ETTEES from our boys in the trenches and
from the women in canteen and other
war work, all bring to us the same
sage—SEND
US NEWS FROM HOME.
World news is all right, but OUR BOYS
want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want
the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented
from sending their papers free to anyone, even
boys in the service. Consequently a national
movement has been started by Col. William
Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting
as President of the Home Paper Service of
America to give the boys what they are calling
for. Every community is joining the movement.
Let us see that our boys are not forgotten.
Send to the publisher of this newspaper
whatever amount of money you can—5
cents or $50.00. We will publish a list
each week of those contributing, and the
amounts contributed.
Every cent received will be used to send
this paper to our boys at the front. If at
the end of the war, there Is any surplus, it
will be turned over to the local Red Cross
Committee.
There is no profit in this to the publisher—
even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold
at a profit. With war prices prevailing* and the
high rate of postage on papers sent to France,
our cost will scarcely be covered by our full
subscription price.
Remember that over in France, some brave
soldier or sailor from this town—perhaps even
some splendid woman working within sound of
the guns—is depending on you to "KEEP THE
HOME LOVE KINDLED."
They are calling to YOU from Over there
GIVE WHAT YOU CAN

the vigorous support of three sue-
Session of 1913: Fund asked for,
$150,000 per year fund appropriated
$75,000 per year.
Session of 1915: Fund, afeked, $150,
per year fund appropriated $40,000
per year.
Session of 1917: Fund asked $150,
000 per year (reduced by forestry
board to $100,000) fund appropriat
ed $50,000 per year also asked $8,
000 fire emergency for remainder of
fiscal year 1917, and it was appro­
priated
We have also urged the appropria­
tion of $100,000 or more as an em
ergency fire fund to be expended
only with the approval of the Gov­
ernor, or with such other check as
the legislative might provide.
Gov. Eberhart, Gov. Hammond and
Gov. Burnquist have all consistently
urged increases in our appropria­
tions, and Gov. Burnquist went fur­
ther and recommended an emergency
fund of $200",000 which was not
granted.
What made it comparatively easy
for the recent catastrophe to occur
was the lack of a large enough train­
ed force in the field to catch fires in
their incipiency, to punish the part
ies setting them and to compel
prompt and effective work extin
guishing fires started by settlers,
woods workers, railroads, automobile
tourists, and road contractors. We
have frequently told legislative com
mitteemen that with the funds
available we were, able to give the
forest country only a 40 per cent
fire protection.
As a means of supplementing the
efforts of the rangers, and im a mea­
sure to cover a weakness in the for­
est law, I asked the Commission of
Public Safety to issue an order pro
hibiting the setting of fires, except
under permit of forest officers, with­
in certain dates. Accordingly, orders
numbered 5, 9, 29 and 33 were issued
by the Commission and posted wide­
ly throughout the northern half of
the state. Our rangers have made
numerous arrests and obtained quite
a number of convictions of persons
disregarding these orders.* In this
and other respects the cooperation
of the Commission of Public Safety
has been exceedingly valuable
Following a fall and spring with
many running fires, which drained
our fund, we were forced to call for
financial aid from the Public Safety
Commission and the federal govern­
ment. The former paid fire expenses
to the extent of more than $6,000
and the latter increased our allot
ment by $2,000.
These running fires are different
from the slow-burning peat fires
with which we have had to contend
at practically all seasons, except
mid-winter. Some, in fact, continue
to burn the year around. The con­
trol and extinguishment of peat
fires has of -necessity been- put up
mainly to the local authorities.
If this kind of fire is to be hand
led at all successfully by the state,
there must be a complete field force
to prevent the witting- of such fires
or to extinguish them when' small.

cessive administrations, have done
all in their power to -provide effect­
ive means for preventing and fight­
ing forest tfires, but the legislature
consistently refused to grant the ne­
cessary j&ppropiiations. The result
of this short-sighted poHcy is that
the forest service have been able to
give the forest country only a 40
per cent fifce protection,"
With regard to the recent destruc­
tive fires Mr. Cox shows that every­
thing possible under the circumstan­
ces had been done to prevent the
calamity, and that it in all probabil­
ity would have been prevented if
the necessary funds had not been re­
fused for the organization and main­
tenance of an adequate force of fire
fighters. The Public Safety Commis­
sion had done all it could do in the
premises and thanks to its effective
cooperation many running fires have
been checked this fall. But nothing
short of a comprehensive system of
fire protection will avail to forestall
destruction of life and property in
the forest regions of the state. The
question is up to the people. They
are the rulers and theirs is the re­
sponsibility. Let every voter read
and read again Mr. Cox's instructive
statement, which here follows in
full:
"First, with reference to appropri
ations asked for and those granted
during the legislative sessions since
1911, at which session the Forest
Service was created, with funds of
§75,000 per year for 1912 and 1913.

been a procedure „pf possible^ but
doubtful effectiveness. We might
have gone to. the Governor and the
Safety Commission and asked for
th^ $100,000, but did not do so. I
would not have asked for less. It all

and systematic patrol, the expense

was not expected to meet."
