DANGER OF FIRES

The forest fires raging at Haines and vicinity, reminds us that when there are periods of dry weather there Is always great danger of forest fires Large areas of forest, public and private, are destroyed each year by fires. This destruction is an in. jury to everyone and is a great dan. ger, especially in all mountain coun. tries where regular flow of streams is of vital importance. It is also we'll at this time that the attention of the public be called to certain laws passed by congress which for bid:
 1st The setting of fires in the woods, and
 2nd. Forbid leaving camp fires and others without first extinguish- ing them.
 This law also provides a maximum punishment in a fine of $5,OO0, or i'm prisonment, or both, if fire is set maliciously, and fine of $1,OOO, or imprisonment, or both, if a fire re. suits from carelessness. This law al so provides that the money iron, such fines be paid to the school fund of the country in which the offence is committed. It is unfortunate that people will be So careless as to leave fires without extinguishing them and thereby cause the loss of valuable timber which cannot be restored for centuries, and the destruction of homes as well. It is therefore, sug- gested that since so many fires start from neglected camp fires the public be requested as follows: l. Do not build larger fire than you need
 2. Do not build your fires in dense masses of pine leaves, duff, and other combustible material where the fire is sure to spread.
 B. Do not build your fires against large logs especially rotten logs, where it requires much more worl, and time to put out the fire than you are willing to expend, and where you are rarely quite certain that the fire is really completely extinguished
 A. In windy weather and danger ous places, dig fire hole and clear off place to secure your fire.
 5. Every camp fire should be com pletely put out before leaving camp.
 6. Do not build fires to clear off land and for other similar purposes without first taking the precaution to see that the fire will not spread to the surrounding timber.
