PUT FIRE ALARMS
ON FOREST RESERVES
To Make Protection Against
Fires More Effective
Wireless Teleg-
raphy.

1t is reported that the agricultural
department is considering the advis-
ability of installing wireless teleg-
raphy in forest reserves throughout
the west with view to making the
system of forest protection more et-
f.ctive. While the present ranger
system is quite successful, numerous
laroe fires have occurred in reserves
patrolled by rangers because OF 'heir
inability to reach the fires at the
time of their origin. Secretary VII
sons idea is to provide each reserve
with a practical fire protection sys,
tenn that can be used to give an
alarm the moment fire is discovered
and oct the settlers and rangers to
the scene without delay. While not
satisfied wireless telegraphy can be
employed with good effect, Secretary
Wilson believes the plan worthy Vi
investigation, and has directed Ohie'
Moore of the weather bureau, t'
tour the Black Hills reserve II
South Dakota with view OF de
termining the possibilities OIL tnl'
new service. If it is found wireless
telegraphy is too expensive or I'M
practicable. Chief Moore will repor
nm some other fire alarm system ina
will he effective in reaching ranger
in all parts of the reserve as well .
settlers upon and adjacent to the re
serve.
II Is believed such a fire aiari
system will be especially ySluaoi
and practicable in a reserve IKE VI
Black Hills. where large mining y
terests are conducted WITHIN "

of men. Secretary Wilson VIII %

Our St. Louis Exhibits.

The SIGNAL begs to call the atten-
ton of its readers to the fact that
everyone interested should see to it
that Washington county in partlcu-
lar and Idaho in general should be
properly represented at the big st.
Louis fair. A better opportunity
was never and probably never will be
again offered for properly adyertis-
inc our great and varied resources.
But, YOU may say that Idaho is
already represented at st. Louis, ana
that it is too late now to send on
more exhibits. 1t is true we have
splendid exhibits there, but there is
plenty of room for more, and we
would urge that anyone having a
suitable variety Of fruit or produce,
or, in fact, anything that will at
tract, should send 1t on.
Messrs. Matthews X Moulton will
gladly prepare all fruits or produce
for shipment and X. 9. Mckinney
will see TO it that your exhibits are
properly forwarded to their destina-
ton. II isn't too late TO do it now,
as the big show will not close until
November lst.

fact it may be gold at both times, but
it should be eaten on an empty stom-
ach and not as dessert, when the
appetite is satisfied and digestion is
already sufficiently taxed Fruit
taken in the morning before the fast
of the night has been broken is very
refreshing and serves as stimulus
to the digestive organs. A ripe ap-
pie or an orange may be taken at
this time with good effect. Fruit to
be really valuable as an article of
diet, should be ripe, sound and in
every way of good quality, and, if
possible, it should be eaten raw. In
stead of eating plate of ham and
eggs and bacon for breakfast, mos
people would do far better if they
took some grapes, pears or apples
fresh fruit as long as it is to be had
and after that they can fall back Il
stewed prunes, figs, etc. If onl.
fruit of some sort formed an import
ant item in their breakfast, womel

stronger, and would have bette

county superintendent, Miss Mary
Harper. Four instructors are giving

teachers of this city. Miss Lee and
her highly meritorious work are too
we'll known to need mention. Miss
Lulu Wright, who comes for her first
time this year, is young woman OF
unusual ability and culture. She
speeks freely off hand, and her lec'
lures on physical culture and con
struction work have shown all who
heard her that she is master
teacher and we'll equipped for th'
work, both as teacher of children
and a teacher of teachers.
Miss Lee opened the Monda,

arithmetic, accompanied with actus
teaching, using nearly a dozen littl

GOOD NEWS FROM

Several Promising Properties

A. W. Bennett of Florence, and
H Sturdevant of Boise, came in last

Development work and prospect
ing have kept quite force of men
busy 'all summer, and results, they
said, are more than satisfactory, es-
pecially to those who have opened
up their ledges at any depth.
Mr.. Sturdevant, who is former
Cripple Creek miner, of much ex-
perience in Colorado fields, SAID he
had never seen anything in Cripple
Greek that equalled some of the
/
showings secured in the Marshall
Lake district of Idaho.
He said in the Helene Treasure

Bear creek about half a mile north
east of the Jewel, vein 80 inches
wide, had been opened up for a dis
tance of 600 feet 1t is high grade

to 500 to the ton. AT depth of
2S feet the vein gained five inches in
width and the values perceptibly i'm
proved. Mr.. Sturdevant said be
thought it would make bonanza

he said, have group 1000 fee'
south of the Jewel, and have opened

Ride on The ferris Wheel.

The great Expositions held during
the last fifteen years have produced
two marvellous examples Of engi-
neeriug and constructive ability.
One of these, the Eitfel Tower, was
designed and built by a FrenchmaH
at Paris for the Exposition Of 1883;
the other, the Ferris Wheel, was
designed and built by the lase Geo.
w. G Ferris tor the Worlds Column

Paris again held a great EXPOSE
ton in 1900 but failed reproduce any
feature 10 take the place Of the Elf
in 1904, planned and produced the
greatest Exposition the world has
ever seen. Scores of attempts were
made To invent something more Won
derfui and more attractive than the
Ferris Wheel, but as Paris failed to
Guido her own LiffeI Tower, so did
St. Louis fail to equal the farfamed
Ferris Wheel of the Worlds Column
bian Exposition of 1888. Arrange
ments were accordingly made to
bring the Ferris Wheel to the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition, and 1t
was given u location near the geo.
graphical center of the grounds.
The problem of moving the Fer
ris Wheel from Chicago to St, Louis
was stupeudous-4 200 tons of ma
terial, including the 70-ton axle, be-
sides engines, boilers and derrtcks
and falsework, had 10 be transport
