it has not spread beyond a scope where
his feeble efforts, unassisted, would
rives at the scene of the conflagration
prove futile.
The life of the ranger and the guard
are strenuous these days and the ex-
tensive area covered by the Nezperce
reserve neccesitates additional work
in guarding against, preventing and
putting out fires. Those who have
homesteads in the reserve, without ex-
ception, generally cooperate heartily
with the forest service officials in fire
fighting and better, fire prevention.
Fire prevention is the main thing.
Those who go upon the reserve to enjoy
its wonderful natural scenery, to fish,
camp, hunt and to get back the vitality
of fires. A fire will endanger the life
of campers and pleasure seekers besides
destroying the work of nature for ages
in covering bare rock and hills with
beautiful growing vegetation. Again
thousands of head of stock are pastured
on the reserve, and fire always means
loss of range and worse still loss of
stock.
Most of the fires which has been set
out have not originated from careless
ness but from the bolt of tightening of
passing electrical storm which strikes
some mighty giant of the forest and
ignites the dry pitchy pine needles or
leaves, or the dry moss, soon spreading
from the inflammable finder to branch.
els and from tree to tree. The forest
fire has been described as awesome and
awful. In reality it is awful and has
proved so in the past where the loss has
not been always counted in dollars but
in the toll of human life.
Space forbids giving interesting facts
at this writing about this reserve anG
other reserves and their purposes and
the same will be held for some future
time. For the present, the person whit
goes upon or lives in the limits of tn,
reserve would do well to hearken to the
following fire rules.

We're reported.
There are several places not too far
from Grangeville where good sport can
be had and among these places, per-
haps Sarvas Flat is the best known,
altho shooting ism It first class there this
early in the season. The Little and the
Big Coves furnish nice shooting if a
person has a good grouse deg and can
shoot a % as the brush is too thick
for much shooting with a shot gun.
Another favored spot with many of
the local sportsmen is along the breaks
of Cottonwood creek and it is reported
that in this particular place birds are
quite plentiful. Around the head of
Lukes Gulch usually affords first class
shooting.
/ Before the LIST of October the
majority of the blue grouse will start

BIG YIELD OF OATS.

Six acres of oats combined on Mrs.
Listens place near Denver yielded
better than 100 bushels per acre. On
the same place q acres yielded 90
bushels. This report gives the best
yield of oats so far turned in and if
there are any better the excess will not
be great. The general report as to
yields of oats in this section run be-
tween so and 70 bushels and 70 bushels
is considered very good yield for this
