sTUpEaooUs FOREST FIRES.

at the extensive forest fires which ravaged the states of Monts na, Idaho and Washington destroying hundreds if not thousands of square miles of standing timber, eliminat. ing several towns and composing great sacrifice of lives.
 The holocaust was one of the most remarkable ever recorded. And there were remarkable effects and results beside the immediate damage done the forests. The great pail of smoke that arose spread over adjacent states and enveloped in gloom cities that are one thousand miles away from the nearest line of the fire, and the air was rendered smoky even farther south than Nogales, El Paso and the international boundary. The hot smoke created in the atmos- phere vacuum to fill which there followed a cold wave from the eternal snows of the Rocky Noun tains' lofty summits that swept with a biting frost all the states covering the great plains clear to the Missouri river, damaging great ly the crops of fruit and truck farms, and causing no little dis comfort and inconvenience to the people.
 At the time THE OASIS editor was in the state of Colorado. We'd nesday morning he went up to Boulder from Denver, returning at evening to the big city. As the electric car approached Boulder the attention of the passengers was attracted to great cloud of smoke that came rolling along the flank of the Rockies, covering the entire foothill region and extending up ward to the sky line above the rocky crests Of the great mountain chain. At first 1t was thought g sand storm sweeping down from the north, but nearer approach showed that 1t was an immense volume of smoke, bellying out 1T advance and rolling along with { speed and impetuousity that wal fascinatingly beautiful. By thu time Boulder was reached at noor 4he bright sun was overcast, and il a short time the city was envelopet entirely in the tremendous pal 4hat covered thousands of squar miles of territory. Occasionall, the smoke would thin for a feV moments over the face of the SUI showing the great orb suspende' aloft with the semblance of a grea pearl hanging in the sombre sky.
 Reaching Boulder it was learne that the newspapers had receive from the cities lying northward- Longmont, Cheyenne and othe places-telegraphic notice of tn approach of the colossal clouc with the information that it ha .conna from the great forest fire

that it was stiAing to all the in- habitants.
 Onward and southward swept the great pail, enveIoping Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Trinidad and other cities lying along the east flank of the Rockies, and the adjacent foothill region. Thursday El Paso reported dense cloud of smoke in the direction of Tucum- cari, New Mexico, and as there was some Arrangement of telegraphic communication between the two places it was thought at El Paso that Tucumcari was destroyed by
 fire. Friday evening the writer passed Tucumcari en route home, and there hung yet over the sur
 rounding region for hundreds If miles a thin veil of smoke; al d Saturday morning at Fl Paso the atmosphere was bit murky.
 The great volume of smoke was
 swept along by high wind that
 was very cold, coming as intimated
 from the snow clad peaks on the
 lofty heights above, which sent the
 mercury plunging down close to
 the freezing point, and spreading
 away beyond the limit of the
 smoke a sharp frost all the way to the Missouri river, damaging crops l in Kansas and Nebraska and South
 Dakota. The transition from the
 heat at monday to the cold of the
 night was decidedly discomforting,
 and overcoats and wraps laid away
 were brought out for service, per-
 vading the atmosphere in street
 cars, cabs and om nibusses with the
 peculiar aroma of moth balls.
 Wednesday evening the cars were
 crowded with masses of shiverlng
 humanity caught down town with garments of the thinnest texture.
 When they sallied forth in the afternoon-in Denver, Pueblo and other places-the mercury stood at 93 degrees above zero. At 6 o'clock , it had fallen to 50 degrees, at 1C o'clock it was at A degrees, and al daylight Thursday it was 3S de grees above zero-a drop of 55 , degrees within fifteen or sixteer l hours.
 There has been nothing known at any recorded time that mas peer so far reaching in effect and SC 3 serious in damage as the fores l fires that caused all the effect ! noted in this article.

\ SENATORS MAKE
BRYAN SPEECHES.
IOWA
GOOD

We publish this week the recent
speeches delivered at Des Moines by
Senators Cummins and Dolliver. Thes
speeches have been commented upon
far and wide, and so far as we have
noticed the comments have been IA
vorable.
The Springfield, Mass, Republican
has for many years enjoyed the repu-
tation of disregarding parties and
striving to be just and right in its
comments upon men and measures.
Here is what it says about the two
speeches in question::
No one has deemed it worth while,
thus far to point out that the
speeches of Senators Dolliver and
Cummins at Des Moines early this
week could have been rolled into one
and passed off as an address by Mr..
Bryan some years ago criticising the
republican party. How very like the
Bryan of almost any year between
1896 and 1908 was Senator Cummins
assertion that the present leaders OF
the republican party are in league
with the corporations nd have
"scant time to consider the needs and
desires of the great mass of human
ity." When Senator Dolliver used
the word pirates" to describe the
same leaders, he reminded one of Nh
Bryan in his campaigns against a II
the arts and the money of Mark Han
ma. The republican insurgents of this
type ought now to be ready to con
cede that Mr.. Bryan was accurate IL
his claim, in 1908. that the Roosevelt
policies would be safer in his care
than in Mr.. Taft's.

JOHN cowNIE TO THE STATE.

tFrom the Des Moines Tribune.)
There will be but one opinion with
those who read John Cownie's appeal
to the state for fair judgment, and
that the governor has pursued an ex-
ceedingly unwise course in his effort
TO effect a change in the membership
of the board of control.
The governor had the right to
name a new man in Mr.. Cownie's
place at the expiration of his term,
nobody questions that. Although the
senate was insistent that Mr.. Cownie
be retained it would in the end have
recognized the governors right. He
would then have won his point in a
dignified way.
But when he set about it to dis
credit Mr.. Cownia in the eyes of the
state and SO force situation that
would eliminate Mr.. Cownie, he pro-
voked a contest with determined
nan, who has always had the es-
tenn of the state, and who has
twelve years of service behind him,
that the best people in the state have
approved.
Mr.. Cownie is a big, whole-souled
man who has put mind and body into
his work for the state institutions. 1t
has been his pride in life to do well
whatever he has undertaken to do at
all. He is not inclined to retire from
that service discredited. He has
lived in Iowa for fifty-four years, and
been known all of those years as
Honest John" Cownie. He does not
propose to surrender that title to the
esteem of neighbors and friends with
out contest
Mr.. Cownie makes powerful APP
peal for fair judgment of his work
He will make an equally powerful
appeal for fair treatment of the
wards of the state in a subsequent
letter. He proposes to have his view
q the situation at Mitchellville
thoroughly understood and to have
what he had in mind for that and
other reformatories put before the
state. He is aroused and he does
not propose to submit to imputations
either on his character as a man or
service as public official.

the deepest dye upon the Taft adj
ministration. The precedent estab-
lished in this case. if generally fol-
lowed in all public and private bu-
siness, would encourage theft and
robbery and do much to disorganize
society.
If an employee should find burg
lar in his employers store, and
should at great personal risk eject
him, according to the precedent es-
tablished by Taft and Ballinger, the
employe SHOULD he discharged, kick
ed out, called vile names because he
interfered in matters not strictly with
in the line of his employment.

CARROLL AND HIS FRIEND.

.
(From the Des Moines News.)
If Gov. Carroll should be disposed
to resent criticisms of his adminlstra-
ton for having made a desperate and
dishonorable attempt at turning the
state board of conrtol over to the
politicians, let him remember the
advice he received a little over a
year ago. The News. if he will re-
member, pleaded with him for
months not to do it. But one day
he called in as a special adviser the
editor of the morning paper and the
latter saw a chance to favor his ole
and dear friend in the Tenth district
who had fallen by the way to make
room for real progressive. And Gov
Carroll adopted the suggestion that
the farmer member of the board be
displaced by discredited and cast-of
politician. Judge Conner was appoint
ed. There the trouble seemed to
eliminate. But Mr.. Ingham applaud
ed the Conner appointment and re-
joiced greatly at the downfall of Mr..
Cownie.
Again there came a time when the
governor needed help and one of
those to whom he confided his troub-
les was Mr.. Ingham. To him he
showed the perjured affidavits and
obtained from him approval of the
plan he had long had in mind to
strike a body blow at clean govern
ment by doing that which caused
pleasure to every CRATER and corrup-
ZIONIST familiar with the situation.
Now Gov. Carroll must not complain
if his confidential friend deserts him
as the ship is sinking.

RALLINeER NO LONGER USEFUL
TO THE INTERESTS.

The investigation has exposed Bal
linger's relations with the interests
to such an extent that he can - no
longer serve them, and no matter
what the investigating committee ma,
find, the interests will probably ask
Mr.. Ballinger to step down and out,
and he will unhesitatingly obey. The
public will not watch some new man
as closely as they are now watching,
and will continue to watch Ballingar
while he hemains in office. 1t is
now regarded as certain that there
will be minority as well as ma
jority report; that the committee will
probably stand five to seven in favor
Of Ballinger; and if Ballinger does
not resign the fight will be carried
onto the floors of the house and SEN
ate, Where motions will be made to
substitute the minority for the major
ity report. 1t is stated by those who
are well informed. that majority of
the house is opposed to ,Ballinger, but
just what the senate may do is hard
to predict.
The people are under lasting obi
cations to Pinchot. CLAWS and the
other public officials who sacrificed
their positions for the public good.
And the fact that these men lost
their positions for defending the in
terests of the public is stain OF
