Death Of All Lee.

Cotton wood Chronicle: All Lee,
an old %Chinaman who had beer liv-
ing alone for many years on Salmon
river, we st of Keuterville, was found
dead Sunday near his cabin. he
evidently died of old age. as he was
about 100 years old. as near as his
acquaintance could figure out. Lee
followed mining at Elk City in this
county many years ago, and Au-
gust Schroeder, who was well ac-
quainted with him, says that Lee
was a v cry old man when he first
came to Salmon River 35 years ago.
Neighbors gave the old Chinaman
a decent burial under a pine tree or
the Schr oeder place near Lees cab

"WHY PEOPLE SHOULD BE
CAREFUL WITH FIRE IN A
FOREST


By Clement Shafer, Genesee Idaho.
Does everyone realize what a few
glowing embers or a burning match,
left carelessly in a forest. may do?
Last summer $591,760 worth of
property was destroyed by forest
fires in the forested regions of Mon
tana and Northern Idaho and
$S56,344 was spent in eXtinguish-
ing these fires. Now Sc per cent
of this destruction was caused by
human agency. During the last
five years $1,000, 600 worth of dam
age has been done owe these dis
tricts and $1.46S,384 has been ex
pended in surpressing this agent.
A large part of these great sums
could have been saved if the people
had been careful with fire.
, This carelessness is also going
to cause a timber shortage sooner
or later for trees fit for use cannot
grow in a year or ten years ano
during this critical time the neces-
sity of preserving lumber is very
urgent.
The natural of oul
country, of which the forests are
an important part, constitute the
biggest security we have for oul
Government Loans.
Often also lives are lost and hun
dreds' are made homeless and theil
property destroyed by these devas
tating conflagrations. Now thinl
of the money, labor and possibl.
lives you can save by being careful
with fire around the forests. i
it not worth the small amount o
labor needed to watch and put gu
your fires? Think about it!

serving our country in any line of

FIRE

BY Ella Kohlar of Hope, Idaho.
Fire can wipe out in an hour OF
Two the work of many decades and
it is obvious that the forester, who
must wait on IN average of one
hundred years for results, would be
less results were reasonably certain.
The cause of fires are many, such
as careless campers, land clearing,
etc, but most any of these can be
avoided if the right precautions are
taken.
The first thing to do is TO have a
good fire-law which every person
should conscientiously obey. Then
prevention thru legislation and ed
ucation is an excellent plan. In
some sections it is impossible to en-
force the law against setting fires,
but If every person, especially the
common people are educated in for
estry enough to know what harm
and damage fires do, there wouldn't
be so many fires set through car
lessness.
The only natural causes of fire
are friction and lightning, but as
such fires are most likely to be set
during a rain they are not apt to
do much damage. So it seems plain
to most people that fires are gener-
ally set thru carlessness.
1t isn't likely that anyone would
go to the city, start a fire carelessly
and leave 1t burning, SO why should
people be allowed to go to the for
ests and destroy them in Just such
a way?

THE PREVENTION of FOREST
FIRES"
By Irene j.. Cox Of Lewiston, Idaho.

Some of the most valuable prop
erty owned by the United States
are the Forest Reserves.
The first attitude toward the for
est was to consider them SO abun-
dant as to be more Of a nuisance
than a They were hewed
down recklessly to prepare the way
for agriculture, and were neglected
where they were not destroyed. Lat
err, people and the Government itself
was waning, and tho still plentiful,
was not, as supposed, unlimited; the
forest then began to be treated as
agricultural crops, which when de
stroyed' must be renewed, and now
the forests are not being protected
and controlled for the Individual
within and benefit of the present
generation, but that they will yield
a constant maximum product from
one generation to another.
One passing thru the great forests
of the Northwest would think this
unnecessary, but again when you
think of the many furniture and
box factories, lumber yards and now
at the present time when the United
States is building the great ocean
vessels and the large cantOnments,
and will soon be building numerous
airships, one soon changes his view
point and wonders where the neces-
sary lumber is all going to cons
from.
But these great forests are in
great danger of fire. Every veal
people go to the mountains for
few days camping. They built
their camp fires; later they nov

pour a little water over the fire ant

FOREST FIRES BIG MENACE,
WARNS FOREST OFFICIALS

Missoula, Montana, June IL,
1915 1t is estimated by officials
of District One of the Forest Ser
vice tha nearly five hundred men
are already engaged in fighting for
est fire in Montana and Northern
Idaho. Large fires are burning on
the Flathead, Gallatin n Helena
National Forests in Montana, and
in the st. Joe region in Idaho. The
location of the fires indicates that
dangero us conditions exist all over
the Dis trict.
Indie ations point to a rire season
ever W prse than that in 1917. since
1t is starting fully a month earlier.
Last year there were thousands of
idle men who could be secured for
fire fighting: this year every man
is engaged in some productive work.
In many places County Councils
of Defe nse are joining the State and
Federal Forest officers In an active
campaign against carlessness with
fire near timbered areas. The move
ment OF preventing fires from start
ing ms tead of putting them out af-
ter they have started is rapidly
spreading and seems to be the only
practical solution to the difficulty.
