= July passed practically without
forest fire loss. August began with
unusually favorable conditions, and
better equipment than ever before
by all protective agencies except
the federal forest service, which is
hampered by congressional delay in
acting upon its appropriation, is the
summary OF statement issued by
the Western Forestry and Conserva-
tion association upon the advices re-
ceived from all protective headQuar-
ters in the Pacific northwest. Due
partly to the weather but also to the
protection of preventive measures
which like the block system on
IsAilrosds. aafe&uacd Without being
spectacular, the situation Il novel
in that the middle of the four montl
fire season has arrived and there
is not a single fire Of Importance to
report.
Although small fjres are becomims
Numerous, green timber Ia not dry
enough to carry them unless strong
winds prevail and the patrol forces
are handling them promptly. The
season has been favorable for dts
posing of dangerous slashinga and
never before has there been such
success in extinguishing smouldening
logs and slags left after burning to
become O. menance later. On the
other hand. the growth Of grass and
underbrush has been SO heavy as to
threaten peculiar danger from now
on. Marked improvement in care
with fire is reported, although there
is considerable complaint against
careless leaving Of debris by coun-
ty road builders and against the op-
erations OF small and irresponsible
lQggers.
The state forester ct Montana
has received $500 from the fed
eral government through the Weeks
law to be used outside OF the ma
uonaI forests in the territory pro-
tected bv the state and the North
ern Montana Forestry Association.
Although the usual fire season is
half over, Congress has made no APP
preparation for the federal forest SER
vice. The national forests are being
guarded on deficiency fund, which
it is said would be wholly made
quate in an ordinary season, but so
far there has been little loss.
It is emphasized by all authorities
that, while the immunity enjoyed so
far shortens the dangerous season
and has permitted careful prepara-
ticn, a few short drying days may
bring the maximum hazard at any
time now. All persons are urged no
to attempt slash burning and to ex-
ercise great care with sparks, match.

Suspected Right Along, Police Have
Woven Strong Chain Of Cir
cumstantial Evidence 9I5fG
OFFICERS Can FIND NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME

William Newham, an older broth
er of the young man who was MUIR
dered at his home near Bigfork a
week ago Sunday night has been
arrested in connection with the
crime and is now being held at the
county Jail waiting farther investi-
cation. While the evidence is only
circumstantial the. police have a
chain of circumstances woven SO
closely about him that they feel al
most positive they have the right
man.
The KalispeM Inter Lake states
that john NEWMAN, the murdered
man, had been away Sunday even
ing calling on q young lady. and
all the circumstances show that he
had returned home between ten
and eleven o'clock. His mother
heard the buggy when he drove to
the barn to put away his horse. He
unhitched the horse. placed the bug
gy in the shed, and was walking to
the house when he was shot. His
mother heard shot, an outcry and
then another shot. The shots and
the cry were plainly heard by q
neighbor. No other shots were hasard
by any one In the neighborhood dur
Ing the might. ~s---~v,- ----..
Wffhins q half hour after the shote
were heard William Newham came
into the house, and some time after
nts mother requested 1tm &ogsec4p
tho barn to see whether : John had
rettfned and whether he might not
have been hurt by the horse. Will
liam went outside. and according to
his story hefore the coroner's jury.
he went to the barn. but neither
horse nor buggy was there. and fe
concluded that John had not come
home. He sruse early the next mnrn-
ing, started to the barn, aud found
his brother lying by the path be-
tween the house and barn. He ran
to a neighbor's for help, and car
ried the body into the house. To The
coroner's jury Newham stated that
he had been in Big Fork at the time
the shooting is supposed to have
been done.
The theory of the officers Is that
when Newham went outside at his
mothers request, he did not go to
the barn at all. for df John Newham
was killed at the time the shots
were heard. his body was lying with
in a foot or two of the path to the
barn, in perfectly open ground, and
as the night was clear and the moon
shining brilliantly. enc going to the
barn by the path could not help see
ing it.
A gun found in a small build
ing close to where the body was ly-
ing is believed to be the one with
which the murder was committed.

and there shows as general rule
have been what can be classed az
rank" The way the ordinance now
reads no tented show can play here

CARRYING THE CASE UP

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12.2-Attor-
neys for David H. and Frank n. Chap
lin, whose sentence upon conviction
of land frauds has been sustained by
the United States circuit court of ap
peals, will take the case to the su-
preme court. Prior to doing so an
effort will be made for rehearing.
After long trial in the local United
States district court, the Chaplins were
found guilty of conspiring to defraud
the government in connection with
the assignment of desert land entries
Judge Wellborn sentenced each de.
fendant to pay a $1,000 fine and serve
nine months in the county Jail.
Attorneys Meserve and Ward ap-
pealed the case mainly upon the allie
cation that there was no offense stated
III the Indictment. One of the judges
of the appellate court took this view,
but the others sustained the findings
in the trial court.
Under some comparatively recent
United States supreme court rulings,
the lawyers for the defense believe
that it can be shown that their clients
did not commit any criminal offense,
even admitting the facts as alleged
by the government.

GREAT. ENTHUSIASM
DEVELOPS IN THE BIG
UNION REVIVAL HERE

/ The all day rally of the union re-
vival forces in the Brown and Curry
meetings was full Of enthusiasm from
start to finish yesterday. The audi
ences were large at all the services,
and in the evening the large audi
tOrium of the State street Christian
Church was taxed to it's utmost ca
pacity. Mr.. Curry led the large chorus
gospel messages.
At 10 o'clock Mr. Brown addressed
the mass meeting of Sunday schools
Oh THE Choice of Moses" He showed
the young people how they could all
be just what they chose to be, and
that the higher walks of life are all
open to the aspiring soul
For the three great services of the
day the evangelist had just one text:
BE not deceived, God is not mocked; ;
whatsoever a man s6weth, that shah
he also reap"
At 3 o'clock to the large audience
of men in the l.. e S. Theater the
speaker delivered telling address.
He spoke in part as follows:
My text Whatsoever a man SOW
eth that shall he also reap is not
true because it is in the Bible, but it
is in the Bible because it is true There
is one law running through the ma
tural world and the spiritual world.
The ten commandments were put
around old humanity for protection
Behind every thou shalt not" of God
there is seething, burning pit Of
sin and degradation from which He
would save us. You can no more
change the law that we shall reap
as we sow than you can blot out the
sun syonder heavens.
When | tell you, if you SOW wheat
you will reap wheat. you say, Mr..
Brown, ! have always known that" "
But some of you do not seem to real
ize that you shall reap exactly what
you SOW in the moral life. Sow whisky
and you will reap drunkenness. 1t
does not matter how the liquor is
sown, whether by the open saloon or
the bootiegger or the blind pig, the har-
vest is just the same. You can no
more run the saloon business without
boys than a mill can grind without
griSt.
Sow cards and you may expect a
harvest of gamblers. The card table
in that home yOnder is the kinder
garten of gambling. The gambler is
the hardest man in the world to re-
form" With burning eloquence Mr..
Rrown described the hopeless fate of
the gambler, and warned the boys
against the first lessons in the dark
career.
You say, 1T is to be expected that
our boys shall SOW their wild oats.
They may see just a glimpse of the
underworld without peril 1t is lie
straight from hell. No. man can SOW
impurity without reaping somewhere
the harvest of disease or shame or
sorrow.'
In response to the appeal at least
100 men in the church and out of
the church came forward to signify
that they had determined to live for
the higher life or to give themselves
to Christ. During the day there were
about 300 who came out to take their
stand for Christ and the life of the
Christian.
At the noon hour the business
houses of FL Centro have agreed to
Vlose 50 ailoW everybody TO attend the
services at the l.. & S. Theater.
The special address to women on the
Devils Decoys" will be given Tues
day afternoon at the Christian Church.
