ing were laid out in remote sections
of the forest lands for the use Of these
smoke jumpers.
The airplane figured heavily in the
success of the service in fighting fires
this season, officials pointed out. Air
planes flew total of 8l2 hours car
rying fighters, smoke jumpers ani
supplies during the season. Four hun
dred thousand pounds OF supplies were
carried to the far-flung crews by air
plane.
Full meals of roast beef, peas
mashed potatoes. gravy, buttered
bread, coffee. fruit, cake and ice
cream, cooked in Missoula. were
dropped to crews of as high as 81
men, doing away with the expense d
a cook and kitchen crew and heavy
packs.
Officials of the forest service were
pleased with the results Of the work
during the 1910 season, stating that
with precipitation again subnorma,
for the year, the organization func-
toned exceptionally well.

Forest Fire Damage in
Montana Is Reduced
by Use of A;rpla11es

The 1910 total number of forest fires
in the Montana and northern Idaho
district was the largest number re-
corded and the amount of acreage
burned over was the smallest amount
recorded during the last 10 years, &C
cording to the annual report of the
fire season, released by w. E. FRY,
assistant supervisor Of the Helena ma
tional forest
The official number of fires reported
during the season was set at 1893 and
the burned over area amounted to
1920 acres.
The largest number Of fires were
reported in the Kootenai national for
est which had a large number OF dry
lightning storms during the season.
A comparison with figures for other
years within the last l0-year period
shows an unusually low ratio for the
1910 season. In 1929 there were 1,949
fires and $4,000 acres burned over
In 1881 there were 1880 fires reported
and 10000 acres were burned over,
and l247 fires were recorded in 1884
with $4,000 acres of forest land lost
that year.
Forest service officials attributed
the extremely small loss of timber

land this year to better means Of
transportation with the addition o:
airplane travel, more efficient organ
iZation within the service and better
training of the firefighters and crew
leaders. The use of small force of
smoke jumpers" firef!ghters who are
trained to use parachutes to approach
inaccessible fires, a new type OF fire
fighting in use for the first time in
this district this year, was also helpful
in checking fires at the outset.
Jumping technique and training
plans for a force of smoke jumpers
were carried on in 1889 and this year
a crew of six men passed the necessary
requirements of ground training. physi-
cal examinations and test jumping
and were used in the Missoula area
to check back-country fires which were
started for the most part by dry
lightning storms. Officials of the Mis-
soula area say that the jumpers were
highly successful in checking the
smaller fires. The officials figured
that it cost $3.50 to drop two men on
fire that would cost $4,000 to fight
the fire by other means after it got
a start. The speed with which men
can be flown over fires which are
just starting enables them to check
what would otherwise be major fires,

Beavers Menace
Water Supply
INDUSTRIOUS ANIMALS ATTEMPT
TO SHUT OFF GREAT FALLS

The Great Falls water supply was
menaced recently-by beavers.
The animals were discovered build

water plant south Of the city. Five

permission to shoot the animals. The
first one killed weighed so pounds,
and city officers were undetermined
whether proceeds from the pelts should
go to the city or state.

masts rugged with square sails were
provided.
The boat was run until after dark
every night and was started before
daylight in the morning. Wherever
possible she was tied to snag out in
the stream for the night so as to make
it impossible for the Indians to attack
by surprise. When the party arrived
at Fort Union they learned that the
steamer had been up, but had gone
back. After some elaboration it was
decided 10 undertake the rest of the
journey and trust to luck not to be
caught by the ice. Everyone took a
hand at the oars and rapid progress
was made. Game was plentiful and the
boat was full of gold dust. and ii
spite of the fear of the ice and In
dams the party was in the best OF
spirits. They arrived at Sioux City
Nov. 30. with the river running full
of ice Two days later and they would
have been frozen in. Mr.. Hubbell re-
ceived SITS per passenger.
Boy Walks 642 Miles
A singular incident happened in the
summer of 1867. growing out of the
wreck of one of the river boats. In
July of that year the steamer Trover
was wrecked at a point 24O miles be-
low Fort Benton. The Ida Stockade
happened along about this time, took
her freight and passengers to Benton,
and on the way back took off her
machinery and carried it to st. Louis.
When she left the wreck there were
two colored boys asleep in the hold,
and the boat went off without know
ing they were there. On waking up
and finding themselves alone, without
a thing to eat or any means of defense.
S1trrn,1oHQI hv a u'ilHnrnpSS wholly
unknown to them, they were complete
" paralyzed with fright. But, recover
ing their presence of mind they saw
that they must find some relief i'm
mediately or they would die of star
walton. They left the wreck and start
ed down the river. In crossing small
tributary of the Missouri one of the
boys was drowned. The other kept on
night and day, most of the time back
the swamps and underbrush. He had
nothing to eat except a little bark
and some flower blossoms and did not
stop a moment for sleep. His keeping
back from the river caused him to
miss the boats and the trading posts.
Finally, almost famished and exhaust
ed. he beat his way through dense
willow growth to the bank of the river
in the hope that some boat would come
along DclOIc ZIG SllOQlQ olc.
Shortly afterward steamer hove
in sight-the Sunset-on her way up
the river. She was veritable sunrise
to the poor boy. who began waving
an old white hat. almost the only ar
ticle of clothing he had left. The
people on the boat saw the signal and
sent the yawl out and brought the boy
in. His face was almost raw from
mosquito bites, and he was so weak
that he could scarcely stand.
He was found at point Is miles
below Fort Rice or 642 miles, by river
channel, below where the Trover was
wrecked. He travelled the distance In
nine days. With all the cutoffs duly
allowed for, he must have averaged
10 miles day during this time. and
all the while without food. Were 1t
not that the facts seem well estab-
lished. such an example Of physical
endurance would be incredible. The
name OF this little hero was Frederick
Good and his home was In st. Louis.

Importance to man. They seek
only cold -blooded creatures, such
as frogs, toads, fishes and such in
habitantS of the water. They are
pugnacious, and since they have
sharp teeth, they can infiict slight
wounds, which are perfectly harm
less, for these snakes are devoid of
venom. Therefore they should not
be killed
While the coloration of the ma
ture red-bellied water snake does
not match the typical form at all,
the relationship is brought out by
the young, which are VlVldly
marked. They soon lose the tradi-
tional pattern and assume that
worn by their parents.
The red-bellied water snake is
rusty brown above. a rich, deep,
pure vermillion or brick red below.
Only the young have bands on the
backs or the sides.
Along the Atlantic coast this
water snake does not go farther
north than Virginia. In the Cen
trail States it extends northward
into Michigan. Westward it ranges
to Colorado. and some have been
found in Northern Mexico. The
most brilliantly colored are found
in South Carolina, Georgia and
Northern Florida.
These reptiles give birth to their
young. There may be 80 or more
in the brood, all beautiful, lively
youngsters and able to take care
Of themselves a few hours after

Red-bellied water snakes are eX-
