As a matter of fact, the Senate In

The probabilities are that there will

the Senate Insurgents on the question
of tariff revision. They could not get
together on the Canadian reciprocity

not likely to do so during the present

consideration of special tariff bills

According to one of the foremost mem

Forest fires., one of the greatest
sources of destruction of the most val

be restricted and their terrors largely
reduced If the people will co-operate
with the State Foreater In the admin
istration of the new forestry law en

One of the most Important provi

closed season for burning from June
1 to - October 1. during which period
outdoor fires of all kinds are pro
hibited except under most stringent
regulations and the probability of
heavy penalties.
In this connection the State Forester
urges upon everyone the necessity of
doing all possible burning before the
closed season begins and thus save the
trouble and risk of doing It by permis
sion during that season of greatest
danger when fire spreads so easily and
rapidly.
The State Forester desires the as
sistance and co-operation of everyone
In the protection of property from for

end Invites suggestions and Informa
