Heroes Who Fight Fire
"A True Story Told by Jacob Rus
(Elva Fay McSparran)

At the end of narrow lane in the
East side of New York, a building
under which reservoirs of naphtha
were honey-combed, was fire.
Where the fire was swirling and
burning around the building, the body
of a man was seen lying white and
deathly.
The panic stricken crowd said that he
was dead. They thought his suffering
had been short. As captain Ahearn
looked at the body. he saw the watch
chain on his vest raise and fall as he
breathed. "He is not dead,' he ssid,
elm going to get him out" As he
crept down the fiery lane, he did not
think of the danger, that threatened
all it the fire was not Immediately put
out.
The naphtha might explode at any
moment with the fire raging over it.
He thought only of the perishinp
man. The flames scorched him and
even blocked his way. He came out
alive with his man, but the man was
so badly hurt that he died in the hos
pital that day.
Ahearn was given the golden medal
for bravery and was made chief,
The next year he nearly lost his life
in the attempt to save child, who was
supposed to be penned uD in a burning
tenement house.
Chief Ahearn was first on the ground
his quarters being near by
In the hall he met a desperate man
crying for him to save his child.
He is in there" he cried, pointing to
back room.
The front room was black with smoke.
He made his way on hands and knees
to the room pointed out to him by the
man and there groped about in the bed,
and under it. But no child was to be
found, satisfied that the child had es-
capped he began to make his way
back.
The fire singed his face and the
smoke had grown so thick that breath.

the floor and throwing his coat over it,

Our Ferosts
(Fi0rence Wilma Lundell)

Herein the United States the forests
are rapidly disapearing either by
forests fires or by the AK of the wood.
cutter. The problem of forestry is
how to make use of the forests per-
manently. This has just awakened the
people to the need and value of the
forests. At first the department of
the interior had control of the forests.
The department of Agriculture now
supervises them.
SiIviculture is not known thoroughly
in our country. We need to get advice
from Europe. which well knows the
Science of trees. Gradually We will
learn the science. But it will take time
before the United States will be up
withthe foreign countries in silviculture
If We understand the lie of forests, we
can make it grow what we want. in
stead of whatever Nature rschooses to
have it grow.
In colonial days forests were very
troublesome to the settlers. They had
to be cleared away to make Eroom for
fields and villages; they hid the Indians
and wild beasts with which the Ameri-
can had to contend. That condition has
largely passed away.
Forests are destroyed in large
amounts by fires, windstorms insects
and tree diseases. In the West, light
eing has caused many forests fires.
One method of preventing forest
fires was practiced by the Indians. 1t
is that of light burning" 1t proved
benefit to the forests. If the light
burning theory were put into practice,
it might be benefit. This is q system
of burning out the underbl ush. The
old indian fires burned all the young
growth of timber in their paths and il
an immense amount of damage to
mature timber; it changed valuable
lumberlands into worthless bush slopes,
So this method may be objectional.
Before everything else the forests of
the future must be protected. We
must carefully protect and encourage
every bit OF young growth, so that in
the future, forests will be as dense and
valuable as possible.
"The best protection against great
destructive fires is in putting out little
fires at the start"
Through goodlaws properly enforced
many fires may be avoided. Careless
ness in the use of fires in clearing land,
in burning. brush, in leaving camp-fires.
in smoking, etc, may be largely
stopped.
The year 1910 was an unusual fire
year owing to the dry conditions.
There were five thousand, two hun
dred one fires in the National Forests.
of which three thousand. one hundred
and siXty-four covered from less than
one acre to not over five acres.
Mr.. Graves, says IA fire is never out
until the last spark is extinguished.
In America we still have extensive
forests and by judicious use we may
save them, and even increase the area
which they cover.

These schools are maintaining under
the Alaska division Of the United States
Bureau Of Education at Washington,
District Of COLUMBIA They are dis
tinctly seperate from the schools
maintained for the white children, the
latter being in charge Of the local
authorities.
About one hundred American teach
ers are scattered here and there
through out the country each teacher
in the center new civilization, for
the Alaskan natives are very m
xious to learn and 80 receive
with grert pleasure. They show great
affection for the white teacher. A
young man H. r. Thorton. A teach
er of Cape Prince of Wales was mur-
dered by young boy who had
been expelled by Thorton. As soon
as the natives heard of this, the mur-
derer was run down and executed.
The teachers of many of these
schools are young women who have
had a college education. There are
always large number Of applications
received at the United States Bureau
of Educstation. but only those whom
they think possess unusual ability and
can endure the hardships are chosen.
The education of the natives began
about 25 years ago, but the separation
of the schools and their placing on a
basis by themselves took place but a
few years ago.
When the first school was opened at
Cape Prince of Wales, crowds of
Eskimos came, until the building was
crowded to suffocation. The teachers
was most anxious to make the most
of his opportunity and so arrangements
was made for morning and afternoon
session. Careful watch had to be
to prevent the pupils who
had attended in the morning from get
ting in the afternoon period.
The United States General Agent
of Education has done great deal in
the developing of the Eskimos. One
hundred thousand dollars has
been spent by the United States for
the building of new schools. Most of
of the lumber has been shipped from
Seattle Washington, for the purpose of
the building of these schools.
The climate of Alaska is very cold.
The temperature of the region border
ing the Artic Ocean and the Bering
Strait in winter averages forty degrees
below zero. while the region bordering
the Yukon is seventy degrees below
zero.
The Eskimos are verys hearty race
of people, and can endure the cold very
well. They are also sharp and intelli-
gent traders as shown in some of the
bargains they make.
Alaska had no schools to speak of
before the United States bought it in
1867 from Russia for seven million two
hundred Thousand dollars. The People
couidnot talk our language and the first
teachers who went there were forced
to endure untold hardships, and suffer-
ed great deal from the cold.
Alaska is now coming to the front in
industries as well as education. Ithas
paid for itself many times over in
various ways. Large quantities of gold,
silver. and coal are produced as
we'll as furs and the products from the
large fisheries.

The Scout law has twelve planks,
and if a boy obeys them, he will be
an excellent Scout. The points are;
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful
friendly, courteous, kind, obedient,
cheerful, thrifty, brave and reservent.
Mr.. Earnest Thompson Seton is at
the head Of the Boy Scouts now. The
National Council holds ITS meeting
every year and elects officers.
A Scout must be over twelve years
old. He is urged to gather seven boys
making 8 with myself, he then must
give young man over twenty. one
years old to be Scoutmaster.
A boy to become a tenderfoot must
pass such simple requirements as the
Scout oath, law, sign and salute and
know how to tie four different kinds of
knots. Ga.
To become a second class
Scout he must be IN the
tenderfoot class one mouth, be
able to track half mile in 25 minutes,
and run mile in twelve plinutes
at Scout pace. He must be able to
cook in the open, use the knife and
hatchet and know the sixteen principal
point Of the compass and at least have
earned and deposited one dollar in the
public Bank.
To become first class Scout the re-
quirements are more arduous. He
must be equal to fifty yard swim and
fourteen mile hike. After boy is a
first class Scout, he is then in line for
further Proficiency.
A Boy Scout organization would be a
good thing for the people of Julesburg
and vicinity, as well as for the boys.
Some intelligent man ought to take it
in hand and can carry it through as it
would keep the boys out of idleness.

FOUND DEAD IN
 THE PUERCO

A. E. Johnson a freight con ductor on the first district, was found dead in the Puerco Wed nesday morning. Mr. Johnson came of his run about 10 o'clock Tuesday night and was making his way home on the north side of the Puerco. As the night was dark, he lost his way and fell over the tmbankment a short distance above the foot bridge. In is believed that he made some effort to rescue himself from his plight but was so dazed from the fall that he was unable to do so. His body was found in the water which indicates that he was drowned rather than that he met death directly from the fall. The verdict of the coroners jury was accidental death.
 Mr. Johnson was a highly valued and respected employe of the Santa Fe and his tragic death awakens the sympathy ot the community. His body was prepared for burial and shipped to Indianapolis accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Merrill.-Gal- lup Republican.

cases moral suasion may pro. duce healthier condition of life. Regulation of thls phase of the social evil is infinitely preferable to a policy which can only re- suit in spreading prostitution broadcast over the entire city.
 "The men who are back of the present movement in Denver have no conception whatever of the philosopIlic difference be- tween Catholicism and Protest onism in regard to the treatment of the unfortunate people who comprise the underworld of civil lization. Broadly stated. the Cathohc church realizes and knows that the heart of man cannot be changed by statute law. and, realizing tlIis, the Catholic church and her priests strive to bring about a better nent in the world by influencing the hearts of men through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
 "Protestanism, on the other hand, holds to the fallacious idea that statute law is sufficient to correct such evils as intempcr- auce, prostitution and the like. If such were the case, how easy 1t would be for the ministcral alliance of Denver - who boldly proclaim that they will endure no regulation of the social evil but will bring aboutits complete annihilation-to have rhe city council pass laws declaring the evils annihilated and then snug ly sit back in their studies au1 pat themselves OH tue back lIr having reformed the world.
 "When one recalls the history of the world in so far as prosti- tuition has plaped its part anl realizes the part of that man, not moman, has played in it all, it is difficult to have patience with the silly set of reformers who just now are infesting Deu- yer"

Denver, Sept. 24.-That the men back of the movement fol the abolition of the redlight dis trict in Denver, although profes- sing to be religious leaders, are bringing religion into contempt, and that 1t would De better to license the social evil than to give free rein to the men wh , would "reform" Denver, are two of the opinions held by the Rev Father Thomas H. Malone, one of the most earnest students ol sociological questions in the city.
 "It is difficult to have patience with the silly set of reformers now infesting Denver" declares Father Malone, who expresses his views as follows:
 "The agitation that is now going on in Denver for the anni- hilation of the so-called social evil will prove abortive as all such attempts have prdven in the past. The men who are back of th1s movement are, bringing religion into contempt in the minds of sensible people.
 ''If the alternative is presented to me to choose between the ideas of these men who foolishly imagine they can remove prosti tuition from the world and the bold proposition to license pros titution. 1 would unhesitatingly choose the latter.
 "When body of clergymen, or any other body of men, as- sume that the evils of the world can be corrected by legislation, they write themselves down as a silly lot. 4
 You cannot make men stop drinking by law, even if such a thing were morally right, which IS not. But if men drink to ex. cess you can, by the use of mora persuasion, induce them to cor rect what III the individual case is an evil. You cannot stop pros titutian by law, but in some
