Must Stop Forest Fires.

Superintendent X. B. Shelter of the
state forestry reserves has received i'm
perative orders from Washington rela-
tive to the Enforcement OF the law for the
prevention of forest fires on the public
domain. Attention is called to the fact
that immense areas of public forests are
annually destroyed by fire, originating,
in many instances, through the careless
ness of prospectors, campers, hunters
and sheep herders, while, in some cases,
the fires are started with malicious in
tent. The public generally is requested
to aid the officers Of the government in
their effort to check the evil and in tn
punishment of the offenders.
Unprotected camp fires on the public
land and forest reserves are prohibited,
and forest officers are authorized to re-
move from the reserves all persons vio-
lating this order. Mr.. Shelter has been
given explicit and imperative command
to fully investigate every forest fire and
to spare no expense in following up and
bringing to justice any person who has
let fire get beyond control.
Campers, prospectors and settlers are
expressly reminded by Mr.. Shelter that
they.are not excused from blame because
they were not able to control the fire
which they may have started, but are
liable to prosecution for any damage it
may do. Already there have been sew
eral fires on the reserve this season, none
of which has done great damage.

Barefoot Children Fad.

p u . Is . .
Several years have elapsed since the
practice Of allowing children 70 70

A considerable impulse was given to
it by ths announcement in the press
that little Dorothy Drew, Mr. Glad

then the fad seems to have spread in
remarkable fashion and judging from

Perhaps the most curious result of
this latest whim is the sharp conflict
of opinion which it has excited among
the physicians. Some members of the

is not only healthful, but insures the
proper development and consequent
beauty of the exposed member; while
others hold that it is dangerous and
