AMERICAN FOREST. WEEK
 STARTS TOMORROW

During the forest fire season of 1925 total of thirty-five forest fires were reported by Forest Ser vice agents within the boundaries of the chugach National Forest. TWenty-nine of these fires occur ed on or near the rgiht-o-f-way of the Alaska Railroad. Two fires were caused by abandoned camp fires and careless smokers start ed four fires,
 The fires on or near the Alaska Railroad were chiefly from. loco motive stacks. These fires were less than half as numerous as in 1924. Further improvement in ancestors will further reduce this type of forest fire.
 Two campers walked off and left their camp fires burning, ah- soIutety indifferent to the results. It appears that they were unusu- ally lazy or else had missed too many boats out.
 Four smokers fires! Only one less than the previous year. One of these fires cost over $8o00 to control; another about S10oo, and a third cost around $500 to make it safe. The fourth fire was found by guard when it was just mer- riIy starting.
 Over an acre of forest land burn- ed for every man, woman and child on kena Peninsula and in Seward.
 There is only one answer to all this-save the forest-You need what if grows and everybody loses when timber burns. Prevent For est Fires. It pays.

PUEBLO YOUTHS
AGAIN ELUDE A
LARGE POSSE


PUEBLO, Colo, aug iS.-A thrilling
escape, far more spectacular than the
widest of movie scenarios, was effected
about O'Clock this evening at Rye,
Colo, when Pueblo's famous baby des-
peradoes," Lester and Forrest Gonce,
aged 1S and IA, succeeded i'm eluding
a posse of about 25 members, drove a
large stolen sedan through the town of
Rye, waving at former schoolmates,
and made good their flight. They were
last seen speeding toward Pueblo, and
the sheriff's posse has been called in
from the hills and mountains near Rye,
where it has been hunting for the
young daredevils for the past several
days.
The boys were recognized as they
passed through Rye by several citizens.
The former schoolmate of Lester Gonce
at whom they waved, Miss Virginia
Thomas, also recognized the lads.
When it was known that the bandits
had passed through Rye, officers in
Pueblo and Greenhorn were notified to
look out for the boys. Just as the

known at that time that his daughter
was murdered-if what he tells is the
truth"
Attorney John D. Carmody, who
opened for the defense, answered Fey
SER
Let me say something that will fall
hard upon some ears in this court room.
But it has got to be said. If Gaines
had the horrible thought that some
thing had befallen his daughter, it was
because he knew that she was not safe
under his own roof. He thought possi-
bly, it was his own wife who did It"
Mrs. Gaines burst into tears.
She was en- route to Seattle from
California when Sylvia was slain and
has steadfastly proclaimed her hus-
bands innocence.
When court adjourned Carmody had
not finished speaking. He is to be
followed tomorrow by Robert S.
MacFarlane, for the defense, and
Ewing d. Colvina county prosecn-
tor, after which the case goes to the
jury.

SUITS AGAINST
P.D. ANDC. IA.
FILED TUESDAY

James p. Boyle, of the law firm
of Knapp, Boyle and Pickett, will
represent the Calumet and Arizona
Mining company. and John Ross and
II. A. Elliott will represent the
Phelps Dodge corporation when two
suits filed in federal court in Tue
son Tuesday by the Carson Invest
ment company are brought to trial,
it was announced Wednesday.
The suits, ordered brought to trial
November 16, by Judge William RI.
Sawtelle, involve the alleged in
fringement of patents and processes
for charging smelter furnaces. The
plaintiff asks that the defendant min
ing companies be enjoined from fur
ther profiting by the use of the
patents and for an accounting of all
past profits.
George Campbell Carson, who
claims to be the inventor of the
apparatus which involves construc
tion of open hearth and reverbera-
tory furnaces and the process for
charging them, originally filed the
complaints of which the present suits
are amendments.
The amended complaint filed by
the Carson Investment company, of
which Carson is the head, claims
that Carson filed application for
patent on the apparatus January Is,
1907. the application was amended
of the apparatus as whole. These
patents were granted August 10,
1915, the complaint puts forth.
The defendant corporations in their
answer to the complaint charge that,
in obtaining the patent which they
admit as true, he obtained it Illegally
and such letters patent are not valid ;;
that Carson was not the first in
ventor or user of such apparatus
and that the issues raised by the
paintiff are not the same as were
used against the American Smelling
and Refining company, from whom
Carson obtained a Judgment in the
court of appeals and back royalties
amounting to more than a million
dollars.
The plaintiff in its complaint
charges that the defendant com
paniesi have, made use of metal
lurgical furnaces of the type covered
by Carson's patents and that they
therefore have infringed on the
rights of the'a plaintiff and have
realized Profits stherefrom.
Two other suits have been filed
by attorneys for. Carson in the fed
eral court at Prescott against the
United Verde Copper company and
the United Verde Extension COM
pany, both of which involve the same
issues. In the event that Carson
wins his suit and the companies. are
ordered to make an accounting to
him a great amount of money will
be involved, attorneys in the case
said. al
