The Old Stand LIGHTING A PROLIFIC j SOURCE OF FOREST FIRES Exhaustive inquiry has established tho fact thnt lightning ranks next to railroads as a source of forest fires. Furest officers say that tho increasing care with fire on ho part of the ruil rouds and the publio generally tends to make lightning the largest single con tributing cause. This statement represents a change of view from thnt held , loss than a decade ago in this country, when for est journuls gravely argued whether lightning caused fo,st fires, though it was kuown that tro were the objects most often struck. Trees are said to be oftenest struck simply because they are so numerous, and extending upward they shorten tho distance between the ground and the cle'uls; further, their branches in the nir nd routs well into the earth invite eWtricnl discharges. While certain trees arc said to invite lightning, and others to bo immune - frum stroke it seems to be a fnct that Employment Agency and Real Estate .

The first picking of the Season is always the best picking. This Season we are showing more suits at Fifteen Dollars than ever before. Other prices from Ten to Thirty Dollars. I , 141 N. Commercial St any kind of tree will be struck, and the most numerous tree speciea in any locality is the one most likely to suf fer. Other things being equal lightning seeks the tullest tm or an isolated tree, or one on high ground. A deep rooted tree is a better conductor than a shallow-rooted one, and a tree full of sap, or wet with rain, is of course a better conductor than a dry one. Lightning sets fires by igniting the trie itself, partioulnrly when it is dead, or partly decayed and punky, or by igniting the dry "humus or duff at its base. The forest soil, when dried out, ignites readily, because it is made of partly decayed twigs and leaves, and it can hold a smouldering fire for a considerable period. It is prubnblo that most of the lightning-set fires start in the duff. In the moutains of southern Cnli (ornin, Arizona, and New Mexico there are likelv to be each yenr a number of electrical disturbances known as "drv thunder storms." They como at this end of the long dry season, and being unaccompanied by rulu aro very likelv to start many serious fires. For this reason the forest service hns to keep up its muximum fire fighting strength in those regions until the rains are fully established. In the plans and organization for fire fightdig the ser vice anus particularly to catch these unprevcntriblo lightniiig sot fires at the time they start. WILL RECALL TROOPS. Sacramento, Cal., May 1.
