CONSERVATION. 

 i 

 so the focused rays next day would 

 light on dry leaves and other com- 

 bustibles. The sub does its work and 

 i ho Innocent cowboy proves an alibi, 

 for he is fifty miles away. 1 met a 

 range rider in the Rockies and bad a 

 long talk with him. lie would say to 

 stock owners. "You can put only so 

 many head on this range and you must 

 pay for it." "Nol much, we have had 

 this range and we are going to have 

 it." He would tell them, "I represent 

 the U. S. government. You cannot af- 

 ford to have a war with 90,0011,000 

 people." Often his life was threatened. 

 All manner of trumped up charges 

 were sent on to Washington and some- 

 times he had to face fire both front 

 and rear. But those heroic men, like 

 the mounted police of Canada, have 

 convinced the ranchmen there is a law 

 in the land and it must be obeyed. 



In a terrible time like this, when 

 most of our northwestern forests 

 are tinder boxes, what could be done 

 without our range riders and their sys- 

 tem of fighting fires? Sometimes they 

 are at it for 48 hours without let up. 

 One man found two of them lying on 

 the ground in the deep sleep of utter 

 exhaustion. They lay as they fell and 

 the ants were running over them. Per- 

 haps these men took a little relaxation 

 and then the cry goes up, "See those 

 lazy fellows and the waste in the for- 

 est service." No figuring, you under- 

 stand, of the waste of the fires and 

 the ax. All manner of abuse was 

 heaped on the chief forester, but there 

 was a vision before him, one of ruin 

 and desolation and he wrote, talked 

 and pleaded till the tide turned and a 

 great victory was won. A crisis came 

 and issues involving hundreds of mil- 

 lions. The forester broke a piece of 

 red tape and he must go. No matter 

 that he stands for a great principle. No 

 matter that he has given his means 

 and his life to a great cause. But, 

 thank God, the nation is fully aroused 

 and our forestry system is established. 

 The People Aroused. 

 You can readily see the clashing of 

 interests. Leading men in our Pacific 

 Coast cities want the bars thrown 

 down. The future may care for itself. 

 They want the coal dug and the water 

 powers to be exploited, and flocks and 

 herds to have free range. It all makes 

 business and we want business now. 

 There never yet was a national park 

 laid out or a forest reserve made, but 

 what there was a tremendous protest. 

 When the government made a reserve 

 near Cass Lake, Minn, a howl long and 

 deep went up. When we tried to have 

 a park in the Wet Mountain valley 

 and could have gotten a bill through 

 Congress for one of the sublimest re- 

 sorts, Colorado congressmen sat down 

 on it. But slowly and surely the peo- 

 ple are going to rule. This country is 

 going to be saved. Not only conserved, 

 but made more beautiful and attrac- 

 tive.

 \\\. have a very attractive window dis- 

 play. This consists of a rustic scene 

 with a representation of the old 

 bridge, the pond and the high bank 

 nl moss and stones at the rear. In the 

 pond are the usual goldfish and turtles 

 while ou the bank is the "county jail" 

 with "Jeff" looking out of the window 

 and ".Mutt" standing on the bridge 

 viewing the scenery. This display 

 causes a large number of the passers- 

 by to slop in front of the window and 

 should prove to be a good business- 

 gel ter. 



Work is progressing rapidly on the 

 new undertaking of the Gude Bros., 

 Co., on the old American Rose Com- 

 pany plant. One house, 50 by 450, is 

 completed and planted with Radiance, 

 .Mrs. Taft and white and pink Killar- 

 ney roses. Another house 125 by 250 

 is planted to asparagus plumosus. 

 Three more houses are now under con- 

 struction and these, when completed, 

 will be planted to American BeauCy 

 roses, sweet peas, and carnations. The 

 buildings are admirably situated on 

 rising ground with a southeastern ex- 

 posure. The Gude Bros. Co., expect 

 to have about 100,000 square feet oi 

 glass on this new plant by October 15.
