spends
his money over the bar? Are there any

ness from his hand and robbed BIN of

Judgment essential to the more lucrative
employments? Does the saloon ever
elevate, ennoole and improve the human
character? Does the influence of the
saloon ever change shiftless loafer into

brutal husbands and inhuman fathers

To obtain the greatest results in
protection against fire, with mini
mum expense, the federal forestry
service has decided to establish on
the most advantageous points Of
the National forests in the West a
series Of lookout stations from
which news Of the beginning Of
forest fires can be telephoned to all
forest officers. AS all OF these sta
tons viii command view Of the
country for many miles. the work
of detecting and extinguishing
fires in their incipency will be
greatly facilitated, so that hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars worth
OF timber can be saved annually
by this innovation. Fire losses in
the national forests are kept at a
point where they are trivial, when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands
contained in unprotected areas.
