Death Reports Vary Widely.

'N~FSs 10 a. VvIOCIys
Reports received by Supervisor Wei
gle at Wallace concerning the number
of dead forest employees did not agree
with that obtained at Missoula. The
reports to Wallace say that of Ranger
Hollingshead's sixty men on Big creek
fourteen bodies have been found and
the other men are missing. OF sixty
men on Setter creek forty-eight bod
les have been found and five men are
missing. These sixty-two deaths of
forest employees, added to the twenty
one deaths at the Bullion mine and
on the Big fork of the Occur d'Alene
and the deaths in Montana and vari-
Gus Idaho creeks, would bring the to-
tai number of deaths in the service up
to 100.
There is a dearth of news from the
st. Joe valley, where the fires are rag
ing uncontrolled. Circumstantial &C.
counts of the death of lis men in four
parties were brought to Spokane and
Tekoa by survivors. The survivors
say that 600 men we're working on Big
creek, whereas the number stated by
the forestry service to have been en-
ployed there is sixty. Joseph B. Hahn
is said by the Wallace office to have
eighty-four men with him and by the
Missoula Office to have only fourteen.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IT, 1911
PREsTDENT TAFT's VIEW.

From the Presidents address In
Boston: For the six months that
the Payne tariff has been in force
the total receipts both from customs
and internal revenue have been
sS2S,SS9,231.91 while the disburse-
ments have been $332,7SS,2SS.OS'
showing expenditures exceeded their
receipts by only $s.Ss4,O51,H with
no collection as yet from the corpora
ton tax. For the corresponding per-
Tod last year the expenditures ex-
ceeded the receipts by over 10000
900.
"This showing indicates that under
the present custom law the deficit
will be promptly wiped out, and that
to meet our normal expenditures we
shall have ample revenue.
II therefore venture to repeat that
the present customs law Is the best
law that has ever been passed, and
it is most significant in this, that 1t
indicats on the part Of the Republi-
can party the adoption of a policy to
change from an increase in duties to
a reduction of them and to effect an
increase Of revenues at the same
time"

A Valentine Party.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F.
Lands was again the scene of the
merry making of the Lone Tree
nelghborhood. Monday evening a
valentine party was given, the house
being beautifully decorated. Games
were played in which Charles Taylor
and Amy Linn were prize winners. A
large heart containing many little
hearts under which were hidden the
names of the ladies present was tie
target at which the gentlemen shot
Cupid's arrow. In this way each gen.
tIeman found his partner for supper
After supper a splendid program
was given and games were INDUCED
in. The evening was a pleasant one
and will long be remembered by those
fortunate enough to be there.

DON'T WORRY, WIFE CANNOT
DEMAND YOUR LETTERS.
Local PostOfflce Has No Such Order
Issued YET.

il =
The eastern papers have devoted
considerable space to what they term
new postal ruling. This ruling was
to the effect that a wife could de-
mand her husbands letters at the
postofflce. 5 "
Some papers printed cartoons on
the subject.
Inquiry at the local office states
that no such order has been sent
here and the local officials do not be-
l!eve such an order is in existence.
They state that the postoffice does
not make orders along that line.
This will give hope to poor, suffer-
ing men, who dreaded the order with
a capital D. Just think Of some of the
things that would happen around the
postoffice. The wife would demand
her husbands letters and the clerk
would accommodate her. One would
be In feminine hand, Imagine how
quickly that envelope would be torn
open and the wife would go through
the contents right before the box win
dow no matter how many others were
waiting in line.
Abilene is as good as the average
Town but 1t is safe to predict that
there would be several interesting
stories If such an or;ler was issued
by the postoffice department and the
women took advaa;t % Of it.
Jut Tom Jon,s says there isn't
such an order-at least here-and so
Abilene men can go to sleep in peace
with the assurance that their wives
won't get the first chance at their
letters.

AMERICAN WAsTEFULNEss.

The members of the Japanese COM
mission, who have been visiting the
great cities Of this country, were pro-
foundly impressed by many things,
among others, the great resources OF
the country, the wonderful manner IN
which they are utilized, the evidence
Of incalculable wealth, extraordinary
use of machinery and splendid de-
yelopment. Another was the waste
fulness Of Americans, as a class, In
the home, as we'll as elsewhere, 1t
was said that the waste OF an Amerl-
can family would support two Jap
anese families in comfort; which Is
but a paraphrase Of remarks made
many times about the superior econ
omy with which household affairs
are conducted in the older countries,
particularly in continental Europe.
This may be very true; but 1t Is to
be noted, also, that this peculiar
wastefulness is not racial trait. 1t
Is one of the habits of American life
which the European adopts after he
has been domiclled in this country
long enough to become Ameslcanized
In other respects. and to grasp the
American point of view.
The things of which Americans are
economical and other countries are
wasteful, are time and physical exer-
ton. The greater percentage Of
American waste is due to the refusal
of Americans to waste time, especially
the well paid time Of others whom
they are paying, Raw material Is
often wasted, because, as q matter
Of dollars and cents, It is more econo-
mlcal to permit 1t to 60 to waste
than II is to use high-priced labor to
save 1t. AS a minor, and possibly,
a petty illustration, an employer may
figure that 1t is cheaper, when a
highly paid mechanic drops nall
for example, for him to let It lie
rather than to take his time to pick
II up, when his time may be worth
as cents an hour, or some such sum
An American manufacturer will
throw away perfectly good machiner!
for which he has paid thousands
when better machinery comes In
which will do more work with a small
er labor cost. The American house
wife will use the expensive cuts o
meat because they can be cooked Il
a palatable manner at fraction o
the time and trouble that II woulI
take to make an appetIzing dish on
Of the cheaper cuts.
TheAmerican does not waste labor
whatever else he wastes, indeed, mos
Of his other wastetulness is due :
that one fact. Labor Is rated at
higher rate here than anywhere els
