On the trip to and from Rawlins, Cole tound that he could not fly) closer to the earth than 380 feet be-} cause of the rough country, over! which he had to fly. Most of the trip was made at a height of 8,000 feet above sea level. Cole returned alone after leaving J. Y. Stock in Rawlins.. He made the return trip of 85-miles in approxi- mately 40 minutes. The trip to Raw- lins which was against the wind re- quired an hour and 40 minutes. Cole beliéves that Chandler prob- ably lost his life in one of the many deep cuts near Rawlins. ‘These are still filled with nearly 16 feet of snow in some places. | Chandler left his light touring car! when about 15 miles from the Horse} Track camp of the Associated Oil Tracks show that he was! headed for the camp.

D. JUDKINS (State Game Warden) When you go into the National forests or any other wooded area on your camping or hunting trip, do you realize how much damage you do by carelessly leaving your campfire unextinguished or by throwing a} lighted match or cigarette into the underbrush? Do you realize that during the last ten days in July 280 forest fires were started in the National Forests of one Forest District and that over 50 per cent of these fires were due to the carelessness of campers? | The cost to the United States gov- ernment for fighting fires during the present year has already totalled ov- er $2,000,000. \That expended in Wyoming has amounted to over $10,-| 000.

NAVAL OFFICERS HERE THISWEEK the watershed is injured and the sup- | ply of water is materially cyt down, thus injuring these towns and being a general detriment to the public, Forest fires exterminate ‘many of | the game animals and birds in the| state. Remember this, Mr. Hunter! and Camper! If you wish to hunt} you mist help to protect the game, | and protection of game does not | alone mean the stopping of illegal | hunting. There are many ways in} which you may help to protect the | game and stopping forest fires is one of the best. ! Some fires, such as those set by | lightning, cannot be prevented, but | by far the greater number of fires are caused by carelessness end indif- ference, and can be prevented. Fires must be prevented as much ‘as possi- ble by the will of the people, and when started must be put out with- out delay. When you start a camp fire, do not leave it until it is ex- tinguished—then throw earth on it to be sure it is out. Alweys pinch the end of your lighted match before throwing it away. Crush your cigar- ette and throw it in a rocky or dusty}. place where there is no danger of its coming in contact with an inflam- Thus it will do away with the| Showing of Slides and Five-Min-| able substance.
