| Why Burn the Forests?
|
! fires have been raging in the woods in diff
ferent parts of the adjoining country for
several days and great deal of country
has been burned over, though as yet no
buildings have been destroyed, the loss
| being confined to the destruction of fences,
cordwood and timber. The fire discovered
in the country south of the North Star
mine was found to be of incendiary origin,
as it was started in different places. Owing
| TO the dryness of the country, and aided by
| brisk wind, the fire made rapid Roadway,
| and spread from near the Perrin ranch into
| James McDonald's ranch, and into the
timber surrounding the sulphuret works of
! T. Petitjean, which only escaped destruc-
| ton by the aid of many men who helped
! to fight the flames. 1t then spread into the
ranch owned by William Loutsenheiser,
| where the most damage was done, about
200 acres of young pines being destroyed.
Here the fire was brought to stop, hay-
| ing reached cleared ground. Another fire
was started on the ranch of John Hastings,
at Kentucky fiat. Hastings had warrant
sworn out and man arrested who he says
| he caught setting fire to the woods.
