in the method of taking votes in the

approximately 50 hours. AS most Of the

Since 1884, 1000 lives have been lost in the forest
fires of Minnesota and the property is estimated
at SIS, 900 oO0 It is known that many of the fires
have been started by sparks from railway engines.
Campers and hunters in the woods have been care
less. and many fires have started because they
failed to put out the camp fires. By all means,
vsnger system should be put in force, and the raf-
way companies should stand a large share OF the
expenses. Something must be done to keep the
lres in check.
