DISASTROUS FOREST
FIRE UNDER CONTROL
(From Sundays Daily.)

After a twenty-four hour terrific
battle with the flames, the govern
ment foresters finally got under
control the disastrous forest fire
which ragged in the England and
Jones gulches about five miles south
Of Prescott. Yesterday at noon
just twenty-four hours after the
start of the most disastrous forest
conflagration in this district dur
ing the past eight years, the CHIEF
Of the fire fighters arrived at the
local office, exhausted from the eff
fects of battle, with the announce
ment that the blaze was finally I'M
der control.
There is no satisfactory story
available regarding the start of the
fire. When first discovered, small
patch of dry timber was burning al
brisk rate near the England gulcf
Before the local Office of the Forest
Supervisor could be notified, the lit.
tie glare had become a raging mas:
of flames.
AS early as l O'Clock. but one
hour after the fire started, there
were some Prescottonians familiar
with the signs. who pointed appre-
hensively to small pufs of white
smoke arising in the south with
the accompanying announcement
forest fire."
The day was an exceptionally &c
ceptable one to the demon Fire. A
strong wind carried the burning
cinders along to other timber patch
es and brush and despite all the ef
forts of the fre-hghters, the flame!
gained Roadway.
Utilizing all the devices available
for fre-fghting, the men made two
or three stands at different gulche;
only to be driven back as the burn
ing cinders ingited fresh patches o
the dry timber and mass of greer
became a raging furnace. Thre,
times stands were made in gulche
but retreat was sounded until fin
ally yesterday morning the wine
subsidized and the fight became
more even affair.
At ) O'Clock Friday afternoon
a heavy cloud Of smoke was suf
ficient evidence of the proportion
assumed by the fire and the fac
that the flames were gaining head
way. There were many Prescott
tonians who showed alarm when
heavy pail of smoke settled owe
the city Friday night and RENAME,
there until yesterday morning.
About 300 acres of valuable tim
Der and a few mining shacks wer
consumed in the fire which is pro
nounced the largest since the me
morable Groom creek conflagratio
OF eight years ago.

practically no two sides to the
question. The anti-dancers, repre-
sented by a delegation of church
rcopll. had invaded the board meet
Jug and no other side Of the ques-
ton was presented. The matter
WAS. taken up and favorable action
taken. But the Parents Teachers
.\ss )ciation offered the solution to
tie problem and when the pro-
cancers became aroused. united
in,,vement was arranged with tic
result that an exceptionally large
ATTIC ndance, comprised mostly by
pro-dancers was at the session.
Recently, the senior class arrang-
ed for dance in honor of the jun
iors. The Odd Fellows hall was
engaged and programs ordered to
be printed.
About two weeks before the dance
was scheduled to be held, the evan
ge1istic revival meetings were run
ming here in full sway. Among the
converts were three fourths of the
senior class. The dance was cali
ed off and a moonlight picnic sub
stituted.
For a time, the junior class stood
divided six to six on the question
of either giving junior prom as
has been customary in past years
or following the example set by the
seniors. Finally, the pro-dancers
gained two more over to their side.
Theirs was not to be the pleasure of
success for a few days afterwards,
the school board came across with
its ruling, ordering the stopping OF
the plans, under penalty of expul-
sion from school.
Now that their parents have come
to their rescue, the juniors have
again started to plan for the prom.
They contend that they have no
fears as to the outcome in view of
the fact that their parents are back
ing them up.
The wives of many prominent men
and a number of lawyers and bust
ness men went on record as favor
ing the continuance of dancing.
President Hazeltine OF the school
board who was temporary chair
man announced that there would
shortly be called a meeting of the
association at which time an advis-
ory vote of the parents present
would be taken relative to the con-
tinuance of dancing. The school
board will probably act in accord
ance with the prevailing sentiment
Principal Hart started the discus

the boys and girls into the high
