S. 40 through Bridgeland and Ioka. He recognized the need for improvement on the newly designated state highway between Mtn.

L. Alger, proprietor of the Moon Lake resort and his son. Mr. Rowley saw the fire and by digging a trench around the two hundred yard area, had it under control by 8.30 a. m., less than an hour after it was first noticed. Two Provo recreationists. L. M. Weight and Charles H. Montag, found to be responsible for the fire, were fined $5.00 each in Justice of the Peace Will Snyder's court at Altonah. One of them had tossed a lighted match beside the trail not thinking of the damage that might result. They paid the fine without piotest, expressing their sincere regret over the Incident. Another small file in the flat south of Moon Lake was extinguished by C. C. C. workers at the Moon Lake spike camp Tuesday after it was reported by F. L. Maxwell and Chester Lyman of Duchesne. The forest has never before been as dry as it is this summer, Mr. Rowley said, and the utmost caution Is necessary to prevent a fire which if given a few hours start will devastate the entire area, Signs arriving this week from the foiest department, he said, will prohibit smoking on the trails, Violations of the foiest fire laws will be prosecuted to the full extent. , Vacationists are ui ged to use and enjoy the foiest, but are admonished to use care so that others may also enjoy its beauty.
