In addition to these losses it cost the forest service $5,204.54 to suppress the fire and prevent its doing greater damage. The Hidden Lakes, on the Okanogan national -forest, are in a reiiiote and isolated region of much scenic beau ty. It is seldom visited by anyone ex cept sheepmen and forest rangers. Large fires in such places arc hard to handle because of the distance from towns where men and supplies may be obtained. 'Most stockmen realise the fire damage to timber and forage, and are very careful in the use of fire on the ranges. Grazing permittees on the nat:onal forests are bound by the terms of their permits to prevent fire and to aid in suppressing" any fires that get started on the forest in the vicinity of their ranges from Cnliforn!:! 11) suit cases caiv wlK-n arrested. liOYAIi Al!( II MASONS, Avn:xno! .
