FIRES WERE COSTLY
More Money Paid Out This
Year Than In 1910.

Boise, Idaho. Failure of Idaho
private corporations to assume
their fire responsibilities and in
efficiency of "Wobbly" workmen
were alike instrumental in making
1919 the "most disastrous year" in
the history of forest fire fighting in
the state, declared |. H. Nash, state
land commissioner, Saturday, as he
reviewed results of the convention
of state forest protective associa-
tions at Spokane. The commits
sioner has just returned from north
Idaho and Washington.
"The actual destruction OF
timber this year was not so great
as in 1910, ''said the commissioner,
"but the area burned over was
greater and the cost was greater.
The worst previous years were
1910 and 1914, but the 1919 eSti-
mate is one and one half times that
of 1870"
Lack of finances has hindered
the state work, the commissioner
explained. He said the private
corporations, starting forest fires
by burning their slashings, have
failed to assume their just proper,
ton of the FIRE protective expense,
throwing the whole burden upon
the associations and the state.
Under this understanding, the state
has refused to pay some fire claims
this year and an investigation will |
be ordered to ascertain what
portion of the expense involved |
should have been or should be
borne by private organizations.

FROZEN WATER PIPES
ThaWing With Electricity
Again In Vogue.

The village board and the elec-

wrestle this week with the problem
OF thawing frozen water mains and
service pipes. The problem was
not one Of getting the electricity to

it becomes menace to public
safety. II has been found difficult

ups, unaware of the danger, from
coming close to the wire and STEP
ping over it.
The problem was solved at a
special meeting Of the trustees
Monday night, when it was decid-
ed that it was practicable construct
seven or eight portable "a" towers
with insulators to keep the wire at
respectable distance above
ground. III. r. Saunders, local
manager, learned Monday from MIR.
Shields OF the electric company,
that using the wires on the ground
was absolutely prohibited, altho
this was the method used in past
winters.
This is the first time in three
years that water mains have been
frozen in Rathdrum. Dead
hydrants were reported in various
parts of town Sunday. On Monday
morning a main on south McCart-
ney street was thawed out bur
froze up again about 5 o'clock in,
