=. The News of Somerset's Busy Towns u:

happens that a tall dry stub attracts
the lightning which follows down the
trunk to the roots where tue small
fire started, may shoulder for a day
or two, until breeze fans 1t in.o
flames that catches on the dry weeds
and moss; only little blaze, but an
element of great danger; it creeos
along setting fire to everything t
comes across and reaching a dead
tree top left by the lumbermen with
a roar and a snarl the huge top is a
mass of leaping flames with much
smoke rising and floating over the
trees Some mountain lookout watch
ing with his glass sees the smoke
and at once telephones to the near
est fire warden, giving the location
as near as he can. The fire warden
gets men as soon as possible and II
they arrive before the fire has spread
too far. the men are able to dig
trenches with mattocks, an nipple
ment resembling a hoe and an axe
combined, and the fire goes no fur
Their. But sometimes it is impossible
to get men enough. quickly enough to
these distant forest places and The
fire spreads for miles.
In the case of the big Enchanted
fire no men could be obtained on the
Fourth as they were busy celebrating.
so the fire got two days start and
had run two miles or more through
an old cutting before the men arrived.
One mode of fighting fire is to get
ahead of the fire and cut path
through the woods across the front of
the advancing flames the brush and
tops being thrown toward the fire
and the dirt and moss being dug
away to form path where there will
be nothing to burn. If the wind Is
blowing hard it is useless to get in
front of the fire for nothing can stop
it; but the men work along the sides
keeping 1t in as narrow space as pos
sible. Small fires are put out by dig
cling around them and throwing dirt
upon the flames, shovel full OF dirt
having as much extinguishing power
as a barrel of water
Sometimes the wind carries sparks
over the heads of the sweating
smoke blinded fire fighters and new
confiragration is begun and men are
in danger of being surrounded and
have to run to save their lives.
Nearly a thousand men have bee
working on the forest fires the past
two weeks and the sweltering heat
has made ltheir labors extremely ex-
hausting. The problem of supplying
food and shelter for so large an army
of men so far from any settlement
is a big one.
Monday nights rain proved quite
check to the fires so that men can get
on to the burned area and extinguish
the smouldering places which are in
danger of causing another outbreak.
Fire wardens F. II. Colby of Bling
ham, Frank Sterling of Caratunk, Al
bert McDaniels Of Jackman, have
worked day and night to provide for
the men and to see that all was being
done to check the spread of the fire.

Relieved of Burden.
Washington. ID. c.,
October 3, 1911.

October 3, 1911.
Settlers on National Forests
under the Act of June IL, 1906,
will no longer have to pay for a
survey, as they havei,had to in
the past on unsurveyed lands,
when the claim goes to patent.
This relieves many settlers un-
der the act, commonly known
as the Forest Homestead Law,
from a burdensome expense.
Relief from this burden has
been brought about by an agree
ment between the Secretary Of
the Interior and the Secretary
of Agriculture, whereby surveys
made by employees of the Forest
Service will be Under the super
vison of the Surveyor General
so that they can be accepted by
the General Land Office as
final.
Hitherto it has been necessary
to make two surveys. Under
the terms of the Forest Home
stead Law, National Forest Land
can not be opened to settlemnt
unless the Secretary Of Agri-
culture has recommended to the
Secretary Of the Interior that it
be listed for settlement; and
listing is not possible until a sur
vey has been made. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture has no
authority to list any land unless
an examination has shown that
the land is more suitable for
agriculture than for forest pur-
poses. So when land is applied
for, employees Of the Department
of Agriculture are sent to ascer-
tain it's character, and at the
same time make survey OF 1t by
meets and bounds if a survey is
necessary.
This survey, however, could
not be accepted by the Lard De

partment as a basis for patent,

partment as basis for patent,
because only surveys under the
supervision of the Surveyor
General can, under the law, be
accepted as a basis for passing
title. In consequence, under the
procedure provided for when
patent is sought to unsurveyed
lands, the settler on land within
a National Forest has had to pay
for a second survey. This has
been felt to be especially hard
because it has subjected settlers
on National Forests to an ex-
pense which settlers on surveyed
public lands do not have to bear.
Since it merely duplicated the
work of the first survey, there
seemed no reason why this first
survey might not answer both
for listing the land and for
patenting it.
The survey for listing, made
by Forest Officers, has always
been without expense to the
prospective homesteader. Under
the new arrangement the field
expenses Of the survey will con-
tinue to be paid by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, so that the
applicant will merely be called
on to meet the cost Of checking
up and plating the surveys by
the Surveyor General. This will
move one of the greatest object
ions to the working Of the Forest
Homestead Law. The officials of
both the Department of Agri-
culture and the Department of
the Interior are pleased that the
way has been found, through
cooperation in the surveys, to
simplify the procedure, cut out a
duplication of work, and lessen
the cost of settling upon agri-
cultural lands within National
Forests.

weeks was pastured cattle from
Kansas, and panhandle cattle. :
A good run is expected next
week, and possibly the following
week, particularly if it should
frost in native territory any tin
soon. Prime beef steers brought
S7.75 to $500, fair to good fed
steers $3.50 to $3.50, top grass
natives $40, bulk of native
grass steers $500 to 5000, Old
Mexico steers from Kansas and
the panhandle at $3.50 to $4. 40,
quarantine steers SO. 80 to $500.
Most Of the quarantine steers
were light weights, with a fair
end of rough heavy steers, all
lacking finish. Panhandle cows
sold at SO. so to $4,25, some fancy
heifers from Texas at $500,
prime fed heifers $500. Calves
are cheaper, top veals now 81. 25,
heavy calves around $500. Very
few Western cattle, from Colora-
do, have been here-this week, a
few Eastern Colorado feeders at
$4.85, but nothing to test values.
Best native feeders brought
up to $500, fancy stockers SIS. so,
but a big percentage of these
classes sold fifty cents to one
dollar under these figures. Thirty
cars Of 1850 to 100 plain feeders
were bought for an Indiana
distillery this week, around
$3.50.
Sheep received this week
81, 100, last week $4,000, same
week last year "A, 400. Big runs
at the Northern markets injected
some weakness into the situation
first Of the week. but the un-
dertone of strength apparent at
the finish last week always re-
manned within reach, and prices
last two days have been strong
er. Country demand for feeding
stock is strong, and prices are a
little higher. Most of the feed
ing lambs have sold at $500 t.
50. 10, a few at S5.25 to SIS. 80,
feeding yearlings at $4.4O. Fat
lambs today are worth $6.10,
for best, light yearlings up to
$500. wethers $4.25, ewes
$3.75.
