FIRES MUST BE ALLOWED
TO BURN THEMSELVES OUT
Forest CONGREGATIONS in the Rocky
Mountains Beyond Control

DENVER. Col. Sept. 1S.-Forest
fires are sweeping bare of timber sec
tons of the Rocky mountains, from
the Wyoming line to Ce1Kral Colorado
The fires are spreading with terrible
rapidity and conditions are more seri-
GUS now than at any time since the
first fire was reported "a month ago.
Government inspectors and forest
brigades are doing all in their power to
check the flames and are receiving all
possible assistance from ranchers and
mining men. The government Off
cials can see but little hope of sue
cessfully extinguishing the flames and
must necessarily allow them to burn
themselves out, and much fine timber
heretofore untouched by the devouring
flames have been wiped out or else is
now burning without hope Of being
saved.
