E. Eerner, ‘division. superintend- ent of the Northern Pacific, has issued a letter to all agents calling attention to the fact that the danger from fire to property adjoining the right of way will. be considerably increased for the next.few weeks, and, that, while this danger cannot be ‘entirely eliminated, even by the greatest effort on the part of railway employes, arrangements for firebreaks and the burning of grass’ and weeds along the right-of-way at all points whehe it has .been ‘possible to. secure help has been resorted to to reduce the risk to a minimum. “Farmers can do a,great deal in the matter of protecting their crops by plowing fire-breaks around their fields or around stacks of grain ant ‘stacks of hay,” says Supt. Berner. “At this time, when grain and feed are so greatly needed, we feel that it is the duty of everyone to do all in their power to conserve if. and | am sure that those living in the ‘little cities along our line and the farmers adjoin- ine our right-of-way will do their share.” ——-surw.s s Fine (New Daughter.
