Forest Fires.

Saturday morning a fire broke
out in the Medicine Bow forest
reserve and Milt Ames, forest ran
ger, was notified and within four
hours had 48 men and all neces
sary supplies we'll on the road
to fight fire. This shows pretty
fast work on the part of the for
est service. The fire is now under
control and practically out. 1t
was nearly 20 miles around it and
had burned some of the very best
timber on that reserve.
Monday morning a FIRE broke
out to the west of the valley in
the Hayden national forest at the
head of Cow creek near Silver
Lake. This fire was stopped af-
ter it had burned over about two
miles of territory, doing little
damage. A crew of men from here
and Encampment did the work.
Mountains and ranges are so
dry from lack of rains that fires
are expected at any moment. The
fire in the Medicine Bow was
caused from combustion in a saw
mill, and the origin of the fire in
the Hayden forest was unknown.
The forest officials are we'll equip
ped and have things ready at a
moments notice to go to q fire in
any part of the reserves. More
danger this year from fires than
in years.

CHARITY CANVASS
To Be CONTINUED
Only About Half of The City
Was Covered During the
Past Week.

Because the collections during the
Good Will campaign were more than
s25,00O less than what had been ex-
pected. the solicitors will continue
their work through this week. Only
half of the city has been covered by
those who were making the canvass
for the members OF the South Benz
Federation for Social Service, and it
is believed that when the people who
have not been visited are seen, the
total amount will be nearer what had
been expected.
With the addition Of Saturdays re-
ceipts, which were $1,110.16, the total
amount collected was $14,400.72. At
the start of the campaign the direc-
tors Of the federation had expected
to take in about $4,000, but the col
lections on the opening day were be-
low the average that was needed to
make possible this amount.
AS the total stands now, IL Is more
than $1,000 less than was collected last
year, when the solicitors took in $22,-
600. Last year the Good VIII cam
paign was a new idea and very little
time had been given TO arrangements
for the collections. This year an ex-
tensive publicity campaign was car
rlSQ on.
1t is thought that when the receipts
for this week are announced that the
collections will be more, or ct least as
much as last year A number of con-
tributors who gave money during the
1914 campaign have not been seen
and they are expected TO increas
considerably the amount that has al
ready been taken in
Pledge cards were distributed in all
of the churches Sunday and the
received through these
sources will probably bring up the
total The reports of the money re-
ceivej from the churches will not be
ready until after the services next
Sunday.
Team No. s did the best work Sat
urday. turning in S4ZS.06. Nineteen
squads, together with the trustees, re-
ported Saturday night, this being one
of the best records OF any OF the days
of the regular campaign.
