FOREST FIRES LESS
NUMEROUS IN 1920

While a number of small fires has
tended to keep the local forest service
officials on edge and jumping side
ways at the least sign or smell of
smoke, they are nevertheless optimis-
tic rel the prospects of a favorable
fire season. At least, they can heave
great signs of relief when they look
back upon the years 1910 and 1913,
which can never be erased from the
memory of those who helped in the
demon fire those two summers, says
the latest issue of the bulletin pub
lished by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, with Offices at
Ogden, Utah. Although they knock
wood when they dare to even think
it, the general telling is that their
well organized fire fighting forces,
coupled with a reasonably favorable
fire season, will mean a gratifying
conservation of our timber resources
this summer.
The first note of danger was
sounded this summer by the Bridger
in Wyoming, and along about June
30 the first skirmish occurred on the
Pavette, in Idaho. with a small light
ming" fire which was ex~tinguished at
slight cost and with few Casualties
to the timber.
During the first part of July things
began to warm up" on the Boise, Pa
vette, Salmon and Teton. Heavy cleo
trical storms with but slight rain left
trails of small fires in their wake.
This condition has been worst on the
Pavette, where two storms recently
started a total of sixty-five fires. The

which we now wear, we wore the plain
sailor hats, which is also still part
Of the army uniform. l shall never
forget the evening before we sailed.
They had a big meeting for US in
Liverpool, and at the end of the SER
vice the General prayed for the sue
cess of our efforts in the foreign land.
He ended the prayer with these words:
"Oh, Lord, if these women are not
right, drown them on the way over,
drown them, drown them!"
None Of US were drowned.
Another thing that I distinctly re-
member was the first time we were
arrested. We had been holding ser
vices on street corner downtown in
New York City, when a gang of hood
lums began to boot us. The crowd
swelled and the hooting increased,
but we kept right on. After about
half an hour several policemen ap.
peared and scattered the crowd, then
they came to us and asked us to fol-
low them. l thought they were very
kind and that they are seeking 70

ing US back to our hall. Instead they
took us to the station house where
We were charged with disturbing the
peace and some other equally ridicu
lous offence. We did not have to stav
in the station house very long because
some one bailed us out.
When l think of the enormous rents
that are being paid in New York and
elsewhere, I look back to those days
with great deal of interest. We
paid $685. a month rent for Hudson
River Hall, It would cost more than
that week now to rent an Office in
that section of New York.
While, officially. we started the
Salvation Arm in the United States,
= was actually started by family
named Shirley who were members of
the Army in England. They came to
Philadelphia where they obtained &
position in the mills in the Kensington
district of that city, about year be-
fore we came to America.
They wrote to England to General
Booth, and asked him to send some OF
the Army to this country and start the
work here. The General wrote them
that he did not have the officers to
spare, but would do so in few
months. He told them to start ser
vices themselves, which they did.
and before we sailed, Mrs. General
Booth said we should have some sort
OF uniform. They then designed the

History ofthe
Salvation Army
in Ame11ca
BY commandant Emma Westbrook

By Commandant Emma Westbrook.
One of the seven original Salvation
Army Lassies, who came to the United
States from England and started the
work of the Army on the American
continent.
The first time the Salvation Army
appeared in America was in Bowery
Theatre, where we were unwittingly
Cooked in conjunction with Uncle
Toms Cabin" The manager of the
theatre charged an admission of 20
cents to see Eliza cross the ice and
hear the martial religious songs of the
seven Salvation Army lassies and
their commander, George Railton.
We landed in New York on Marcn
10, 1880. We Immediately began look
ing for place to hold our meetings.
Harry Hill, who was proprietor of q
theatre on the bowery offered us the
use of his theatre for two hours, two
nights a week. The first time we
held services was a Sunday evening,
When the curtain went up we beheld
al. audience of men with silk hats,
and cane and women dressed in silks.
We thought it rather strange, because
most of our audiences in England
had been of the poorer sort. We after
ward learned that they did not come
Sc much to see US as to see Uncle
Toms Cabin, which could not be
played on Sunday night, without Civ
ing the play the atmosphere of
sacred concert When Commissioner
George Railton, who was in charge
of the band of seven Salvation Army
lassies found out how he had been
tricked into advertising the theatrical
performance, he complained to the
manager, who offered him a share of
the receipts of the night. Commiss-
Toner Railton refused to take any Of
the money however.
During our services at the theatre
that night, some man in the audience
saw our plight and being in sympathy
with our cause got up ahd offered n
prayer that we might get hall in
which to hold our meetings. His
prayer was answered, because in few
DAYS we were offered the use of the
ola Hudson River hall.
1t was in this hall that we actually
began getting converts to our cause,
and bringing men and women back to
life of clean living from the cutters
of degradation.

land, is still living, the widow Of Ad-
jutant Symonds. She and her parents
and sisters began the work in the
United States on a Sunday afternoon
in October, 1879, by holding services
on the street corner at oxford street
and Germantown avenue. Within
few weeks they had obtained the use
o. an old chair factory nearby, where
they held meetings during the week
and on Sundays. There were no
chairs in the hall, the roof leaked and
the place was in a general state OF
bad repair. However, they kept on
and when we visited them in 1880
they had a substantial following
Shortly after we located in New
York, Commissioner Railton left to
establish posts in other cities, leaving
me in charge of the work in New
York 1t was hard work, but somehow
or another, I always managed to have
the $685. for the rent the first Of
every month.
A great change has taken place in
the hearts and minds of the American
PEOPLE regarding the Salvation Army
in the last forty years. When I frst
came here from England, we were the
objects of ridicule, and a mark for ali
the loose mud and rotten tomatoes
within reach. Today members of the
Salvation Army are treated with re-
spect everywhere they go.
This come about I believe, because
the people have seen that We are in
earnest about our work, that we don't
mind ridicule; that they cannot scare
US into seclusion, and lastly trt most
important they see the amount Of
good work we are doing and have
done for the poor, the downtrodden
and the fallen.

l remember the first convert of the
Salvation Army in this country. He
was ash Barrel Jimmy, a noted
Character around the Bowery in the
7G's. His right name was James
Kemp, and he was a typical Bowery
bum.
Shortly after we began work in New
York City, Jimmy was arrested by the
police for being drunk and disorderly.
He was taken to the Police Court
where he was a familiar figure. Thu
judge looked at him and said: Jim

alright, the judge said, Get out
of here and make sure that you go to
the Salvation Army"
When the judge told Jimmy where
We could be found, he said he did not
have carfare. The judge gave him a
dime and told him to get up to us as
quick as possible.
But, Jimmy ran true to type and

courthouse when he went into a bar.
