The possibility of dangerous
spring and summer fire season in the
national forests in the west is pre-
saged by reports that two forest fires
occurred in January and that the
Snowfall has been much below nor
NAL. January fires are almost I'M
heard of in the national forests and
the snow reports are regarded as es-
pecially significant, as they indicate
that unless the deficiency is made up
the forests will be dry earlier in the
spring than usual, with consequent
increase of the fire menace. The
January fires occurred in the Pike
forest, in Colorado, and the Black
Hills forest, in South Dakota, the
latter believed to have been of in
cendiary origin, according to the Dis.
trict Forester at Denver. About u
