ing the original cause of the destruc-

There is gradually developing a dis

TO AID FIRE FIGHTERS.
Secretary Wilson Wants Wireless
Stations in Reserves.

Secretary Wilson Wants Wireless
Stations in Reserves.
Washington, Aug. GAN enter
prising plan to diminish the damage
annually caused by forest fires has
been devised by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson. The plan contemplates
the esta blishment of wireless telegraph
stations in all forest reserves so that
help may be summoned without delay
in case of fires. In discussing his plan
Secretary Wilson said:
while the plans are only tentative
as yet, the general idea is to construct
anautOmatic service which will give
the alarm when contact is made with
the flames or excessive heat. 1t Is
proposed to divide the reserve into Sec
tions, with an alarm and receiving sta
ton in each section. Take the Black
Hills reservation, for instance. There
are twelve rangers there under pay
from the United States. Zach one of
these men could be placed in charge
of station. 1t could be managed so
that these rangers could sound an
alarm Independent of the automatic
device in case they observed the fire
before the contact was made with the
apparatus.
"The Black Hills reservation is six.
ty miles wide and hundred miles
long, and you can see what serious
proposition it would be were a big fire
to gain considerable Roadway unan-
nounced. With the wireless arrange
ment these men employed by the gov
ernmsent, and hundreds of other for
esters, squatters, miners and others in
the vicinity, will be informed of fire
the minute it starts and they can
mount their horses and arrive upon the
scene in time to check the flames and
save thousands and thousands of dol
lars worth of trees.
"When the suggestion was first made
to me l was impressed with it, and the
more | think of it the more | am i'm
pressed. The only thing remaining is
to determine the practicability of the
scheme and if it will work as we be-
lieve it will one of the greatest steps
looking to the preservation of our trees
will be taken. If it can be made to
work it will be used in all of our reser
vations. aggregating 1000, 900 acres. y

Great Injury by Rust in Red River
Valley.
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 22.-Reports
from seventy points in Minnesota and
North Dakota, and few in Manitoba,
indicate that injury to the wheat crop
done by rust is great beyond all doubt.
1t will amount to forty per cent in the
Red River valley, and in North Dako-
ia it will run as high as sixty per cent.
The resume shows that the yield for
North and South Dakota and Minneso-
ia, which has been estimated at 215,-
600, 900 bushels will be reduced to APP
proximately $780, 900 600 bushels. Con-
ditions have become suddenly worse il,

nearly so per cent in both volume and
quality, extending over the entire

CUSTODIAN OF THE FLAG

Pleasant Berth at White House for a
Naval Petty Officer.
Lieutenant David F. Sellers Of the
navy has been charged with the deli
cate and important duty Of finding a
suitable petty officer in the navy for
assignment to duty at the White
House in charge Of the national flag
displayed over the residence Of the
President. As Is well known, the flag
is used to indicate that the President
Is at home. 1t Is raised at sunrise and
lowered at sunset in strict accorda nee
with military regulations. Different
sizes of flags are used according to the
weather, from small storm flag to
the standard post flag
Owing to the many mishaps which
have occurred In the past to the flag
on the White House, 1t has been con-
cluded that Its proper use and care Is
a sufficient duty for one man. Hereto.
fore the raising and lowering Of tho
flag has been intrusted 10 one Of the
men around the house having numer
GUS other duties to attend to. cOnse-
quently 1t has happened that the flag
has been flowing In distress, that 49,
with the Union down. when there was
no Occa sion for such signal. and at
other times the man in charge has for
gotten to raise or lower It at the
proper times or to change 1t to suit
the changed conditions OF the wealth
er. To meet these conditions, which
have sometimes proved embarrassing
it has been decided to have a capa BILE
man at the White House. whose sole
duty ii shall be TO look after the flag
In looking for such man 1t was
natural the authorities should favor
ably consider the selection of a petty
officer OF the navy. as all such officers
have had at least twenty years SER
vice on shipboard and are thoroughly
familiar with all the regulations and
customs governing the display of the
national emblem. Lieutenant Sellers
Is one OF the Presidents military aids
and he Ia also connected with the en-
!istment division Of the bureau Of nav
igation. and 80 is well Informed re-
garding the records Of the men from
whom the selection is to be made. The
choice will undoubtedly fall upon
some man who has rendered conspic-
uously meritorious service, ana who
may, by receiving this plea a MT assign
ment, receive some recognition for mis-
services Star.
