CAMPERS CAUSE MOST
OF THE FOREST FIRES

What starts these forest fires?
This question has been asked over
and over again this summer by
readers of the accounts of the de-
structiye fires which have been rag
ing in all parts of the country.
\ Campers and locomotives, is the
Usual answer. Many of the other
things which start blazes in the for
est are forgotten. 1t is true that
perhaps one-half to three-fourths of
the forest fires do begin as result
of the carelessness of some camper,
or from sparks flying from locomo-
tives, but there are a number of
things which set the woods aire.
A Complete Report.
A complete report Of forest fires
on the private forests of the coun-
try and their causes is not kept by
anyone. Uncle Sam, however, is
most careful to account for the dam
age done. by the blazes on his tim
berland under forest administration,
aggregating about 168,000,000 acres,
and each year the total area burn
ed over, the timberland burned over,
the amount of timber destroyed and
its value, the cost of fighting fires,
and the causes of fires are carefully
checked up. These reports are made
at the end of the calendar year, and
the announcement of this years loss
es will therefore not be known for
more than one month.
Last Years Figures.
Last years figures, however, give
a. good idea of the things which
cause fires in forests. Of the 1856
fires discovered on the National For
ests last year, all of which were
checked by the rangers before they
had burned over fourteen hundredths
of one per cent (14-100 of 1 per
cent? of the National Forest area,
campers caused 346, while railroads
followed next with 273; lightning
came next, with 176; donkey en-
gines used in numbering operations,
fourth, with 65; careless brush burn
ing by homesteaders clearing land,
81; fires caused by incendiaries and
those set by herders and hunters, 80.
For more than 400 of the fires the
cause is not known. This is not
strange when it is remembered that
fire may smolder for days, if the
air is too thick to permit the smoke
to be seen at a distance before it
breaks out when famed by a wind
so as to reveal its presence to the
watchful forest officer.
Campers Cause Fires.
While campers caused more fires
than locomotives last year, there are
many seasons when the railroads
hold undisputed claim to first place.
Forest fires started by both are most
ly unnecessary. If campers would
exercise care In starting camp fires
and be sure that they are extin
guished before thew are left, and If
the railroad COMPANIES would use the
most modern and efficient spark ar
rosters. it is reasonable to think that
the annual forest fire loss could be
reduced more than one-half. Light
wing ranks third among the causes
4bf fires, and of course, man has no
greater responsibility in this case
than to put the fire out as soon as
possible after discovery. Careless
brush burning by homesteaders and
persons clearing land is said to be
the cause of many Of the fires which

MURDERER STILL AT LIBERTY

Up to a late hour last night nc word had been received in the city from any of the officers who have been searcing the hills and desert for Carlos Real, the murderer of R. w. Watson. who was killed in the local railroad yards on last Saturday night A theory lately advanced seems to be gaining believers; it is to the effect that Real made no attempt to cross the international boundary line. Ac- cording to this theory the murderer took advantage of the handicap he had to get into Dubacher Canyon and over the hiIls in that direction ts Pearce. It is believed that he would be expecting the officers to operate from all directions to prevent his crossing the line and took advantage of this to go in the oppose direc- tion. 4 detail q Raneers are now securing the valley.

 There was a crazy negro in ona oe the rooms of the house. and he had an idea that he was q surrey. The oepu- ties did not know that he was crazy and they ordered him out of the room.

Did you ever see a surrey without wheel move from place to place In the manner of the best of regulated car riaEe houses? Go to the jail and get the deputies to tell you all about II. They'll tell 1t to you straight, and VIII swear to 1t on the basis of their well known regulations.
 There were two deputies who saw the sight, and as both of them told the same tale at different times.-wel let the reader draw his own conclusions. This is going to be the account or Deputy George Wilson. Deputy MIG rec who helped make the arrest re- fused to be interviewed, saying that the was too busy electioneering.
 The story Is that one John FaulK- ner, a negro, having some disagree meent with his wife drove her from his domicile. The negress came 10 town and swore out a warrant for her husband and perfectly content that the matter was out of her hands and In the clutches of the law. started home with several companions.
 The husband was waiting in the road with a revolver razor and a large pocket knife. All of them were handy and he said that there was going to be some carving before the night was over.
 His wife, returning with her party from town was in high glee. Near ing the house a negro stepped Into the road and asked whether hfs wife was In the crowd. The negro was John Faulkner and he was recognized bv the driver, who replied thst she was
 John then brought his revolver Into nlay. and fired five times at a woman whom he took to be his wife. He got the wrong woman however. The woman was shot in the hip, and several of the bullets made her dodge and yell that she was killed. The driver whipped up his mules and there was no carving done.
 But to get to the surrey.
 The deputies, Wilson and McRea. went out to the place and surrounded the husbands house. They demanded entrance and were admitted. Then
