THE SEASON WILL BE DEVOTED
TO FIRE INSPECTION AND I'M
PRovEMENTs THROUGH
OUT RESERVE.

The guards and lookout men b.Ne
been engaged for the coming fire sea-
son in the Nezperce National Forest
Reserve and the majority of them com
menced their duties throughout the
the several districts of the local forest
in the reserve, one of the largest re.
serves in the United States, and the
duties of the rangers and guards are
arduous on account of the large terri
tory to be patrolled. The fire season is
devoted to guarding against fires which
may break out, making improvements,
building telephone lines to every part
of the reserve, repairing old roads and
trails and building new ones and a
thousand and one other duties that the
average individual does not realize.
Among the other duties of the rang
ers and their guards is livestock in
spection and regulating the grazing of
livestock in the reserve. Certain dis
tricts are apportioned to sheep and
others to cattle and. other range
animals. Under this system of mana
cement the range in every part of the
reserve is so apportioned among patrons
holding grazing permits that it is not
overstocked and each man running
stock on the reserve is assured of plenty
of pasturage for the season. Besides
this feature the rangers and the guards
and lookout men on the reserve protect
the range by being on the outlook for
fires which may start and fighting tn
same when they do start and protec. tg
both the range, and stock as well as the
timber. This feature of the work per-
formed by the forest service is not APP
preciated by everyone but it is not the
least of it's services
Under the system used in fire patrol,
lookout men are stationed on prominent
points in the different districts through
out the reserve and are on the watch
day and night looking for signs of fire
in any part of the reserve. Telephone

WHITE BIRD Had BIG FIRE
THURSDAY NIGHT.

Davis will suffer a loss of several hun
dred dollars. Mr.. wilson s interest
were partly covered by insurance.
From the barn the fire spread to the
w. A. Newman restaurant. The loss
to Mr.. Newman was about $1,000, $500
of which is covered by insurance. The
building occupied by the White Bird
harness company was destroyed and
there was no insurance the loss being
about $500. The harness stock and
tools were saved. A. o. Hess lost new
wagon, contents and set of double
harness.
How the fire started is a mystery.
As stated above an inspection of the
premises around the barn for the night
was made not so long before the fire
started. Besides that several others
were in the barn not so very long be-
fore the fire started. The barn and
other buildings destroyed are located
in the south end of town and the Quiet
night only saved worse conflagration.
As soon as discovered everyone turned
out and bucket brigade was soon
fighting the progress of the fire. This
Is the second disasterous fire within a
short length of time in White Bird and
the little city has certainly suffered
great loss.

TRAVELLING MANS EXPERIENCE.

In the summer of 1888 I had very
severe attack of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from four
a. m. to p. m. without giving me any
relief and then told me they did not ex-
pect me to live; that had best tele-
graph for my family. Instead of doing
so, I gave the hotel porter fifty cents
and told him to buy me bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, and take no substitute
l took double dose according to the
directions and went to sleep after the
second dose. At five o'clock the next
morning | was called by my order and
took train for my next stopping point,
