A FOREST RANGER HERO.
Tragic incident Of the Forest Fires %
1910 In Idaho.

Tragic incident Of the Forest Fires %
1910 In Idaho.
Overton w. Price. vice president Of
the National Conservation association,
in his book 1.-THE Land We Live In"
tells this story OF heroic forest
ranger:
'.rhe summer Of 1910 by reason OF
great drought and unusually high
winds was the worst for forest fires
that the west has ever known. In
Montana. Idaho and Oregon the dan
ger was greatest.
ION the Occur d'Alene national for
est. In northern Idaho. Ranger Pulaski
had under him forty men, who after
many hours of hard work had got a
big fire practically under control. Sud.
denly the wind strengthened until 1t
blew gale. 1t Immediately became u
question of saving the lives Of the
men. The fire fighters were in a deep
far from any clearing.
"pulaski remembered that within q
mile of where they We're working there
was an abandoned mine shaft running
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He rushed his men to the shaft as
they passed through their camp to
catch up their blankets rs they ran.
The shaft reached Pulaski hurried his
men into 1T and. packed like sardines,
they filled 1t up. Pulaski placed him
self at the opening. across which he
stretched blanket.
within few minutes after the
men were in the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught,
and Pulaski jcrked 1t away and hung
up another. which caught In its turn.
The blanket caught again and again.
and each time Pulaski replaced it un.
til toward the last he held the blanket
across the opening with his bare
hands,
'"rhe shaft grew hotter and hotter.
and the smoke and fumes grew thick.
err and thicker until the mems suffer.
tngs We're almost beyond human en-
durance. They began to break for the
opening. Pulaski whose strength was
great. like his courage. for awhile
forced them back. Seeing that he
would soon be overpowered and that
his men would rush to their certain
DEATH he drew his revolver and said
that he would kill the first man who
broke away.
"In perhaps twenty minutes the
worst of the fire passed by. Five Of
the men in the shaft We're dead from
suffocation; the thirty-five others were
alive. Pulaski was blinded and scri-
ously burned upon the face and arms
1t was three months before his sight
was partly restored. Had not his hero.
Ism and presence Of mind been what
they were he would have lost all Of
his men instead Of five. That Is the
kind of men there are in the forest
service"

Third Letter to Our
Farmer Friends

Have you read any of the
letters appearing in the Mis-
souri, Valley Times? We know
that several people have, as our
matinees at the Palm theatre
are becoming one Of the import
ant shows of the week. We
made the suggestion, that you
use the theatre as a rest room
and we notice a good many are
taking advantage of it. We
also notice that a good many
farmers, send their children to
the Palm every Saturday after
noon, while they do their shop
ping, calling for them after the
show. As we have said in our
previous letters, the theatre is
opened at 200 every Saturday
afternoon and is left open until
six o'clock f3f the benefit of
those who are y aiting for some
one. The s'lnv is generally
over at five o'cIock, but the
theatre is open TO all until six
o'clock, WI IRE you can rest and
wait for tine to go nome. If
you enter the theatre too late
to see an entire show, tickets
will be given you for any show
at any later date.
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE PALM
The Palm theatre is one of
the best, if not tho hest venti-
lated theatres in Iowa. We
are everlastingly at it to keep
it sanitary and clean and keep
it free from the odor that is
generally about public place.
1t is wired to the underwriters
rules and the operating room is
lined with asbestos which
makes this theatre as fire-proof
as any other building. The
seats are all large and comfort
able, the aisles are wide and
there are four exits to the
building The room is heated
by steam, which will make it a
comfortable place in cold days
this winter. Come once and
you will make it a point to
come every Saturday afternoon.
Ten cents for adults and five
cents for children under
twelve. Children under five,
free.
Yours truly,
The Palm Management.

Weather Crop Bulletin
For the week ending Sept.

"a, 1Sll.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The third week in September
was abnormally cold, with an
excess of cloudiness and FREE
quent showers. The average
daily temperature was about Z
degrees below the normal, and
light frost occurred in exposed
places on the 10Th and 2lst, but
no damage was done. Showers
occurred in some parts of the
state on five days, and while
the rainfall was fairly we'll dis
tributed it was generally below
the normal although many To-
calities received a slight excess.
The rapid maturing of corn
was retarded by cool, wet and
cloudy weather, but it made
considerable progress and 65 to
rs per cent Of the crop is be-
yond injury by a moderately
heavy frost. The remainder
of the crop needs ten days of
warm, drying weather to make
it safe, and three weeks to put
it beyond danger of a hard
freeze. Silos are being filled
and considerable corn put in
shocks. Seed corn is being Sc
cured in many localities, and
that work will be general dur
ing the coming week. The wet
weather has also prevented
much threshing being done, and
considerable grain in shocks
and stacks is reported to be
badly damaged. The soil is in
excellent condition for blowing,
and where the rainfall was not
too heavy fall seeding progress
ed rapidly. Pastures, meadows
and late potatoes are doing
we'll. Geo. M. Chapel,
