Messrs. 10y McInturff and BOYD
Nicholas proprietors Of the sawmill
operating on the land of Peter Cook
have made settlement with their
neighbors, who so efficiently assisted
them in extinguishing the fire which
started from their mill April c. AL
though assistance was given within
ten minutes after the fire started, it
ives so dry and windy that it was with
difficulty kept from doing a great
deal of damage to adjoining lands
and fences. Luckily the fire was ex.
|tinguished while it was yet some dis
lance from the Government land.
Forest fires are considered of such
Importance that the matter was taken
Up by the Commonwealth Attorney
Williams and the Forestry Depart
ment. U. S. Ranger Stoneburner
made a special trip to the locality to
Investigate and found that no spark
arrester had been used on the engine.
1t is reported that all the sawmill men
in this section are now preparing to
provide their engines with spark
arresters in compliance with the new
State law. The Forestry Department
has offered to assist in burning around
the mill sites in order to lessen the
chance of fires, and to save the owp-
ers from possible heavy fines and
