Expenses Of
Forest Fires
SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR 1915
Fires Not so Many or Dangerous as in 1914
Many Caused by CareleSsneSS

The Supervisor of the Coeur
d'Alene National Forest has made
his annual fire report. Although
the fire season OF 1915 was not
so serious and dangerous as the
season of 1914, it was quite SER
iOus for several weeks in August.
The danger period in 1915 did
not commence until about Aug.
!, up until which date the woods
were kept from too rapid drying
out by frequent showers in July
and earlier. There were i46
fires on this Forest in 1915;
lightning caused 80 of them, or
Sc per cent, while human agen-
cies caused the remainder, Ga,
or IA per cent. The number OF
fires set by campers and berry
pickers is especially significant,
as the fires from this source
alone numbered 80 or % per cent
of the total. An increasing num-
Der of campers, it is gratifying
to state, exercise every means to
prevent camp fires from spread
ing, but there are still a large
number who through careless
ness and thoughtlessness leave
their fires burning when they
break camp.
In all. 1895 acres were burned
over within the boundaries of the
Occur d'Alene National Forest but
fortunately this area was mainly
brush and slash land. $1,000
board feet of merchantable tim
Der was destroyed, but this was
mostly of a quality and species
having a low market value; the
loss in timber destroyed is thus
only $4,000.
It cost S7,925.75 to fight fires
on this Forest in 1915; Of this
sum the Occur d'Alene Timber
Protective Association under its
cooperative agreement with the
Forest paid s575.8O. For ex-
tinguishing fires which burned
outside the Forest boundary but
which threatened to run into the
Forest, S2,533.3i was expended
Ranchers and others living on thu
edge Of the Forest were some.
what careless in 1915 with thei
brush disposal fires, several sucl
fires having assumed serious
proportion. Some ranchers di'
not appreciate the liability TO
damages or punishment they lai
themselves open to by not pro
curing brush-burning permits o
by neglecting to properly tax
care of fires for which permit
were issued. Figured on a
acre basis, it cost trifle over on
cent an acre to fight the fires G
1915, and only one-twentieth q
one per cent of the area of tn
Forest was burned over, a yer
gratifying result when one con
siders the very valuable resource
at stake and the high fire hazar
obtaining in this part Of tn
state.

positively, recalling the rather agree able pungent odor of the other gases.
 "Then we must be very cautious" said the chemist. Place yourself about a foot away from the bottle. will raise the glass stopper the slightest possible fraction of an inch, so that only an insignificant portion of gas can escape - but 1t will be enough. Now, ready"
 He drew the stopper the slightest particle, and only for an instant, with 1 Colonel Cosby a foot away. But in | that instant the colonel felt he had been hurled back twenty feet. Tongues of fire were eating at his throat, and i ten thousand needles were darting around his neck. It seemed as though i live vitrior had been emptied in his mouth and was coursing through his veins. His whole vocal system was paralyzed. This infinitesmial portion of the deadly gas had, in an instant, oyerpowered him.
 It was some little time before Col onel Cosby was in a position to discuss his tests. The chief chemist said the 1 effect would continue some hours and probah!y some days. It would be most i observable, he said, in eating and drinking.
 Colonel Cosby took an auto home. his throat still on fire, but not other wise physically affected That night every mouthful of dinner had the un- mistakable taste of the poison gas; each draught of water had the same taste of the deadly gas; an deven the puffs of a cigar had the taste of so puffs of this death dealing gas - al ways the fiery needles and so many draughts of vitriol Colonel Cosby could speak to his family only in in articulate whispers. They were natu- rally concerned over the possible af- ter effects.
 When Colonel Cosb ysaw a doctor the neyt day the throat was found to be in q very bad condition, as from an acute attack of laryngitis. The colonel continued on his duties, but for week he could speak only ill whispers It was ten days before the clutch of the poison gas on the throat had been relaxed enough to let him speak again in ful lyoice.
 "7hat'S a bad case of laryngitis, 9 said the Russian ambassador.
 "Yes," whispered Colonel Cosby, "an acute form, recently discovered by German scientists a form that kills"

sUSITNA RIVER CLAIMS
 ANOTHER VICTIM.

ANCHORAGE, July 5. - Fred Lo- per, who has a piling contract with the commission on the little Susitna river brought in the body of a 12- year-old Indian maiden yesterday that he found on Susitna flats. The body was badly decomposed and was buried as soon as the coroner's in- quest was finished. The verdict was that the young maiden had met death hy accidental drowning, presumably further up the river and floated down when the ice broke up this spring, as she showed evidence of having been in the water for at least two months.
 So far there are no traces of rela- tiyes or connections, but it is under stood that some members of her tribe, the Matanuska Indians, will be down today, who may be able to explain more about the case. There was no evidence of foul play or suspicious of any character connected with the case.-Times.

THIRD BEST COTTON CROP.

WASHINGTON, July IS. -~ High prices of cotton and cotton seed has encouraged farmers in the cotton belt to increase their acreage this year substantially over last years area, re- sulting in a total of 35,994,O00 acres, according to the official estimate of the department of agriculture, an nounced today.
 The condition of the crop - S1.1 per cent of normal on June 25 - in dicates that the total production of lint this year will be about 14,266,0O0 equivalent 50O-pound bales, the bureau of crop estimates calculates. That yield would place this years crop the third largest ever known, only those of 1911 and 1914 being larger.

Sormont farm, taken by the French
is only two miles from Peronne, an
adjoins its suburban houses. The TN.
portance which the Germans attach
to this point is shown In their fierce
counter attack last night when they
rushed the French lines back to the
village Belloyen Santerreu, which
they momentarily held. This village
lies between Assevilers and Estrees,
both held by the French so that the
German rush temporarily made a
dent in the French advance. This
dent was quickly Strengthened out as
fierce hand to hand fighting placed
the town again in French hand1.
Many Prisoners Are Taken
The number of German prisoners
taken is now close to 10000, while
the extent of the munitions captured
Is shown in the fact that sixty guns
were taken by single army corps.

Villistas Holding Towns.

Ell Paso, April 5.-Consul Garcia to-
Gay declared that he had received adj
vices that Villistas are occupying the
towns of Naiaca, Santa Gertrudes,
Satevo and other towns, and that Gen.
eral Gurtieres has asked for more
troops to take the field against them
Reports coming in from many quar-
ters in Mexico and the extension of
the American lines far to the south
ward is unquestionably increasing the
feeling of anxiety in all quarters, and
mobilization of a large army by Car
rama close to the border, where, if the
rama close to the border, wehre, if the
men should break from the control OF
the first chief, they would be in po-
sition to work great harm to the
American troops.
That the war department is
strengthening the forces in Mexico
to the utmost is an indication that
the anxiety is felt at Washington as
well as here.
