FOREST FIRES
Are Causing Great Damage in
Colorado Timber Lands.

Denver. Col. Sept. 1s-Forest fires are
sweeping bare Of timber sections OF the
Rocky mountains from Wyoming line TO
Central Colorado. The fires are spreading
with terrible rapidity and conditions are
more serious now than at any time since
the first fire was reported about a month
ago.
Government inspectors and forest bril-
gades are doing all in their power TO
check the progress or the flames and are
receiving all possible assistance from
ranchers and mining men. In some places
the fires have been checked but not sub
dued. The greater portion OF them, how
ever, have gained such hcadway that,
with the limited force of fire fighters and
other means at hand, the government off,
cials can see but little hope OF success
fully extinguishing the flames and mi,st
necessarily allow them to burn them-
selves out Now fires are reported daily.
