100000 ACRES
FREE VACATIONISTS
Chief Forester Graves Invites Every
, body to Camp in the Ma
tional Forests.
RANGERS GIVE HELPING HAND

To make the national forests, with
their aggregate area of 1s7. 1000 acres.
a vast camping and recreation ground
for the people is one Of the ambitions Of
Henry S. Graves. chief forester. Al
ready hundreds Of canyons and lake
shores are dotted with camps and cot
tages built on sites obtained through
permits of the Forest Service.
The combined area Of the national for
ests equals that Of Chile and is nearly
half as big again as Germany. While
most OF the forests are in the Pacific
Coast and Rocky Mountain States, with
several million acres in Alaska, there are
areas in various other States
Special provision is made by the for
est officials and rangers for enabling
pleasure seekers to get the full worth
of their holiday. Four-fifths Of the peo-
pie in the national forests during the
last fiscal year were pleasure seekers.
numbering over 10000. But they were
not a drop in the bucket compared with
the number that could be taken care OF.
Those who do not care to camp and
settle down in one spot may travel from
place TO place without let or hindrance
so long as they observe reasonable eau
tion to prevent fires Those who want
a particular spot for a camp are re-
quired to pay a nominal sum for per-
nit. Forest rangers are under special
instructions to assist the tourists and
campers in every reasonable way. They
can always be depended upon to advise
the traveller how best to reach his des
tination or to direct him to places or
trips OF special attractiveness, to aid
him in an emergency, to procure
physician II needed, or to give him a
neighborly lift.

Valuable time is lost in such cases.

one time been a clerk in Dunkum's store.
Mrs. Hall was a Mrs Dunkum before
she married Hall, being several years
his senior. She has two grown daugh-
ters by her first husband. a brother of

Mrs. Hall says that several hours
after the fire there was a knock on her

Just as the door opened. Hall had en-
