ton practiced by the Indians in cele-

FOREST fires CUT DOWN
IN SOUTHERN DISTRICT
ONLY 113 FIRES BROKE OUT DUR
ING DRY SEASON.
Supervisors Report Shows Safeguards
in Reserve Reduces Loss Many
Degrees-Fifty-six Fires Start
ed Through CareIessness.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-The addi-
tional patrol and safeguards installed
in the Angeles National forest last
spring-to say nothing of the 1000
goats charged with the task of eating
breaks and trails-worked an appre-
ciable improvement in forest condi-
tions as shown in a special fire report
of Forest Supervisor R. H. Charlton.
During the dry season there were
but 113 fires, most of them of negli-
gible character. During the summer
of 1914, 153 fires broke out
Evidencing the efficacy of watch
towers, telephone lines and co-opera-
tive patrol provided by corporations
and municipal and county institutions,
the report shows that the average dis
covery time was twelve minutes (this
being the time lapsing from the in
|ception of the fire until discovered by
ranger, patrolman, or camper). The
average report tine was three minutes
and the average time of travel was
eleven minutes. The average time
that elapsed, therefore, from the incep-
tion of the fire until rangers were on
the ground and engaged in fighting it
was but twenty-seven minutes. This
breaks all records for speed, and eff
cheney in handling forest fires in this
or any other district
Of the 113 fires that broke out in the
Angeles forest during the year, fifty
six were started, through carelessness
of campers. The others are attrib-
uted to the following causes: Seven,
lightning; two, passing locomotives; /;
three, incendiary; eleven, brush fires !;
eleven, miscellaneous, and twenty
three unknown. Fifty-two fires were
extinguished by the rangers alone,
while the cooperation of others was
obtained to cope with sixty-one con-
fagrations
The average duration of fires was
two hours, and the average area visit
led by flames was forty-six acres. The
cost of prevention and suppression OF
fires aggregated $14,32037.

Merced county was given a medal of
honor for figs, and was represented in
the honor list with grapes and sweet
potatoes.
Nevada county, in long list of gold,
silver and bronze medals, had one
mention of pears. The names at
tached to the delicious fruit for which
the county took its medals are we'll

the grand prize for Bartlett pears, and
the White Doyenne Bose and Glenden-

Orange Scores Heavily.
Orange county took twenty-three
prizes. Yet oranges are mentioned
only once The rest of the list is in
teresting st. Johns bread took gold
medal, as did loquats. It also took
prizes for feijoas, varnish nuts, pep

and sapota.
Placer county had the longest list
of awards with thirty. These included
prizes for pears, pomegranates, per-
simmons, ounces, apples. apricots,

San Joaquin county won with it's
onions, Solano county with grapes and
plums, and Sonoma county with ap-
pies, Most of the other counties of
California won medals and mention.
Granting of the numerous awards
in the citrus fruit classifcations is
met with particular satisfaction by
Southern California growers because
of the comprehensive displays in that
line made by nations of Southern Eu-
rope. 1t is considered as a tribute to
the local ranchers of superiority in
product and natural advantages over
those sections of France, Spain and
Italy formerly noted for the excellence
of their citrus crops, and places Cali
fornia in .the fore rank of the worlds

with flying colors and thirty-fve
awards, including one grand prize and
two more to follow, by it's exhibits of
fruits and vegetables at the San Fran
cisco exposition. s.
To the Fastener perhaps, it seems
impossible that California should raise
the best Jerusalem artichokes and the
best potatoes in the world.
But the judges were selected care
fully, and in judging they reckoned
not on locality, so that California, hor-
ticulturally and agriculturally, carried
off SOB prize awards.
There were II grand prizes, 48 med
ais of honor, 80 gold medals, LII silver
medals, 95 bronze medals and 142 hon
orable mentions.
And the list of these prizes covers
every range of fruit and vegetable
raised in the northern and near-tropic
climates.
Santa Clara county gets gold med
al for display OF blackberrreS, Alameda
is mentioned for strawberries, and, if
the judges had been here this month,
nobody doubts who would have had
the gold medal.
Calaveras county took mentions for
two varieties of apples. San Leandro
took gold medal for cucumber pick
les; Fresno county took no less than
five gold medals for grapes, Persian
melons, nectarines, peaches and
plums.
Kern county was well up in the list
with four gold medals, one silver med
|al, two bronze medals and ten honor
able mentions. The prizes were given
for rhubarb, ounces, blackberries, wa
termelons, Jerusalem artichokes, cas-
abas and other fruits and vegetables.
Kings county also took seventeen
