HOLD FOREST FIRES. F. A. Fullaway, supervisor of the Nez Perce National forest reports that the week’s develop- | ments in the fire situation were not discouraging, but he called attenton to the fact that the sea- son has been the driest in thirty years with all the menace that unfavorable winds might prove} to be. He is disturbed also over a large fire that has developed in the Mallard creek district about fifteen miles from Dixie and in a locality that is difficult of access. Not much data is available as to the scope of the blaze. The Lightning creek fire | is in fair shape now after having burned over about 1500 acres. The Gospel creek fire, in the Adams camp region, is still burning and has covered about 5,000 acres. Sixty men are fighing this fire. Mr. Fullaway, whose head- quarters are at Grangeville has no information as to the report of the loss of sheep by Mr. Dunham of Whitebird in the Adams camp section. He has been advised that 300 or 400 sheep have been located in safety. No word has yet been received from Mr. Dunham who hurried into the district when i report of the loss was receiv- ed. There are about 400 men working on the Nez Perce re- serve fighting the fires. OUR RICH UNCLE SAM. Before the war the United States owed other nations five billion dollars. Now they owe us ten billion dollars. Our gold reserve is larger than that of any other nation on earth. The United States has oxrly 6 per cent of the world’s population, and 7 per cent of the world’s land, yet we produce as follows: 2U per cent of the world’s sup- ply of gold. 25 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of wheat. 40 per cent of the world’s sup- iy of iron and steel. 40 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of lead. = 40 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of silver. 50 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of zine. 52 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of coal. 60 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of aluminum. 60 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of copper. 60 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of cotton. 60 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of oil. 75 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of corn. 85 per cent of the world’s sup- ply of automobiles.

H. Nash, state land com- missioner, at public auction. Valuations on the lands which are to be offered for sale range from $10 to $50 an acre. The} greater part of the land to be} offered for sale is suitable for agricultural purposes, but some is valuable chiefly for the timber on it. . Six sales in all will be held in the north, as follows: Latah county, August 25; Clearwater | . county, August 29; Shoshone county, September 2; Kootenai county, September 4, and Bonner county, September 6. The United States Fish Crop. The total value of the American fish crop, including that of Alaska and the insular possessions, is estimated now to be $150,000,000, allowing for the advances in value of the last year. The capital invested in the fisher fes of the United States, including ves- sels and the land establishments for handling the fish, is estimated at about $75,000,000, and the number of per- sons employed is 220,000. The value of the sea products turned out by the canneries is $50,000,000. Food experts did well during the war times to urge Americans to eat more fish, not only because this helped conserve the supplies of beef and pork products but also because eating some good fish frequently means a change in the average man’s diet which ts to his benefit. The same argument holds true in regard to vegetables and green things, of which many people in cit-, fes do not eat enough for their own good.

Truck Will Speed up your hauling and at less cost per mile then Horses In buying a motor truck the purchaser shoud select the one that will furnish the most efficient transportation with the least interruptions, at the lowest operating cost per year. The experienced operator of motor trucks real- izes what frequent delays and interruptions mean— not only in increasing the operating costs, but in loss of business by reason of inefficient deliveries. The GMC and 2 ton model are, by reason of cer- tain definite advantages over other trucks of like capacities, better able to supply dependable transpor- tation. They are properly designed, each unit is arranged to handle its proportionate work. This design is not some untried theory of the engineering department and adopted kecause it looks well, or is theoretically correct. The present models of GMC trucks are the result of many years of truck building. Motor tructs must stand hard service to be pro- fitable to their owners, and GMC tructs are built for that service; there is no pleasure car construc- tion in them, no freak practices. For this reason there is less lost time than with many others; they are dependable and durable. Their are many G. M.

It is a ten-to-one shot that Russian bolshevism will blow up and blow out &s suddenly as French terrorism van- ished a century and a quarter ago. Up to date the Russian revolution travels precisely the old track lald down by the French revolution, writes “Girard” in the Philadelphia Press, First Mirabeau and his solid type of revolutionists started the thing and put the skids under King Louis. Then along came such blood-letting terrorists as Danton, Murat and Robespferre, with their merciless guil- lotine working day and night beheaa- ing kings and queens and nobles, Then appeared the master, Napo- leon, who quickly made France one of the best ordered, best organized and most prosperous lands on earth. Russia's Mirabeau phase passed with the peaceful and practically bloodless dethroning of the czar. Then fol- lowed the terrorists, Lenine and Trot- zky. France's reign of terror lasted only a couple of years, It does not seem possible that among Russia’s 180,000,000 people there Is not a Bonaparte to catch the wild horses and put a bridle on them. After it was over ft seemed an in- credibly easy thing to turn out King Louis and Czar Nicholas. It will be just as easy for Russia to upset her present masters as to unseat the Romanofts. It Is a poor sort of a revolution that can’t revolve all the way round and weep the heels of both the ezar and the bu'shevikt off our neck, HOW HE EARNED .i!? CRVSS American Soldier of Chincss Parem- age Talks Modestly of Deed of Great Bravery. Corporal Sing Kee, color sergeam of the Three Hundred and Sixth In- fantry of the Seventy-seventh division, holds, one may fairly believe, the dis- tinction of being the only American soldier of Chinese descent who ever won a Croix de Guerre in France. The corporal is a modest warrior, not lo- quacious In the tongue of his fellow soldiers; and when asked by a reporter to tell how he won his cross he re- plied, “What did I do? I did, that's all.” Others, however, are more ex- plicit, and what Corporal Sing Kee really did was to carry messages through gas and shell fire. He was one of the twenty runners between commanders of advanced battalions at Mont Notre Dame, and at the end of the second day the corporal was the only one still remaining in action. Late in the afternoon he was gassed by the enemy, but managed to reach his dest!- nation, After that came the Croix de Guerre, honorably earned by the Amer- ican soldier of Ch'gese parentage who just “did, that’s ‘All.”"—Christian Sci- ence Monitor.
