their duties to be looking after the "burning of slash by home- 

 steaders within the district, and we recommend that in case of 

 violation of the Fallon Fire Law the individual, firm or corpora- 

 tion so violating it shall be immediately prosecuted for the better 

 protection of his law-abiding neighbor. 



We recommend that the Association purchase ten or twelve 

 more pack horses before the season of 1915 begins, it being our 

 opinion that a few hundred dollars invested in pack horses will 

 be of great benefit to the Association, and will assist in pre- 

 venting fire losses should an emergency such as that of August 

 20th, 1914, occur again. 



We recommend that during the fire season a clerk be fur- 

 nished the State Fire Warden in order that daily reports of 

 weather conditions, fires, location of patrolmen, etc., may be 

 sent out to members, it having developed during the season 

 past that the warden has been unable to keep the members 

 fully advised of conditions. 



We desire to thank the press of the Inland Empire for the 

 support given our organization and the timber operators for their 

 careful attention to the law of Idaho and the fire rules of the 

 Association. 



We feel that we can congratulate the members of the Asso- 

 ciation on the slight loss of resources sustained by them indi- 

 vidually, and have no hesitancy in saying that without our or- 

 ganization there would have been immense fire losses during 



1914.
