Rural carriers 10 Report Forest Fires

Postmaster Alexander Gilman re- eeived advice from the department that in accordance with q request Of the secretary Of agriculture, a plan of cooperation with the state and nation al forest officers has been maae, where by rural and star route carriers shall report forest fires discovered by them along the routes to persons designated by the state and national authorities 10 receive such intelligence.
 Cooperation with state officers twill be given in states which have estab' lished by law 6 system Of fire protec- ton. The state md national authori. ties will inform postmHsters AS To whom discovery Of fires should be re- ported, and each rural carrier sshould be directed 10 cooperate 10 the fullest extent with such authorities in the manner agreed upon, namely thet the carrier shall report a fire to the nearest fire warden or national forest officer on his route, or, if no such officer lives on the route, to arrange through some re sponsible citizen to have him notify by telephone if possible.
 In the spring land early summer several bad forest fires occurred in this section. It Is believed that the gov. ernment's plan Will result in fewer sc rious fires.
