rise in heir wrath and demand that the ofense of
setting out fire be made felony and punished as
such.
The damage is beyond estimation. Just think
what it would cost to restore to one acre of ground
the vegetable matter that is destroyed by such
FIRE. Make the figures as low as you please, but it
is a roor acre that has not at least ten dollars
worth Of fertilizing material growing it from
the preceding season. Multiply that by all the
years this practice has been going on, and then by
all the millions of acres which are subject to this
annual ravage, and the result is sum which
staggcrs the imagination
A high agricultural authority in this state says
that if the Florida lands had never been burned
over they would be covered with leaf mould and
loan to an average depth of at least eight inches.
Where we now have barren sand hardly fertile
enough to sprout few twgs of the hardest grass,
this semi-ropical region, the restoration of worn
out land is comparatively rapid and even now if
the forest fires were prevented for a few years
the result would be the storing of millions of dol
lars worth Of humus in the lands that may now
be classed as barren.
The injury to our lands in one season, by these
fires, amounts to a bigger sum in the aggregate
than the total returns from all the cattle and sheep
in the state. Probably the entise capital invested
in these industries would not replace the potential
fertility that gees up in smoke each spring.
1t is a question affecting the welfare of every
person residing, or expecting 10 reside here. The
wanton waste of valuable material should not be
permitted, even if the landowners themselves con-
sented to it. 1t is robbing The future-impover-
ishing the whole state-reducing its productive
capacity and squandering of its most vital
sets. 1t is high time the law took hold of this
evil, end by the imposition of appropriate penal
ties. severe enough to be effective. conserve this
valuable resource.

A SUGGESTION FOR FLORIDA

A few years ago the Masons Of San Luis Val
Icy IN southern Colorado, decided they wanted
recreation park of their own. They formed an
association, went up into the very heart of the
Rockies, the upper waters of the Rio Grande.
and purchased, for few hundred dollars, the
homestead" of a sheep rancher which he had
failed to make a living. 1t contained thirty or
forty acres of comparatively level land, while the
residue of the quarter section stood on It's edge
Prospecting over it, they found spring, which
the homesteader had overlooked spoutng out of
the mountain side FIVE hundred feet above tn,
level of the river They built small reservoir
and pped this water down into the valley. where
they had erected rather Aimsy lodge hall,
building for the Ladies of the Eastern Star and
camp FIRE place under a shelter This constitutes
practically the sum total of their investment, prob
ably not S., 900 all told
They laid cut a regular townsite on the fiat
lands held the title, because under the Colorado
law the association was exempt from taxes sold

lotto the members who proceeded al once after
their individual taste to erect summer cottages
thereon.
The cottages run from tyVo-room log nuts up
to SIN or seven-rcom house with modern convcn-
fences. occupied by the keeper of the park, who
has nothing to do but fish. Members OF the asso-
citation either spend the week end in the park or
they make their home in tents or cottages during
the summer months Masonic meetings occasion
ally draw large crowds, but usually. through the
summer, there no more than can find pleasant
recreation. Ii is only few miles to market and
living expenses cheap, while the river, well
stocked with three or four varieties Of trout, sup
plies large part OF the cuisine
here arc dozen organizations in this state
which could carry this idea into effect, varying it

CARNATIONS outside the state which could utilize
similar plan in providing their winter residences
here No place in America is superior 10 Florida

year, and then rather on account Of the scenery
than for anything there is to do this state invites

possible means Of protecting against cxortion-or

Man wants but little here below nor wants
that little long the poet wrote, long years ago,
and he was headed wrong. Men think that creed
has little worth and view il with grin for they
not only want the earth but want the fence
thrown in. The more humble mortal gets, the
more he wants to own, and even when he's rich he
sweats to add another bone. This world would
be sad old vale, and life would be fright, if
people didn't want to nail most everything in
sight. Invention would be lying dead. its tri.
umphs all unknown; man wouldn't have his fold
ing bed his clock telephone. Pale Science
wouldn't scale the heights where we see her
trot. and we would miss the useful lights that
cost so much watt. All joy would see its
epitaph and nothing would amuse, and | would
have no monograph to play The Foxtrot Blues
Man wants the earth. and it is well that he should
for it yearn; that he may see his bundle SWELL

gun or motor car, or paints Stag at Bay"

IDAHO'S ICED SHIPMENTS
RUNS INTO MILLIONS

More than $4,700,000 is the value of
Idaho's farm crops shipped under ice
in August and September, according
to reports of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press company received Wednesday
in the office of Miles Cannon, state
commissioner of agriculture, says the
Idaho Statesman.
These products were shipped in
7O56 refrigerator cars, and with the
exception of a few cars from north of
Pocatello, all the cars were loaded in
southern Idaho, between Pocatello
and Weiser. The report does not in
clude any October shipments, nor does
it take into account such shipments
as celery and lettuce, production of
both of which is increasing yearly.
Box car shipments, which have been
heavy, are not included in the report.

HEADWAY ON
LOLO PASS ROAD
SEATTLE MAN WRITES OF EF-
FORTS UNDER WAY FOR I'M
PORTANT HIGHWAY LINK

The following article regarding the
Lolo Pass highway, from this morn
lng's Lewiston Tribune is of interest
to all sections of north Idaho:
Progress of the movement in be-
half of the Lolo Pass highway is well
indicated in a recent communication
received by Lloyd Horris of the good
roads committee of the Lewiston
commercial club, from M. J. Carrigan,
chairman of the tourist and conven-
ton committee of the Seattle cham
ber of commerce and commercial
club, who was one of the members of
the delegation that visited Lewiston
some time since, and leading
worker in the Lolo Pass movement.
In his letter, among other things,
Mr.. Carrigan says:
MIR. Thomas, the executive secre-
tary of our chamber, left few days
ago for New Orleans, to attend the
national convention of commercial
club secretaries. He will stop at
Washington on his way back to see
Mr. Underwood and to push all mat
ters concerning the Lewis and Clark
highway through the Lolo Pass. He
will return to Seattle about Novem-
Der Is.
"The Phipps-Dowell federal high
way bill and the Townsend federal
highway bill were both referred to a
joint senate and house conference
committee, and have been amended by
this conference in several important
particulars. This bill, as it will come
out of the conference, will be up for
passage by congress, it is expected
within tbn for low
ter of fact, the expectation now is
that this bill will be passed by con-
gress within the next ten days, in
order that the federal highway funds
may be made available at once on
various important projects to relieve
the unemployment situation.
II have instruced Mr.. Underwood
to send out a supply of the confer
ence bill, as soon as it is reported out
and printed, or as soon as it become
law. I will Immediately forward two
or three copies of this bill 20 you as
soon as we receive it here. You
might save several days, however, in
securing copies of the federal high
way road bill as agreed TO in the
Joint conference, if you would write
lirect to Congressman John W Sum-
uSIo, dShllS IT'LL W Souu YOU TWO OT
hree copies of the bill Congressman
summers is greatly interested in the
,olo Pass highway, and is going to
10 everything in his power to help us
ret the money out of the first forest
eserve funds available for the COM
'letion of this highway through the
'elway forest reserve.
"The map and the accompanying
alta concerning the Lewis and Clark
highway that we sent out from the
hamber has, I think, been used by
very paper across the states of
Idaho and Montana, to
Which they were sent. We have re-
eived copies of many papers con-
aiming this map and descriptive data,
nd many of them contained fine edi-
orials emphasizing the necessity of
he early construction of the Lolo
'ass highway"
