(3) Building a camp fire on any portion of any national forest which has 

 been closed to such fires by the proper authority during a period of exceptional 

 fire hazard. 



(4) Smoking on the national forests during periods of great fire danger 

 when public announcement of the danger has been made by the proper forest 

 official. 



(5) Throwing a burning cigarette, cigar, match, or similar substance in any 

 place where it may start a fire. 



(6) Entering national-forest land without permit from the local forest 

 ranger in exceptional cases when the fire danger is extremely high. 



Paragraphs 4 and 6 apply only during extremely hazardous 

 periods, and the public is given notice in such cases. 



Congress has authorized the Secretary of Agriculture in his dis- 

 cretion to offer rewards not exceeding $500 for information leading 

 to the arrest and conviction of persons who have set fires on national- 

 forest land. 



The 1926-27 Legislature of Utah passed a law which makes it a 

 misdemeanor to set on fire or expose to danger of destruction by fire, 

 in the State, any growing trees, shrubs, brush, grass, undergrowth, 

 or cultivated crops on any lands, public or private, except on a 

 man's own property. In Utah misdemeanors are punishable by a. 

 fine of not more than $299 or imprisonment of not more than six 

 months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
