c. Il. Mason Returns from California

c. H. Mason returned to Leaven-
worth the first of this week after an
absence of some four months, spent in
southern California. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mason left here with the intention of
making their home in California if they
were pleased with the country. Mrs.
Mason is with friends on the Sound
where Mr.. Mason also stopped two
weeks. He says California is all right
if, having lots Of leisure, likewise
money, leaving climate the only thing
to be desired, one only seeks place
to kill time and spend money. To all
such, he says, go to California. He
says it is not even a bad place to go if
you have to work from mere force of
habit, there is plenty Of work there,
but if you have to work because it is
necessary for you to work to live, God
help you, that's gray horse Of another
color, Mind, I do not say stay away from
California, it is great place for health
and recreation, and while you are tax
ing your recreation, those people down
there are perfectly willing to take your
money. If you happen to think those
people down there do not know how to
separate you from your money-well,
just go down and see for yourself.

FEW FOREST fires
DURING PAST YEAR
Less Than One Acre to Every thousand
of Timbered Lands was Burned
0ver-TOtaI Loss $75,290


The Department OF Agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires on
the National Forests for the calendar
year 1912, and finds that they were
the lowest of recent years. Less than
one acre to every thousand of timbered
lands was burned over, and the total
damage is estimated at $75,2o0, or
less than one dollar 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-6ghting
organization. AS Congress makes
available the means for extending the
system Of communications on the Ma
tional Forests, the equipment of trails,
roads, telephones, and lookout stations
is yearly enlarged and the fires, it is
said, are discovered more quickly and
fought more rapidly.
An especially good showing was
made by the Forest officers last year
in extinguishing fires outside the Ma
tional Forests before they reached the
Forest boundaries. Such fires consti-
tuted 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 18 per cent were on lands
in private ownership. Nearly one
fourth of the extra expenditures due to
fighting fires-that is, expenditures out
side the time of the regular Forest
force-was incurred in fighting these
fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency, followed by railroads,
campers, and incendiaries, in the or
der given. The greatest losses oc-
cured in Arizona, Arkansas, and Cali
fornia, in which States there was also
the largest proportion of fires caused by
lightning and by incendiarism. About
II per cent OF all the fires were started
by lightning, and about 38 per cent
were due to carelessness. The pro-
portion in each case was practically the
same as in the previous year.
The total number of fires was 2,472,
as compared with 1860 in 1911.
They burned over, in the aggregate,
$500 acres as against 100000 in
1911. California led all States in to-
tai number of fires, and in the number
caused by lightning. Arizona stood
second in both of these classifcations.
Arkansas stood fourth in total number
of fires, and first in those of incendiary
origin, with California second. The
one National Forest in Kansas had
only one fire, which burned over less
than ten acres and cost Sill to ex-
tinguish. North Dakota had no fires
on its one small Forest.
OF the 2,472 fires, over rs per cent
were put out before 10 acres were
burned over, and nearly SO cent be-
fore one-quarter Of an acre was covered.
Only IL fires caused damage of more
than 1000 each.

Celebrated NoTeIist's Prediction About
Flying.

In the December American Maya
zine. H C. Wells, the famous English
novelist, writes an article entitled
Ny First Flight" which is q de-
seription Of his first experience in
dying machine. He made a trip in
waterplane with Mr.. Grahme White
Following IS an extract:
And so il was that l went up into
the air AZ East0ourne with the i'm
preston that flying was still an IN
comfortable, experimental, and slight
" heroic thing TO do, and came down
10 the cheerful gathering crowd upon
the sand again with the knowledge
that it is thing achieved for every
one II viii get much cheaper no
doubt, and much sBifter, and be i'm
proved in dozen ways-ve must get
self-starting engines, for example, for
both our aeroplanes and motor-cars-
but il is available today for anyone
who can reach IL an invalid lady OF
seventy could have enjoyed all that
did if only one could have got her into
the passengers seat. Getting there
was little difficult, it is true; the
waterplane was out in the surf. and
was carried TO il on boatman's back,
and then had TO Chamber carefully
through the wires, but that is matter
of detail
This flying is indeed so certain to
become q general experience that
am sure that this description VIII in
few years seem almost as quaint as IL
I had set myself TO record the fears
and sensations Of my First Ride in
Wheeled Vehicle And 1 suspect that
learning TO control a Fsrman water
plane now is probably not much more
difficult than, let US say, twice the
difficulty in learning the control and
of a motor bicycle /
cannot understand the sort of young
man who won't learn how 10 do II il
ne gets half a chance
The development OF these water
planes is an important step towards
the huge and swarming populariZation
OF flying which is now certainly immi-
nent We ancient survivors OF those
who believed in and wrote about fly
LIZ DCACAC -ACAC o. ely u-AlSr USC4
10 make q great fuss about the dan
gers and difficulties OF landing and
getting up. We wrote with vast grav-
ity about starting rails and landing
stages. and it is still true that land
ing an aeroplane, except upon we'll
known and quite level expanse, is a
risky and uncomfortable business. But
getting up and landing upon fairly
smooth water is easier than getting
into bed. This alone is likely TO de-
termine the aeroplane routes along
the line OF the worlds coast-lines and
AXE groups and waterways
The airman viii go TO and fro over
water as the midges do. Wherever
there is a square mile of water the
xaterplancs will come and go like
hornets at the mouth of their nest
But there are much stronger reasons

when there are gales it moves in great
inform masses, like the swift still

campaign An election to fill the vacancy in the governor office caus- ed by the resignation of Joe T. Rob- inson, nc,N United States senator, is proclamation fixing the date for the election was issued yesterday by Act ing Governor J. M. Futrell.
 The voters of Arkansas should weigh we'll the candidacy of every man who aspires to fill the chair of the chief executive. This state has repeatedly suffered in recent years from political administrations. What it needs at this time is man who will give the office the service that this growing and progressive spirited commonwealth deserves.
 There are already four prospective candidates for the gOvernorship. More are likely. c. H. Brough, bril- liant and efficient member of the State University faculty, has been an ayowed candidate for governor fo" some months. He has been making a quiet and dignified prediction cam paign and the indications are that he will prove hard man to beat. K. o. Pindall, the well known Little Rock lawyer, has announced that he intends to enter the race, and Step hen Brundidge, of Searcy, former con- gressman and several times an un- successful candidate for United | States senator, intimates that he will get into the contest before long, Judge Hays, of Ouachita county, has announced his intention of making the race and he has a large follow ing.
 The people of Arkansas are grow ing tired of elections. They are tired of politics and politicians. They are not willing to eleca governor mere 1 ly to elevate him to a position for the United States senatorship. They want man who will serve the people we'll and not seek the governor 6 office merely for the purpose of lift ing himself into a higher office. What Arkansas needs is governor and not prospective candidate for Unit ed States senator.
