FOR NOVEMBER
Copyright by c. II. Reith

the Latin novem (nine), and was
riginally the ninth month of the
year. This brought Thanksgiving
around two months earlier than we
have it now. and it became very
unpopular. The insurgents who
constituted majority in the
agricultural districts, were bittery
opposed to it. They made two
contentious: First, that young
turkeys were not old enough to
market; second, t. at crops had not
progressed to the point where it
was possible to make out whether
there was anything to be thar k1nl
for or not. In 7l3 3. C. the storm
broke. The insurgents carried
GaulBritania and 7 other doubtful
states. and the Forum Immediately
assembled and made November
the eleventh month of the year.
The festive colt will sniff the air
and don his heavy underhair, and
the frenzied candidate will Jump
and hop around upon the stump.
He'll point with pride and view
with fear, and suck and blow the
atmosphere, and then tcgeher W it'll

result.
Does reason haply hold its sw ay,
or is it madness for a day will tell
the people what to think and put
the country on the blink? Cne
cannot tell, but must abide the
count that sees him justified in
courage, confidence or doubt,
according as it may turn out.
One thing alone is sure, it seems
and that is this: No one estcems
patriot in politics. We only trdst

all its thrill and throb. The
moment that he wants a job some

we don't know what to say.
But whether we do i'll or well,
election day alone can tell, or
whether love for us and fear did
any good, will then appear. We
have to judge men as we may, and
where the candidates all say about
the same thing in the end, enc
scarcely knows who is friend.
At any rate the snow will fly,
anG the wild duck spin across the
sky with both eyes focused on the
ground, and his tail-piece going
round and round. The eager
hunter will deploy and supplement
the live decoy. and the pneum-
occus. while the toots will perforate
his rubber boots.
A little shooting now and then is
relished by lot of men. They
like to gaIlivant about and let the
farmers run them out. 1t does
them good to feel, by jing, that
Morgan don't own every thing, and
if came in CONSEQUENCE, and
also tried to climb the fence,

he, too would also get the run.
November will be unusual this
year for the reason that there will
be no full moon. This is because
there will be total eclipse of the
moon on the night of the 18th
when it would otherwise be full.
This eclipse will be visible in IL G
United States and in Wall street,
ard it will send bacon down
couple Of points.
The breath of Winter will distill
upon the outer window sill, and the
chilling calf will hump his back and
burrow deeper in the stack. The
hired man, with wintery spurts will
put on both his undershirts, and
the plutocrat who sell us Goals will
pry our bodies from our souls.
Then let us all embrace the

INTEREST CENTERS
ON new COTTON CROP
Last Week of Old Season Is at
Hand
WEATHER TO BE FACTOR
EquinoctiaI Storms May Give Trouble.
Movement of New Cotton VIII
Be Watched-Attitude
of the Mills
WEATHER TO BE FACTOR

New Orleans, August 21.-This week
in the cotton market, which in reality
will be the last week of the old season,
will be devoted mainly to attempts on
both sides of the market to get a
clearer view of the conditions upon
which the new season will enter. Next
week there will be three days tradin 6
of the old season left, but with the
Labor day holidays in sight there will
be some inclination to even up commit
ments and less inclination to enter into
new business.
This week there will be much guess
ing over what the season-e end statistics
will show, and attempts VIII be made
to discount any surprises that may be
contained in the figures. The wealth r
will be a matter. of Importance, but
not SO much as has been the case for
some time past unless something un-
usual happens. The situation in the
Mississippi valley and in the eastern
belt Is about all that could be desired
for this time of the. year. and enough
rain has fallen in Texas to put an end
to most of the complaints of drouth,
according to the bears.
For several weeks past the bears
have been anxious on account of the
lack OF rain In 1eXaS, but now this
suspense is over. There is one thing
that must be watched for in the line OF
weath err say the bulls, and that is an
equinoctial storm. In the past such
storms have caused violent upward
fluctuations in prices, and therefore this
part of the year is always dreaded by
more timid spectators. The so-called
equinoctial period extends, in the cot
ton market at least, until the first of
October
The movement of new cotton will be
watched by both sides this week, as
much depends upon this factor. Last
week 1t assumed record breaking pro-
portions and II 1t increases this week
it will tend to the belief that more new
cotton will come into sight up to the
first of September this year than was
ever recorded before This will nat
urally lead to the question of whether
new cotton is TO become a pressure on
the market. Not only will the move
ment of new cotton in Texas be of I'm
portance, but the Georgia movement
also will have weight, for at the end of
last week 1t exhibited signs of increas-
ing largely.
In connection with the movement of
new cotton, the attitude Of mills Will
be closely followed. AS yet the mills
have not entered the spot market, and
If they hold off much longer their at
titude will be a feature of extreme I'M
portance. The largest traders will learn
all they can about the intentions of
mills before entering the market very
heavily.

FOREST FIRES IN

situation here is alarming. Thompson
Falls is threatened by forest fires. Por-
tions of Belknap, White Pine, Noxon
and Heron are burning; and there 10 a
solid line of fire from here to the Mon
tana-Idaho boundary line, distance of
40 miles.
State Senator DOMAINS lumber yards,
20 miles west of Thompson, and his new
sawmills and yards at Cedar Spur, were
burned last night. The forest reserve
have approximately 800 men in the field
fighting the fires, but there is no COM
munication with them, all wires being
down.
A miner special from Bozeman says:
A dangerous fire is raging under a high
wind in the Gallatin forest seven miles
south of here. Aldrets ga wmill is in dan
ger, as is a flock of 1900 sheep belong
ing to John Works.
Another flock of 5000 sheep belonging
to John Harvet of Livingston has just
escaped the fire started by sparks from a
threshing engine on the ranch of Charles
Henry. Under high wind this fire swept
in a few minutes across a mile Of stubble
into the brush at the timber's edge be-
tween Lmekiln and Bear canyon.
The fire has progressed through the
forest at q rate of more than a mile an
hour and has been SO powerful that
flames have been visible in daylight at a
distance of seven or eight miles.
Forest Supervisor Conkln has been call
ing since o'clock for 100 men to fight

CURTAILMENT IN
IRON BUSINESS

New York. August 21.-Business in iron
ing. Specifications as well as new or
ders for finished steel are smaller The
Steel corporation is now producing pig
iron at the rate of 70 per cent and fin
ished steel at the rate of 1914 per cent
of total capacity. This means that the
corporation is turning out steel at the
rate of about II, 100000 tons annually and
pig iron about 100000 tons less. Inde-
pendent steel interests are operating
about the same proportion of capacity.
These figures indicate decrease of 3 to
per cent in the last few weeks.
1t is probable the decrease in the total
production Of pig iron by all interests this
months will be much less in July, prob
ably slightly under the rate of 25, 40O, 900
tons annually, while consumptive re-
quirements are estimated at the rate of
"a. 100000 tons annually. Stocks are still
being carried on furnace banks aggregat-
ing 100000 tons
1t is thus probable that the readjust-
ment In iron has not been completed
In finished steel products the wire
trade is the only one displaying any real
activity. The railroads are still placing
only mandatory orders for equipment
Last week total contracts for fabricated
steel aggregated only 1900 tons.
The principal feature In pig iron is the
negotiations by the largest cast iron pipe
manufacturers for 1900 tons of southern
iron. Steel making iron in the central
west has declined rs cents per ton.

HITCHCOCK WILL
MAKE TRIP TO WEST

BUSINESS REAL OBJECT
po.,moster Generals status at Present
In Somewhat Peculiar-Is not Ex-
actIy In Accord With the
Regulars

Washington. August H.-(SpecialO-
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock
A convinced that postoffices in the pres
idential cities in the west, as far west
as the Pacific coast. need looking over
AMI he is going to look them over. Purely
incidentally, Mr.. Hitchcock will look after
party politics and do his best TO paclly
the warning republican factions In the va
rious states he visits. Be 1t understood
however, that it is postoffice business.
and not politics, which is the primary
object of Mr.. Hitchcock's trip.
On a similar postoffice trip to the coast
q few months ago he took occasion In a
speech in the far northwest to pay earn
est and eloquent tribute to his colleague in
the cabinet, Richard A. Balilnger, and the
gossip recently current that one of his
objects now is to supplement the effort of
Senator Crane to induce Secretary Bal
linger to resign is wholly unfounded.
Hitchcock is a steadfast supporter of Bal
nnger. He doubtless sees, as everybody
else sees, that a change in the secre-
taryship would be politically profitable
ut this particular juncture. But 1t is
understood here in Washington that he
does not share the view that II would
materially affect the November elections.
Hitchcock's status as the real head OF
the party organ by virtue of his chair
manship of the national committee, is
somewhat peculiar. He has not been in
accord with all the stalwarts nor regulars.
Officially he has alienated many con-
Kressmen by his handling of the patron
age. Some statesmen very close to the
White House have more than once ex-
pressed their opinion of Hitchcock to the
President in unqualified terms and sug-
gested his dismissal for the good of the
party. But such disgruntled element is
Incident to every administration.
Hitchcocw is a regular, of course, and
in his role of chairman must see TO 1t that
the organization is strengthened wherever
possible. The management of congress
sional campaigns devolves upon the con-
gressional committee headed by Chair
man Mckinley, whose chief lieutenant is
Mr.. Loudenslager. and the national COM
mittee will not take any hand in the
purely district troubles.
But Mr.. Hitchcock will endeavor to pro-
mote party interest in the various states
and make sure that the administration
receives no uncertain Endorsement in con-
vention The Ohio action, although not
progressive enough to please ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and ex-Secretary Garfield,
commended itself strongly to administra-
ton men or regulars.

Incend,nri.m Responsible

Washington, August 21-Incendiarism
is now believed to be responsible In large
measure for the spread of the forest fires
in Oregon and the northwest In which
millions of feet of valuable timber have
gone up in smoke and millions more are
threatened. Acting Forester Albert T.
Potter tonight received advices from
Supervisor Buck at Medford, Ore, stat
ing that the continued spread Of the fires
in southern Oregon had revealed clearly
the wor of incendiaries Mr. Potter would
not discuss, even inferentially, the pur-
pose of the firebug, pending an official
report. Forest rangers are now engaged
in rounding up definite evidence.
Mr.. Potter views with anxiety this
particular feature of the situation and In
timated that 1t may be found necessary to
call upon Governor Benson of Oregon
through the secretary OF war for aid from
the Oregon National Guard. AS many
federal roops as possible are being rush
ed on foot into the burning regions from
| nearby posts.
| The fires are now especially threaten
ing In the Crater Lake country of south
ern Oregon. Advices tonight indicate
that at last two million acres Of timber
are in danger Of being swept away.
| Supervisor Buck reports that the stua-
ton at Medford, Ore, also is extremely
critical and there is little likelihood of
extinguishing the flames, which In that
region are spreading with the utmost
speed. Forest service official are now
directing the fighting forces to confine
the fires II possible to the east side of the
Cascades Some encouragement was felt
in late advices tonight stating that the

control and the troops employed there
are to be sent to other points.

NEGRO MURDERER
rs TRAILED DOWN

Pensacola, Fla, August 21.-After
framping so miles across the swamps
of Baldwin county, Alabama, 20 men,
hers of a posse which set out from Bay
Minette several days ago bent upon
capturing and lynching three negroes,
who shot and and killed Marshal White
of that place last Tuesday. reached Pen
sacola late today, just a few hours be-
hind one of the negroes wanted. Oscar
Moore. who was arrested by the police
shortly after noon, was promptly iden-
9.fed by the Baldwin county men as
one of the alleged murderers. Feeling
among the possemen against the negro
was high but there was no talk of at
tempting to harm him here, and it was
announced that the men would leave at
midnight to continue the search for the
two other negroes wanted.

Railroad Bridges Burn

Butte, Mont, August 21.-Ten railroad
bridges of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and
Puget Sound railroad tonight are report
ed burned out in western Montana and
traffic on the line is tied up for at least 10
days.
Considerable rolling stock of the railroad
Is stalled at various points in the fire
zone, but no word as to its fate Is OBJ
tainable as all telegraph wires west of
st. Regis are down, together with tele-
phone lines.
Scattering reports in the nature of ru-
mors sent over the wire by telegraph OPP
orators at different points in the fire dis
trict would indicate that about 80 lives
have been lost in western Montana, but
this is impossible Of verifcation at the
present time.
