Rangers from Far and Near Concentrate to Fight Great Blaze; Smoke Bill lows Curiosity to Sum- mer Visitors
Special Correspondence)


 FLAGSTAFF, June 25.-Southwest oi the San Francisco Peaks in the Saginaw and Manistee sale area of the National Forest Reserve, a devas- tating forest fire has been raging for several days. The fire is supposed to have originated from the spark of a logging train locomotive and was not discovered by rangers until it had gained great headway. The rangers from all the outlying districts of Flag staff and Williams are concentrated around the burning timber land and with the assistance of outside fire fighters are making strenuous efforts to check the conflagration. Heavy clouds of black smoke have been seen pouring up from behind the Peaks for several days, exciting no little atten- ton from summer visitors and local residents. Today at noon it was inn possible to secure authentic informa- tion as to the size of the tract that has been burned over but from d rough estimate by foreigners who are on the field it is judged that fifteen hundred acres of the most valuable
 
 stroyed. At last reports received the fire was still raging but it is being rapidly placed under control by the strenuous efforts of the rangers
 This is a season when there is the greatest danger from forest fires. The pine needles with which the ground is covered are as dry as finder and the slightest spark will create blaze that may reach serious proportions before it is found by the careful eyes watch ing from the Lookout Towers of the rangers. Only a few days ago d fire was started in one of the local lum- bering camps by a spark created by a set of logging tongs hitting against a : rock. The spark struck the reSinouS 1 pine needles and almost immediately a | blaze resulted. Of course the blaze was apprehended by nearby workers and it was at once extinguished. This i is one of the most singualr cases that l has ever come to the notice of local rangers but it is thoroughly serves to l show the care that is required by campers in the disposal of cigar stubs and the complete extinction of all camp fires. Every possible effort is being made to educate campers and picnicers who are ignorant of the dan- gers of forest fires but despite this fact the rangers are constantly busy visiting every abandoned camp and covering all the territory bordering the highways where any fires may possibly occur because of carelessness of the general public The rangers arc doing a wondrous amount of good 1T this vicinity in preserving the forest. from the fires that are sure to resul from the scores of campers summerint in the mountains.
 Another Fire
 Just about 12:30 ?. m the local fir truck was called out to the northerI part of the city one of the fram buildings owned by Rabbit Bros. an' occupied by a negro family in som unknown way had caught fire. Tn big Broadway fire truck made an ex cellent run but because of the charac ter of the building nothing could b done to save it. All of the furnish ings perished in the flames

 Pleads Case
 Thursday F. Zimmerman was up from Phoenix in the behalf of Willis and Henry Azbill who were on trial for murder. The case was one of the most interesting ever tried in To- cal courts and involved much circum- stantial evidence which eventually led t1 the decision that both men were guilty of murder in the first degree The case will be appealed because of various technicalities.

Oratory Is Fangless

Oratory in the opinion of a recent writer. is the curse of a democracy The judgment of the people is swayed by worlds the people like the thrill of the orator and they are led to adopt the policies of who endowed with the fatal gift. That think, is an entirely superficial view. The writer had in mind exceptions rather than the rule; he moved by instances in which demagogues have successfully msed the people for a brief time.
 There time, doubt when oratory msused to the detriment of the state but it has come now to only a of entertainment less pleasing. but it is ceasing to be profit able except gift of entertainment, the lecture platform chiefly People go hear orators for much the same reason that they go to hear great tenors or go to shows They do not go to learn any thing and they do not come away with convc- tlons
 Oratory used to be the great asset of the lawyer but that is more Important cases are no longer won by swaying trial juries. The worth while are determined by juries but before the higher courts where the orator is regarded less of q bore. The favorable attention of the is obtained by the lawyer who presents his clearly. without the of unnecessary words We imagine that the justices of the United States supreme view with certain degree of intolerance the lawyer who is foolish enough try the real with oratory.
 
 effective except of prolonging a fi- buster. We doubt whether in the last quarter of century a speech in congress has ever resulted in the change of a single vote We hardly think that the splendid speeches of Webster, Clay and Haynes really served any other purpose than instances of eloquence.
 A certain gift of oratory is useful and even valu- able in the presentation and discussion of neighbor hood affairs which necessarily and. therefore not understood at first by all the people of the neighborhood. They are approached by the populace with open mind, without prejudice
 But in the political field people easily influenced. The plausible and gifted demagogue may and then win local victories and and then also when d of unrest sweeps over the country, the demagogue may ride upon it for awhile but finally the breaks upon solid shore and he is left stranded. He has reused the wave has only mounted it.
 There a time when the political orator and the spacious editorial writer cut an important figure in this country think they do so no more. In those days political news meager. and worse than that it untruthful and unfair 1t coored if not fabricated, by partisan newspapers. Now it is collected by great partisan agencies like the As sociated Press and is presented clear and uncolored interpreter The citizen of average intelligence strues the for himself and the unettered citi zen is influenced by his more intelligent neighbo in whom he has the confidence that comes of prop inquity. We are. though. not unmindfu of the fact too that many held by party lines secur, against the force of oratory.

GREAT FOREST FIRE RAGING
 NEAR SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS

Wednesday morning about 2:3O o'clock another fire started in the ma chine shops of the new saw mill in east Flagstaff. The local fire depart ment did good work and the blaze was checked before it had done consider able damage Several days previous to that the mill was forced to shorten shifts temporarily because of a long bridge being burned out between the lumber camp and the mills.
 Summering at Oak Creek
 C. P. Mullen and family of Hillside, formerly of Tempe and a party in- cluding Miss Edna Carr and Miss Vyvyian Moeur of Tempe arrived here by motor yesterday afternoon.

The road between Phoenix and Flagstaff is in excellent shape and there is no reason why people should not drive to the Canyon and resorts of Northern Arizona among the pines rather than preferring a trip to out-of-state re- sorts.

War Map Changes in AllIes
Favor Thought to Bring Ac-

By FRANCIS w. HIRST.
tRy Csbl.to The Tribune. }

London. June 23.-The war map
has been altered considerably in our
favor since the tremendous Russian
drive into Austrian Galicia and the
sensational news that Turkey has
lost Mecca. Without exaggerating
the value of prestige, one may conf
dently assert that the loss of Mecca
TO the Sultan is a capital blow.
These two events following the
naval catastrophe may bring the
Central Powers long way in the
direction of terms which could be ac-
cepted. That the Allied governments
have reasonable views is indicated in
the closing sentences Of Sir William
Goshen's letter printed in to-day's
"Times."
The depression in the stock market
here is partly the natural reaction
from the buoyancy of the last few
weeks, but is mainly due, think, to
the apprehension shared with New
York Of your Mexican embarrass-
ments. Nevertheless, the fact that
consos stand at SO, as against 81 last
November, when minimum prices
were removed. testifes to the wonder
full confidence of our people and the
vast reserves Of wealth still existing.
1t is now held for certain that all
minimum prices will be removed the
first week in July.
This is probably the only belliger-
ont country in which the working
classes as whole are not feeling the
economic strain, yet they are paving
heavy war taxes for their luxuries.
Budget notifications were vel
conred, but you will observe that
Chancellor McKenna surrendered
very little revenue.
The supplies of sugar seem i'm
proved. This is satisfactory. "a
strawberries and cherries have to be
converted on an enormous scale into
Jam.
The improvement Of Scandinavian
exchange comes as a welcome sequel
TO the Scandinavian loan. The de-
preston in the mark is attributed to
the misfortunes Of Austria and Tur-
KEY and the internal economic dis
tress in Germany.
