One Of the thrilling stories related by this
branch Of Government service is that of a
ranger named Pulaski, a descendant of that
gallant Polish fighter who gave his life that
America might be free. Forest fires were
the rampage in Idaho. Rangers collected
fighters wherever they could pick them up
Fires were spotted in many places and group
of men with Pulaski were trapped They had
one refuge old mine. They crowded into it
and hung wet blanket at the entrance to
keep cut the heat and the smoke AS the fire
closer one Of the men determined to
break through it. The heat before his eyes
became unbearable At the risk of his life
from a gun Pulaski held back the panic
stricken individual until the danger had passed
LIGHTING fires is one of the most dangerous
of jobs. Trees crash every side with
deafening roar, and knows not when a
giant Of the forest, overcome by the advancing
red host. may strike at him. Nor does he know
at what NOR lent the wind may change direc-
ton and dr. We the woolflSh flames across his
retreating pash, leaving him trapped in fiery
furnace.
But, aside from these dangers, there are
Others Dynamite must be carried by fighters
of fire. In putting through lines to break an
advancing fire, trees must be dynamited and
cut. Oftentimes this becomes necessary dur

out on trip, possible death from freezing or
at best, long hours OF exposure with danger of
pneumonia at the end Of the rescue.
Rangers have given up their lives in noun
tain streams their canoes having been upset
by too rough water.
DYNAMITE and guns have played their part
- in eliminating the cattle tick from the
South and, incidentally, endangered the lives
of Federal officers carrying out the Federal
mandate. Federal men in this campaign were
wounded. To meet one of the situations it was
necessary before the work was satisfactorily
completed to call upon ex-service men to assist
in the eradication process These men were
equipped with horses, guns and camp outfits.
At another time 1t was necessary to protect
inspectors and property with rifles and machine
guns.
A former inspector with the Agriculture De-
partment, now living in Western State, has

practically confined to the base
ment Of the store. It burned
fiercely nearly two hours and was
extinguished only when firemen
cut a hole in the concrete pave

the basement.
Traffic on Connecticut Avenue
was not much hampered, and only
one lane was closed, motor cars
being directed along the south

congestion. The traffic was
handled by Capt. Edward j. Kelly

is still undetermined, but fire

STATE LAMB CROP
North Dakota Production This
Year is Three Per Cent
More Than in 1891

North Dakota's 1882 lamb crop will
be three per cent larger than that Of
1881 and the 1881 crop was 16 per cent
larger than that of 1880, according to
the monthly report of the agricultural
statistician at Fargo.
The number of lambs saved this
year is estimated to be $4,000 as COM
pared with $4,000 in 1881, SOS 900 in
1880, and $4,000 head in 1929. los
lambs per hundred ewes were saved
this year as compared with LOG lambs
in 1881 and SO in 1880.
Shipments of sheep and lambs to
market from North Dakota in 1881
were the largest on record. The ship
ments totalled 672000 head as COM
pared with 4l5,0OO in 1890, and 381 900
head in 1929.
The indicated lamb crop for the
United States is smaller than either
1881 or 1880, but larger than 1929. The
indicated lamb crop is 29,717,000 head
or 90 per cent of last years crop. The
lamb crop in 1891 was 32,373, 900 head
as compared with 29,9260OO head in
1880, and in 1929 it was 26,853, 900
head. The reduction in the indicat-
ed lamb crop is due to decreases in
Western sheep states.
North Dakota's wool production is
about / per cent below that of 1881
which is due to the lighter weight of
fleeces clipped in 1882 which averages
8.3 pounds as compared with 8.5
pounds a year ago. The total esti-
mated production of all wool in the

SUB COMMISSIONER
RAISES HAVOC With

Acting President Kurth De.
mands Law Enforcement,
Dismissal Of Cops

Minot, N. D., August 1.-(P)-Close
on the heels of the departure from
the city of Police Commissioner Nap
LaFleur on a months vacation trip,
Acting Commissioner of Police A. H.
Kurth Monday in communication
told the department that there Is
gross law violation in our city" and
in another letter recommended the
dismissal of two patrolmen.
Following the recommendation OF
the acting commissioner OF police,
Police Chief w. ]. O'Leary advised
William Kohlman and j. B. Harti-
gan that their services were no longer
needed.
The communication on law en-
forcement was addressed to both Po-
lice Chief OLeary and James Moran,
captain of the force.
The letter follows:
1T has been brought to my atten-
ton emphatically that there is gross
law violation in our city.
I'VE realize that the number of
men on our police force is below stan
dard (Which calls for one man for
each 1000 population) but this is no
reason, however, why the men we
have cannot act efficiently.
II charge you and your subordi-
mates here and now to bring all law
violators to justice, where they shall
be punished by law according to the
offense committed. If the police
magistrate does not cooperate we
want to know it now I am looking
for drastic law enforcement without
fear or favor. If the officers will do
their duty, I am satisfied that our
citizenry will cooperate in every way.
"P. S. Traffic laws: Every driv-
er that passes a stop street or passes
at intersections, should be brought
in and fined not less than IS. There
may be exceptions to strangers"
Before leaving on his trip to Can
ada and the eastern part of the U. s..
last Thursday, Police Commissioner
La F1eur had requested that the adj
ministration of the police department
be left in the hands of Acting Presi-
dent Kurth of the commission.
Kurth said that his recommended
ton for the dismissal of the two
patrolmen was made on his own mi
tative and did not result from any
suggestion made by La Fleur.
