GREAT DECREASE
IN FOREST fires

The Department of Agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires on
the National forests for the calendar
year l9l2,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 $75,29O, 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 in
creased efficiency of the fre-fghting
organization. AS congress makes
available the means for extending the
system Of communication ON the Ma
tional forests, the equipment of trails,
roads, telephones and lookout stations
IS yearly enlarged and the fires, it il
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 Ma
tlonal forests before they reached the
forest boundaries. Such fires consti-
tuted more than one-sixth of all
fought by the forest rangers and
guards. About nine-tenths were ex-
tinguished before they reached the
forests. OF the fires within the forest
boundaries more than Is per cent were
ON lands in private ownership. Near
ly one-fourth of the extra expendi-
lures due to fighting fires--that is, ex-
penditures outside the time of the
regular forest force-was incurred in
lighting 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, Arkansas and
California, in which states there was
also the largest proportion of fires
caused by lightning and by incendiar-
ism. About "a per cent of all the
fires were started by lightning and
about 80 per cent were due to care.
lessness. The proportion in each case
was practically the same as in the pre-
vious year.
The total number of fires was 2,472,
as compared with 1860 in 1911. They
burned over, in the aggregate, $780,
600 acres as against 10000 in 1911.
California led all states in total num-
ber of fires and in the number caused
by lightning. Arizona stood second
in both of these elassifcations. Ar
kansas stood fourth in total number
OF fires, and first in those of incendi-
ary origin, with California second.
The one National forest in Kansas
had only one fire, which burned over
less than ten acres and cost Sl1l to
extinguish. North Dakota had no
fires on its one small forest.
OF the 2,472 fires, over rs per cent
We're put out before 10 acres were
burned over, and nearly so per cent
before one-quarter of an acre was
covered. Only IL fires caused damage
of more than $1,000 each.

WOOL TARIFF BILL RfADY
FOR DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

The tariff revision bill now is vir-
tually in shape for submission to the
Democratic caucus of the house,
though still subject to a smoothing
out process, says Washington press
The Democratic majority of
the house committee ON ways and
means voted Tuesday to make raw
wool dutiable at 10 per cent ad
valorem, with substantial reductions
in the present rates on manufactures
of wool, much along the lines of the
previous Democratic wool measures of
the last congress.
This victory of the protectionists
over the free raw wool advocates was
the elimination of lively contest in
committee. The present law imposes
a dut of IL cents pound on raw wool
which the house bill of the last con
gress would have changed to an ad
valorem of 20 per cent, reduction fig
ured to represent approximately cut
from AZ to 20 per cent ad valorem.
In the committee meats were put on
the free list as they were in the house
bill of the last congress and cattle
were left on the dutiable list.

SECURING JURY IN
SCOTT MURDER CASE

At 10 O'Clock this morning the case
of State of Nevada We. Bert Scott
was called in the Districs Court, when
the work of securing a Jury was be-
gun. Defendant is represented bv At
torney X. M. Hardy, of Lovelock with
Attorney Hugh Percy, of Reno, as as
sociate counsel. Practically all of the
jury who were excused the first day of
the term were present in court this
morning, and it is thought that the re-
ounce twelve men will .e obta,ne /
from the present panel
Defendant is charged with having
committed murder by the killing of
Ben Swago, at Rochester, on the ev-
ening of February "a. From current
reports of the circumstances OF the
shooting, it is presumed that the de-
fense will be justifable homicide. 1t
is stated by eye witnesses to the af-
fair that at the time of the shooting
which occurred in front of the Crys-
tai Brook saloon and eating house in
Rochester, defendant, who is a medi.
um-sized man, was being beaten up by
deceased, who was a large and muscu-
lar man. Each one of the parties rep
resented one of the two owners of the
saloon, and, engaging in an argument
over the business, stepped out doors,
when Scott was knocked down by
Swago, who began kicking him in the
face. Raising to his knees, Scott fir
ed the shot that caused the death of
his assaiant two days afterwards.

W. N. TO RESUME
SURVEY NEXT MONTH

All of southern Idaho, and especial
ly that portion contiguous to Boise,
is in a state of suppressed excitement
over the building of the Winnemucca
Northern, which will give them di-
rect rail communication with San
Francisco, via Winnemucca. The ac-
companying cut shows the territory
that will receive the principal bene-
fit of this cutoff. The result of the
building of this short line, will be to
place the territory from Boise to Win
nemucca on the main line of travel
by the northern route from the east
to San Francisco and make local or
branch line from Nampa to Portland.
The present intention is to run the
road about midway between Nampa
and Caldwell, which towns are only
nine miles apart, and are at present
connected by both the Oregon Short
Line and an electric road.
To a Silver State reporter today
Col. Place stated that crews of civil
engineers will be started from both
McDermitt and Boise the first of
April, or as soon thereafter as the
weather will permit, to survey the
route between the two towns. Chief
Engineer Sheldon, with crew, will
start from here at about the same
time, for the purpose of making a few
minor changes in his preliminary sur
vev.
The affairs of the Wimemucca Nor
thern are now in shape where its
officials feel confident that the line
will be built Threats of other roads
to parallel the line will have no eff
feet further than to give the territory
from here to the Short Line competi-
ton in case they are made good

however, workmen broke into a much
richer streak in the vein, which at
that time had been cut for a distance
of five feet, with no sign OF the foot
wall. Three assays of the rock were
made by l.. d. Hubbard, the best of
which gave values of $153.43 in silver
