are still burning. They are being
fought by the State Forest Service
and unless change in weather comes
these fires may become serious.
The fires are so located they are hard
to fight and should high winds occur
it is hard to estimate what the
damage will be.
These fires were first discovered by
the D. S. Lookout observer on the
Cascade Lookout rs miles away.
1t would seem that the least that the
persons who are responsible for the
fires could have done would have
been to report them and give
such assistance as they could, rather
than sneak away without giving some
warning. 1t is very evident that
there are still few among US who
have very little consideration for life
and property, and who should be
taken care of rather than be left to
run at large. The majority should
| not be made to suffer for the
carelessness of a few persons who
have no sense of responsibility or
interest in the community in which
| they live. The Forests, streams and
lakes belong to all the people and
must be protected by them and not
allowed to be destroyed by few
Irresponsible persons.
Let us all be care full of fire and do
all we can to teach others to be
careful, and when some few persist
in starting fires see that they are
porperly taken care of and the time
will soon come when such as are
now burning will not occur.
The State Relief Board has ap-
propriated $4,000 with which to
complete construction of the Isabelle
Finland Firebreak Road. This road
will give an outlet to some ESQ people
living in the Isabelle country, and
will give an added fire protection to
valuable timber resources lying be-
tween Ely and Finland.

by young housewife, who, seeing her
lack Of familiarity with modern house

She showed Aunt Dinah her small
silver.service bell-there were no cleo
trio bells In the old-fashioned house
and told her that when it was rung
she must come into the dining room.
Aunt Dinah said she understood. A
few days later the mistress was seated
on the broad veranda with a friend
when she heard a tremendous clangor
from the direction Of the kitchen. 1t
came nearer swiftly and soon identi-
fed itself as the sound Of large bell.
Puzzled, the housewife entered the
hall and there stood Aunt Dinah,
swinging a large dinner bell vigorous
