Help came from an unexpected quar-.

GRASS FIRES IN
PARADISE VALLEY

1t is not often that fires sweep
over the ranches and pasture land
Of this state, yet Paradis valley
had such fire last Saturday and a
number of ranches in that prosper
Gus community were in grave
danger from the flames. The fire
started in the dry grass on the
ranch owned by the William Stock
estate and it took the combined
efforts of at least sixty men to get
the fire under control. In fact, all
the neighbors Of that section of
the valley turned out to combat
the flames, which rapidly spread
over two miles of territory, de-
stroying the dry feed that was re-
served for pasture. The men
fought the flames four hours and
luckily none of the other ranches
caught fire, as there was stiff
breeze blowing at the time and
the damage would have been very
great. 1t Is not known how the
fire started.-Humboldt Star.

EARLY
Easter Believed To Forecast
An EARLY Spring

A rather interesting train of
though is suggested by the fact that
Easter will come unusually early this
year March 27, which, to the
minds of some people, predicts an
early spring.
The earliest date upon which Eas-
ter may fall is March 22, but in pc
riod of over 200 years the condi-
tions brought it upon that day but
once, in 1918. The dates have been
calculated from 1856 to 2013, both
inclusive, being twelve cycles of the
moon. Only four times in that ex-
tended period has Easter come as
early as March 23. 1t may come as
late as April rs, as it did, in 1886.
but 1t will not again strike that date
until 1943. In 1871 is occurred upon
April "a, but it will be the year OF
grace 2O11 before it is again as late.
The next early Easter will be 1918.
when it will fall upon March 23.
Whether the prompt waxing of the
moon after the sun has crossed che
vernal equinox had any bearing upon
spring weather is problematical, but
there are those who believe weather
conditions are more or less dependent
upon lunar phases, and shape their
seasons prediction accordingly. And
they may be equally reliable with
the ground hogs shadow and the
breast bone of the goose.
The day for Easter is the result OF
an astronomical calculation. 1t falls
upon the first Sunday following the
first full moon after the vernal equi'
nox. The sun crosses the spring equi--
noctial line on March 81. If thai
DAY should be Saturday and the
moon reach the full that night, the
next day, March %, would be Eas
ter. This concurrence of events, as
stated, had been recorded but once
in a calculated period covering be
yond two hundred years.-St. Pau
