Forest fires are numerous and i'll some
places excite grave apprehension, At this
time of the year people out in the woods,
whether for work or pleasure, cannot be
too careful as to how they handle fire. a
case i'll point: A man was fishing the
past week in one of the streams on the
Wild River Lumber Co.'S land; he lit his
pipe, and threw the match on the ground,
the grass ignited and in less than one
minute fire had spread over an area OF
fully an acre. This is no cxaggeration.
The fire continued to spread and took i'll
its course two or more lumber camps,
several individuals lost their clothing,
and one man nice watch and chain. All
this loss brought about through sheer
carclcssness of that fisherman in throw
ing down lighted match 1t seems al
most pity he escaped its ravages.
