NOTICE.

The Town Council hereby gives no- tice that on and after this date the provisions of Ordinance No. 14 will be strictly enforced. This ordinance requires any person or corporation who desires to erect, alter, repair or remove any building within the cor porate limits of the town of Cordova to make written application to the town clerk to secure a permit to do such work. Section of said ordi- nance is as follows:
 Any owner, builder or contractor who shall violate any of the provisions of the above section shall be fined in a sum not less than five ($5) dollars nor more than one hundred ($100,0O) dollars for each offense."
 EDWARD F. MEDLEY,
 Town Clerk.

dynamite that also are used for signal ing purposes. At these depots are store materials for fire fighting pur. poses and highly specialized appara- tus.
 Rigid rules have been laid down for persons camping in the woods, and the fire permit system has les sened the number of fires very appre- ciably. The greatest loss comes from the negligent pleasure seekers who drop lighted matches in the grass and low brush The fire permit cards can be obtained either at the general of
 flee or off any ranger, and there is no expense attached to 1t. The good accomplished by this arrangement ap- pears in the fact that when a fire breaks out 1t is possible to know who had a permit to build fire in that territory, for a close record Is kept of the permits issued.
 The fire permit card authorizes the holder to build camp fires on the na- tionai forest land between certain dates, provided the following require ments are complied with: To build small fires only; to build fires in the open, and not against a tree or log within twenty feet of standing brush; to scrape away all leaves and trash from around the fire; to never leave fire unattended even for a short time without first extinguishing it; to extinguish fires first with water, then cover with dirt; bonfires are not al. lowed. It is further provided that when camp is moved the ground must be left in a clean and sanitary con dition. Bathing or wading in streams is prohibited Another warning is that the match, cigar or cigarette must positively be extinguished before it is thrown away.
 The vastness of the task of the for est service may be realized from the fact that there are approximately 100000 acres to be guarded from destruction. These are contained in i55 national forests located In the Rocky mountain states and those of the Pacific Slope. TO accomplish this there is a force of forest rangers who are under civil service and other em- ployees who are not, but who yet are available in case of need. This com bined force numbers approximately 10000 men.

SOME or OUR "PROSPEKITY''

Gradually the real facts are leaking
out regarding the increase in railroad
earnings and the congestion Of freight
~ the Atlantic scahoard Incroased
railroad earnings have been pointed

prosperity But let us look at the
facts that account for the increase.
Demand for vessels to carry war sup

portion of the ships formerly engaged
IN coastwisc trade to be withdrawn, so
that much freight that would normal

sites have been offered on which to
build and It is expected that one of
them will be purchased within the

Every union laborer is urging the
erection of building and it is eX-
pected that enough stock VIII be sub
scribed for by members that work can
be started within a few weeks.
