ASK ADAMLESS EDEN
Illinois Girls Want to Have Col
ony In Far West.
Suggest That Governor of Wyoming
Procure for Them a bad Lands"
Tract as Soon as Possible.

Bloomington, nl.-A group Of Kane
county girls plan to found an "Adam-
less Eden" in Wyoming or some other
far western state.
Miss Nellie Grant Is sponsor for the
movement and has written to Gov. r.
D. Carey for his assistance in starting
a woman's colony far from the haunts
Of man. In making her unique request,
Miss Grant stated that the party will
be made up of twenty, Of whom ten
are employed in a watch factory, seven
are housekeepers, two are nurses and
n Is a school teacher.
All are dissatisfied with their lot and
assert that the future holds forth
nothing that is sufficiently encourag-
ing to warrant their remaining at
home. They believe that they can
make a success of farming and would
like to obtain q section Of land, $40
acres, In some unsettled region, far
from a railroad and little frequented
by man.
Miss Grant suggested to the Wyo-
ming executive a tract In southwest
ern Wyoming known as the bad
Lands" and which is really a desert.
No mar will be allowed about the
| premises.
Governor Carey admitted that it was
the most unusual request that he had
ever received. He turned the letter
over to the immigration commissioner
| with a suggestion that he do every
thing In his power to find such a tract
for the party from Illinois.
The young women are ready to pay
for the tract, but have limited funds,
and can only finance a section that hts
not yet felt the advancing tide Of civ
ilization in the way of price. Some
members of the proposed colony object
to Wyoming and believe that Montana
or idaho offer greater possibilities.
The decision. however, has been left
with Miss Grant and the choice will
follow the investigation of various sites
now being made. In anticipation Of
the. establishment of the colony, the
various members are studying diligent-
ly the subject of farming and stock
raising.
They are ambitious in their plans
and propose to utilize tractors and
trucks instead of horses, and will In
troduce other up-to-date methods on
the western frontier. They are also
studying irrigation. All of the young
women are becoming familiar with a
revolver and rifle and will be prepared
to defend their colony against any
unwelcome intruders.

though it meant putting an extra

FEARLESS MALES SOUGHT
Husky Man Who Is Willing to Work
Looks aood az Million Dollars to
OfficIais Of United States
Forestry Service.

Spokane, Wash.-One Of the biggest
industries" Of the northwest this sum-
mel Is the fighting Of forest fires.
A good, husky man, with two strong
arms and a willingness to work, looks
as good as a million dollars to the Of
fcials Of the United States forestry
service, and the big lumber concerns,
who are losing vast values In timber.
There is a famine in men. That Is
the great reason fires. started by care
less campers or lightning storms, have
been able to spread over many miles
of Americas richest lumber lands and
cause damage that will not be replaced
for a generation.
One large fire In the Pack river dis
trict, northern Idaho, burst entirely
beyond control and spread over forty
five square miles Of territory without
showing the least signs of dying down.
Men to fight It were few and far be-
tween.
War Against Flames.
In Spokane as well as the coast
cities the forest service Is waging re-
cruiting campaigns similar TO those
carried on during the war. II Is a
war-against flames almost as destruc-
tive to America as the flames that
broke out In Europe.
Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered
veterans of the forest life, make the
finest fire fighters. This summer they
have had little chance to engage In
their regular work Of cutting timber,
and have bent all their efforts to saw
ing the forests that house the nation.
The forest service maintains a cease
less lookout. As soon as smoke is dis
cerned the news Is flashed to head
quarters; a crew is hastily recruited
and equipped, and sent into the burns
Ing area with full supplies Of food,
tools and bedding.
But they have little chance to use
the bedding. Fire fighting is an all
night all-day job.
How Fire lie Beaten.
The only successful method of stop
ping q fire is to get In front. of 1t,
clear a wide trail, and widen 1t by
backfring.
A slight change Of wind win make
the back fire cross the trail and en-
danger the workers lives.
Blazing trees frequently fall with
the wind, across the trail, and undo
the work Of a day. The lumberjack
is as expert at tree lodging as he Is
at playing poker.
