PRAIRIE FIRES
The Law Against Setting Prairie
Fires Should be Strictly En-
forced Here.
tBy S. B. Palmer

y
The season for prairie fires is at
hand. The law is very strict on
firing the prairie, and no doubt any
enc guilty Of such conduct can look
for no leniency from the law, as
there has been too much damage
done IN the vicinity Of Cultertson
to overlook anyone hereafter, be /,
by accident or otherwise.
Following are a few "don'ts"
which will save many mistakes and
avoid many fires.
Don't throw ashes out doors to
blow around even though you know
them to have no Goals as they may
GO off like the gun that is not
loaded.
Don't build fires in your prairie
homes on very windy days when
the surroundings are dry as two
oil our most DISASTROUS fires were
caused IN Dawson and Valley
counties the two years by
chImneys setting the country afire
leaving the owners minus good
h, iscs and contents. Another fire
WIS set by sparks from stove
pipe being carried about six rods
and firing the prairie on a windy
day.
Don't throw lighted or unlighted
matches onto the prairie. Light
ed matches may appear to be put
out but in many instances they are
not. The writer discovered a fire
close alter he had driven past a
certain point. The man that was
riding with him was smoking q
cigarette and they traced the star
OF the fire and found the stump o.
cigarett. When accused OF throw
ing It down the man sad a cigarette
could not set fire; that he ha,
tired several times TO set fires will
them but he could not. Don
fool yourself.
Another don't; many fires have
been set in trying to protect build
ings and stacks by burning fir
guards, particularly on sllghtl
windy days. Even though piowe'
to burn around the fire jumps an,
gets beyond control.
Don't set rubbish, brush, straw
or any combustable material afr
at this dry season OF the year
though you may think il is in
a harmless place, as some OF tn
most harmful fires have beef
caused by persons thinking the,
were perfectly safe.
The writer caused himself mncl
damage one dry fall in the cas-
and nearly burned his entire prop
erty by trying, on calm day. Il
