A NEEDED LESSON
FROM FOREST FIRE
Destruction of Valuable Timber this
Summer Show Necessity for
Work by Private Owners.

one of the lessons which will final
ly be drawn from the trying expert
ence OF the present forest fire season,
In the belief of officials of the United
States department of agriculture. is
the need for wider organization
among private owners of timber to
safeguard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already in the
northwest, both on the Pacific coast
and in Montana and Idaho, timberland
owners have formed themselves into
associations which assess the mem
bers on ar acreage basis and thus
meet the cost of maintaining a regu-
lar patrol and fire-fig hting organiza-
ton. Only by getting together can
private owners usually assure them
selves of protection, for fire is no re-
spector of boundary lines and the
man who undertakes to keep it out of
his own timber will want it kept out
of his neighbours, too. Whenever pos
sible the governments forest officers
cooperate with the force put in the
AiSiu ny INC ooooSiaLioL, u lidI TIC
employees of the government and
those of the private owners are han
died practically as unit in fighting
the common enemy
This cooperation is advantageous
to both sides. Protection of the ma
tional forests necessarily carries with
it good deal of protection of adjoin-
ing or interior holdings. If the pri-
vate owners would everywhere Shout
der their reasonable share of the bur.
den the public would gain both
through more general forest conserva-
ton and through relief from the ne
cessity of paying for the protection
of private timber in order to protect
it's own.

From the Local Yard Master to the
General Yardmaster at Hanni-
bal is the Rise Of
keokuk Man.
IS YOUNG YARDMAsTER
Started his Career Ten Years Ago,
Gradually Attaining Promotions
by the Act Of Persevering
in His Work.

Harry l.. Roberts who for the past
ten years has been in the employ of
the c., B. & @. has been promoted
from his position as local yardmaster
to the general yardmaster at Hannibal.
This promotion is one of great ex-
tent as it possesses responsibility and
attentive business qualities which
readily signifies that his services
while connected with the company
here have been valuable.
He started his career in railroad
work ten years ago. as switchman
under the supervision of his father j.
R. Roberts, who at that time was the
local yardmaster, and continued the
work up until two years ago, when his
father entered upon other duties thus
leaving the position as yard master
vacant. The veteran yardmaster was
succeeded by his son Harry who at the
present time is the youngest yard
master in the Hannibal division which
extends from St Louis to Burlington
and it is also the second largest yard
in this section next to st. Louis.
Mr.. Roberts left last night for Han
nibal where he will spend several
days in becoming acquainted with the
men in his charge and the manner in
which lAe worl. will be carried on in
tLat city.
The vacancy as local yardmaster
will be filled by T. F. Gallagher for
mer night yardmaster and his vacancy
will be filled by G. M. Hart who was

Ninth Street the Same.

Running on same line as the Sixth
street extension, there is a strip of
city property northeast of the Grand
avenue line at Ninth street that has
never been converted into public
drive and has been unused except for
the small path that leads over the
hill made by the youngsters in years
gone past, who go each summer morn
ing, afternoon and night to the canal
at the foot of Ninth street for bath.
South OF this strip of street extern
sion is the beautiful Joy green" one
of the garden spots of Keolsuk which
has been transformed into a place of
rare and tasteful beauty by the in
stallation of broad cement walks. the
planting or shrubs, plants and trees
and consistent terracing off of the
ground. Mr. Joys idea was a SPLEEN
did and practical one and it is to
harmonic with this and number of
other pretty terraces all along the
Grand avenue bluff that the city will
think favorably of the petition pre-
scented them and probably order the
work of parking the Sixth and Ninth
street extensions, commenced at
once
In accordance with the proposed
plan. the city engineer has drawn up
plans of the two plots of ground, so
that the city can get a clearer idea
of what to do to make the places as
pretty as possible after workmen have
started on them A curved cement
walk, five feet in width and the shape
of horseshoe will probably be the
plans of the walks to be placed in.

: HAS THIRTY s1GNERs
Extreme Ends of North Ninth and

OF the most ideal spots in the city,
overlooking the broad and grand Mis-
sissippi, turned into resting places
with macadamed driveways leading
to them and five foot cement walks
running parallel with the drives,
placed in.
One of these spots" is located at
the extreme end of North Sixtn
street. Crossing Grand Avenue on
Sixth and leading to the edge of the
bluff from the north side of Grand,
is space that has never been utiliz-
ed as public park or resting place
and the feasibility of such plan has
for number of years been seen but
no effort made by the city or the pub
lie to encourage the parking of the
unused ground
On one side of this city extension
the Howell property is located, and
on the north side of the unfinished
drive which has been cut through and
used both privately and publicly for
a number of years, is the Blom prop

Three colyars Died, Two Now Have
the Dreaded MaIady, Mother Be-
Ing Taken to tho Hospital
This Morning.

Two Sons Died First of Year, Father
Three Weeks Ago, Daughter
In Hospital With it and
Now Mother.

1t is up to the board Of health to
pay a visit to the home of John
Colyar. deceased, at 100 Reid street,
to see if the proper sanitation is be-
ing maintained at that place
Three weeks ago last Sunday morn
ing The Gate City published an article
about the unusual number of deaths
occurring in the John Colyar family
in eight months time Two sons died
last January within two weeks of each
other, then the father died three
weeks ago, daughter, May, was TAX
en- to the hospital with typhoid and is
still there, although improving.
What argues forcibly in favor of
the board of health visiting the Colyar
home pretty soon, is the fact that the
mother of the family, Mrs. Caroline
Colyar, had to be taken to the hos
pital this morning, suffering from the
same malady that her two offsprings
and husband died of-typhoid fever.
The ambulanc removed Mrs. Colyar
to st. Joseph's hospital at ten o'clock
today. Yesterday, the woman's fever
reached 102 degrees, the worst day
she has yet spent since she was taken
i'll two weeks ago, and confined to her
bed that length of time.
The only member of the Colyar fam.
lily now at home is a daughter, Eva
line, who is perfectly well, although
taken ill at the time of her fathers
death.
Says Water Does It.
1t will be year this October that
the Colyar family moved to Keokuk
from northern Illinois. Three weeks
ago last Saturday night at eleven
o'clock in conversation with Mrs.
Caroline Colyar, who became a widow
that day, she told Gate City report.
er that she attributed the rapid death
rate in her family to the drinking
water used by them. In northern Hi
nois where the family lived for many
years. she said they were used to
drinking clear, sanitary well water.
When the family came here they
changed to river water.
But no other typhoid cases have
been reported in the city and
Keokuk's water test stands up where
those Of other cities fall down. SO it
is plainly evident that hydrant water
cannot be the cause of five cases of
typhoid fever in the family of the late
John Colyar, three of which proved
fatal and the other two doubtful,

combined pledge and prediction yes
terday in an address in this city
In addition to his pledge that the
administration in Milwaukee would
make good. Mr.. Berger made the first
definite statement as to what his party
intends to do and what 1t does not
intend to attempt.
Here are some of the things he says
the Socialists win do:
Build and operate a municipal cleo
trio light and power plant.
Drive out grafters and contractors
rings thorough investigation to be the
first step.
push public works especially in
winter, to give employment to as many
as possible.
"Pay union wages, although the law
prohibits discrimination between union
and non-union labor.
"Readjust taxes so that their bur-
den will fall in a less degree upon the
poor.
Require street railway and other
utility corporations to give better SER
vice
Fill positions requiring technical or
scientific skill with men of that knowl-
edge, even If II be necessary to go
outside Milwaukee.
Name Socialists to fill places where
questions of policy are to be deter
mined"
Among the things they will not at
tempt are:
abolish capitalism in Milwaukee.
"Create a state Of business uncer-
tainty.
Employ every man or woman out Of
work.
Fill Offices with political henchmen.
"Allow lOafers to retain offices.
Attempt more than the state law

initiative and referendum, which must
wait on state legislation"

ASKS SHIP MASTERS TO
OBSERVE HALLEY'S COMET

WASHINGTON April 11,-Commander
Knapp of the photographic Office Of the
navy has requested all ship masters
who view Halley's comet to make close
observations with their binoculars, spy
glasses or the low power eye pieces of
their sextants, with a view to inform
Ing the office of its brightness as COM
pared with the bright stars in the
heavens; the angular length of its
tail, comparing it with the angular
distance between bright stars near its
form and color.
To assist the ship masters in this
study the photographic office has pre-
pared a chart containing physical de-
tails about the comet and showing its
calculated position in the sky at short
intervals from March IL to May 80. The
statement is made that the comet on
May Is will probably pass between the
earth and the sun, producing transit
of the sun.
