NATIONAL FORESTS
 NATIONAL PLAYGROUND
Come and Have Fun With Us---YOu Can Stay for Nothing but We
 Have to Pay.

Washington, D. C., August 20. Before the years outing season is over nearly half a million per sons will have sought recreation and health in the national forests of the United States. According to the record of the U. $. depart ment of agriculture, the total last year was, in close figures, 4o6,775. With the finest mountain scenery and much of the best fishing and big-game hunting in the United States, the national forests, made more and more accessible each year through protection and de- velopment by the government, are fast becoming great national play grounds for the people.
 The use of forests for recreation is as yet in its beginning, but is growing steadily and rapidly-in some of the forests at the rate of hundred per cent per annum. The day seems not far distant when a million persons will an nually visit them.
 The records show that the sea- sona use of the forests runs from two months in a Colorado forest, such as the Routt, to I2 months in an Alaskan, such as the Ton gass. But the uses differ. In Colorado the 2,ooo visitors enter ed the forest to fish, to camp, to climb, and to drink the medicinal waters; in Alaska the 1000 almost solely to hunt and fish. The 2I 1000 persons who went into the Coconino forest, Arizona, during nine months, went to camp or to enjoy the scenery. During four months 5o,ooo persons visited the Angeles, California. The most popular of the forests is the Pike, containing the famous peak of that name. The various attractions within its limits, including the

scenic railway, drew 100, 1000 tour ists and others. By principal states the national forest visitors numbered 23,ooo in Arizona, Io3,- 900 in California, I4o,oo in Col orado, 10000 in Montana, 10, ,ooo in New Mexico, 33,ooo in Oregon, 22, 900 in Idaho, I6,ooo in Utah, and I2,o 1000 in Washington.
 Of the natural wonders and land marks of interest in the national forests several have been set apart as national monuments, among them Cinder Cone, a great lava basin in California; the Gila Cliff Dwellings, extensive remains of prehistoric race in New Mexico; the unsurpassed Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in Arizona; Jewel Cave, South Dakota; Lassen Peak, the terminus of a long line of ex- tinct volcanoes in the Cascades; the Pinnacles, a collection of re- markable jagged peaks in Califor- mia; and the Tonto, a group of prehistoric ruins in the Tonto for est in Arizona. The Big Trees, Glacier Park, the Petrified Forest, the Oregon Caves, and numerous other phenomena serve to attract other hosts of visitors.
 The sportsman finds his para disc in the national forests. In many of them big game abounds. The rangers and the guards, be- sides the service they perform against the spread of fire, often point out the best site for the camper and the easiest route. A record of e,2I8 miles of trail cut, ,236 miles of road laid out, and 4,S5I miles of telephone line strung tells what the government has done in the way of pushing the conveniences of civilization into the primeval forest. The day of the wilderness of the savage and the pioneer is swiftly passing 1; the day of the national forests as productive resources and as na- tional parks approaches. The re- port of last years administration by the U. s. department of agri- culture evidences the rapidity of the transformation.

But everything considered, there is
without doubt, a great lot of room for
improvement in the pressure and in
stead of fighting blaze with a
stream not much greater than that
which comes from an ordinary garden
hose, the work of the firemen should
be facilitate with a pressure that will

Superintendent Makes Statement.


Superintendent w. o. School of the
Keokuk Water Works Company, stat
ed this morning to reporter that the
test imposed last night OH the pump
ing station over which he has super
vision, was in every way an unfair
one For over a week past, repairs
have been made on the small Holly
pump which is used for domestic"
service. New cylinders have been cast
and boring in the parts for their fit
ting have been made and various other
parts of the pump that is used daily,
are at the present time undergoing re-
pairs.
When the fictitious alarm was
turned in last evening for Sixteenth
and Ridge streets, the engineer and
fireman at the pumping station pre-
sumed on having more time than the
two and one half minutes allowed
them by the firemen to get up fire
pressure -120 pounds.
1t was ten minutes before eighty
pounds was reached on the dial in
the city office and at the pumping sta
ton and water works office aud not
until after the water had been turned
off at a signal from Chief Anderson,
did the guage reach the 100 pound
mark, fully a half hour after.
For a short time, the small Holly
pump at the pumping station was car
rying the load until the engineer was
put wise to the fact that a march had
been stolen on him. Then the large
Gaskill engine which is used for pres
sure was put into use A phone mes

First Drowning Of Year.

The drowning of Arthur Farnsworth
shortly after five o'clock last evening,
was the first to happen in this local
ity this year. The drowned man was
unable to swim and probably stepped
into deep hole. There is a sand
bar which runs out into the river at
the point above the bridge where the
men were swimming and off of this
the water is deep. The other men
with Farnsworth think probably he
may have been taken with a cramp
and sank.

FIRE PRESSURE
BELOW RECRUITMENT
Demonstration Of Where the Water
Works Company Falls Short,
Given Last Night on
Main Street.
WAS q W. ENGINEER WATER PEOPLE CLAIMS
Alarm Was Turned in for Sixteenth
and Ridge and Time Limit
Was Given Pump House
to Get Up Pressure.

Main street looked like the city of
Venice last night, with half-dozen
fountains of youth bubbling UP in the
middle of that thorougsfare and it
was with wonder and curiosity coming
ling with each other, that homegoers
stopped to watch the performance Of
the men Of the fire department hold
ing the long lines of hose with the
nozzles pointed heavenward.
1t was a stunt we'll pulled off
surprise party on the waterworks COM
pany of the city and demonstration
in which the poor pressure which is
furnished the city by the pumping sta
ton, was shown to advantage.
Word had been passed around
among the f1remen a half-hour previ-
Gus to the pressure test" that all
were to meet at the Rolla engine
house at Tenth and Main at quarter
past six. The firemen met and re-
ceived orders from their chief. Six
lines of hose were laid, each line FIVE
hundred feet in length and the entire
comprising an outlay of three thou
sand feet of the heavily knit covered
rubber used in fighting fire.
At 6:27 Chief Anderson stepped into
the Alton livery stable at Ninth street
The head of the fire department pre-
varicated when he told the central
girl there was fire at Sixteenth and
Ridge streets. But all is fair in fire
and pressure tests. After the alarm
was turned in the mayor, chief and
three or four others stood with their
time pieces in their hands. Just two
and half minutes later Chief Ander-
son signaled the men on the fire hy-
drants and the water was turned on.
A muddy stream that did not throw
over fifteen feet high, came forth from
the nozzles as two pipemen on each
held the lines. Five minutes passed
and ten. and then the water began to
throw higher but not at any time did
the one inch nozzles throw stream
over seventy feet. The inch-and-an-
eighth MOBILES threw stream posi-
bly, forty or fifty feet high.
What the Ordinance Says.
The city ordinance says that the fire
pressure should be at such point
that six lines of hose, each five hun.
dred feet in length, with one inch noz-
z'es, should throw stream of water,
one hundred feet high, any place in
the city on level with Main street.
At the recent Keokuk Box COM
pany's fire where the streams from
two lines of hose would not throw
over a twenty foot roof, demonstrated
the poorness of water pressure. The
box plant is not on as high level as
Main street is and down grade is
had all the way, which should have
meant excellent water service, which
was not given.
Improvements Needed There.

In the party with Farnsworth, the
unfortunate man, were Harry O'Con-

Harvey of the crew who ran daily on
the freight run between this city and
the division point, with the drowned
engineer.
The four had gone across the river
at four o'clock in boat owned by
local wharf men who hire out
these craft. The four railroad men
had been in swimming for possibly
fifteen minutes when Farnsworth who
was apart from the other swimmers,
was heard to make an outcry and went
down and did not rise again. The
other three men ran to the place
where their companion had gone down
and after search of several moments
one grab hook caught in the union suit
which the engineer had left on when
he went in swimming.
To try to resusitate Farnsworth
would have been useless and the body
was towed to the Iowa shore where
it was taken in charge by the Grim
