LOSS FROM FOREST

Denver. Dec 27.-In this district
including Colorado. Southeru and
Eastern Wyoming, South Dakota.
Kansas and Nebraska. 23c rres were
extins",shed within the national for
ests during the last fire season. with
loss to timber OF only k-.s0O.
Any one of these fires, Ii II had
been allowed to run unchecked and
burn itself out, which is Usually the
case on tracts where there is no
patrol, would have caused a loss
many times the value OF he timber
burned. Private timbcrlsnd own
ers, particularly those In the far
northwest, as well as Uncle Sam on
the national forests, have alike prov
en- this season that the patroi is the
one sure means of combining forest
fires. which foresters say are the
worst enemy of the forest
The estimated value of timber
within the national forests OF the
district is S90.0O0.OOU The loss
from fire during the past season.
therefore, represents approximately
three one-thouandths of per cent
OF the total value. Railroads have
been the worst offender In the set
ting of fires, ninety-siX ont II the 233
being ascribed to them. Tairty-four
fires were set by campers md TWEEN
ty-two by lightning SawmilIs set
, five, and thirteen were caused by
the spreading of fires kfndled for
the purpose of clearing and and
burning brush. Only four are re-
ported to have been OF ncendiary
origin.
There are 23.359.1Sa acres of
national forest land within the dis
trict. Within this vas, territorv
there has been but one ire during
the year that gained enough head
way to become at all serions This
was the fire in the BLACK Hills in
South Dakota, which oecnrred in
october, and which was rasponsible
TOT about two-thirds of tho total loss
IN the district. Many of he other
nres would no doubt have been ser
ious II they had not tesn extin-
suished promptly ConsIdering the

CHURCH NOTICE.

Dear Brethren and Readers
We have decided to give one-half
time to our Camden church for the
next year. We have only been hav-
ing one Sunday in month, but our
church is growing, and now de-
mands two Sundays in a month.
We hope to have the sweet coop
GRAFTON with other denominations
and people who are not of our faith
as we have always had. We want
to invite one and all to attend our
services and to help us in the sal
walton of lost souls. Feel free to
come to the Baptist Church; our
doors are always open and hearty
invitation is breathed from every
memb Der.
Our services day this next year
will be the first Sunday and Sun
day night and the third Sunday
and Sunday night of each month.
o. A. UTLEY,
Pastor.

We are informed by number
of their friends that factional par
ty lines we're not drawn in the re-
cent contest in which HARDWOOD
and Rye beat Bond and Jerman,
candidates for Judge and Attorney
General, respectively, in an ADA
cent judicial district.
The Commercial Appeal does
not desire to be classed as a news
paper that seizes on every political
fight as indicative of the rising
fortunes of politician or the de-
clining fortunes of a political
cause, it is gratifying to know that
the best people, irrespective of
fractional politics, or of the admin
istration of Governor Patterson,
or friends of the former Senator
Carmack, or of the State Wide
issue, voted for Messrs. Harwood
and Rye.
The time has come in Tennessee
when candidates for Judges and
Attorneys-G General should be elect
ed upon some other issue than that
of personal or political hatred, re.
gardless of their fitness for the
position for which they aspire

G. P. SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Sunday school was organized at
the G. 2. Church Sunday forenoon
with thirty members. F. E. Nc
Elyea was elected superintendent,
the election of officers and teachers
being for remainder of the present
year. G.. B. Holiday was elected
assistant superintendent; Mrs. j.
FL. Whitfield, secretary and treas,
urer; Miss Hazel McAuley, organ
list; Miss Zula McElyea, assistant;
DR.. Ennis NJ. McAuley, director of
music; Blount McElyea, janitor.
G.. r. Holiday was elected teacher
of the senior class; Miss Zula Nc
Elyea, junior class, and Mrs. Dora
McAuIey, infant class. The offer
ing amounted to 1912.
The chapel will be repapered,
new steps provided, the choir will
be strengthened and developed,
and united efforts put forth to
make the Sunday school an attrac-
tive aud impressive service. A
warm welcome will be extended to
those desiring to attend, and trav-
cling men and strangers will re-
ceive a welcome.
The time has been when the G.
p. Church was strong factor in
Christian influence and religious
work in our midst; a fourishing
Sunday school existed, together
with valiant band of Christian
Endeavor. The attempt now being
put forth to revive some of these
features is worthy of united effort
in a cause in which all Christians
of the church can join hands to
make it success.
