ROOSEVELT AN INDEPENDENT.
Former President Will Support Men
Who Stand for His Ideas.

Oyster Bay-Those who heard
Theodore Roosevelt talk at Sycamore
Hill Wednesday afternoon came away
with a sharply etched shadow picture
of what his attitude will be in state
and national politics. Primarily he
wishes to keep in the background in
the approaching campaign, for he
feels that by taking too prominent a
part in it he may be accused of as.
Stunning dictatorship.
Broadly speaking, he will, as he has
said on several occasions, do all in
his power to help the men who ston(
by him and his policies, but is non.
committal as to whether he expects
to carry this to the point of coming
out openly in favor of the Repub
licans all over the country whom he
considers to be standing for his ideas.

FIRE BEYOND HUMAN CONTROL
Armies of Men Are Exhausting Every
Energy in Fight Against Flames
in Montana and Idaho.

Missoula, Mont.-Forester w. B.
Greedy, of field district No. l, with
headquarters in Missoula, returned
Wednesday from his trip through the
northern part of Montana and Idaho
with Secretary of Agriculture James
A. Wilson, and brought with him
much new information of the forest
fire conditions in the territory thr
which he has travelled. In an inter
view Forester Greedy said that with
in the Occur d'Alene forest, compris-
ing territory in northwestern Mon
tana and Idaho, there were forty sep
arate Urge fires now burning, and
that an army Of more than 1000 men
We're employed in fighting the flames.
Not single one of these forty
fires has been reported as under con
troll, and the force of men will be in
creased as fast as possible until some
kind of control can be maintained and
good soaking rain comes to the aid
of the fighters.
While the fighters are doing much
good and have saved countless acres
Of fine timber from being burned al
ready, still they are unable to cope
with the changing winds and increas-
ing number of fires.
The whole work has been carried
on with as much system as has been
possible, and among the numerous
crews employed there has been work
accomplished that may we'll be la
beled heroic.

The Sled Came Down Like Bullet
Hetty to the door. things would have
been altogether different. She would
have been told that that hill belonged
to old Adam Flint, who was both mean
and misery. His hill stood there ready
to do business. but he was so afraid
that somebody would elope with II
that he had posted signs everywhere.
NO trespassing under penalty OF
the law" read the signs.
The girl could have seen no less
than three such signs had she looked
around her. She wasn't looking for
signs, however. Also. had she looked
about she would have been warned
that a girl gee-whizzing on a sled into
the highway and down another hill
might possibly meet vehicle of some
sort coming up.
If she had been told these things the
ride would have been postponed and
Miss Bessie Hyde might have lived on
to be an old maid. Fortunately she
was not interfered with. The first
anyone knew of the adventure was
when a shout came from the top Of
the hill. The sled came down like a
bullet. The all-work man ran to stop
it, but fell down and rolled over. Aunt
Hetty ran to stop 1t, but she slipped
on the veranda and sat down hard
Away went the sled with a fright
ened girl hanging on for dear life and
one foot trailing behind as rudder.
1t was going like hundred rabbits
when II made the turn into the high
way. and then there was sigh of re-
lief. But the respite was short. Com
ing up the long hill was old Adam
Flint in his "pung." which Is home
made sleigh. Close behind him fol
lowed u man driving horse and cut
ter. The road was narrow. the banks
steep.
Miss Bessie shut her eyes and
screamed. Old Adam T'int called
Whoa" to his horse and decided that
his last hour had come.
The man In the cutter grinned and
got ready to enjoy a good thing.
The sled struck old Adams knock
kneed horse. 1t just had to strike
somebody or something. The knees of
the horse were bent as he strained at
the sled. He fell In heap and didn't
try to get up. That was wise move
on his part. for the sled and the girl
climbed over his back, knocked old
Adam out of his sleigh and struck the
rther horse before coming to stop

that DR.. Ashton had made love 10 her
for a long time. had written to her
asking her never to become engaged
TO anyone else. and had talked to
her about the house which. he said.

School Census raksr says He Has
Found Evidence Of Loose Work
In Some Sections.

That Detroit's census rating OF
465. 766 Ii far too low. and that many
people entitled TO have their noses
counted were missed. is the belief en-
tertained In some quarters OF the city.
Constable Eugene Adams. who took
the school censes In the second pre-
cinct OF the Eighteenth ward, shortly
after the regular census, says that he
received numerous inquiries as to
when the government census blanks,
left for filling out, were TO be called
for. The people who questioned him
were confident that they had not been
counted, and Adams says that from
his conversations with other school
census enumerators. he Is convinced
that Detroit should have been credited
with a full haif-million of population.
Il do not think any appreciable num-
Der OF names was missed by our emu
merators," said Orvice r. Leonard.
supervisor OF census for Detroit.
There were instances like those
spoken Of, but In these cases we
learned that an enumerator was not
handling his work capably and either
replaced him or sent an instructor to
help him go over his work. The
blanks were not used In all cases, and
many times even when the blanks
had been given out. the enumerator
got his information at first hand with
out refernce 10 them. or course
names were missed in some Instances
in the foreign districts. but the num-
Der of cases would not have any APP
preciable effect on the full returns"
