AUGUST 20. 1912, NOT MUCH LIKE
TIE SAME DAY TWO
YEARS BEFORE.

Two years ago this morning. on
Sunday, August %, 1910 The Mssou-
lian printed the story Of wild sweep
Of fire, raging through tho forests to
the west, destroying lives and property
and laying bare the mountains of the
Bitter Root Two years ago yesterday
against which the forest service had
been fighting for weeks into fearful
holoeausts against which no fire fight
ing apparatus had the slightest effect.
The fire swept into the town of Wal
lace and half burned It; 1t ragged
through the mountains. cutting off
lonely prospectors and fire fighters.
II whirlcd through the st. Regis val
ley, destroying whole towns and send
ing hundreds Of homeless people In
frightened flight for their lives
That was two years ago. Yester-
day there was not a fire on any for
est in district No. so far as the dis
trict officials knew. Little blazes
there might have been. Just sprung up
and easily controlled, but nothing like
a real forest fire. Nor has there been
one this summer. We have had far
more rain than Is usual this year. But
the weather doesn't account for 1t ALL
1t Is almost safe to say that had the
weather conditions been the same this
summer ns In that fatcful summer Of
| 1910. there would have been no fires Of
serious size The forest service has
developed wonderfully as regards fire
protection during the past two years
Bitter lessons were learned then and
have been put to good advantage and
systems of defense which were Just
being built up In 1910 have been COM
pleted now. II Is doubtful If the fires
could have gotten much of n start this
year even II the summer had been hot
and dry Trails have been built to
The resnotest parts of the forest and
lookout stations have been built In the
woods and connected with the rangers
stations by te'cphonc In this way
every fire that has started has been
stopped while small The lookout sta
tions In the Idaho forests have caught
hundreds Of little b'azcs and have done
n lot toward keeping the loss down.

A Bitter Lesson.

The fire Of 1910 was n bitter lesson.
but 1t has been wei learned. Nothing
like 1t will ever happen again if the
most modern and scientific methods of
fire fighting can prevent. Missoula
people have not forgotten those thrill
ing days, they still sniff at smoke In
the air and live In horror of anything
Ike forest fire No one who saw
tho fire days want to see them again.
IT was an exciting time. though. for the
newsgathorcrs. tragic as II was. The
first report Of the fire came early Sun
day morning after the paper had BEEN
waiting for some possibblc early morn
Ing news. The first hint of 1t came
In half telegram from Wallace. which
had been cut short In the sending. An
attempt was made to get telephone
connections with Wallace. but the wire
was busy. The Missoulian was cut in,
though, and reporter heard the ex-
citing report of the Wallace operator.
He sat In his office with the fire
sweeping through the city and people
flying In every direction for safety, and
reported foot by foot the progress of
the flames At last the fire reached
his own building, there was click as
the wires grounded and the last con-
nection with the city was gone.
Then came an excited call for help
from Burke The town was COM
pletcly surrounded by fire. the call
said. the wooden fumes that carried
tho clty's water supply had been burned
and handful of hysterical towards
had run off with the only locomotive
In town. Send men and a train" was
the appeal.
Then there was rush for fire
fighters. Mayor Logan was routed
out of bed and relief train was made
up by the Northern Pacific. Before
dawn the train had left and word had
come of other trains from Wallace.
bringing refugees to Missoula.
The next day the homeless horde
reached Missoula, and were taken In
charge by responsive crowd of peo-
pie. II was a dark Missoula that day,
full of smoke that brought tears to eyes
and stung throats and hid the sun. All
day came reports of the fires progress.
II RACED down the ST. Regis valley. de-
siroylng towns ana farms and leaving
desolation and death behind IT, More
refugees partly-clad. frightened. with
IL 'cs of disaster ana hcroism by the
score.
For week the fire burned It's course
and then at last died. The list of
dead grew larger and the reports of
damage done Increased daily. II was
"A week of tragedy, of heroics OF fear.
but II left lesson that will never be
forgotten.

For a Birthday Partx.


Here is Il description OF a table ar
ranged for a birthday party of a 10
Near-old girl. 1t was so beautifully
simple in design and detail that any
mother could carry out the scheme
with Very little trouble or expense.
The guests We're "a in number.
To save table linen, as it was in the
country, and laundry work at IL pre-
MUM. the table was set with pink
crepe tissue paper mats. The cake,
which was the center Of attraction.
was a large angels food. iced with
white and decorated with candicd
cherries n spikes of citron. Around
the cake was a barrel hoop, wound
with pink paper and ferns. In this
hoop pink candles We're stuck. The
holders can be pasteboard With sharp
tacks in the end, such as are used on
Christmas trees. There was just as
many candles as the hoop would hold:
they represented 1.-The years to come"
On Il small hoop right close up to the
right i'm the middle of the cake was
tall candle. the car to grow on"
Bowls of flowers We're at tho four cor
ncrs of the table. with plates of chick
CD sandwiches. saltcd almonds. lcmon-
ade with cherries in it. and tall glass
IS filled with plain vanilla ice cream.
The cream had Il tablespoonful of
whipped cream OF top. capped by a
Maraschino cherry. Paper napkins
were used and Swapping" caps. so
dear to childish hearts, We're the ia
vors.

Eor Lonsfcllow's Birthday.


On February 81 comes the natal day
of n Of our beloved American poets.
Longfellow holds his own in the
hearts of all loyal Americans, and one
mother is planning a Very charming
affair for the children in her little
daughters room at school.
There is to be a platform at the end
of the big living room, where the
children are to give tableauN. all taken
from Longfellow's works. The invita-
tons are to be on Longfellow post
cards. and the decorations are to be
Indian trophies, blankets, etc, Dor
rowed from a retired army officer and
used as a settink to the series of pic
lures arranged from 'Hiawatha."
There are to be refreshments of weak
tea, because, as a small lad said.
Boston was the place Of the famous
tea party and Longfellow lived in
Boston," and then baked bean sand
wiches. because every n who lived
in Boston was supposed to know
'beans;'" olives and ice cream and
cake complete the list. / am sure
nothing would please the n who
wrote 1.-The Children's Hour" more
than to know with what keen interest
his birthday is celebrated by the
American children of today. One of
the show places of Boston, or, more
properly speaking, Cambridge, is the
famous house on Brattle street where
the poet lived and died.
Keeping it as he used it is Il JOY,
for it makes everything seem so Very
real to those who are fortunate to be
rooms are open to tho public.
Excellent prints may be obtained
and used as souvenirs both of IN poet
and his home.
