mHs' KATE CAMERON TELLS
OF MRS. O. e. PENWEL

Inc Following brief sketch of the
lie OF Mrs. o. E. Penwell by Mrs
Kate Cameron of this city will be OF
interest to many of our readers who
Ia the old Gays of Challis, were neigh
bprs OF Mrs. Penwell:
Mrs. o. E. Penwell, who nassed q.
way at the home of her nephew at ST
Louis, Missouri, was seventy-eight
years old. Many of her old friends ir
Challis will remember her, as she came
here as bride in 1887.
She first lived down on what was
then known as the Penwell upper
ranch; afterwards building the fine
home now occupied by Mr.. and Mrs
Job. where they entertained their
many friends at that time. Mrs. Pen
well was a woman of rare characte-
ana intellect, taught school for NAM
years before marriage in different part
OF Illinois, was an active worker lr
Church and Sunday school here IN tho
early days, was a member Of the Re
bekah lodge and first Noble Grand If
that organization.
She always stood for what was
good and upright-in keeping I'D
high standard in this community.
She left here about twenty years
ago and since that time lived a lone
ly life in Shelbyville. Illinois. ALWAYS
wishing she was back In Idaho. but
circumstances prevented her coming.
Her nephew's wife, hearing of he
condition went after her and brouoh'
her to her home in ST. Louis. where
she died FIVE days after she arrived
She believed in whatsoever things
are true: whatsoever things are hon
est; whatsoever things are Just; what
soever things are pure; whatsoever
things are lovely and of good re-
port. If these be OF any virtue and If
these be of any praise. Think on
these things.

over s100.00o.0oo worth Of standing
imber destroyed. together with 100.-
100000 board feet OF manufactured
lumber and eight sawmills, and q to-
tai of 1000, 900 acres burned over!
Perhaps some can recall the great
Idaho fire OF 1910, which burned over
100000 acres of land, destroyed $751;
100000 worth OF timber and killed IS
persons. rs per cent of whom were
employees of the Forest Service, en-
gagged in fighting fire. The picture
published herewith is taken from
photograph. showing such a man on
the fire line. The other is a fire al
a distance.
Statistics of the past Is years show
that on the National Forests forty per
cent of the fires have been caused by
lightning. while the other sixty per
cent is caused by human carelessness.
In the whole United States there
are each year 5000 forest fires which
do damage TO the amount OF $4,000
600 and kill 20 persons. All of this
has caused the public so little con-
Germ that il has led the President TO
proclaim a Forest Protection Weec
which has been followed by q major
ity of the Governors OF the various
states. The proclamation of Governor
Moore. which appears in this issue,
sets forth in as vivid manner as pos
sible. need for care in handling fire
while in the woods.
