A Number Of Them Have
Already Occurred During
the Past Few Weeks.
.DAMAGETO SETTLERS HAS
BEEN GREAT IN PAST YEARS.
Precautions Should Be Taken To
Prevent Fires at This Season
of the Year.

Spring and fall are the seasons
for forest fires In Northern
Minnesota, and already this
spring a number of serious fires
have occurred in this vicinity.
The damage to timber is always
great when fires occur in the
woods, and all efforts to stop
them are in most cases OF no
avail.
The fires are in most cases
started by carelessness on the
part Of campers who leave their
campfires burning and by
farmers burning brush. In the
latter case the cause is not usu-
ally from carelessness, but
through the raising Of the wind
after the brush pile has been
fired. "A number of very serious
forest fires have taken place in
the vicinity Of Bemidji in the
past years and at one time the
fire department and all available
fighting force Of the village were
called out to check the blaze.
Although no serious losses
have been reported so far this
spring, ample precautions should
be taken for the preventions OF
the blazes.

While no action was taken at
the meeting to decide where the
next meeting of the ASSOCIATION
was to be held, Bemidn was
spoken of by several mem bers
and should an effort be made to
secure the meeting for this place
it would without doubt be
crowned with success.
