OVER THE FORESTS

The season of the year Is at hand
when there should be an increased
vigilance to prevent forest fires The
forests lands are beginning to dry ops
and fires at this season are more
serious than at any other time OF the
wear. In recognition of this fact the
Conservation Department is increas-
ing its number of rangers. and ciu-
zens generally are asked to render
them every assistance in their power
not only in putting out fires, but IN
guarding against their occurance.
Fires in the forest not only destroy
the trees, which are becoming scarcer
and more valuable yearly, but they
also destroy or permanently in1ure
the ranges, destroy the nesting
places of birds and squirrels ana
other small animals, and do an In
finite amount of injury otherwise.
In increasing its force of rangers
the Conservation Department hopes
to minimize the injury done by these
fires. but it cannot hope to succeed
to any extent unless it has the earn
est cooperation Of the people OF tn
neighborhood The deliberate settinl
fire to forests by ill-informed persons
for one purpose or another, IS no,
prohibited by law, and serious pena
ties are attached to the custom. TN
setting fire to the woods for the pul

not uncommon. and heavy price

Jockey he saved considerable money;
and il will be recalled that only a
few months ago the Chicago de-
fender, in order TO sell a few extra
bIood-and-thunder copies of the paper,
no doubt, published a long story to
the effect that William Simms, the
once famous colored jockey, who was
we'll and favorably known among race
horse men the world over, had sunk
so low in the scales of humanity that
he was now hitting the real dope"
all the time; that he had been arrested
IN this city about that time; and that
one of the judges of the Municipal
Court of Chicago, sitting at the Clark
Street police station had fined him
for permitting himself to become a
common tramp or vagrsnt, and had
sent him to the bridewell for 20 or
80 days.
Mr.. Simms read that highly colored
up story, which did not contain one
grain of truth in it, down at his
beautiful home IN New Jersey, and
he sent a red hot statement back to
the Chicago defender which Col. Rob-
ert s. Abbott gladly published re-
tracing or skinning back everything
which had appeared in its columns in
to the arrest of Mr.. Simms
and being fined and sent TO the bride
we'll IN Chicago as a common tramp
and heavy user of dope"
Col. Abbott was dead anxious to
sidestep a big libel suit and he was
almost willing to stand on his head
in order to quiet Mr.. Simms down.
Col Dan NJ. Jackson, Mr.. Joseph
H. Hudlun, the late Robert T.
Motifs, and many of the other old
timers residing in this city were warm
friends of Isaac Murphy, William
Simms and several other of the sue
cessful race horse jockeys whom they
knew were on the square and when
ever they rode in the great American
Derbys they would lay a little money
down on them coming in under the
wire far ahead of the other riders.
