DAMAGE TO- SETTLERS -HAS BEEN GREAT IN PAST YEARS. Precautions Should Be Taken To Prevent Fires at This Season of the Year. Spring and fall are the seasons for forest fires m Northern Minnesota, and already this spring a number of serious fires have -occurred in this yicinity. The damage to timber is always great when fires occur in the wouds, and all efforts to stop them are in most cases of no avail. The fires are in most cases started by carelessness on the part of campers who leave their campfires burning ~and by farmers burning brush. In the latter case the cause is not usu- ally from carelessness, but through the raising of the wind after the brush pile has been fired. "A number of very serious forest tires have taken place in the vicinity of Bemidji in the past years and at one time the fire department and all_available fighting force of the village were called out to check the blaze: Although no serious losses have been reported so far this spring;-ample precautions. should bohaken for the preventions of the blazes.
