the smoke to be seen at distance

While campers caused more fires
than locomotives last year, there are
many seasons when the railroads hold
undlspted claim to4frst place. For;
est fires started by both are mostly
unnecessary. If campers would exer.
else care in starting camp fires and
be sure that they are extlnguished be-
fore they are left; and II the railroad
companies would use the most mod.

reasonable to think that the annual
forest fire loss could be reduced more
than one-half. Lightning ranks third
among the causes If fires, and Of
course, man has no greater RESPONSE
billy in this case than to put the
fire out as soon as possible after dis.
coyery. Careless brush burning by
homesteaders and persons clearing
land is said to be the cause Of many
of the fires which have started this
year, particularly those which have
