MUST HAVE STOVES.
Forest Fires in Colorado Started by
Careless Campers.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Aug. 13-For
hundred miles in each direction from
Glenwood, fires can be seen. SO numer-
Gus are the fires in the forest reserves
that the chief of the supervisors, May of
Denver, had caused to be posted by the
forest rangers, notices that hereafter no
persons will be allowed On the govern
ment reserve near the White river or on
the battlement mesa without being pro-
vided with a stove Of some kind for cook
ing purposes. 1t is supposed the fires
were started by careless campers.
If the dry weather continues, the de-
struction Of government timber as well
as that on private land will be irrepara-
bic, while the destruction of the water
sheds will work severe hardships on
those who depend for their water on
mountain streams
