ANIMALS CAUGHT BY FIRE
Forest Flames on Glenn Ranch In
California Overlook Thousands Of
Them In Flight

Los Angeles, Cal.-Thousands Of
dead rabbits, with here and there q
deer caught by the whirl Of fame, and
trees full Of roasted apples. on the
Glenn ranch, were among the toll of
the big forest IRE that swept from
Cajon to Lytel Greek. according to re-
ports brought here by Supervisor R
H. Charlton. after almost a week spent
in the big woods fighting the fire.
The woods are as dry as finder, and
the flames made rapid Roadway In
spite Of the efforts of nearly two hun
dred experienced firehghters, who
were almost worn out by their efforts.
The blaze was confined for the most
part to leaves. needles and small
brush. When 1t was confined to a GER
tain area by the men. the inside of the
fire line was filed with wild game try
ing to get away. The sweep of the fire
was so quick that In hundreds OF in
stances they could not get out of the
zone of danger.
The rabbits ran In droves to the
center away from the fringe of the
flames, only to be burned up when the
fire ate its way into their hiding
places Several deer, one of them a
big six-prong buck, ran right into the
hottest blaze.

JAPAN'S GRANDEST OLD MAN

There is only one Okuma in
Japan or in the world. He is a posi-
lively unique character. As far as
years go he is called an old man and
should long ago have been Oslerized
But he is really only seventy-six
years young and has declared that he
expects to live so or so years longer.
And In spirit he is certainly still a
young man.
He has never been called one of
the "elder statesmen" but he de-
served the appellation as much as
they did. He was prominent in pub
lie service before any one of them;
but he was sidetracked into private
life because he dared to differ with
the policies of others who later rose
into prominence and he has been
kept In the background because he
was considered too liberal, even too
radical. He has survived all except
three or four of his old colleagues
and rivals.

planted throughout the state by the
Forest Service as soon as the wealth 81
conditions will permit. Expert.
ments have been carried on at Clio
quet for the last four years in the
raising of pine seedlings, and the
results have been so satisfactory that
success is assured. This is the first
extensive venture at REPRESENTATION
ever attempted in Minnesota and if
the forestry amendment, which will
be submitted to the people next Nov
ember, passes, reforestration will be
conducted on a large scale. The
seedlings will be planted on cut-over
and burned-over, soils in Itasea Park
Burnside State Forest and Pillsbury
State Forest, one thousand to the
acre. At the end of fifteen years, the
trees will have attained a height of
twenty feet, with a diameter breast
high of four inches. At this age
they will have to be thinned, and the.
trees thinned out can be used as cord
wood or tagging in the mines, and
from this time on a continual rev
enue can be obtained. In sixty
years, the seedlings will have at
