To Prosecute Parties Responsible for

An echo of the many serious forest
fires that have devastated this section

who haye been suspected of starting
fires in the season when same is pro-
hibited.
The deputy fire wardens of this Sec
ton and the officials of the Kaniksu
National Forest have several cases un-
der investigation, and should sufficient
evidence be found there will be prosecu-
tons. The endangering of life and prop
erty and disregard of laws and rights of
others have been carried too far and
summary lessons will be handed out to
offenders.

already been started before Justice of

Town Betterment SUGGESTION.

AS Boston has it's 1915" so Abing-
ton, Mass, has its 1912. Since Abing-
ton is a good deal smaller than Bos-
ton, it seemed unnecessary to allow
quite as much time to make it "the
finest ever as the larger city had
done. Besides, in 1912 the town of
Arlington will celebrate its two hun
dredth anniversary. The village i'm
provement committee has taken I'D the
matter and has sent out printed let
ter to the townsfolk suggesting several
simple things which can be done by
almost everybody for the betterment
OF his own property and which. if
done at all generally, will mean a great
enhancement in the towns attractive
ness by 1912. The committee itself
will, as far as possible, look after the
public places, such as the grounds
about railroad stations, the schools and
the triangles at the intersections of
the streets.

To forget the inventions of the hour
is an impossibility They are before
one at every turn. and many of them
contain potentialties vast and much
discussed. For that very reason it is
we'll occasionally to contemplate some
invention of the past which works un-
remittingly and inconspicuously for
the welfare of mankind. Consider the
air brake. How many when they take
a journey by rail ever take thought of
the device which stands ready to in
sure safety from possible accidents?
All are so used to sibilant noise below
the cars that they never consider its
portentousness. Yet by this appica
ton of the power of compressed air
tens of thousands of lives have been
preserved and railroad travel has been
made more expedit1ous All this is
arrant truism; not a word of it but
what has been said scores of times be-
fore. But we like to dwell upon the
air brake as one of those typical in
ventions which are doing their work

creations get the glory and applause

The Expense Of a Wife.

A wife is a decided addition to the
demands upon ones purse. In that
sense. however sensible and managing
she may be. she is expensive. But
everything worth having has its price
of one sort or another, and there are
some things which cost much without
which life is hardly worth living.
Said Theirs: Most men contemplate
making some self denial when they
marry They think they will give up
such and such expensive pleasures.
Later on. when they discover that they
cannot do SO. and at the same time
they lack the means to indulge. they
complain that it is the extravaganza
Of their wives which causes the incon-
venience"
Which wise saying is applicable to
men in other countries besides that OF

laid out like park please the passer-
by and add greatly to the appearance
of a town and its approaches.
What parks are meant for and their
value to mankind is concisely de-
scribed by writer in the Los Angeles
Times who says:
parks are, or at least should be,
built for use, not merely to look at.
A park is a piece of the country with
in the town, or piece of land within
the town where the people have all
the freedom and influences of rural
parts. For this reason as little re-
striction as possible should be placed
upon the use of parks and every rea-
sonable provision made for the accom-
mediation and convenience of the pub
lie. No Keep Off the Grass signs
should deter any one from taking roll
Tor nap if he feels like it, upon the
lawns, and plenty of seats should be
provided for all who care to use
them.
"There have been park boards who
seemed to think that the parks were
given them to juggle with and the
public had no rights which they were
| bound to respect. but the shoe is on
the other foot; park commissioners
| have no greater legal rights than the
| public in general. A piece Of land
| within a town is not park, nor will
| it ever be until used. One of the lead
ing park men of the United States has
made the point that great collection

who use the land constitute the park,

r. A. Thayer, known more familiarity
as Bob. who is candidate for state
senator from Stevens county on the Re-
publican ticket, is a young man of more
than ordinary ability. Having been born
and reared on a farm his early education
was acquired by hard knocks. He has
been resident of Stevens county for
twelve years, during which time he has
worked on farms, in the mines, taught
school, and in the meantime was prose-
cutting his law studies until in 1906 he
was admitted to the bar of this state,
since which time he has been actively
engaged in the practice of his chosen
profession Elected a member of the
lower house of the state legislature in
1908, he was appointed as member OF
the Judiciary committee, the roads and
bridges committee, the committee on
dikes, drains and drainage. He was
chairman of the committee of cities and
towns other than frst-class, having
charge of all legislation affecting towns
and cities of this state other than first
class. He, with Representative Halsey,
Of Asotin county. was elected from the
the floor of the house by the members of
the house as member of the commit
tee on education, which committee had
charge OF the new school code. Being a
member O. these important committees
it fell to Mr.. Thayer's lot to have much
to do with the shaping of some very i'm
portant legislation. much of which has
made itself manifest, quite directly, in
untiring efforts of Mr.. Thayer that the
Columbia river appropriation bill was
taken out of the appropriations commit
tee and passed on the evening of the
fifty.seventh day of the session, thus
giving to the residents of that section of
Stevens county more than hope that
in time this great unused artery of COM
merce would be opened up to the SER
vice of the people along its banks. Mr..
Thayer is very enthusiastic over the
success of the work that this appropria-
ton made possible, and if elected to the
senate would be in better position to
secure further and larger appropria-
ton with WHICH to prosecute this most
important work. Mr.. Thayer, having
been a member of the committee on
roads and bridges, sees the necessity OF
amending the state road laws, and he is
in favor of the repeal of the "state-aid"
road law. and in favor OF putting the
question of road building under county
control. He believes our present system
of taxation is unjust and should be so
amended as to make it more equitable
to the taxpayers.
Mr.. Thayer believes in, and will work
for, laws to protect our forests against
forest fires. so that the recent disastrous
forest fires and their accompanying loss
