While at times during the past year | deposits have been below the good times of four and five years ago. still our business has been more satisfactory during 1910 than it was in 1909 when taken as a whole. T regard this community as now prosperous and if the people will con tinuo their careful habits, notice able since the slump of 1907 caught many of them for heavy losses on stock holdings, Bisbee will soon be In an ideal condition so far IS pros perity is concerned.
 The wild speculation In stocks cost Bisbee heavily and it is to be hoped that we will see no more Of | this"

FOREST LOSSES ARE
ENORMOUSLY HEAVY
Recent Fires In Idaho and Mon
tana Burn Up Billions of
Feet.

Washington, Oct. 26. - Six billion
board feet of lumber, valued at about
SIS, 600, 900 were destroyed in the recent
forest fircs in the national forest in
Montant and northern Idaho.
The first rough estimate Of the loss
in the district was completed today by
officials of the government forest sery-
ice. 1t shows that the heaviest losses
were in two Idaho forest, the Occur de
Alene, In which 5000, 600 board feet of
timber was killed or destroyed, and
more than 10000 acres burned over.
and the Clearwater, where 1000, 600, 900
feet was burned and 300, 600 acres
burned over.
1t is believed that last summers fires
either burned or killed between / and
2 per cent Of the total stand of forest
timber. AT the present rate of cutting
from the national forests, 5000, 100000
feet is equal to IL years supply. but it is
less than one-sixth of a single years
cutting In the entire country, or enough
TO keep all lumber mills busy for some
thing under two months.

GOES
TO PHILADELPHIANS
In Fifth Game of Worlds Series
Chicago Nationals Were
Badly Beaten.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-The baseball
championship OF the world belongs te
the Phiiadeipnia club or the American
league. They cinched the big pennant
fast yesterday, seven rum to two for
the Chicago Nationals, and there was
none in the big overflow crowd to say
that they had not won 1t fairly and
squarely. Five games were played and
the eastern youngsters tool o OF
them by o%utbatting. outielding and
outrushing the veteran Chicagoans.
They got the jump at the start, and
although Chicago punctuated their
progress with a defeat Saturday, ii
really did not change the situation q
Bit.
The Philadelphians were due. They
won the American league banner In
1902. but there was no worlds series
that year. Five years g the New
York Nationals were too strong fol-
them. So in this year of grace 1t was
not in the cards that they were TO be
denied.

can league n worlds champions
reached home from their victorious trip

erected at the entrance to Broad

lowed to reach the train floor who did
not have a railroad ticket. Not to be
outd0no by this piece uf strategy, nun
dreds lined up at the ticket window
and purchased tickets to nearby sta
lions, thereby outwitting the railroad
officials, and at the same time crOWd-
Ing the big station to overlooking.
A hurry call was sent to nearby po-
lice stations and about 200 policemen
we're Oon on the scene and kept the
crowd back from the entrances.
When the train pulled into the sta
ton the players almost had to fight
their way to the street, where 20 auto
mobiles and the First Regiment band
Of the city were waiting in a crowd
that stretched for a block in every di-
Tection.
The players were entertained at a
dinner, which lasted until S o'clock,
when the Yictors were taken to a To-
cal theater. Here they attracted in
initely more attention han did the
