FOREST FIRES SERIOUS
Doing Great Damage at Several
places in Vermont.


Ludlow, April 26-Word has reach
ed this place Of disastrous forest
fire in the town OF Plymouth near the
Reading town line which has destroy
ed the farm buildings on what is
known as the Horace w Tenney
farm and ruined the valuable growth
OF young timber on between 90 and
90 acres of land in that section.
The buildings, which had not been
occupied for some time, were owned
by George Merrill OF Ludlow and
were not insured.
1t required hard work upon the
part OF large number Of volunteer
fire fighters to subdue the flames
but conditions in the woods are such
that fire once started is bound to
sweep over a large territory.
Unless rain falls within few days
conditions in the forests in Windsor
county will make lumbermen exceed
ingly apprehensive.
Word comes from several towns
TO the south and west that small
fires have been extinguished in the
mountain regions. presumably start
ed by fishermen through the careless
use of matches, cigars and cigarettes.
East Concord. April 26.-Not for 20
years, say veteran lumber operators,
has Essex county faced such FIRE
hazard because OF dry conditions as
exists this year. In this sparsely set
tied country forest fire, once under
Roadway, would burn rapidly and de-
stroy millions Of feet of timber ready
for the logger's axe next fall and win
ter. In a number OF instances in this
vicinity automobile tourists have
carelessly thrown matches beside the
highway starting fires which, forum
ately, have caused no damage
