Fire Engines Beginning.

1t was not until the close Of the
sixteenth century that the hand squirt
was introduced into England, and they
were extensively used in the great
London fire in 1866. Soon after the
commencement OF the seventeenth
century the Londoners perceived tho
convenience that would arise from
fixing these squirts to a movable els.
tern, and applying their power through
the means Of lever, and the first en-.

DROWNED WHEN BOAT UPSET
Albert Lach of the Falls Lost His Life in Yanc River Sat.
day Might've Other Men Reached Shore-Body
Found Floating Shortly After, But Efforts at Resusca-
ton Failed.

Three men In a boat, two Of them
said TO have been intoxicated, were
upset in the east branch Of the Yam
tic river near the Industrial build
ing Saturday night about 7.30 o'clock
and one Of them, Albert Lach. A, Of
140 Yantic street, was drowned.
The other two. Michael Warzecha of
lis Yantic street, and John Borofsld,
who lived in the same house with
Lach, managed to save themselves,
crawling out on the bank in the inxy
black darkness at this spot and walk
ing up Washington street to their
homes without spreading any alarm
about their drowned companion.
That a man had been drowned first
became known when woman by the
name Of Rinkavich, who had seen the
three in the boat. sent her husband
to tell Policeman Charles McFadden
probably 20 or rs minutes after the
accident. The\ officer was found on
his beat on the West Side and he
went at once to the spot where the
drowning had taken place.
By that time the body of Lach had
doated to the surface and was to be
seen in the water about 80 yards north
of the Central Vermont railroad tres
tie. Some Polish men who were on
the scene told the policeman that the
body was still warm and they thought
the man was still alive so that off,

dectiy from the government without
cost. instead OF having to pay from
$40 TO so an acre to land spectators.
For example. on the Kanisksu National
Forest IN Idaho and Washington. the
governments timber sales have been
made to include much of the remaining
timbered agricultural land. Within
eight years fully 10000 acres will be
made available for settlement. Per-
manent homes viii be established by
the settlers, and there win be available
for the use OF communities approx
mately s225.000 for roads and schools,
their legal share Of the proceeds from
the timber sales. Private ownership
Of heavily timbered agricultural land
blocks farming development, says the
such development under conditions
that give opportunities to the small
settler whose only capital is his
strength and courageous perseverance.
One of the most serious agricultural
problems Of the northwest today is
the development Of the logged-off
lands in private ownership. In Oregon
and Washington alone more than three
million acres of such logged-off lands
are lying idle, although much Of this
area has fine agricultural soil and a
climate that insures abundant crops
and the development OF thriving COM
munities. Yet in this same region
hundreds Of settlers are seeking to
find places in the national forests,
usually remote from transportation,
high IN the mountains, where the
climate is harsh and the soil relatively
poor, simply because the good lands at
lower levels outside the forests are
held by the spectators at prohibitive
prices. The true solution of the prob
lem OF agriculture In such sections is
to develop the rich loged-off private
lands that lie outside the forests. and
- h. Il
tural lands within the forests.
To show how thoroug Is the land
classification work Of the Forest Ser
vice. the Kootenai Valley in Montana
may be taken as an example, Continues
the article. Here a large river winds
for $50 miles through the national
forest At many points steep. de11sely
forested hills drop down to the waters
edge, making the valley a gorge or
canyon. Here and there bars in the
river have resulted in deposits of silt,
forming long, narrow bottoms, or level
islands. which are very fertile. Part
way UP the mountain slopes occasional
benches Of land afford few acres of
fertile soil. At fret II was supposed
to throw out the entire valley, a strip
three miles in width on either side OF
the river. Ninety-five per cent. fthis
belt, however, is non-agricultural land
whose cultivation should not be at
tempted. Its best use to a local COM
munity. as well as to the country
at large. is for timber growing. So
instead Of opening the whole valley to
public entry by settlers. the Forest
Service has painstakingly surveyed
every little river bottom, island, OF
bench. which contains enough arabic
land to'suport a. home. Many of these
patches are small, but their soil Is SO
fertile that homes can be maintained
on them by intensive truck farming
or orcharding. In this fashion, more
than three hundred farms have been
carved out Of this valley Of the Koo-
tenai National Forest.

Is difference between believing and
knowing, he said. Times change, and
each generation mourns the loss of

he wanted to be true and q man. Co

Religion Is not the most serious thing
in the world Life is, he affirmed. but
you can never solve hfe's problems and
get the most out of it unless you're in
right relations to God and have re-
Hgion as the key. 1t is not necessary
to believe in the life to come. Do
you believe in the life that is?
In graphic manner Mr.. Holloway

LETTERS OF GERMAN
PRISONERS TAMPERED WITH.
In An Effort by France to Secure
Military News From Relatives and
Friends.

Berlin, Aug s.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-Because let
tiers received from German prisoners of
war in France apparently have been
tempered with-by the French CEN
sor 1t is charged-the authorities
have found 1t necessary to issue a
warning including AMI information of
a military character in communicas
lions from relatives to prisoners.
A recent letter from a prisoner eon-
tanned the surprising request to his
relatives to write him all they could
about the war. An examination of
the writing showed, however, that the
prisoner CO war had written exactly
the opposite, and that his handwriting
had been initiated in changing his
Injunction.
Similarly. he had written that letters
to him should be sent unsealed. This
Injunction, too, had been altered to
read that his relatives might seal their
letters, conveying the impression,
along with the request for war news,
that he was in a position to receive
uncensored communications.
The German authorities declare they
are convinced that it was the inten-
ton of tho French government to Sc
cure in this manner, military news
Of value, advance word of intended op-
erations, troop positions and the like.
They urge relatives. therefore, to
limit themselves in their letters to the
barest needful information of non-mii-
ltary character.

LAND SPECTATORS
BLOCK SETTLEMENT.
Forest Service Statement Says Western
Farming Problem Can Be Solved by
Development of Logasd-off Tracts.

Washington, August S.-During the
last decade, the Forest Service has
classified as agricultural and opened
to public entry more than is, 500 indi-
viduai scattered tracts of land in the
national forests, comprising more than
1.7oO,00 acres, says an article by the
Chief Forester, published in the Year
Book, Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Just issued. Within the last two
years, in addition. several large blocks
have been eliminated aggregating more
than 100000 acres, while nearly o.
900, 900 acres more are now under con-
sideration for elimination. All the re-
manning agricultural land in the ma
tional forests is confined chiefly In
isolated tracts scattered here and
there: to restricted areas requiring
irrigation, where water can not be OBJ
tanned; and TO certain river bottoms
and benches which are not covered
with very heavy and valuable timber.
A constant pressure Is being brought
TO bear on the government by private
individuals who want to- acquire pos
session of these heavily stimbered aE-
ricultural lands. single quarter-sec-
tons OF which often have q value as
high as $4,000 for the timber alone.
In spite of the fact that some OF these
lands>have soil suitable for agriculture,
to throw them open as homesteads
would not result in farm development
This has been proven over and over
again where lanoS OF THIS klnos &C
quired under the Homestead Law. are
today held not by homesteaders but
by lumber companies, passed from the
government-a speculative process
which effectively prevents men Of
small means from acquiring land and
establishing homes.
The government is withholding from
agricultural entry all such heavily
timbered land until after the timber Is
cut on. AS soon as this II done. the
