A crew Of SO convi..s have been
secured through the efforts Of the
Park-to-Fark Highway Association

build the road on the east side OF
Flathead lake. Warden Conley and
Albert j. Galen, chairman of the

first Of the week and report every
thi..g favorable.
The crew OF prisoners will arrive.
in time to start work on May /. ac-
cording to Mr.. Conley. They are
now employed in Sanders county
where they have built about 40
miles of road at an expense Of $11,-
900 to that county. Seven miles OF
this was built through solid rock.
The crew will contain about so
men, OF which part Of them will be
expert concrete, powder. rock men
and blacksmiths. The guards viii
be expert rodmen, and they will be
the superintendents of the work. The
expense to this county will be IS
cents perday for each man. Of which
one-half CT this amount is paid by
citizens who have pledged themselves
for one-half of the expense, which
will be in the neighborhood Of $13,-
600. The work will be completed
In about six months If everything

The work of clearing up the Great

crossing nicely under the direction
Of Mayor Mayfield, and in short
time complete transformation will
be worked In this strip Of ground
which has always given our city

the people from carelessly throwing
matches or cigars, but can prevent
the accumulation of combustiDle ma
terials If We will.
In the cleaning up of premises, the
attic should not be forgotten. In the
dust and spider webs accumulate and
all sorts of inflammable stuff Is stor-
ed away. Attics are too often with
out ventilation. Thus. when the
fierce summer heat beats down upon
the roof the attic becomes a verita-
Bile furnace and spontaneous COM
bustion occurs in the rubbish. dust,
oily rags, highly vanished pieces OF
furniture, etc.
Spring is the planting season and
caution as to the handling and stor-
ing OF rags used in wiping vanished
or oily surface or .wiping paint from
the painters HANDS is timely. The
only safe place for such greasy rags
Is in the stove. II kept for any
length Of time to be used again
they should be stored in substan-
tial. covered receptacle.
Many fires are started each year
by the careless burning of rubbish
accumulated in yards and alleys dur
ing the winter. The burning Of this
rubbish is too often left to the chill
dren. which annually not only costs
a large number OF hives and serious
injury, but results in the total des-
truction of many thousands dollars
Of property.
The people of Montana are begin
ming to take active interest in the
idea of prevention of fire waste and
there is no greater opportunity for
them to do effective work along
this line than in thoroughly. cleaning
their premises, both inside and ont
and the proper handling of the re
fuse acenmulating therefrom.
City ana town authorities and board
Of health are requested to cooper
ate with the Montana state fire mar
shal's department in reducing the
annual loss caused by the careless
handling Of refuse at this season OF
the year.

Apropos to the popular demand
for a general cleaning up OF all cities
OF the state the state fire marshal
has issued the following bulletin
OF warning:
At this season nf the year nature
is about to put on her most beautiful
gara. The people generally realize
the necessity OF pntting their prem
ises in order. The figures furnished
by the fire statistics of 1911 en-
phat1cally indicate the necessity of
cleaning up. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollaw would not make
good the fire losses in Montana in
1911 caused by carelessness in CON
nection with the annual cleanup.
: This cleaning should extend from
cellar To garret. from house to out-
buildings. alleys and yards. A fly
ing spark lodging. a lighted match
or a live cigar or cigarette stub
thrown carelessly into the rubbish il
or outside Of buildings has caused
many disastrous fires. The chore
boy may caEelessly throw a match OF
cigar or cigarette stub into the rub
bish surrounding barns or IN barns;
the clerk may throw either into the
rubbish Of the basement Of business
