RAvAGEs OF FOREST FIRES.
Timber Lost Annually Would Build
Homes for City Of 400, 900.

Every year forest fires in the United
States destroy or damage sufficient
timber to build houses for the entire
population of a city Of the size Of
Washington, d. O.; New Orleans, Dem
yer or San Francisco, according TO a
statement issued by the Forest Ser
vice, United States Department Of
Agriculture, through "Safeguarding
America Against Fire." the official
bulletin Of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters. The area burned over
each year, it is said, is equal to a strip
ten miles wide, reaching from New
York City to Denver.
The statement directs attention to
the fact that fifteen years ago the
bulk Of public opinion against forest
fires was in the East. Today it is in
the West, where 81 per cent. Of the
remaining timber supply Of the coun-
try is located. Over 81 100000 acres
of forest land that were formerly COW
cred with timber are logged off or
burned and completely denuded Of tree
growth. The solution Of forestry
problem, experts say. lies largely
in fire prevention and reforestation.
The National Forests, which con-
tain ,000,000,000 board feet Of
merchantable timber, or % per cent.
Of the remaining timber in the coun-
try, are said to bear an important re-
lation to an adequate future wood
supply for the nation. These forests
are today receiving protection from
forest fires and are being cut to a
| limited extent 50 as to maintain a
continuous production Of new forests.
The fire loss in the National For
I ests was limited in 1921 to BIG, ,203
acres. A total Of 1851 fires occurr-
ed, rs per cent. Of which were due to
human agencies and could have been
prevented by care on the part Of for
est users. The direct loss amounted
TO S212, 1872 worth Of timber and for
age destroyed, and S512,106 was
spent by the Forest Service in FIRE
/ fighting.
Fires in the National Forests Of
Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and California numbered 3,843, Or Sc
per cent. Of the total In the Nation
al Forests Of Arkansas and Florida

A. NJ. HALL DEAD.
Friends Surprised by Sudden Death
at Vicksburg Yesterday.


at Yicksburg Yesterday.
Friends here of Mr.. Alfred M. Hall,
for several years past employed with
the Peoples Hardware & Produce Co.,
were shocked yesterday morning to
learn that he had passed away at a
sanitarium in Vicksburg where he had
been i'll for the past two weeks.
On Sunday afternoon about two
weeks ago, Mr.. Hall became suddenly
i'll while on his way to the station to
return to Port Gibson. He was TAX
en- to the home of his brother and lat
er TO the sanitarium. Friends here
had been kept informed of his condi-
tion, which was regarded as serious;
but no one thought that the end was
so near.
Mr.. Hall was about forty-nine
years of age. Much of his life had
been spent in and around Port Gibson
where his ancestors, the Montgomery
family lived for many years.
He leaves a brother and sister in
Vicksburg, Mr.. Harry Hall and Miss
Anna Hall, and two other sisters,
Mrs. Schuyler and Mrs. Steneck,
whose residence is unknown. Besides
these he leaves a son in Chicago.
Mr.. Hall had a happy disposition
which made him many friends, and
these sorrow greatly over his untime-
ly death.
The body was taken from the early
train this morning, and the funeral
held in the cemetery at Port Gibson,
Rev. H. H. Brownlee officiating, after
which the Masons took charge of the
service.

SPEED MANIAC A CRIMINAL.

The fellow who is afflicted with the
speed mania seems TO think that
everybody should get out Of his way
and give him an open road, ard when
he happens to kill some child or adult
he takes the attitude that the dead
one was trespassing on his rights by
being in the road. Drivers Of cars
may cause injury or death by acci-
