LIVELY ROW STARTED
Spirit of insurgency Pervades Ranks
of the Colonial Danes.

Washington, March 1S.-Insurgency
is not confined to Congress. The spirit
has invaded the ranks of the National
Society of Colonial Danes of America,
and a lively fight is promised at the
national convention, which begins here
April o.
According to the constitution of the
body each of the original colonial
states and the District of Columbia
can send five deleg2 ties, while the twen-
ty-two non-colonial states can send
only one each. Only the women from
the colonial states can vote on consti-
tutional questions, and a member from
southern state has prepared reso-
luton to prevent the constitution from
being changed.
The insurgents have hoisted the flag
of mo taxation without representa-
ton" and will oppose the colonial or
ganization in the convention.

SALOON A BAD BARGAIN
Purchaser Asserts Misrepresentation
Induced Him to Pay Price.

Tony Yukiche was badly fooled by
John Lamont when he purchased La
mont's saloon at 169 West South Tenn
pie street, and he is now seeking re-
course in the courts, through an ac-
ton filed in the district court yester-
day. Yukiche says that on FEBRUARY
%, 1910, he paid $475 to Lamont for the
saloon, with a balance sue of $3.50,
believing all the time that there was
stock of liquors and cigars worth 81 200,
as claimed by Lamont, and that the
liquor license was paid up TO the end
of the year. Yukiche says he found
the stock is not worth more S4G0, and
that the liquor license merely runs
through March.
In addition, he says, Lamont has
been around and demanded that he
pay the balance of 1926. Yukiche says
he has also heard that Lamont is about
TO sell the saloon to other parties. He
asks that an order be issued restrain
ing Lamont from selling the place over
his head and restraining Lamont or his
agents from interfering with the bust
ness. Besides this, he wants $500 dam
ages for the fraud which he says was
worked against him.

PLAYGROUND SITE
IN PARKS CENTER
Commissioners Decide That
Two and a Half Acres Will
Be Sufficient.

Two and half acres OF land in the
center of Pioneer park will be asked
for by the board of park commission
ers to be converted into a playground
for the children, as a result of visit
OF the board yesterday afternoon 70 the
park on the west side. The park COW
ers ten acres between Third and
Fourth South street and Second West
and Third West streets, and the inten-
ton of the park board is 10 have the
center of the block used for a play
ground for the Riddles"
All of the park board Members took
in the trip yesterday, with City En-
sineer George f. McGonagie. and will
later submit an estimate to the coun-
Gil of the cost of the clearing of this
space and its equipping for a play
ground. The center of the block is
taken for the reason that it was
thought unwise to locate the play
ground on any side of the park.
The intention is 10 make a beauty
spot to catch the eye of the pass9n-
gers on Rio Grande trains and of tour
lists who intend stopping in Salt Lake.
All of the details have not yet been
worked out, but it is believed a low
fence will be placed around the boun-
dairy of the playground. around which
will be planted shrubbery, to partially
conceal the playground and at the
same time lend to the beauty of the
park.
Their will be neither baseball nor
football allowed in the playground,
and it will be reserved strictly for the
little children and their games.
Bids for concessions at Liberty park
for the summer were opened, but he
board took no action and adjourned to
meet next Wednesday, when this mat
ter will be considered.
The board decided to accept the pro-
posal OF H. S. Margetts and W. NJ.
Harmon for a 2OO-foot gravel DIT near
Warm Springs. The stakes will be set
by the city engineer and the digging
is to be done under the supervision Of

FOREST FIRES FOR
YEAR JUST CLOSED
Number Increased Over 1903,
But the Damage Done
Was Far Less.

Fire played less havoc IN the wood
lands of the national forest states last
year than it did in 1908. although the
number of fires was 41O greater The
department of agriculture has just
completed the statistics. The protec-
tive value of the work of the depart
ment is shown in that Cd almost 80
per cent of the fires were extinguished
before as much as five acres had been
damaged; CD less than one and one
half acres to the square mile of ma
tfonal forest land was burned over; CD
and the amount of damage done to the
burned over area averages but $1.26 to
the acre.
Record of the Year.
For the twelve-month ended Deem
Der 81 last there were 3,1S3 fires on
the forests, 1,1S6 caused by lOcOmO-
tives, 431 by campers, 294 by lightning,
Isl by brush burning, 81 by incendia-
rieS, SO by sawmills and donkey en-
gines, 1913 by miscellaneous and 1858
by unknown agencies. The area burned
over was in round figures 100000 acres,
of which about $1,000 were private
lands in national forests, as against
some 100000 in 1908. Some 10000, 900
board feet of timber was consumed, of
which 33,0O0,0O0 feet was privately
owned. as against 250,0O0.000 in the pre-
vious year. The loss in value of tim
Der destroyed was less than $4,000 of
which close to $4,000 was privately
owned. The loss of the year before
was about $3.50 900. Damage done to re-
production and forage shows a re-
markable decrease, less than $1,000
being the record for 1909, and over
100000 that for 1908.
Idaho Leads.
The largest number of fires occurred
in the state of Idaho-99; but the great
increase over 1908 in that state-name-
ly, 573-is entirely attributable to fires
in the Occur d'Alene, which were ex-
tinguished without material damage.
Locomotive sparks were accountable
for Gil of the blazes in this forest
last year. The explanation of the in
crease in the total for all forests is
TO be found in this Occur d'Alene in
crease.
The report of the forester for 1909
said of the fire record of 1908: THAT
year was one of prolonged drought
during the summer and fall, and of
disastrous forest fires throughout the
country The national forests suffered
relatively little. About 232-
191. 900 board feet of timber, or O.Oe
per cent of the stand, was destroyed.
A total of 2,72S fires was re-
ported, of which 2,OS9 were small fires
confined as a rule to an area of five
acres or less. The cost of fire fight
ing, exclusive of the salaries of forest
officers. was $732S3.33. This sum, add
