and in fortune At least the young
Duke of Croy thought so.
The duke was not Mr.. Leishman's
first flyer in foreign noblemen. His
older daughter, Martha, now Mrs.
James Hazen Hyde, of whose present
husband Mr.. Dooley made his ia
nous remark that eff he had had a
little more sense he would have been
half-Witted, took for her first spouse
the French Count de Gontaut-B iron,
who dissipated large portion of the
Leishman money.
So far as know, Leishman is, the
only American millionaire he
isn't a millionaire any 1onger-who
thought he could afford two titled
sons-in-law. Such an investment
made by an American citizen shows
the unlimited ambition of hen that
wishes for four heads, or donkey
that signs for two tails. A hen can
do quite as much thinking with one
head as with four-and that, of
course, isn't much. AS for the dom
key-well, he couldn't reach all the
flies, no matter how many tails he
had.
To me it seems gluttonous for one
man to have had two title sons-in-
law when the number of genuine
noblemen is, after all, limited and the
number of persons able to buy them
for their daughters is, also small
The receivership Of Leishman's
property indicates that the former
ambassador "bit off more, than he
could shaw" But, perhaps, it's the
creditors that will do the chawing.

A BAD IMPRESSION?
Another B. S. Knock Turns
Out to be a Boost

Under the caption Finland
Town Makes Bad Impression"
the Raker Sentinel published an
article from the Buffalo Times.
The following is self-explanatory:
m Along the middle of June The
lines editor made a trip to Eka-
laka and we were treated so
royalty by those citizens whom
we met, that in order to show our
appreciation we lndited short
article about the town and sur
rounding country. It was not
meant IN any sense to be deroga-
tory to our sister town, but we
must have expressed ourself very
crudely. as we have learned that
the Baker papers are using the
article in their fight with Ekala-
ka for the county seat. It would
seem to an outsider that the Bak-
er papers are hard put to it for
material when they are forced to
use our little squib us a slam A.
galnst Ekalaka Nothing was
farther from our thots. It was q
good-natured Josh" between
friends, for that is the way we
regard the people of Ekalaka and
hope their feeling toward us is
the same. We hope to soon have
our family located m a home
stead in Montana. and as between
the two towns for county seat
there is only one logical location
and that IS Ekalaka. Baker,
as far as location is concerned. is
as unfortunately situated AS was
Camp Crook in this county. and
Lennon in Perkins county. and
both these towns suffered defeat
the same as Baker did last, fall
and undoubtedly will again this
fall. If the Baker papers pub
llshed our previous article with
the same purpose that we did,
we have no objection, but for
fear our opinion of Eka|aka was
msconstrued we take this opoor-
tunlty OF setting out our position
AS regards the two towns. We
are only sorry that we cannot
gain residence in Montana in time
to cast a vote Tor Ekalaka for
permanent county seat. Butfa-

a Word of Caution

In District No. | of the Forest
Service. which comprises the for
ests of western South Dakota,
Montana, and northern Idaho.
the fire situation on July e is
fraught with disastrous possibili-
ties. The cry of "Wolf" is not
intended at this time, but the
Service organization has been
keyed up to a high tension since
spring, preparing for a hazard
which was made apparent bv the
small snowfall of last winter, a
long period of rain which pro-
duced an exceptional amount of
vegetation. and short periods of
hot weather occurring since June
Is. All of these have resulted
! in condition worse at this time
than in any year since 1910. This
is reported by supervisors from
virtually all of the forests.
East of the Rockies very few
fires have occurred. This is due
to the different physical condi-
tions, regarding timber growth
but may result later in destruc.
tive fires on grazing land. For.
age being an important resource,
as much care is taken to prevent
it's destruction as the timber or
! the western forests.
t The number of fires for the ter
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1914-08-07

days ending July 10 was greater
than the number previously re-
ported. The lookout stations on
high mountains used for locating
fires earlier in the season were
rendered inefficient on and after
July 10 by heavy haze, driven
into the district by westerly
winds. 1t is believed that this
haze is from Washington and
Oregon, where large fires are re-
ported.
Figures available indicate that
the principal cause Of fires this
season has been lightning, with
railroads close second, and
campers and brush burning runn-
ing close for third place. Of the
i8O fires reported. but 81 have
been of natural origin, i. e.. set
by lightning. This leaves 129
set by human agency.
A study of these figures will
demonstrate the fact that when
fires from natural causes Ii. e.
lightning. increase, those due to
human careIessness or negligence
also increase. Therefore. the or
ganization must be d ubly pre-
pared to cope with elementary
conditions. but also maintain a
watch on areas where such fires
are not liable to occur. It is
this double duty that the Service
is trying to eliminate through
practice and precept. and if the
season s showing indicates pre-
ponderance of lightning fires over
all other single causes. it will ap-
pear that this education has not
been in vain.

1t is expected that several can
dldates will file the papers today
which ought to give the voters
of Fallon county a good sized list
to select from. According to the
primary law each voter can only
vote one ticket but as there are
several offices for which there is
only one candidate the chances
are that politics are not going to
cut much figure at the August
primaries. There has been sew
eral candidates who have with
drawn from the race since the
filing of their petitions. among
them being Robt. Lowry, who in
tended to seek the nomination
for county clerk on the demo
cratic ticket.
