Plans for conservation work on a

Roosevelt, Pinchot and other adyo-
Gates of a national conservation pro-
gram, included protection of densely
populated valleys against sudden
floods The conservation program, as
it has been preached by the leaders
In that movement, looked to the re
newing of forests on the denuded
hills of watersheds, the construction
of storage reservoirs to hold back
the waters in flood seasons and pre-
vent droughts in dry seasons, the
deepening and widening of river
channels to both permit the escape
of flood waters and afford better OPP
portunities for navigation, and the
utility of water power for cheaper
ing cost of production of living.
In keeping waterways and chan
nels open it is necessary not only TO
dig channels, but to keep them clear
of mud and silt. These deposits are
washed into the streams by floods.
and not only fill the channels and
choke them, but impoverlsh agricul-
tural sections by carrying away the
soil, where the land has been de-
nuded of the trees and vegetation
which naturally holds back the
water allowing it TO percolate
through the soil slowly. instead of
running off into the streams as fast
as 1t falls.
CIearings Make Floods Worse.
AS cities. built in narrow valleys
along rivers and stream, grow in
size, and as the forests are cleared
of the slopes in the watersheds,
floods have increased in violence and

1911. They burned over, in the
aggregate. 23O, 900 acres as against
78O, 900 in 1911. California led all

Arizona stood second in both of

D0n'ts by the Doctor

Now that the cold months are
about ended it is time, the physicians
say, to prepare the body for the
coming of spring so as to avoid
colds in the changing weather.
More persons have colds in the
spring than at any other time of
the year. Here are few don is
that are worth remembering:
Don't throw off the winter
clothing until warmer weather is
assured.
Don't allow your feet to get wet
and remain wet all day.
Don't fail to air your home daily,
regardless of the kind of weather.
Don't neglect to take exercise
each day, but don't take it and
then go out in the cold while
bathed in perspiration.
Don't fail to keep the body clean
and the pores of the skin open.
Remember a mustard bath for the
feet is better than a barrel of patent
remedies when curing colds.
Above all at this time of the
year a cold bath in the morning is
beneficial. 1t does not necessarily
have to be complete immersion in
a tub of ice water. Such treatment
may be beneficial to only few.
But don't fail to wash the face,
neck and arms in cold water, and
if you will continue the sponge
bath over the body, followed by a
vigorous rubbing of the parts
bathed you will improve the cir
culation and start the day right.
In other words. don't let the COM
ing of spring and the advent of a
few warm days with the ensuing
perspiration mark the closed season
for fresh air.

POSTOFF|CE MOVED
Occupies New Quarters in the
James Block

The Ely postoffice which had
been in the old location for four
teen years was moved Saturday
night and Sunday to the rooms
next to the drug store.
The work of moving was con-
siderable of job yet service was
not interrupted. The mails were
handled Saturday night and Sun
day. Through the excellent work
of Contractors Meitunnen & Peter
son, the new place had been pre-
pared so that all that remained was
to put the boxes in place and put
on the finishing touches.
The place is new, clean and COM
modious for both the force and the
patrons. The postmaster has gone
to considerable expense in the new
quarters and he hopes the patrons
will do all in their power to keep
the place sanitary and in shape.
Contrary to the general opinion,
the postoffice is not a loafing place
for tobacco chewing and smoking
he-gossips and loafng and splitting
on the floor must be stopped.
Neither are the fixtures or the
walls for the posting of advertising
matter and parties in the habit of
using the lobby for that purpose
will bear this in mind.
The office forces will do all in
their power to give good service
but let it be understood right now,
impositions will not be tolerated.
1t is not necessary to whistle at the
clerks nor kick the fixtures over to
attract attention. Complaints will
be attended to in the regular course
of business.
Heretofore patrons and the office
force has been persistently annoyed
by the large number of children
that congregate for no other pur-
pose than to be annoying. A list
of these is being prepared and
notice will be sent to the parents.
Should this not be sufficient, the
list will be given to the police de-
partment for action. The govern
ment rules are to the effect that
when the authorities of a town
cannot keep order in postof6ce
buildings, the doors shall be lock-
ed during the mail period" Gov

FOREST FIRES
Fire Losses Small ON National
Forests Owing to System

The Department of Agriculture
has been figuring up the losses by
fires on the National Forests for the
calendar year 1912, and finds that
they were the lowest of recent
years. Less than one acre to every
thousand of timbered lands was
burned over, and the total damage
is estimated at SIS, 29O, or less
than one dollar to every 1000 acres
of area.
The good record is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions
in most localities, and second, the
increased efficiency of the fire.
fighting organization. AS Congress
makes available the means for ex-
tending the system of communica-
tions on the National Forests, the
equipment of trails, roads, tele-
phones, and lookout stations is
yearly enlarged and the fires, it is
said, are discovered more quickly
and fought more rapidly.
An especially good showing was
made by the Forest officers last
year in extinguishing fires outside
the National Forests before they
reached the Forest boundaries.
Such fires constituted more than
one-sixth of all fought by the
Forest rangers and guards. About
nine-tenths were extinguished be-
fore they touched the Forests. Of
the fires within the Forest boun-
diaries more than Is per cent were
on lands in private ownership.
Nearly one-fourth of the extra ex-
penditures due to fighting fires
that is, expenditures outside the
time of the regular Forest force
was incurred in fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency, followed by rail-
roads. campers, and incendiaries.
in the order given. The greatest
losses occurred in Arizona, Arkan-
sas, and California, in which States
there were also the largest proper
ton of fires caused by lightning
and by incendiarism. About ri
per cent of all the fires were started
by lightning, and about SO per cent
were due to carelessness. The pro-
portion in each case was practically
