THE LOOKOUT STATION

1t seems that the State Forestry
department is neglecting the most
important factors in arresting forest
fires. We refer now to the condi-
ion of the Laurel Hill Lookout Sta
ton. Last Sunday, party made a
visit to this place, and looked out
several different directions and not
ed ten distinct forest fires, all of
which could have been stopped with
in a few hours. When this station
was first put in by former Game
Warden j. A. Viquesney, it was fully
equipped and manned, but now it has
been neglected for so long that it
will require SPECIAL attention and
some funds to get it back in good
shape.
From this station one can look
over an area Of 20 miles square, as
far as Thomas, King Knob, Mabie
and Lime Stone. Some years ago, a
big forest fire near Bemis was To-
Gated from this point, and it is said
that the alarm and warning given
out from this station saved at least
$4,000 in property in the Bemis Vi
cinity, saying nothing about human
lives.
Why can't this station, and other
stations as well, be given some spec
ial attention? 1t does seem that
our state department in this res
pect is weak in their care of pro-
perty and lives, both for the present
and future. 1t was only last year
that the whole mountain was burn
ed over and just what the loss to
the future generations is, cannot be
estimated.

Mine EXPLOSION
AT BENWOOD.
Explosion Closes Mine Entries;
Thirty-five Bodies at Morgue.

WHEELING, w. VA, April Is
115 miners were believed to have
been lost today in an explosion and
fire in the Benwood mill mine of the
Wheeling Steel Corporation at Ben
wood few miles down the Ohio riv-
err from Wheeling.
After struggling for more than
six hours in an effort to overcome
falls of rock and earth in the mine
drift entries rescue crews finally
gained success to he gas-filled un-
foreground passageway through air
shafts. Shortly after the first res
cue crew went down the word was
flashed to the surface that four
bodies, all badly burned had been
found. Two of the miners were a.
live when the rescuers reach them,
but they expired within a few mo-
ments.
After inspecting the wrecked work
ings experts of the United States
Bureau of Mines said there was lit
tie hope for any of the entombed
men. Those who escaped the explos-
ion and fire they said could not hope
to escape the deadly afterdamp.
1t was a tragic day for Benwood
and the surrounding mining region
The day force had been in the mine
only Is minutes when those on the
surface were startled by violent
quake and distant rumble. All
knew what had happened and men,
women and children taking no heed
of a drizzling rain dashed to the
mine mouth. They found the entry
blocked by cave in and though this
mass of rock and earth drifted
spouts of smoke and i'll smelling gas
es.
The man power of the region was
massed at the mine. Crews dug
frantically at the blocked entry while
others rushed to airshalfts located
in the country in the hope that they
could get into tie working. 1t was
through the airshalft that the first
rescuerers were let down.

night, breezes, some of them sanity
clad, stand scores of wretched wo-

and all are not dry-eyed.
Denied a glimpse of loved ones un-
til tomorrow morning, when rela-
tives will be admitted to the NOR

the victims, bereaved families and ac-
quaintances Tefrse to leave their
posts of vigilance. Others are still
gathered at the mine mouth, hoping
against hope that through some
chance of fate their husbands, broth
ers or fathers have been spared to
them and are now living somewhere
deep in the bowels of the hill that
overlooks the scene Of the disaster.
