To Prevent Prairie Fires.
Drastic action on the part of farm
ers of North Dakota for the proven
ton of prairie fires, and the punish
ment of those who set them is recon-
mended by State Fire Marshal A. H.
Runge in his annual report.
There should be no hell on earth
created by the hand Of man to burn
the living to DEATH" declares Marshal
Runge. He urges that the farmers Of
every township unite for the proven
tion of prairie fires and to take meas
lies to bring the guilty to justice
when such fires are wantonly set.
The report in part is as follows:
Much property and number Of
lives are sacrificed each year in North
Dakota by prairie fires, many of which
are started through carelessness.
This needless waste OF human lives,
as well as accumulated property.
should be reduced to the minimum.
By consulting sections 2191 to 1896,
compiled laws OF North Dakota. 1918,
ample means will be found therein for
the protection of the farmers of the
state, as well as for the punishment Of
all offenders against the state in the
matter OF setting fires, other than as
provided by law. and it is up to the
communities themselves to see that
these laws are strictly enforced"
