FIRE FIGURES ARE
NOW COMPILED
LOCAL FOREST SERVICE RE.
CEIvES STATISTICS FROM
WASHINGTON OFFICE.

The Washington office of the for
estry department recently issued u
complete statistical atlas. II contains
many interesting figures and chief
among them are the estimates of fires
on the national forests. II shows an
interesting comparison between the
seasons of 1910 and 1911. in the five
northwestern states. In 1910. which.
by the way. was one of the worst fire
seasons for many years, there were
scot forest fires recorded. In 1911
there were but 1869. OF course, right
at the beginning II Is admitted that
the differences In the season had ev-
erything to do with the reduction In
the number of fires but there Is some
credit to the forest service for the
adoption of more up-tod date methods
OF fire protection. Also, there is the
factor. experience. The men In 1911
were not foolng around with any
fires They had had their lesson. and
II was a grim one, indelibly impressed
during the foregoing season. Methods
of handling fires. number of men en-
ployed in patrol work. means of com
municating the existence of fire by
means of field telephones, in fact. the
whole service made immense strides
Preventable Causes.
The three causes of fires which can
be guarded against are the railroads.
campers and brush burners. In the
year 1910, 10 per cent of the increased
trouble was due to railroads and 10
per cent more to the campers and
l,rush- burners. These three causes
are in the mind of the forest service
almost absolutely preventable. The
railroads are in the great majority OF
instances cooperating with the forest
service In patroling their rights of
way. Patrol, this is the solution
recommended by the service. eff
these figures mean anything" said
District Forester Silcox yesterday.
they certainly indicate that as the
danger increases the railroad patrol
should be greatly increased and that
campers and brush burners should be
more closely watched. These three
causes are preventable and 1t Is COM
paratively easy To throw increased
patrol into the danger zones on short
notice"

THE GAME OF GOLF.
II Is Very Serious Matter With the
Real Scot Enthusiast.

In Fife and the Lothians every one
plays golf-men of leisure. working
men and loafers. the last class produc
ing the finest players. Many of the
Scotch towns have public courses, and
even where they are private the arti-
san clubs may use them on generous
terms. Says Stewart Dick in The
Pageant of the Forth
There is something very Scotch
about the Scotch golfer. He seems TO
suit the leisurely and contemplative
game. Keep your eye on the ball.

Judged from the old story of the Scotch

This is My 37h Birthday
WILLIAM p. MccoOMBs.

William f McCoombs, chairman of
the National Democratic committee
and manager of the Wilson presiden-
tial campaign, was born in Ashley, Ar
kansas, December 26, 1875. He receiv-
ed his preparatory education in Ten
nessee and in 1898 was graduated from
Princeton University. Following this
he attended the Harvard law school,
from which he was graduated in 1901,
and was then admitted to the New
York bar. For several years he was
employed as clerk by a promin ent
law firm. He then opened an Office of
his own and before long had attained
a high place in his profession. Prior
to his taking charge of the recent cam
paign his only experience in practical
politics was in 1904, when he was an
unsuccessful candidate on the Demo
cratic state ticket for the New York
general assembly. Mr.. McCombs has
been a close friend of President-elect
Wilson ever sine he was a student at
Princeton, where the Presdent-elect
was at that time a professor.

Cartouche was the hero:

stopped him and asked why he wanted
TO bid adieu 10 life. The would he sui

Cartouche was touched and told the
man TO call his creditors together ON
the morrow and they should be paid
In full.
The creditors assembled. Cartouche
went over their accounts, paid them

them and relieved them OF all he had
given.-Exchsnge.

FIRE DANGER AT SEA.
How Flames Can Sweep the inside Of
Even a Metal Ship.

no" flames Ian sweep thS OF
Even a Metal Ship.
The danger from fire on a transat-
iantic liner is more serious than Is gen.
orally believed. 1t is much greater
than the danger from collision and is
becoming more and more dangerous
with the increased outlay upon luxury
and display. The main structure of the
ship and most Of its essential parts are
of metal, but many of the fittings, near
" every feature of ornament and every
trapping Of luxury, are highly infam
mable.
No one who has not been aboard the
Spanish wrecks at Santiago can con.
ceive how fire can sweep the inside OF
even a metal ship. Admiral Cervera
described to me the experience on
board the Teresa in these words: The
second shot that came on board set us
Oh fire. The fire main was damaged
Soon we were unable to cope with the
fire. 1t swept through her from bow
to stern. There was not a space as big
as the palm Of your hand where life
could have been sustained. An insect
could not have lived on boerd We had
to get overheard or be burned"
1t is true the Spaniards had not cut
out their woodwork and thrown over
board all unnecessary inf1a mmables. as
we had in the American fleet, but the
inf1ammability Of one of their war
ships was much less than that of a
luxurious ocean liner.-Captaiu Rich

EHeart,toHeart
Talks.
THE PIONEERS.

Z remember lighting fires; remember
sitting by 'em:
remember seeing faces. hearing voices
through the smoke:
Z remember they were fancy. for I threw
a stone to try 'em.
"Something lost beyond the ranges" was
the only word they spoke.
Seeing faces and hearing voices
through the smoke of campfres were a
part of the glamour of the romance of
the early pioneering of America.
Hard and stern were the lives Of the
pathfinders, but through all the hard
ships and deprivation was the spirit
Of high adventure and poetic fancy.
The hope Of advancement, of the ac-
Quirement Of free lands, of the making
of homes-these were the motives that
moved the men and women who tool
the trails
But beyond material prosperity
There was the lure Of something
lost beyond the ranges" the quest for
something new.
Slowly crept the covered wagons
along river beds and over mountain
passes, slow and solitary beyond the
Appalachians. The campfires moved
faster over the prairies, then beyond
the Mississippi, until came the rush to
Ell Dorado, with it's promise of gold
and allurement of adventure. From
"where rolls the Oregon" the tide re-
turned, and the frontiers were gone.
Are there then no more pioneers?
Has the restless, hardy spirit of
American life, bred in the bone and
blood of many generations, been
tanned?
Does this persistent force still hold
If so, how to use it?
Surely there is abundant call for all
the courage and fortitude and initia-
tive that distinguished the fathers.
And If one can find it there is even
in our times the charm of risk and of
adventure, because there are foes in
our social life more deadly than the
painted savages.
But
How shall we fire the fancy Of our
youth to see the faces and hear the
voices? How make them see that
something lost beyond the ranges?'
If!
If we are able to touch the imag gina.

make them see the need for chivalric
