CHAUTAUQUA WAS
A GRAND SUCCESS
Every Performance Was Witnessed
by Large Crowds. and
Concerts Were Inspiring.

BlackfoOt's seven days chautauque
closed Monday evening, and on the
whole it was success from every
point of view. The large tent was
packed during every performance
and many expressed themselves as
feeling sorry it did not last another
week.
1t is safe to say that there is no
one who listened to several of the
lectures who has not now a greater
desire to do noble deeds than he had
before chautauqua. We cannot all
be arctic explorers, magazine writer's
or orators, but we can each be hero
insofar IS attending to the painstak-
ing details of our every day life is
concerned, or in helping the weak
and helpless in our own community
Unfortunately we who are active
ly engaged in business could not at
tend all the day sessions, but most
all the business men of the city at
tended regularly the night numbers.
Next year when chau,auqua week
comes. it would be an ideal time for
an who can to plan for an entire
weeks vacation, and do nothing but
attend the lectures and concerts.
Arrangements are being made for
another engagement with the Elison-
White people for another chautauqua
next year and instead of having
forty guarantOrs, as was the case
this year, it is intended to get eighty
guarantors. n. j. Thorstenberg on
Monday spent one and one-half hours
soliciting signatures and in that
time secured twenty-three sigma
lures. or these sixteen were parties
whose names did not appear on this
years guarantee.
Four young ladies have volunteer
ed to make the Junior chautauqua a
permanent thing during the remain
der OF this summer. and will give
their time to the youngsters at reg
ular intervals.

RAINS SUPPRESS
FOREST FIRES
Public Becoming Interested in Forest
Fire Prevention-Oft Repeated
Warning is Being Needed.

Frequent rains have been boon
to the western forests this spring,
and the officers OF the Forest Service
United States Department of Agri-
culture, express themselves as greatly
relieved at escaping danger which
has been keeping them on the anx-
iOus seat.
The danger was that if the summer
fire season came on as usual their
control on the National forests would
be impossible with the funds avail
able before July l, when new fiscal
year begins. The appropriation for
the current fiscal year was heavily
drawn upon to fight fires last summer
and fail. and though deficiency ap-
preparation was obtained from Con-
gress which partly replenished the
fund.- the amount available this
spring for protecting the National
forests has been less than the aver
age expenditures necessary during
| the same period in recent years.
Hence the relief that frequent rains
have kept the forests too damp to
permit dangerous conditions to be-
come general.
But the Government foresters do
not consider that this is entirely due
to favorable weather and timely
rains. The public is becoming inter-
ested in forest preservation. and the
oft-repeated story of the destruction
caused by human carelessness is be-
ginning to make its impression. The
United States leads all nations in
forest fires. With over 10000 fires
per year, destroying nearly $2O,000,-
600 worth of timber and property,
this country has the world out
classed.
There have only been four large
fires so tar this year in the LAT Ma
tional Forests scattered throughout
the cOuntW-one in Minnesota. one
in Florida, and the other two in AriZ-
ona one of which started in Mexico
and swep. across the international
boundary. This is an exceptional
record and means much to the Forest
Service, since the limited funds al
| lotted by Congress for fire fighting
are at low ebb near the close of the
fiscal year, and entirely insufficient
to meet emergencies.
There will be plenty of fires later
in the year, forestry men state,
Lightning will set some, and camp
ers. motorists, railroads, picnickers,
and brush burners a good many more.
Tho EnraSt LOT to 30 IL;
chances, however. for its 5000 smoke
chasers, fire lookouts. rangers, and
supervisors are AL 'on their toes
to put into motion, at moments
notice, the big fre-fghting machin-
cry they have developed.
Eighty per cent of the forest fires
that occurred in the United States
during the past five years were due
to human carelessness. camp fire
left burning, a lighted match or
cigarette butt thOughtlessly thrown
aside. the foresters say. often cause |
conhagrations that take days and !
weeks of hard work to suppress. 1t !
is for this reason that they ask every |
good citizen to adOps as a part of his |
daily creed the motto of the Forest ,
Service-Put Out, Keep Out-Forest I
Fires.
