Every citizen of the country sax

Every citizen of the country, says
the Forest Service, can contribute
to the suppression of this destruc-
tive "red terror by using care
when he frequents the forests in
allowing no fire TO start through
any act of his, in stamping out OF
drenching with water any small fire
he might discover, and in reporting
promptly any large blaze to forest
officers 1T landowners.
In the National Forests of the
country, the Federal Government
maintains an organized force to
give battle to any fire which might
break out, as 500 as it is discov-
cred. Under the Clarke-McNary
law of 1924, the Federal Govern
ment is now cooperating with SO
states and with private timberland
owners in forest fire protection. I'm
der its provisions there are avail
able for fire protection this year a
Federal appropriation of $780, 600,
State funds amounting to $4,000
900. and $557,00 in private funds.
1t is estimated that $9,250, 900 a
year. If discreetly and systematic
ally used, would afford ample fire
protection to all the country's for
est lands. This would amount to
only two cents an acre.

THE RED MENACE
In THE OFRESTS

The Red Terror is the chief
enemy of trees and forests.
! Sweeping through a timberland,
the red flakes of a forest fire which
has got beyond control may wreak
untold havoc, damaging valuable
mature trees, destroying young
growth, laying waste grazing lands,
injuring protective watersheds, and
converting to a blackened, fire
SCARED waste what were cool, in
wiling woodlands reckoning to the
nature-lover and outdoor recreation
list.
The United States Forest Ser
vice places the average annual num-
Der of forest fires in the United
States during the past 10 years at
$1,000. The average area swept
by fires each year stands at 49,
600 900 acres. The annual damage
runs up to $40, 900, 900, not taking
into account the damage to young
growth. watersheds and recreational
facilities, which can hardly be esti-
mated.
1t is believed that much of the
prairie country and perhaps some
of the plains of the United States
and Canada were converted to their
treeless state by forest fires which
swept over them repeatedly in by
gone ages. If the fires occur fire.
%quently. the young growth, the
seeds and the fertile top soil itself
are destroyed.
The forest fire risk greatly in
~creases with civilized settlement.
Ninety percent of the forest fires
today r m~an-caused. Hunters.
campers and tourists are often care
less with their camp fires, their
matches and tobacco; settlers who
set fires to clear land or to dis
pose of brush frequently allow them
to get out of hand; activities of
mining, numbering and railroads
are often cause of fire.
Under favoring wind and humid
ity conditions, forest fires frequent
ly attain an enormous speed of ad-
vance; the front often leaps hun
dreds of feet forward, and burning
brands and sparks may establish
branch fires miles ahead of the
main conflagration. Populous COM
munities in the paths of such fires
are sometimes wiped out in a few
minutes WIKI great loss of life and
property. In the Hinckley and
Cloquet fires in Minnesota in 1894
and 1918, many hundreds of lives
were lost; in the Peshtigo, Wis.
fire of 1875. 1900 persons were
killed. 1t is probable that in the
last 125 ear more timber in the
United States has been destroyed
by fires than has been used in al
the wood industries.

RESCUE SQUADS
PROGRESSING ON
DIFFICULT WORK
BY United Press Leased Wire

FRESNO, Cal, Feb. 19.-At-
tempts to recover seven bodies bur
led beneath the avalanche that kill
ed thirteen persons at Camp ~, near
Big Creek, were progressing favor
ably today and it is believed the
rescue squads tunneling under the
huge mound of snow will bring out
some of the victims before night.
Among the bodies which are still
buried beneath the snow slide is
that of Mrs. j. C. Pattison, wife of
the electrical foreman of the camp,
the only woman victim of the trag-
edy. 1t is mainly the hope of re-
covering her body that is squirting
the rescue squads in their lndustri-
Gus but cautious operations. In the
wild mountain country where few
women live, the fate of Mrs. Patti
son is often mentioned by the
mourning survivors.
All the patients of the Big Creek
hospital were reported to be doing
nicely today, although they are not
yet entirely out of danger of con-
tracing pneumonia.

River Flow Is
Not Abnormal

The Colorado River is showing Il
steady flow of 10000 second feet
of water at Yuma and dropped
nearly four inches between mid
night and o clock this morning, it
was reported at the Imperial Irri-
cation district. This shows that the
water is getting away well and
with the levecs reported holding in
good shape there is little danger of
the flood waters pouring into the
Colorado having any effect on I'm
perial Valley.
Although some northern papers
took occasion to point to the blow
ing up of the brush weirs below
lockwood gate as a desperate meas
ure to stave off disaster, it was cX-
planned today that these weirs are
blown out of the way every year
and whenever they impede the prog
rcss of high waters.
In fact the contract allowing the
irrigation district to install these
wcirs binds the district to an agree
mcnu to blow them out whenever
high waters in the Colorado are
realized, it was pointed out. The
weirs are installed as a means to
divert water during low periods in
to the canal which furnishes water
to the valley.

GAS PLANT HERE
IS REALITY and
NOT idle MYTH
Construction Will Be
Completed In Short
Time.

FL Centre residents who have
wondered whatever became of FL
Centro's proposed gas plant, can
find the answer by taking trip to
the north end of the city at Mag
nolia street, where the Inland En-
pire Gas company's plant is nearing
completion.
Quietly and without undue public
ity, the officials of the gas company
have gone ahead with construction
work. At present the plant includes
container for gas, with a capacity
of 10000 cubic feet, boilers and ap-
paratus for the production of gas
and several hundred thousand feet
of gas mains and pipes of various
sizes.
The plant will be completed with
in the next few weeks, according to
officials and it is hoped to have a
test made about the middle of
March, perhaps earlier.
In reality there are two gas
plants in course of construction. In
addition to the Inland Empire com
pany's plant, the Wade Process
corporation is building plant for
the production of gas. This corpor-
alton uses method originated by
Henry Clay Wade, which is expect
ed to revolutioniZe gas manufae-
ture.
Not only does Wade's plant pro
duce gas more economically and
more efficiently than any method
now in use, its big feature is that
the gas is absolutely poisonous,
so that if it should happen to be left
on in closed room, there is no
chance of asphyxiation. This in it
self has commended the process
highly to gas officials all over the
world.
Wade has offered to build his
plant and demonstrate to the In
land Empire company that his pro-
cess is economical, safe and practi-
cal. The offer has been accepted
by the gas company, who share
Wade's confidence that his plant
will do just what he claims for it
Only a small space is needed for
Wade's apparatus, and after it is
operating onl Y one man is requir-
ed to tend it.
This morning there was a gang
of Is or more men at work on the
gas site, finishing up the brick work
necessary for the boilers and rush
ing the construction work to com
pletion.
The gas plant is not dead by any
means, and very shortly its product
is certain to be welcomed by Ell
Centre housewives, who have wait
ed for gas since the abandonment of
the old plant over six years ago.
Plans of the Inland Empire com
pany also call for distribution of
gas to other valley cities.

PRESIDENT IS IN
DIFFICULT SPOT
ON FARM BILL
Measure Will Have Big
Bearing On His Chance
For Reelection.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-When
he walked into his office this morn
ing, President Coolidge found on
top of his desk the MoNary- Haugen
farm relief bi ill-a measure which
politicians here say is fraught with
enough political dynamite to dis
turb the whole 1927 presidential
lineup.
TO sign or not to sign is the qucs-
tlon. The answer may determine
the president s own future position
in the Republican party and influ-
ence the opposing candidates now
being talked of by the congression-
al farm blocs.
Nine of 10 observers in congress
believe the president will veto the
measure and will send it back to
congress Monday with message
giving his reasons therefor.
A veto would prevent the measure
from becoming law. 1t received
a majority of eight in the senate
and 36 in the house, and cannot
possibly receive the two thirds ma
jority necessary for passage over 4
veto.
Farm bloc leaders assert that
should tn" president veto the bill.
they will oppose Mr.. Coolidge as a
presidential candidate next year.
Eight or 10 Republican senators
will take the stump against him,
the bloc members assert.
The bill has been enthusiastically
endorsed by Former Governor
Frank 0. Lowdcn of Illinois and
Vice President Charles G. Dawes.
Eastern leaders of the party, who
opposed the bill, are keeping silent,
firm in the belief that the president
will veto the measure. But if he
should sign, it is hardly to be ex-
pcctcd that they will join any
Coolidge flag waving.

Child Labor Act
ViOlatOr Enters
Plea of Guilty

George Bannings, arrested on a
charge of violating the child labor
act, upon complaint of w. f. Gould,
labor commissioner, entered a plea
of guilty to the charge when ar
raigned before Judge I. Mayfield.
He was sentenced to 10 days in the
county Jail and sentence was sus-
pended upon recommendation of the
district attorneys office. -
1t was brought out at the ar
raignment that Bannings had arriv-
ed in Ell Centre only a few DAYS
ago. Arrangements were being made
to have his son enter school here.
In the meantime, Mrs. Bannings
testified, the boy had asked her
whether he could go out and sell
some bottle washers. She said that
Mr.. Bannings was not even aware
of thesfact that the boy was sell
ing the goods and that she did not
know that his act constituted a vio-
latiOn.
In view of the circumstances, the
defendant was released after enter
ing the plea of guilty.

Mail Holds Up
Divorce Hearing

AN effort to have a default hear
ing in the case of Clarence H.
Forsberg against Marian A. Fors-
berg in superior court, department
two, today was believed to have
been thwarted due to the holdup in
the mails. Application for the trial,
a divorce action, was received only
this morning and too late to come
before the court. It is expected
that the ease will be brought up
some time during the coming week.
The application shows that the
defendant in the case has failed to
file answer to the complain and a
default hearing is a,Nked... The COM
plant alleges that the couple was
married in Fallon, New, on Janu-
ary 1, 1914, and separated Decem-
ber l, 1924. There are three child
rem by the union. The divorce is
sought on grounds of desertion.

OFFICIALS HOPE
FOR REPORT OF
MISSING SHIP
BY w. r. KUHNS
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

MANILA, P. l., Feb. 19.-Ship
ping board officials here still hoped
today to see the Steamship Elkton
taken into some port despite an
nouncement of insurance companies
that hope of rescue had been aban-
dOned.
The Elkton signalled distress
Thursday while enroute from Ne.
gros island to Honolulu. Immedi-
ately thereafter she was silent and
frantic calls of ships willing to help
were unanswered.
1t is possible, board officials said
that the Elkton may have lost her
radio and although badly battered
rode out the storm.
Four American destroyers partici
pating in the search have found nc
trace of the vessel and no ship in
those parts has come across any
wreckage.
