What the Maine Papers Say.


Local" prohibition is approved by the
Rum Trust and its paid organs because
more liquor can be sold under it than
under State wide prohibition. Why?
Very simple-because percentage of
towns and cities are sure to be in the
rum business, and they will invade the
prohibition towns in every possible man
ner; that is Rum Trust program, al
ways.-The Madison Bulletin.
The rum situation has never been made
satisfactory by license law. The sale
and use of intoxicating liquors always
causes trouble. Remove the prohibitory
amendment in Maine and rather than
take it out of politics it becomes a mat
ter Of contention every year. The whole
sale liquor dealers and every citizen in
terested n having rum sold doubts not
that a majority vote of no in September
would settle the matter for many years
in Maine and lead to better, stronger
enforcement of the law. Every temper
ance man ought to know this. Further
more it is the only sure way to keep the
question as far from politics as possible

FOR PROTECTION
Of FORESTS
ORGANIZATION BEING FORMED
TO KEEP DOWN FOR
EST FIRES,

Kalispell seems to be fertile soil
for big movements this spring.
and the most engaging feature is
that they are all constructive move
ments. Not least among these is
the action of the timber owners of
which they propose an organization
for the protection of their property
against destruction by forest fires.
In Flathead county alone the tim
Der wealth represents many millions
of dollars. It is estimated that last
seasons fires damaged and de-
stroyed upwards of half a million
dollars worth of this specific proper
ty.
To prevent just such a repetition
is the big organization launched. A
list of its membership indicates that
it is democratic throughout. 1t in
cludes not only all the lumber CON-
panies of Flathead county, but
long list of owners of small timber
land units. 1t is is expected that
before the association membership
Is complete it will practically include
the owner Of every forty acre timber
land unit.
The plans as tentatively proposed
contemplate the cooperation of the
association with the States and the
Federal Forest service. This coop
GRAFTON means more efficient protec-
tion against incipient fires and more
effective control of spread of larger
and more dangerous ones. The pri-
mary features of the organization are
a more efficient protection of tim
Der property extended alike to big
and small owners, and a fair and
equitable distribution of the expen-
ses incident to such work.
In Idaho an association of this
character has been in operation for
the past four or five years, and it is
said to be an absolute success. The
plans and maps of the proposed Flat
head association are being prepared
in the Blackfcet National Forest Of
flee at Kalispell.

cleared off these last-named gentle
men are not pulling out all the
stumps at one time. They just clea
off all the under-brush and dead
timber and blow out what stumps
are needed. so that the trees can
be planted in between uniformly
The trees will thus get an early star
and the rest Of the stumps can be
cleared out at the owners leisure.
One noticeable feature is the spiri
displayed by the residents along
Lupfer avenue. These people take
a great deal of pride in their prop
erty. which is evidenced by the nice
way they are keeping it up. 1t has
become one of the finest residence
districts in the city, and out of this
order of trees nearly everyone liv-
ing along Lupfer avenue purchased
enough for the front of his proper
ty. Friday and Saturday they were
all busy setting out the new trees.
A number of residents scattered
throughout other parts of the town
also put out shade trees.
The largest orchard set out so
far in Whitefish contains over 200
apple trees, and was planted by DR..
H. E. Houston last spring on a piece
Of bench land on the lake shore in
Monks bay. This spring all the
trees are doing fine.
f, ]. A. Monk has bearing orchard
near the same plas-. They are all
doing fine just now, and are threat
ening to blossom pretty soon.
P. J. Hoffman's orchard has been
bearing for several years, producing
a wealth of apples each fall, and
has done much to show what can be
produced on the stump land.
Developing an orchard takes time,
but once bearing it is sure income
each year. The time is not far dis
tant when every acre of cut-ove
ground in this end of the valley will
be cleared off and covered with pro-
ducing orchards that will be the en-
Wy of our southern sisters, who now
boast so gleefully about their ia
nous red apples. We have the soil
and climate. What we want now
is more of that sturdy and thrifty
class of settlers to till the soil
which will produce the golden
dollars.
