LOSS BY FOREST FIRES

The Department of Agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires
on the National Forests for the cal
endar year 1912, and finds that they
were the lowest of recent years.
Less than one acre to every thous-
and of timbered lands was burned
over, and the total damage is estimat-
ed at $3.50, or less than one dol
lar to every 1000 acres of area.
The good record is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions in
most localities, and second, the IN
creased efficiency of the fire-fighting

National Forests, the equipment OF
trails, roads, telephones, and look
out stations is yearly enlarged and
the fires. it Is said, are discovered
more quickly and fought more rap
idly.
An especially good showing was
made by the Forest officers last
year in extinguishing fires outside
the National Forests before they
reached the Forest boundaries. Such
fires constituted more than one
sixth OF all fought by the Forest
rangers and guards. About nine
tenths were extinguished before
they touched the Forests. OF the
fires within the Forest boundaries
more than Is per cent were on lands
in private ownership. Nearly one
fourth of the extra expenditures due
to fighting fires-that is, expenditures
outside the time of the regular For
est force-was incurred in fighting
these fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency, followed by rail-
roads, campers, and incendiaries, in
the order given. The greatest loss
es occurred in Arizona, Arkansas,
and California, in which States there
was also the largest proportion of
fires caused by lightning and by in
,endiarism. About q per cent of
al the fires were started by light
ling, and about 3S per cent were
1ue to carelessness. The proportion |
n each case was practically the
same as in the previous year.
The total number of fires was 2,472 |

at some stations the mean temper
allure was the lowest on record for
Februar. At Lewiston, the deficiency
in temperature amounted to nine
degrees. There was but one rop-

and was, with one exception, the
lowest on record for February. The
Snowfall was among the lightest on
record, particularly in the southern
counties. There was an abundance
of sunshine, and the wind move
ment was unusually light. The soil
remained frozen throughout the
month, vegetation continued dormant,
and traffic was unimpeded.

JUSTICE HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT

Republican leaders, preparing for the meet
inc of the national committee on December TO,
are credited with plan TO run Justice Charles
Evan Hughes of the supreme bench for president
ID 1916 and they have gone so far as to talk OF
either Senator William e. Borah of Idaho or
senator Albert b. Cumming OF Iowa as his rum
ting.matc. ~
It is plan of startling boldness, and il JUS
Iice Hughes would accept, he should make a
strong candidate OF avowed and pronounced
progressive principles, he would command the
support Of an army Of Bull Moosers and ne
would hold practically all Of the Republicans
Who voted for Taft last year
This presidential ticket is planned to effect
complete reconciliation between the two wings,
81 the now-seyered party. Members of both
wings are said to have given the subject serious
consideration.
Mr.. Hughes, associate justice Of the United
States supreme court, is not party to the de-
|iberations, it is stated The time has not ar.
rived when he can be consulted.
At this time negotiations arr proceeding
mainly with Progressives to determine their pos.
.ibIe attitude The outcome depends, it is said,
'|Don whether the Progressives will insist upon
I|oiming first place and inviting the other side
IS come along, or whether they win be willing to
1Iant the other side has some reasonable claim
b consideration and show. q willingness to treat
pa an equal basis
The claim to be presented in behalf of the
REGULAR Republicans is that a Republican vic.
tory IN the next campaign is absolutely essential
upon carrying New York They believe Hughes
can carry New York and they do not believe that
any Progressive from the far West can do it.
As governor Of New York, Mr. Hughes dis
played plenty of executive ability. His fine
mental equipment and dIffhistratiye power
would weigh heavily in a race against Woodrow
Wilson The men are something of type, but
their opinions on the tariff are fundamentally
different. -

! PUBLICITY HELPS.

After last Tuesday nights hearing on the
proposed milk ordinance before the board of SUI
pervisors, members OF the board expressed them
selves as inclined to favor the elimination of the
paragraph opposed not onlyby this paper but by
a large number of interested citizens by the ter
ritorial board of agriculture and forestry and by
publicspirited men in the dairy business. That
paragraph would have left inspection of dairy
herds for tuberculosis to any veterinarian, re-
moving altogether the protection afforded by the
inspection of the territorial board and its Off
cial veterinarian.
Publicity helped to bring to the attention of
the supervisors this unwise provision, and pub
licity will help to secure it's elimination. With
the ordinance amended on the lines suggested at
the public hearing, Honolulu's milk supply will
be we'll protected.

HAWAII IS SAFE IN
INHERITANCE, TAX FROM
LARGE SPRECKELS' ESTATE

Having already collected about
$4,000 inheritance tax from the estate
of the late Claus Spreckels and his
widow the territory of Hawaii will
not be affected by the decision of the
California state supreme court OF last
Wednesday, which ruled that the part
nership interests of Claus Spreckels
in these islands are taxable in that
state for inheritance fees. 1t merely
means, says Territorial Treasurer D.
L. Conkling that the Hawaiian por.
ton of the estate will be required to
pay a double inheritance tax; one,
which it already has paid, to this ter.
ritory, and the other to California.
Following the death of the sugar
magnate in 1908 the territory assess.
ed and collected some $5,455 from his
estate, and shortly after the demise
of his widow In 1910 the territory re.
ceived 1865 from her estate. At the
time of the formers death the major
part of his wealth had been transfer.
ed to California, 50 the territory could
assess only the property in his pos
session remaining in the islands. Had
Spreckels continued his residence
here until his death, however, says
Conkling, his entire estate in Cali

The German government not long ago sent an
imperial athletic commission to the United
States to investigate Uncle Sans methods of
athletic training, the results of which have won
pre-eminenee at each set of Olympic games The
commission has gone back to Germany declaring
that the United States has the finest body of ath
ietes in the world. The head of the commission,
Lieutenant Won Reichenau, declares that in this
country training methods are so well-advanced
as to have completely upset the old theory that
athletic competition is harmful to boys and
youths. Here, he says, we train our boys to
avoid strain of immature bodies while making
the most of their youthful powers. And, in
making his report, the head of the commission
recognizes the incalculable value of properly
handled athletic training:
First you either help to keep the boy from the
temptations Of the street or you bring him from
well-nght the kindred harmful atmosphere of being
too much indoors You draw him out into the open
air and you give him a chance to play in security
and then furnish him with facilities that make for
