Few people realize the extent of
the average forest fire and the enor-
nous cost entailed in checking and
extinguishing one of these devastat-
ing conflagrations. The destructive
fire of last week which swept great
portion of the states of Idaho and
Montana cost $1,000 day to fight
and hits EXPENSE did not include the
federal troops sent into the burning
sections to subdue the flames. Most
of these forest fires originate from
trivial causes, the majority being
started from the sparks of engines.
In the Denver district last year the
forestry service reported 234 fires.
Ninety-six were caused by engine
sparks, "a by careless campers, %
by lightning, the origin of the rest
being unknown.

During the regular session of the

During the regular session of the
legislature when columns of slush
were published in the Patterson
papers eulog.stic of Handsome Harry,
most of this bunk was reprinted in
the Register-Call, that paper at the
time giving the excuse for the wan
ton waste of space in its columns
that as the stuff pertaincd to res
ident of the community, 1t carried
local news value and was therefore
of interest to the people of Gilpin
county. Last week when a resolution
was passed by the senate calling for
q report from the attorney general to
enlghten the legislature as to the
disposition OF $4,000 appropriation
to investigate the acts of the federal
government pertaining to the forestry
and water courses of the state, in
connection with which Handsome
Harry IS said to have pulled down
81 900 to which he was not entitled.
the Register contained not a word
about the resolution. Surely this mat.
ter had lccal news value. But then
there is the little patronage that
Handsome Harry throws to the Re-
publican paper, which must be con-
sidered. That has monetary value.

Our views in reference to the ease
with which libel suits can be brought
by individuals in public life whose
records have been properly exposed,
and who imagine a newspaper has in
jured their character or reputation
coincide with those expressed recent
ly in a speech on the subject deliver
ed by Lord Mersey at dinner given
by a newspaper society. Lord Mer-
sey said in part:
THE impecunious blackmailer, the
man who has been properly denounc-
ed in the press, is a person who car
afford to take his chance of getting
verdict in court. He has nothing to
lcse. Something ought to be done,
think, in such a case, to prevent the
impecunious blackmailer from bring
ing into court, as a defendant, a
newspaper, or the proprietors of a
newspaper, who have done only their
duty in bringing to the notice of the
public the conduct of the plaintiff.
