The rangers Lave promptly reported violations of law in setting 

 fires without permits or names of persons who were responsible 

 for fires, and a large number of fines have been imposed. Nearly 

 the entire expense, in some towns, of extinguishing the fires, has 

 been repaid by the parties who were responsible. The effect of 

 this work is also very beneficial in that such cases are given pub- 

 licity, and not only the person who was punished but others who 

 have knowledge are far more cautious in regard to the use of fires.
