HO W TO AVOID
 BAD FOREST FIRES

The following communication is from A. Christensen, chief of field division of the land department, directing people how to build camp fires and drawing attention to the dan ger to which forests, etc, are exposed:
 "The forest fires raging at Haines and vicinity reminds us rnat when there are periods of dry weather there is always great danger of forest fires. Large areas of forests, public and private, are destroyed each year by fire. This destruction is an injury to everyone and is a great danger, espe- cially in all mountain countries where regular flow of streams is of vital importance. It Is also well at this time that the attention of the public be called to certain laws passed by Con-

 ANCHORAGE, June 1.-There is not much improvement in the stock quotations of the labor market. The latest is 121a cents for ties at the stump. peeled and the roads swamped. And already you can hear the talk of the good old days on the Copper River railway.
 The weather is ideal and everybody is busy planting garden, with bare footed children in evidence and the ladies sporting sun shades. In fact one could very easily imagine that he was in Southern California. Dr. Car michael, of Nome, claims that climatic conditions are such there Is no room here for any members of his profes- sion. Even Bob Hayner, formerly of Cordova who is always willing to take chance in the undertaking game, re alizes that he has placed his bet on the wrong card.
 James Carscadden has played his Seward interest against success here, while M. H. Diedrick has turned Prohibitionist, since his bottling works Is getting the money. Peter Gfovich believes the pay streak runs to pool room and is erecting a large log build ing to house tables; Doc Madden is looking longingly towards the govern ment pay roll; C. B. Peterson has gone into the homestead game; Bert Mo Cutcheon is here with bunch of Can. adian hustlers, watching the stables and flirting with the jockeys, trying

large logs, especially large rotten logs where it requires much more work and time to put the fire out than you are willing to expend. and where you are rarely quite certain that the fire is really and completely extlnguished.
 1. In windy weather and in dan gerous places, dig a fire hole and clear off q place to secure your fire. You will save wood and trouble.
 :. Every camp fire should be com pletely put out before leaving camp.

 End. Forbid leaving camp-fires and others without first extinguishing them.
 This law also provides a maximum punishment in a fine of $5,O0O or inn prisonement for two years, or both, if a fire is set maliciously, and a fine of $l,OO0 or imprisonment for one year, or both, if a fire results from careless. ness. This law also provides that the money from such fines be paid to the school fund of the county in which the offense is committed It is unfortun- ate that people will be so careless as to leave fires without extinguishing them and thereby cause the loss of valuable timber which cannot be re- stored for centuries, and the destruc- tion of homes as well. It is, therefore, suggested that since so many fires start from neglected camp fires the public be requested as follows:
 1. Do not build a larger fire than you need.
 ?. Do not build your fires in dense masses of pine leaves, duff, and other combustible material where the fire is sure to spread.
 3. Do not build your fire against

A GUN FOR ROOSEVELT
 AND FREE TRIP TO WAR

SOUTH MANSFIELD, La, June f. Notes sent to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt offering to furnish him with a gun and transportation to join either the allied or German army and his rejoinder to one of them became pub lie today. The first message read:
 South Mansfield, La, May II, 1915. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Syra-
 cuse, N. r.:
 Judging from the statement or yours at Syracuse that you have the fighting spirit, we, the citizens of this village, will furnish gun and transportation for you to join either the allied or Ger man forces individually-no substi- tutes.
 CITIZENS SOUTH MANSFIELD.
 Colonel Roosevelt answered: Syracuse, N. Y, May 12, 1915. Citizens South Mansfield, La: If your citizens who addressed the telegram to me will volunteer to join and accompany me to Europe, we will join the allied forces, purchasing our arms from your city and starting im- mediately from South Mansfield.

 Fearing that the Colonel misunder- stood the meaning of their first tele- gram, the following message was sent

II looked to Zudora rs though some
violent hurricane had taken II up miles

In her mind. Most collectors were mad

clothes on their back. so long rs they
possessed the wherewithnl to pursue

Of the house convinced her that what
curtos they had were security locked

ask the complete history Of the missing
stone. II had come from India orig

before the nutiny. Its real value lay
In Its eternal fire. There were times
when this CLEAN was discernible even
In dark room. They wanted II back
very badly and would he willing to pay

ra inquired If the brothers had seen
any strangers recently. No. Did the
village people know anything about
their collection The old men laughed
and shook their tousled heads.
They know nothing. They think
that we are couple of foolish old
misers. No; in no way can we account
for the disappearance"
"Can you describe the diamond?

description. Here is photograph Of

The producing OF this photograph
quieted any doubts Zudora might have
had. Collectors were generally slip
