Put Out Your Fires.

When you break camp, brother
sportsmen, put out your camp-ires.
Put them out. and be sure about it,
too. Elsewhere in this issue mention
is made Of the destructive forest fires
which have lately been raging in the
Upper Snake River country, North
western Wyoming. These fires, we
are reliably informed, owe their ex-
istence to the Indians natural greed
for slaughtering big game-the red
mans theory apparently being that
they serve to drive the animals to the
open, confusing them and thus render
ing them more easy of approach. But
number Of disastrous fires which
have burned their hideous way
through some of Colorado's finest
game country the present season owe
their origin to no such criminal source,
but in almost all cases to the careless
ness and happy-go-lucky methods of
the average camping-out party.
A gentleman who recently returned
to Denver from the Egeria Park coun-
try states that for two weeks prior to
his departure fires had been raging on
the Flat Tops above Trappers' Lake,
and also along the foothills below the
lake, extending to what is known as
the Oak Hill, and from there across
the Park Range to the neighborhood
of Steamboat Springs. The fire then
began to creep rapidly northward
toward the Gore Range, and had al
ready burned much valuable timber Mt
the head of Egeria Park. In our in
formant's immediate vicinity several
sawmills, half dozen dwellings and
vast quantity of hay had been de-
stroyed; and the efforts of the settlers
to check the fires further progress
were of but little avail. In addition
to the injury done the grazing industry
by this destruction of what is usually
fine winter range, the loss of SO
many acres of valuable timber is in
calculable. The immense forests of
timber that grew on the Flat Top.
were considered to be among the finest
in Colorado by those who knew, and
before many years rolled by would
have been utilized.
We have said thus much, because
we desire that our readers should fully
realize the extremely inflammable
character of the underbrush and sun
cured grasses in our dry climate at
this time of the year. When about to
move camp in a timbered country, if
water be w1sin carrying distance,
few pallfuls judiciously applied will
constitute an excellent insurance pol
icy.

THE GIN.


Drill hour among Uncle Sam's coast
elardsmen is always interesting, but
il is the merest chiid's play to the
reality, when, amid the fierce gales
taat ravage the Atlantic coasts, the
crews are summoned to the rescue of
Lhe sailors Or passengers of some itl-
perilled vessel. Day and night the
shore is patrolled, the beat on either
side of station usually extending for
from three to five miles. At the first
signal of.danger. the men at the life
station are alert and stand by ready to
rct the moment an opportunity offers.
A ship is seen drifting toleeward, with
the certainty of going ashore unless
the wind providentially changes. All
chances are against her.
This cart is a unique affair, and its
load is one to make landsman open
his eyes. 1t is a long, strongly built
wagon, with four wheels, those in front
being much smaller than the rear
wheels. On the back part is a good
sized square box in which are the lines,
the cartridges and other implements.
On it also are the gun, rammer, a pick
axe, two shovels, u breeches buoy, u
heavy sand anchor and wooden
'.crotch'' to keep the ropes out Of the
surf. Four men grasp the ropes in
front and, looping hem over their
shoulders. give n "heave-ho!' while
two others push from behind, and off
she goes. They pull the, cart along
the beach until a favorable point is
reached from which to open communi-
cation with the distressed vessei.r
Now the Lyle gun is sighted a. d
primcd. The projectile is q par g
petalabout, ten inches long and Yeien-
ing nineteen pounds. A&reEggf end is a
ring to which t1ash5I> is attached,
and this eps projects from the mouth
of the fttle cannon. A flag is waved
o.ttract the attention of those on
board the ship, and communication is
opened by means of the International
Cone of Marine Signals. An answer
ing flag runs up on the vessel showing
that the signal has been understood
and then the Life Saving crew send
the message:
t.Stand by for the short line"
A moment later there is Ia puff Of
smoke and loud report tells those on
board that the line is coming. All
hands eagerly watch for it, and the
moment it strikes across the ship, it is
caught and made fast.

A Difference Of Opinion.

lyn Eagle, and one said to the other:
.If you were going to marry would
you want an educated woman, one ac
quainted with all the topics of the day,
in fact, one who could converse on any
subject and have an opinion OF her
own, or one of the little wcak-minded
women that would look up to you as
her lord and masterp"
The answer was: I'D take wife

make her feel my superiority" And
No. said: .Td marry woman my
equal or superior in intelligence and
that would be an incentive TO me to i'm.
prove my mind to keep pace with her."

words: "How fortunate that every
man don't like the same woman or

'Bear away, men; bear away! Now
then, jump her!" cried Capt. W,n. II.
Rcinhart, chief of the Governments Life
Saving Station between Rockaway and
the Aew aristocratic settlement of
hrvelhe, on the Long Island coast
1t was the life saving drill. and six
brawney seaman responded with q will.
Out OF the little station sped the cart"
impelled by strong hands. Across the
heavy sand it went over to where the
surf was roaring, and then the work
began in earnest
Out with that No. liner called
She captain, whose sturdy form and
t6SgJ1owing beard, once yellow, but
COW tinged with gray, made him u
conspicuous figure even among his own
hardy fellows. Now, the gun. In
with the shot and ram her well home,
and see whether she won't carry the
linela full five hundred yards"
The sand anchor was taken out and
the shot line attached; then it was
fasp ned to the loop in the long shot,
and the latter, with cartridge was
raamed home into the little brass gun
which was plac ed in position for sup
posed vessel distance of quarter of
u mile away. Boom! went the Lyle
gun, and, amid smoke and noise, one
could see the long, slender bar of metal
hurting through the air almost in u
straight line from the mouth of the
piece. 1t fell into the sea, consid-
srable distance beyond the breakers,
and was picked up and made taut by
The surf boat
Now then. jump her again!" cried
tcinhart; and a hawser was quickly
attached and all the paraphernalia of
the station. brought into use. The
.'crotch'' was elevated and the line
kept we'll out of the swirl of the surf.
Then the Nbreeches buoy was rugged up
to the takle and looped on to the haw-
ser, along which it ran smoothly out as
tar as the boat and back again. Every
movement was performed with the ut
most skill and celelity, the heavy roll
ers meanwhile washing up to the feet
of tac crew.

SAyJNG A wRFCK.


Now the line is aboard the ship and
fastened, and the station men set about
sending out the "whip" line, or guide
TO the hawser with which the real work
is to be done. The serf is rolling in
great seething breakers and the vessel
is every moment getting into shoaler
water. She may careen, or even go to
pieces; and as lives are in peril no
time must be lost. The sand anchor is
made fast u little distance back from
the cart and the whip line is reeved
through a pulley which is fastened to
the anchor. This leaves it free to run
from the coil The hawser is attached
firmly, the ship Is again signaled and
the great heavy rope begins to move
out slowly through the white, heavy
serf. At last it reaches the vessel and
is firmly secured.
Next comes the adjustment Of the
breeches buoy, for when the surf is SO
heavy the buoy is the only practicable
means OF rescue. 1t is only in the very
heaviest seas that the metallic life car
is rcsorted 10. and it is SO unwieldly
and hard to manage that seamen are
shy Of it. The breeches buoy secure,
the bawser is raised by the use OF the
''crotch and with the buoy swinging
on the thin whip line, and running
along the hawser op pulley, IL makes
the first trip to thesinking vessel. One
man stands by the "crotch' during the
trip, TO see that it works safely; for u
slip OF the 'crotcL' while the buoy 10

The trips of the buoy are repeated
until the last soul is taken ashore.
Should there be II large number on
board. and the danger be imminent. the
surf boat is used. 1t is heavy boat,
twenty-seven feet long, about eight
feet wide, and weighing LOO pounds.
1t is built OF the best materials and fully
equipped with floats and life preservers
for the use OF the crew and those pas
sengers who may be taken aboard. In
the boat house, it rests on light wagon
which is easily run out TO the surf, and
the boat is launched from it into the
waves, the crew leaping in as she glidcs
out. The surf boat has capacity for
carrying at least a dozen persons con-
venisntly, besides, her crew OF six
men.
at is life OF danger and very

1.-The married have practically to keep
two homes off their little wages, for
they have to find their own food here
at the station. Their quarters are
furnished and the government allows
us 81 per month for the keep OF a
horse, and supplies us with our fuel.
Then, while the first uniform is sup
piled to us, we have to pay for all the
others, and as we have to keep two
suits, it is rather expensive. The two

"Well-no. 1t is the best projectile

A Young Benedict's Luck.

Galveston CTexl News Oct. 2.
Certainly there is no more propitious
time for fortune to knock at a young mans
door, as the Irishman asserts it does in tho
life of every man, than just after he has
taken unto himself a partner to share his
veal and woe in this life. A windfall Of
few thousand dollars at this period of q
mans life is very often keystone upon
which he may erect n fortune and achieve
success. Among the rare instances Of
this kind of recent occurrence we may
mention the case of MIR. p. l.. Peareson,
n rising young merchant, of Harland, Fort
Bend County, who purchased one-twentieth
of ticket No. 80, ,526, which won the second
capital prize of $4,000 in the drawing of
The Louisiana State Lottery on Tuesday,
September 10, 1889, and as a consequence
