POOR FORESTRY METHOD BLAMED
FOR WESTERN CONGREGATIONS

on the ground as fire menace be-
cause the average citizen is not
familiar with these woods and
hence hesitates to buy them as
lumber.
'The Forest Service is now COM
piling all available information on
the properties and uses of these
Iittle-used kinds of wood with q
view of informing the public of
what they are good for"
The Winslow mail., 1926-08-13

MADISON, Wis. - Poor forestry
methods were partly blamed for
the western forest fires during the
past month by Aldo Leopold, asso-
ciate director of the United States
Forest Products laboratory here at-
ter returning from survey OF the
timber wastes in the west Mr..
Leopold spent number of years
in the western forestry service
prior to coming here two years ago.
'The plague of forest fires which
has afflicted the inland empire for
the past MONTH" he said. sis caus-
ed at least in part by poor utiliza-
ton of the forests. Uncut virgin
forests seldom burn.
"The real fire menace is found
on the cutover and burned over
lands piled high with waste wood,
in which, when the humidity gets
low and the wind high, fire is well
nigh uncomfortable. Fires which
spread into green timber are usu-
aIlv found to have originated on
cutover lands. Land which has
been once burned is much more
susceptible to repeated fires than
land which has not been burned at
all. The fire menace is thus a Gu
mu1ative evil.
"The reason why so much waste
wood is left on the ground in lum-
bering operations is that the north
Idaho forests are composed of half
a dozen tree species which vary
greatly in market value and in the
proportion of sound material they
contain. Economic conditions have
forced the exploitation of the more
valuable species and less sound
material cannot be moved at pro-
fit. This unmovable material is
left on the ground. If uncut, only
the best portions are taken and the
rest constitutes a fire trap. If
uncut it is killed by the fires which
run in the cut material and which
also kill off the young growth,
pave the way for more fires, and
thus, complete the vicious circle of
deforestatiOn.
Public Can Help.
"To remedy this situation is a
difficult and complex problem, with
which both the Forest Service and
the lumbermen's associations have
been graphing. In most respects
the remedy must be worked out
locally, but there is one way in
which the general public can help
and that is to help utilize the spe-
cies which are left behind in lum-
bering because of lack of public ap-
probation of their values. A con-
siderable part of the larch, white
fir, and western hemlock which
grows in the inland empire is left

Cady Corporation
Complete Dry Kilns

The Cady Lumber Corporation,
after being practically closed down
for several months, engaged in
building twenty-one dry kilns for
handling the lumber, and at which
an army of workmen have been en-
gagged in the work, word comes
that the mill will soon start opera
tion. The dry kilns mean the in
Vestment of a good many thousands
of dollars, and the general hope is
expressed that they will be sue
cessful in drying of the lumber,
which has been a decided impedi-
ment at McNary for a long time
There is. SO much moisture in the
way of rain, snow, etc, up in the
White Mountains that it has been
almost impossible to have any
large quantity of lumber in such a
condition so that it could be plan
ed and sent to the market. This
has been especially true of the
winter and rainy seasons.
The opening of the great lumber
mills to production will be of ines
timable benefit to Apache and Ma
vajO counties as many men are
employed in the mills. The output
promises, according to reports, to
double that of last year, which ag-
gregated $500 carloads. 1t is be-
Iieved that the annual production
will now be at least 5000 carloads.

in the older California trees.
He spoke of dating timbers in
some of the Indian ruins around

Dr. Douglass says he hopes to
secure from the study of tree rings
historical data of climatic yaria-
ton sufficient for the reliable pre-
diction of future droughts and wet
periods.

The Cathode Ray

They call It the Cathode. ray. this
newly isolated bit of devilishness
that DIR. w. D. Coolidge learned how
to produce while fooling around with
X-ray tubes.
You obtain sealed vacuum first,
which is no easy stunt, and then
you pour on 100000 volts of cleo
tricity at a fraction of an ampere.
Over the thin nickel plate, which
isl called a window, there forms a
hemisphere halo of dim purplish
light that can be seen in a dark
room and that looks very innocent.
| Bring a mouse in contact with
that hemisphere and his body falls
apart. Bring a piece of iceland spar
in contact with it and the white
transparent crystal grows fire red,
though without heat. Bring gran
tie in contact with it and there is a
strange, colorful luminosity which
lasts for a few moments. Bring in
scots in contact with it, or bacteria,
and they die.

More Swimming

What the ladies have done in the

They have negotiated the English

Patience, Courage Made
DebS Outstanding
Apostle in u. S,
By Nj. Il. Tracy

Eugene v. Debs was too great an
impression on this country for his
passing to go unnoticed.
He was one of those rare men who
grow brilliant with borrowed ideas.
Adding little to the doctrines of
socialism, he became its outstand-
ing apostle in America.
If Taft had not sentenced him to
six months in Jail some thirty years
ago, he might never have embarked
or the career he did.
Patience, courage an da consist
ent personality gave him almost I'M
disputed control over the Socialist
party. Five times he was its can
didate for President, once while a
prisoner of the Federal Govern
ment.
The remark for which he was sent
to prison would be considered COM
monplace, If not trite. under ordi-
nary circumstances. This served TO
create widespread sympathy in his
behalf after the excitement and
emotionalism incident to war had
died down.
The American people have no
more use for socialism than they
ever did. but they have a much
kindlier feeling toward Eugene V.
Debs.

MANAGING OTHER PEOPLES
LIVES
BY N. ID. Cochran.

It sometimes happens that men develop such a
mania for managing the lives of others that they
neglect and fail successfully to manage their own.
Consider the activities of Sebastian s. Kresge who
has amassed great fortune by running 5-and-1Ocent
stores. For he has been of the most liberal
contributors to the AntSaloon League, which has I'M
dertaken to reform all who look upon the wine when
it is red or otherwise indulge in intoxicating
ages.
In Detroit the general manager or Kresges sand
1o-cent business also a militant Christian For he
is president of the Detroit Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, and assumed responsibility Withdrawing
the invitation previously extended to President Green
of the American Federation Of Labor to speak under
the auspices Of the Detroit Y. M. c. A.
In a business way Mr.. Kresge has been a great
success but he appears to have been less fortunate
husband and head of family At any rate he has
had two wives and both Of them got away
His first WIFE Mrs. Anna Harvey Kresge, who
rose with him from ordinary circumstances riches
and became the mother of his five children divorced
him in 1928 few months afterward the energetic
Mr.. Kresge who is 81 years old, married a second
wife, who is 49,
In New York the other day Supreme Court JUS
tice temporarily enjoined him prosecuting in De-
troit suit for divorce against his second wife, Doris
Mercer Kresge.
1t appears that while Mr.. Kresge has lived in New
York for many years., he started the divorce suit
against his second wife Detroit claiming that he
was resident Of that city, and charging his wife
with desertion which is legal ground for divorce in
Michigan. Mrs Kresge asked for the Injunction on
tue ground that Mr. Kresge is a resident of New
York State and not of Michigan.
Several months ago the second Mrs. Kresge sued
her husband for $500 shares of the s. S. Kresge Co
stock, worth about 100000, which she charged was
due her under prenuptial agreement Mr.. Kresge
commended that Mrs. Kresge received the before
marriage while she q music student. But Mrs
kresge contends that there was agreement and
that it referred to $500 additional shares
But no matter. The financial agreements between
Mr. Kresge and his second wife need concern us
Neither need we bother about why his first wife and
mother of five children divorced him and the second
wlre left him. 1t Is possible that he was too good.
Many things possible.
The outstanding fact is that the who was so
successful as business man, who so loved his
feow-lnen that he became tremendously in
reforming them and managing their lives for them
appears to have made of managing two wives
or of so managing himself that they wouldn't leave
him.
Ii there is any moral at all to this story it may
be that a man may get big Kick spending
his money to reform everybody else and get away
with it, but when he let's his reforming zeal tempt
him to try it out his wife-well, that's something
else again.

&, DON'T BE GREEDY

If the gentlemen who industriousy trying to
combine the two electric light utilities of this city
believe that this is proptous time to get over an
exaggerated valuation their properties, they may
be mistaken
The preliminary announcements are most de-
Hghtfully vague as to the exact amount of stocks
which the public service will be asked to authorize
as the value of the combine when it is made
Even in these days of big figures there is some
thing rather suspicious when no estimate Is made
which does not range from forty to fifty millions"
The combination of these rival utilities is logical
Of course if eliminates waste and duplicate effort
in the furnishing necessity. Light, heat and pow
er are fundamental to city growth. That there
would be combination was easily pred1ctaDle from
the day that Samuel insult somewhat famous for
his donations to public utility commissioners, entered
the city, bought control of plant and paid fancy
price for a huge block of stock in his rival upon
which he could expect immediate dividends.
1t was certain when the local company changed
It's corporate front for the purpose of protection OF
the stockholders who did not sell to insult Now the
people are to what is happening to them and to
public utilities when rivals get together for their
common good
The public service commission will be asked to
fix a value upon these two properties. The amount
fixed will determine rates light and power for
all time 1t will also determine the amount of
wages" which will be asked for the service of pool
ing their interests.
The first announcement carries with 1t sugges-
ton that the combination will be valued at anywhere
from eight to fifteen millions of dollars more than
the two plants are worth separately.
Undoubtedly the fnanciers have their experts
who will be ready to prove that such is the case,
unless the public wakes up and hunts for the alacy
of their figures. Quite certain Is the fact that
there will be an effort to collect from people of this
city all the increased values caused by the war and
the consequent rise in prices of materials that go
into electric light plants
The owners of utilities have the fixed idea that
they ought to be able to collect debts from the
people who fought and the They want
what they call Reproduction value" which means
war prices their property bought before the
Perhaps these men may think that because the peo-
pie very much interested in looking at the dismal
picture of Indiana government with its unbelievable
infamies and its plots and conspiraces too intent
on furnishing politicians who rose to power through
corruption and fraud, to take notice Of so small
thing as clear get away with ten fifteen millions
of dollars.
The Times hastens to them that such is
not the fact Any effort to gouge the people at this
time will be exposed quite completely and as
thoroughly as The Times has exposed graft and
corruption and treasons in Office and in politics. 1t
pledges just thorough job here as it has per-
formed in the Stephenson matter.

That Free Trade Cry

A great yell for free trade, but it
has a different sound when taken
up by foreign bankers and captains
of industry.
The big European brethren want
a more open American market in
which to dump their cheap goods
made possible by cheap labor.
To be sure, they did not say as
much in that appeal for lower tariffs.
They were circumspect, as men of
international stature should be. and
spoke in guarded general terms.
They seemed to have only
Europe in mind, but they meant
America, and they spoke grandly OF
world trade, when their thoughts
were of our consuming power and
our. cash.
For the nation with low wages
and low living standards, free trade
is obviously a blessing.
If we want to level things out
and go down as the Chinese coolie
comes up. free trade offers the
quickest and most available means.
We cannot be unreasonable with
our protective measures, of course,
or set up such tariff barriers as
would strangle commerce. but this
is no time for America to throw her
doors open just because a crowd Of
European industrlalists see a chance
to get rich by selling her low priced
products and throwing a lot Of her
own people out of work

EUGENE V. DEBS

Most folk can not agree with the economic the
cries of Eugene V. Debs five times Socialist candi
date for the presidency but few will dispute that he
was one of the most remarkable Americana of his
time.
He was so because of his constancy to his
ideals his neverfang courage in his lifelong fight
for those ideals, and his tender and human sympa-
thy for the underdog.
1t takes great figure in the drama of life to
go to prison unfinchingly in the belief that he is
right and the rest of society wrong, and to accept
pardon from the President of the United States with
a simple dignity which outmatched that of the Presi-
dent who gave the pardon.
Debs war experiences, however, were only one
high light in life conducted battle against
what he conceived to be oppression and wrong The
Pullman strike for which he first to JAIL his
many other bitter experiences the obloquy and rage
which seemed at times as if its burden must over
whelm even the most lion-hearted of men-aH these
experiences only threw into Sharper relief his great
human qualities.

he had decided that he against corruption and
that the guilty should be punished.
At no time has he asked for Investigation
not even when his manager, Clyde Walb, announced
that there was evidence of corrupt money in every
precinct in the State for the purpose of defeating
him,
At no time has he given to the people sign
that he is ready to clean out corruptonsts through
any orderly channel The best that he has done
was approve Of plan for committee named by
men who might be properly under suspicion.
There stands Watson. 1t hardly needed the
dramatic story of the $4,000 offer to one man to

had already revealed himself All else is but to
corroborate what he has already proved

WATSON REVEALED

The very first witness in the Reed probe makes
quite understandable the attitude Of Senator James
Watson toward investigation of the machine by
which he hopes to get back into power There can
be none so dull or so servile to the Senator as to
fail now, to know what the last thing that Watson
wanted was an inquiry before the Reed committee,
the occasion for which furnished OPPORTUNITY
by Clyde Wab.
For Watson stands revealed as the beneficiary and
the political prop of super Government which had
very direct interest in him and had hoped to place
him where it could march through the White House
with its fantastic fanaticism triumphant and Its pup
puppet in the presidency.
Certainly Watson must be very important to the
schemes of those who are trying to rule the State
when offer of $4,000 is made to man who has
following of only 800 men who rebeled against
surrender of their Amercanism.
No wonder Watson failed to join with The Times
in demanding that Reed come here to investigate
Stephensonism and did nothing but obstruct and in
terfere when it was doubtful whether Reed would
come to probe the charge of Clyde Walb as to whole
sale corruption gt
For if Watson has his secret bargains with the
present rulers Of the invisible empire it is quite as
reasonable to believe that investigation of the
rule of Stephenson in his days of political power
would find Watson also the political pal and partner
of the who is serving life sentence at Michigan
City. For If there is at the present time such I'M
usual efforts being made to corrupt elections by CIV
ing brides of $4,000 to man. what is to be said
of the days when Stephenson at the height of
his power and had wealth rolling into his Golfers?
When just when did Watson begin his chickering's
and his relations with this order? Was it not when
Stephenson ruled this State and the party to which
Watson gives allegiance? What it's relation
ships with Stephenson, what letters did he send,
what favors did he extend?
Perhaps the Reed committee may not be able to
discover this part of Indanas political history Per
haps that was one reason that Immediately from
the Watson camp came reminder that Reed had
power to go the 1924 elections and conditions
At least, it is reasonable to suppose that such
the for this hasty effort to limit the Reed
committee the hurried protest against probe at all.
Shocking is the evidence at the Reed hearing,
it is even less shocking than the Watson attitude
since the first charges of graft and corruption
from the Stephenson CELL
For his has been the shocking attitude of
effort to conceal to hide and cover rather than to
drag into the light the full facts.
1t was not until Watson had time to learn that
Governor Jackson and Clyde Walb had been forced
by Col Theodore Roosevelt to take stand for full
inquiry that Watson condemned corruption
At o'clock one evening at Kokomo he had gone
record saying that all this is trivial matter,
in which he was not interested At 1o:45 that night

DO THE FRENCH PAY TAXES?

Popular suggestions are hard to down.
Four or five years ago somebody remarked that
the French people pay almost no taxes.
Ever since then, whenever the subject of war
debts is broached-which, like prohibition not in
frequently happens-some one invariably remarks:
IF the French taxed themselves a little more
heavily they would pay what they owed without the
slightest trouble"
Last nights cables from Paris brought the news
that the Poincare government had completed
Frances 1927 budget Calls for expenditures totaing
approximately fifty billion francs
AS it is estimated that Frances national income
is about 15,0O0,O0O000 francs year simple arith
metc shows that about third of this will be taken
back from the people to meet the governments ex
penses.
