THE FIRST FIRE By Mary Graham Bonner


 The little black clock had cer- tainly succeeded in turning the time way back, thought John and Peggy.
 ! The man they had been noticing wore the skin of some animal about his body. His hair was long. He wore no shoes, no stockings. He had a beard He looked very rough and very wild. He was just start ing a fire, they believed.
 John and Peggy thought of going toward him. But they decided they would wait for the little black clock to make suggestion
 It was the little black clock who had been given the magic which made it possible for hinl to turn to any time he wanted at all. 1. It was the little black clock who had invited them to come on ad- ventures with him.
 It was the little black clock who took them off at bedtime every evening, brought them back without their realizing it, and, the next evening, let them begin their ad- ventures just where they had left off
 Perhaps some would have said these adventures interrupted sleep But they didn't. It was all part of the little black clocks magic. He could make up their sleeping time for them-iust making an hour into two. and two hours into four So they waited for the little black clock to speak. However, it was not the little black clock who spoke first. It was the wild look ing man. And he began to shout; his eyes sparkled with excitement.
 Neither Peggy nor Jim could un- derstand what he said, but as he shouted there came up a second flame. They had seen the fire start. Then the wild man rushed into his cave. Other members of the family came out.
 They all looked wild. too.
 "What is it all about?" Peggy asked.
 What do they see besides the small fire that makes them so ex- cited" John asked.
 'It's the fire itself" the little black clock answered The man has just discovered fire. They've never seen fire before. They never knew how to make f. Shall we stay and watch them28

Forget Him For a While.
Olympia Olynpian.)

Wilber Huston winner of the Edison contest to select young man scientifically minded to perhaps follow in the footsteps of the genius of Menlo Park was guest of leading educators of the State and the Chamber of Commerce at banquet at the IOlympian Wednesday He didn't look much different from the average high school lad although the strain he has ben subjected to by enthusiastic public in the last few weeks has left it's teltale marks
 After attending the banquet and listening to all the speeches this writer decided that if young Huston is to be permitted to have normal college career and establish himself the basis of his own quail ficatons the best thing that can happen would be for the public to forget all about him for at least four years. It is tough living up to a model when your attention is continually called to that model No one knows that Huston has the qualifications to follow in Edisons footsteps certainly he will not have an even brvak in the attempt if the public continually points it's finger at him and says there goes the winner of the Edison prize" Forget him and give him chance to make good

TIME AND ECONOMIC LAWS USUALLY
 SOLVE PROBLEMS.

publicity circular recently issued by the Vest ern Division of the United States Chamber of Com merce declares:
 Shall the West continue to prosper or be
 checked in it's advance to center Of world
 importance by the denudng of the forestry
 lands? This is one question of great im-
 portance which the delegates to the West
 ern Divisional Meeting of the United States
 Chamber of Commerce at Ogden, Utah,
 September 30 and October l will consider.
 Walter Mulford Professor of Forestry,
 University of California, who has said that
 the West shall rise or fall according to our
 management of forested lands will lead
 the discussion on this topic Leaders of
 forestry thought from every one of the
 eleven Western States, as well as National
 authorities from Washington D. C.. will
 lend their thought to bringing about plan
 to insure a preservation with intelligent
 untilzation of Western timber areas
 There is no good reason why the delegates to the Utah meeting should not discuss the question of reforestation To do so might do some good However there is danger that the people will become overly wrought up about such matters People do not always take into account that the private owners of timber lands not going tC destroy the values of their lands. The holders ot large areas of timber lands in the country now providing for reforestaton. The circumstance that standing timber is worth from six seven to twelve fourteen dollars per one thousand board feet is taking in large of the situation People were careless about preserving standing tim Der when stumpage only twenty-five to fifty cents, even dollar, per thousand feet. But it is different now
 And that suggests that many of the problems that people worry about in the end solved by time. In fact, nearly all such problems disappear through the natural operation of economic laws No matter how much they discussed are theorized about they usually work themselves out The law of supply and demand is operating to protect the forests, and doing more to that end than all the hub-hub of the reformers.

Seattle -Intelligencer) International rivalry in shipping speed may spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific Our ocean, earths greatest floats many fine vessels but they do not evaporate the waves going between ports. Their service both passenger and freight, would be ade- quate for a world which is not in hurry.
 But the travelling world is in a hurry. Shipping men can't change this fact, so they will have to change their ships.
 Passenger traffic agents for shipping lines con- meeting Seattle and other Pacific Coast ports with the Far East observe that there has been little increase in tourist travel in recent years, this in the face of vast growth in such business the Atlantic. The Orient is interesting as Europe, so these agents hay reached the conclusion that tourists must be encouraged to the Pacific by making the crossing in less time
