1t may be a suit restraining the

the payment of any license fee will

In this case three actions will prob

SIGNAL TOWER FOR RANGERS
Wisconsin First of Western States
to Adopt This Means of Prevent
ing Spread of Forest FIRES.

Wisconsin will be the
first of western states to use signal
towers as an aid TO prevention Of
forest fires. States Forester E. M.
GriGiths, upon his return from a trip
to northern Wisconsin, made known
plans for the immediate erection of
six steel towers, similar to windmills,
at as many high points of land in
the state forest reserves in Villas and
adjoining counties.
A platform at the top OF the tow
ers will be enclosed with a string of
wires stretched at right angles to
form squares, each wire to be num-
bered. During dry periods forest
rangers will be stationed in the tow
ers to search the landscape for TWEEN
ty miles around for smoke from for
est fires. When smoke is discovered,
the watcher will denote its position
with respect to the crossing of two
of the wires in bis lookout, and a
map at hand will tell him in mo-
ment the corresponding position of
the smoke as to town and range num-
bers. A telephone will be installed
in the tower, and the watcher will
be enabled to call up his associate
rangers nearest TO the fire, who will
take steps to extinguish the fire
