Fire Fighting
Cost Is Less
This Year
Forest Service Makes Record
In Protecting Timber
From Destruction.
NOW FORMING PLANS
FOR NEXT SEASON

According to statement of the
United States forest service at Mis-
soula as compared to average an
nual costs for fire protection in ma
tional forests of the Northern Re-
gion, taxpayers paid less this year
by nearly half million dollars.
Damage to timber scenic and wa
tershed values was also correspond
ingly reduced.
Statistics released by the forest
service show that expenditures of
funds appropriated for fire suppress
sion on the II forests in the Region
amounted to $264,014 for the past
season. This is $435,413 less than
the average annual cost for the past
ten years. A total of 3,437 acres was
burned inside the forests at esti-
mated loss of $3,416 to natural re-
sources. This compared to the ten
year average acreage loss of 1892
acres and an average damage in
dollars and cents of $387,328
With the ashes OF the past seasons
fires hardly cold on the hillsides,
fire fighting specialists, who made
these statistics available, are already
hard at work analyzing this years
reports and making plans for next
year. According to Regional For
ester Evan w. Kelley, the saving
this year can be attributed to rela-
lively favorable weather conditions
and steady improvement in fire con-
troll practice. More roads and faster
trucks have materially aided in
speeding up the transportation Of
men and supplies The practical use
of airplanes for delivery purposes
has also been greatly augmented.
Further examination OF the report
shows that the cost Of fighting the
average fire during the 1887 season
was $17l60 This is $500 less than
the 1896 figures and 1894 below the
ten-year average.

ALBANY TO NEW YORK SWIM

endurance swim from Albany:
Jimmy arrived under the George
Washington bridge at about o'clock
last night. That was his goal when
he jumped off a dock in Albany at
$40 pm. last Monday.
Just before 10 pm. he was pulled
out of the water at 98th street after
the Ids mile swim. A waiting am
bulance took him in for a long rest
in a dry bed.
Jimmy appeared to have suffered
little from his lat hours in the wa
ter. He said he had lost about 80
of the ITO pounds he weighed at
the start.
Jimmy ate, slept and smoked
large cigars while floating with the
tide, frequently seeking refuge in
protected coves when the tide was
against him.
His physical disability on land
gave him an advantage in the wa
ter. Where other swimmers would
have found it difficult to sleep
without sinking, Jimmy found it
easy to float and sleep because of
the increased buoyance of his leg
