county advising with the local
foot wardens as to the best meaner
which the districts shonid oe
jhintHed during the approaching dan
gerous fire season. The P***^
goadaOtion in the county consists of
M forest wardens and 9 deputy
cwa, headed by county warden W. P.
Barker. Five more men have indica
ted their willingness to assist in the
as forest wardens and about 100
deputies will be secured. This
should insure a prompt
handling of all fires that occur.
The work in the county has been
progressing, but not nearly as rapidly
as could be desired. Too many people
jstHl hold the hopeless view that we
have always had fires and always will
and when a fire is started it can't be
stopped. It should require but little
seasoning to see that care on the part
of people will eliminate over 90 per
cent, of all the fires and prompt at
tention to such fires as do occur will
remit in most of them being extin
guished before much damage is done.
Another indication that many people
do not understand the necessity for
forest fire prevention is the number
of fire-prevention posters that are
tom down. These posters are put up
for the benefit of all the people and
there is a $6 penalty for tearing them
down, but a certain class of people
wlH persist in destroying them rather
than any other advertisements along
the roadB. It is hoped that this prac
tice will soon be discontinued.
Four convictions have been secured
against persons firing the woods in
the county and in each cases a fine
af $Z6 and costs was imposed.

severely. My kidneys never acted pro
