and cut from green logs contains from
four hundred TO five hundred pounds
of water. Nearly all fresh-cut wood

Forest Fires Raging

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. A.
Because Of extreme drouth in
Rapides, Grant, LaSaIIe, Caldwell
and adjoining parishes, forest
fires have broken out and are
raging in Rapides and Grant
parishes, destroying all the
young timber, with indications
OF spreading to adjoining par
ishes if not checked soon.
The fires have covered many
miles of cut-over lands in Grant
and Rapides where young timber
was just beginning to give prom
Use.
The forest fires in Grant and
Rapides have been raging for
sevesal weeks, destroying not
only the future forests and
large timber, but everything else
within reach, and now threatens
smaller villages.
A drouth never before wit
messed by the oldest inhabitants
Grant, Rapides, LaSalle and
Caldwell parishes is being en-
dured this fall.
In some sections the wells have
all become dry and drinking
water has to be hauled for miles,
causing some inhabitants to de-
sert their homes through fear Of
perishing.
Crops have suffered seriously
by the lack Of rain, some PROV
ing total failures, while others
will fall below cost of production.
Water is so scarce IN those
parishes" said harry Wilson

returned to the city Friday, after
attending fairs held at Tallulah
and Ola, that when | drove up
in front of a mans gaze and ask
cd for a drink he gave it to me
as though it was some costly

hauled it three miles.
Regardless of the drouth and
fires in that section, Commission
err Wilson says both of the fairs
were very successful; that the
exhibits were good and attend
ance large. New Orleans Item.
