THERE is a class Of people who hold
To the idea that the election of man
under charges to public position. is
equivalent To a vindication by petit
Jury. We cannot believe that any
body believes this: but there are pcu-
pie who say they believe it. W"N"
seen the thing attempted time and
again: hut nothing is more silly. Pe"-
ple who resort To such means to "vin-
dicate their friends" only become par
ticeps criminis, and honest men laugh
at them.

FOREST FIRES
UNDER CONTROL
GOVERNMENT WILL PAY NEDI-
CAL BILLS OF THOSE INJURED
IN FIGHT AGAINST FIRES.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 30
Fires on the Tahoe national forest in
California are under control.
II is pointed out in the report that.
although the damage is slight the
threatened damage was enormous
and for this reason the rangers and
troops were forced TO undergo many
hardships TO check the flames Unit
ed states troops rendered valuable as
sistance and worked with enthusiasm
ana effectiveness. Forester Olmstead
praises them I'm his report.
Acting Chief Forester Potter today
conferred with the Acting Secretary
OF Agriculture upon the subject of the
forest service footing the bills for the
medical treatment of the several hun
ured men who have been injured in
the work Of fighting the fires.
That the Government should pay
the medical and hospital bills Of the
men who have been injured while
hghting forest fires is suggested by
President in a dispatch received from
him today by Acting Secretary Of Ag-
rlculture Hayes. In the message the
President asks If it is not possible for
the department to find some means to
care for the injured men. He men
tons that the subject was brought 70
his attention by congressman in the
territory affected by the forest fires.
VINO declared that many of the men
injured are financially unable to pay
for medical treatment, and in view of
the fact that they were hurt while in
the line Of duty, the Government
should defray the expenses of caring
Tor them until recovered from their
injuries.
Immediately upon receipt Of the
telegram from the President. Acting
secretary Hays communicated with
Acting Chief Forester Potter. asking
nm TO consider the suggestion of the
Chief Executive.

the product finished entirely. The
South Americans are not greatly given
10 manufacturg. and consequently
their lumber comes 70 them ready for
use. The same thing applies to the
West Indian trade. where the tropical
climate has depressing effect on
manufacturing enterprises.
Among the fine timber products Of
Canada Is an almost ineNhaustible
supply OF birds eye maple. This "a
manufactured extensively in Canada
and finds ready market throughout
the world. According to Captain
Reeves, the lumber tarim of the
United States has little effect on the
prices OF lumber in this country. ex-
cept In the extreme east and extreme
west.
The middle west. he says is affected
very little, II any, for the reason that
Canadian lumber cannot be nut into
that section in competition with lunn-
Der from the United States on ac-
count of the long hauling and high
freight rates. Where water transpor-
tation is available. as on the Atlantic
ana Pacific coasts. Canadian lumber
can be shipped into this country at n
proht- This is particularly true on
account OF the fact that the Canadian
forests are located i'm proximity to
those coasts, and the interior forests
are not being developed
