FIRE CONDITIONS
ARE SERIOUS IN
NATL. FOREST

Reports from various points ON
the Medicine Bow Forest indicate
that the rain of Thursday was very
light and that the fire hazard thru
out the majority of the Forest, par
ticularly in the lodgepole pine type
is again hazardous. U~nseasonably
warm weather, combined with eX-
~ceptionally high winds, have dried
out the forest litter very rapidly.
The evaporimeter and phychrometer
readings taken at the offices of the
Forest Supervisor at Laramie indi-
cate rapid evaporation and low hui
midity, f~orecasting continued dan
gerous fire conditions. The Forest
Service has suggested that Sunday
visitors and vacationists be particu-
larly careful with camp fires to- see
that they are both extinguished with
water and covered with soil, that
there may be no possibility of a fire
such as occurred on the Arapaho For
est on Wednesday,. This fire, caus-
ing thousands of dollars loss in tim
Der burned, a direct loss to the coun-
est Service and in employment of its
citizens and the loss of productive
forest area for years to come, was
causde from a camp fire, left uneX-
tinguished. Such calamities can be
prevented if every camper extin-
cuisines his camp fire: each smoker
eXtinguishes his cigarettes, pipe ash
es or cigar before throwing il away
and each citizen eXtinguishes every
fire discovered by him.

AKRON FACTORY
BUILDS WORLDS
LARGEST TIRE

The largest tire in the world is
in Akron, Ohio. The tire, designed
by the engineering division of the
United States armyair service, with
whom Goodrich engineers ~collaborat-
ed, will measure more than five feet
high with cross sectional measure
ment of ii inches.
Goodrich engineers estimate that
the building of this tire, which Is the
first of a set, will require approx
mately TO yards of fabric, 81 inches
wide. several pounds of steel wire
for the bead construction and ap-
proximately 10 pounds of compound
rubber. If this amount of raw ma
terial was applied in the construc-
ton of 30 X 31a inch tires, it would
make thirty five of them. However
more rubber would be needed in the
construction of the small automobile
cases, for a smaller proportionate
amount of rubber is used in the con-
struction of airplane tires owing to
the small amount of wear experience
ed by the tread,
The special molds for the construc-
ton and vulcanization of this big
tire requires special machinery to
handle. This equipment was recent
ly completed at the Goodrich plant,
where plans have been made to build
more of these large tires as the tests
are completed on the one now being
built.
The huge tire will be part of the
equipment on a new type of giant air
craft. which is sDOn to he tried out

Adjusting the
School Districts
In Two Counties

Invitations have been received
by the state department of Educa-
ton from the county boundry boards
of Big Horn and Crook counties ask
ing for surveys of the schools of
these counties during the summer.
In both counties the outstanding
problem is a readjustment of district
boundaries which will equalize the
school taxation, and make possible
the support of schools in the poorer
districts. Assessed valuations per
school child in Crook county vary
from $500 to $1,000, and local dis
trict levies from no tax in eight dis
tricts up to- nine mills. The situa-
ton in Big Horn County is similar:
some of the more p%opulous districts
are unable to raise sufficient funds
to finance their schools.

BENEFIT
PROMISED FROM
N SYSTEM

State Engineer Frank C. Emerson
left recently for Worland to make
final inspection of the Hanover Irri-
cation District in connection with
the proposed financing of this Dis
trict by the State.
The destructive storms of the
1928 season did much damage to the
canal of the District and made neces-
sary a large amount of repair work.
The crossing of the canal at Cotton
wood creek, Nowater Creek and
Slick Creek which were destroyed
by the cloud-burst have been re-
placed by excellent structures of
permanent type. The canal system
stands today in excellent shape to
provide water for the 1900 acres
of fertile lands surrounding the
Town of Worland.
The purchase by the state of the
bonds covering this valuable District
will be a great aid. Although the
, 1924-06-26

of Rawlins, It was decided to call
a mass meeting of the business men
as a whole. Fortunately funds for
launching such a campaign remain
to the city from the 1928 Rodeo, and
it was agreed that a small part of
this could not be better used than
for the purpose of getting every
available business man present at
the mass meeting. Three commit
tees were nominated by Mr.. Bendle
at the suggestion of those present
at the meeting. Arrangements in
cludod Messrs. Dunlap and Hilliard;
Program, consisted Of Messrs. Dins-
more, Geo. Bible, w. w. Daley and
Clarence Brimmer. and publicity in
Guiding Messrs. r. H. Alcorn, Geo.
Deaton and Phil H.. Gray.
The mass meeting will take the
form of a free dinner to which every
businessman of Rawlins will be in
vited, according to present plans as
developed by the combined boards
of directors of the luncheon clubs.
One or more big men in the chamber
of commerce field will be present at
the mass meeting dinner, to explain
something of the opportunities, prob
lens, and aims of the proposed
group. A date for this big meeting,
which will be made a very entertain
ing affair in many ways, is to be
decided upon and announced in the
very e a future.
, 1924-06-26

meeting brought out the fact that
while Rawlins has a live Credit Rat
ing Exchange, two luncheon clubs, a
woman's club, and several fraternal
organizations, yet there exists no
group which al handle matters of
general interest to the business
houses of Rawlins. This city is now
facing, as It faced before, de-
clared those present, opportunity for
attracting Industries to itself-yet
there Is no organization now enabled
to make the strong bid to industries
which the occasion demands. A
north and south railroad may be
said to be an assured fact, crossing
the Union Pacific somewhere in the
vicinity of Rawlins-but no great ef-
fort is being made to convince Of
hcials of the railroad that such cross
ing can most logically and most
probably be made adjacent to this
city. And there are many matters
of general policy within the circle OF
business houses themselves which
can only be decided upon by a
Chamber of Commerce, 1t was
brought out at Tuesdays meeting.
The meeting was called to order
by f. w. Rendle. as president of the
Rawlins Board of Trade, with |.
w. Dinsmore assisting him in the
position of Secretary. After consid-
cradle discussion of the best way
for effecting Chamber of Commerce

security offered was first-class the
project found itself unable to raise
funds for essential Improvement
work without being subjected to a
runious discount if the bonds We're
to be handled in open market.
In connection with the financing of
several drainage districts i n the Big
Horn Basin and Roiverton counties
1t has been necessary for the State
Engineer to devote a large part of
his time for the past FIVE months to
these matters in order that the in
terests of the State might be well
protected.
Farm lands throughout the Basin
and Riverton countries never look
ed better than they do this spring
and the farmers have never shown
better spirit and activity in meeting
their problems. A much larger acre
age of sugar beets has been planted,
and from this crop alone several hun
dred thousand dollars will be re-
turned this fall. 1t has been lemon
strated hat corn can be grown with
success in these sections and this
product; together with the use of
beet pAp, is rapidly making the

BY reason of the fact that each
Irrigation or Drainage District rep
resents a community pledging itself
as a whole for the repayment of
bonds the state that its funds
are well invested. The general bene-
fits that will result from the ability
of the State to aid these promising
agricultural sections can harniy be
estimated.
