Charles Larson is the name of the man who died at St. An- thony’s hospital yesterday, a short time after being admitted to that institution, There was much speculation as to the identity of Larson, as there was absclutely nothing on his person to indicate who hej was, what was his occupation or his place of residence. As the man did not volunteer any in- formation coucerning himself and appeared unable or unwilling to answer any inquiries, it was impossible to ascertain any defi- nite information as to his name, ete. Coroner Marcum examined the remains and concurred in the opinion of Dr. Morrison, that| Larson died from natural causes, was not the victim of any violence, ; nor did he take any arug of any kind.

DECENATIV/I® ma - WANF THE LOGGERS - 1 BURN SLASHINGS § me Commercial Club Considers sures for Preventing Forest Fires. CUSTOMIS NOW TO LEAVE WASTE T0 BECOME A MENACE Slashings :‘Dry and Catch Fire Very Easily, Starting Big Con- % fagrations. Northope, Oct. 16,—The North- ome Commercial clubis consider- ing the /problem of adopting measures that will prevent forest fires in the north country, by destroying the refuse and slash- ings left by loggers who, when they have cut the pine und cther tim ber, leave the tops and limbs to dry and become as tinder, fuel for destructive fires. The ¢lub, at a recent meeting, adopted resolutions favoring the passing of a state law at the next session of the legislature requiring log- gers, in all operations, to burn the slashings left after the logs are cut. : There has "always been more or less danger in this community from forest fires, since logging operations have been carried on. The tops and slashings have been left in large piles, have dried until they are as inflammable as powder, and whenever a fire has once gotten a start it has swept over a large territory in a short time. As the country is becom ing more thickly settled, the danger of fire is greater, as the homesteader, in clearing his land, must of necessity burn the refuse unmerchantable timber, with the ever-present danger of igniting the piles left for years by loggers. _The logging:. have been carried on at the Chippewa - Indian - reservation, under the provisions of the Morris Chippewa law, have -dewonstrated that the slashings and refuse left from logging can be entirely burned and cleaned up for the small sum of fifteen cents per thousand feet of logs cut from the timber. The Morris | have the store in running order law makes it imperative that the slashings be burned, and they bave been burned very easily, although it was contended at the time of the passage of the Morris law that the slashings, being taken from green pine trees, could not be burned for at least a year after the pine was cut. This contention was proven un- true, and for the last three winters the slashings have been burned but a week or ten days after they were piled. It is douotful if such a law could be passed in the- legisla ture; but if it could, the benefits to this country would be - many fold. NEW LATH MILL WILL BE WORKING BY NOVEMBER | H. N.
