not less that fifty miles ahead of his

FIRE Loss Low
Less Than 100000 Acres of National Forest
Burned in 1915

Less Than 100000 Acres of National Forest
Burned in 1915
Washington. March 3l.-Forest fires
burned over not qnite 100000 acres Of
National Forest land in 1915, according
to official reports just compiled, or less
than two acres per thousand. Out Of
total of 1924 fires, BAG, or FIVE and
one-half per cent, did damage to the
amount of 800 or more.
The timber loss WAS l56, 100000 board
feet, valued at 100000 90. Although
the season was regarded as one of un-
usual exposure, owing to delayed fall
rains, the loss WAS materially below the
average of the last five years. Over
81 per cent of this loss occurred in the
states of Oregon, Washington, and Ida
no, while more than y per cent was in
Oregon alone. Besides the timber loss,
fires destroyed reproduction, of young
tree growth, of an estimated value of
100000, aud S3,407 worth of forage.
The loss per fire in 1915 was $50. Al,
which is Sl4 .03 less than the ave.year
average, while the cost of fighting each
fire was S2O.73 less.
Lightning figures as the chief cause
Of forest dres in 1915, as it does in the
average year. Twenty eight and q
half per cent Of the fires were due to
this cause. Campers caused eigeteen
per cent, which is two and half per
cent higher than the average. Eleven
per cent we're caused by brush burning.
Nearly eleven per cent were Of in
cendiary origin. Railroads were re-
spondible for nearly nine per cent of
the fires in 1915, as against fourteen
and q half per cent due to this cause in
the average year. The causes of over
fifteen per cent were unknown. Lum.
bering operations caused less than
three per cent.

of this city is picked for the first
team and several Of the other boys
for the second team. The article is az
follows:

Babcock, Belle Fourche, guard.
In going over the individual players
Of the Black Hills Righ School League
with the idea of selecting the best com.
bination, the writer has three thoughts
in mind: First, select the best field
goal scoring combination; second, the
best defensive combination, and, third,
players who play team ball.
Under, the arst head, Steinhsuer, of
Belle Fourche, is head and shoulders
above his rivals. His defensive record
is not SO good, but on his scoring
ability, Steinhauer Is chosen as the
arst player. To pick suitable running
mate for Steinbauer is difficult mat
ter since good forwards are abundant.
To be successful forward q player
must be able to cover the floor, shoot
goals and and his immediate opponent
as soon ss his team lose possession Of
the bali. He must never be over
anxious to score himself, but must be
quick to see opportunities to pass to
men approaching the basket from diff
ferent angles at speed which will carry
them to better position for shot

A EuLoGY OF THE PRAIRIE
A University Professor Describes Its Beauty
in Glowing Terms

Vermillion. March 3l-"No longer
do men fear, hate or despise the
prairie" says Wilhelm Miller of the
University of Illinois in remarkable
tribute to the glory of the prairies.
His "Religion of the Prairie" is wonder
fully expressive of the spirit and ideals
of South Dakota.
"The most creative people who ever
lived we're the Greeks" he says, "but
the greatest race the world shall ever
know will be cradled in the Middle
west. The climate and the landscape
make that certain. For the middle
west is the worlds greatest runway for
the Withstand for ideas. We have no
complicated mountain system, as
Europe, to breed endless artificial Diff
ferences Of dress. language, and
thought There is not one range be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Rockies
to stop the sweep of the winds or the
triumpha! march of mans progress. A
better way of doing things or nobler
ideal, spreads like prairie fire. An
extreme climate breeds a lusty body,
and broad landscape instils breadth Of
mind. These two forces, acting silently
throughout the centuries, will beget
corresponding breadth of soul. En-
vironment must, in time, make its
mark.
"No longer do men Fear, hate, or de-
spise the prairie. They once thought
that fiat land must ever be monoto-
nous. dali, stupefying. But q new,
virile, prairie school of art has opened
our eyes to the meaning of those vast
horizontal lines of land. crops, woods,
and the sky. which are the peculiar
glory of the prairie.
"The heavenward pointing mountain
is not the only symbol of aspiration;
the ever-stretching ocean and the
prairie are also symbols Of the Infinite.
The barren mountains and the un-
harvested sea may smite the soul with
ave, but the joyous prairie is the
worlds loveiiest reminder of Gods
endless bounty. The secret charm Of
every prairie view is the vision which
it inspires Of united and prosperous
humanity. The sublime bres 9TH of
the earth's surface stirs every one to
consecrste his life toward realizing that
vision. This is the religion of the
prairie that is getting into mems
bones. Everyone who works for the
good of his community knows what
this means.
"rhe religion of the praire is the
gospel Of beauty. The waving banners

SKIPPER IN PORT
WAS ON zEALANDIA
CAPTAIN YORK. NOW ABOARD
THE AMERICAN SCHOONER
MARGARET HASKELL, SAID TO
HAVE BEEN ON STEAMSHIP.

Shipping men heard with interest
yesterday that Captain York, aboard
the five-mass schooner Margaret Has
kell, now ready for sea, was at one
time aboard the American steamship
Zealandia, which figured In press dis
patches almost throughout the world
some months ago when It was alleged
the steamer was in the commerce
raider class, but which afterward
proved untrue
Captain York, however, was not in
command Of the Zealandis- On the
contrary, according to shipping men,
he was one of the officers, either Sec
ond or third oficer, and, as the story
went yesterday, he left the steamer
here for good reasons, returning 10
New York by train and was later
placed In command Of the present
fine schooner, which he sailed 30 Per-
nambuco, Brazil, and thence came TO
Pensacola.
The subject ig not discussed much
by Capt. York himself, except the
bare admission that he 'fhas been
here a number of times on steamers"
but he does not specify particularly
the Zealandia. He was known by
ship chambers and local maritime
men generally in steamships, and
was recognized when he was met
aboard the schooner. It was stated
yesterday that a new skipper will
take the big schooner TO Italy, per-
haps, for delivery TO her new owners.

CAPT. BERG KNOWN
TO LOCAL SHIPPERS
WAS HERE SEVERAL MONTHS
BEFORE THE OUTBREAK OF
THE WAR ABOARD GERMAN
STEAMSHIP GAMMA.

Captain Berg, In charge of the
prize crew which has the liner Appam
in custody, according to local shipping
men, has paid visits to Pensacola a
number of times, as skipper aboard
the German steamship Gamma, which
loaded here several times, and which
came here with kainit once or twice
from Germany.
His picture in the New York Her
aid was recognized by pilot few
days ago, and later search among
shipping records, shows that the
Gamma, with Captain Berg aboard,
was q frequent caller at Pensacola
before the European war.
There are two steamers having the
name of Gamma listed in the Mari
time Record, but the German Gamma
gives Berg as the captain. The other
Gamma Is Dutch, and she is in COM
mand of Captain Teensma, also
known to local shippers and those
who have been connected with ship
ping and importing Offices for some
years. The German Gamma is now
in port at Rotterdam, where she will
likely remain for some time yet. The
other steamer was last reported as
passing MADEIRA en- route to BuenoS
Ayres from Amsterdam.
