Guarding Against Forest Fires.

The annual season of forest fires is
now at hand when extra precaution Is
necessary on the part of everyone.
Damage done by these fires cannot he
measured in thousands of feet of lum-
Der destroyed, for the innumerahle
young trees and seedlings burned repre-
sent future forests of inestimahle value,
aud the impoverishment of the soil at
fects the growth OF trees not yet started.
The public utilities commission of
New York has decreed that the rail
roads operating in the Adnondacks
shall burn oil to avoid such contlagra-
tions as were common last fall. 1t is
measures will be necessary in certain
sections of Vermont, but it is certain
that much can be accomplished toward
the elimination of forest fires 10y greater
care on the part of locomotive engineers,
farmers, hunters, campers, sawmill men,
and those who use the woods for their
Sunday recreation. These fires are
chiefly due to carelessness and ignor-
ance and can be largely avoided by the
use of an average degree of common
sense.
Next to precaution against starting
these fires is the necessity of controlling
them as soon as possible after they are
started. Two or three men can do more
toward putting out a fire right after it
is started than a hundred can do after
few hours. 1t was to insure this
prompt attention to all fires whether in
valuable woodlands or brush lands that
the law was passed making the first
selectman of each town fire warden for
that town. The wardens have authority
to 60 upon any land for this purpose
and call upon any person in the town
for assistance. All persons thus EN-.
ployed are paid at the rate of fifteen
cents an hour. 1t will help greatly
toward doing away with these fires if
everyone discovering fire will not only
do what he can toward putting it out
but will report it promptly to the first
selectman. The state forester has fol
distribution cloth notices warning
against forest fires. These may be had
free upon application to him. He would
be glad of any information about forest
fires occurring in the state at any time

6radstreet's Weekly Vermont
Trade Report

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
show unevenness generally although
there is cheerful tone. Better reports
have come in from granite manufacture
ers, in monumental line, during the
past week, than for some time. The in.
crease in volume has not been large but
shows some progress in forward direc-
ton. Money, however, is tight, but col
iections will improve in that line, it is
reported, when returns come in from
Memorial Day work. Several granite
firms are preparing to enlarge plants
and facilities. Woodworking shops re-
port considerable business ahead al
though demand for boxes and shocks is
quiet. Wholesale dealers in building
supplies report active market. Lumber
trade is fairly active. Weather condi-
tions are more or less unfavorable for
seasonable trade and season two weeks
late. Lateness of season and high
water has delayed work of farmers who
have been unable to do any work with
planting on lowlying districts. 1t is
noticeable however, that the farmer is
preparing to cultivate more tiIlage land,
principal crop being corn. Failure re-
ports for the week include one bank
ruptcy.
Burlington architects and builders re-
port more activity is noticeable this year
in building lines, principally by sum
mer house people, than there has been
for sometime. Manufacturing indus
tries are we'll supplied with orders
generally.
Reports from Rutland reflect labor
fairly we'll employed but retail trade af-
,fected by unreasonable weather.

People who point guns at Others
with hostile intent-and who &C
tually fire the guns and MAIN and
kill for that matter-need have
little fear of the law as now adj
ministered, but a higher power
seems to have effectively passed
on the cases Of some Of them re-
Gently mentioned. Il was men,
toned in the news columns Of
The LANDMARK a few days ago
that in New York State a man
who chased another to kill him
dropped dead just as he raised
the gun and fired, the pursued
escaping harmless. In Virginia a
few days ago two young men, Of
prominent family Of course,
tried to shoot a tiird party with
whom they had started a row.
and killed each other instead. In
Cleveland county, this State, last
week, man who pointed gun
at an automobile party, prcsum-
ably for the purpose Of firing on
them, dropped dead before he
could FIRE. This last may seem
a harsh judgment, for while IT
was apparently unwarranted in
this particular case, there are
times when automobile drivers
give sufficient provocation TO at
least tempt one to point a gun
and fire il, too. But altogether
the cases mentioned should be a
warning to those disposed to take
human life. that while they may
escape the law with little ineon-
venience they cannot escape Him
who hath the power Of life and
death.-Statesville Landmark.
