FX SPRINGMEY ON DIES ENDS FIRE This week's storm, which brought more than one and one-half Inches of rain at Truckee, ended one of the longest dry seasons on record in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe areas, it was stated today by H. I. Snider, district forest ranger. A record was set for the length of time that fire lookouts remained on duty.

The stations were opened on June 1 and were closed yesterday. Only once before, Snider said, has the lookout service extended Into the winter months and that was l1 929 when a storm on December 8 finally ended the fire season. All fire protection forces were discontinued yesterday and lookouts and guards will store away most of the fire fighting apparatus for the winter months. Considerable difficulty had been exDerienced durlnz the past six weeks in keeping pump ers and various water fire fighting equipment from freezing. In the Truckee district of the Tahoe national forest fifty-five fires burned during the 1936 fire season, but were most all controlled before causing extensive damage.

A total of only 213 acres of timber and grazing lands was burned. The causes of the fires were divided as follows: Lightning, 13; railroad brakeshoes and carelessly thrown musees, unextinguished campfires, unextinguished matches and cigarettes, 15; debris burning, 3: miscellaneous, fl. "miscellaneous" the chief cause was dumping hot ashes in dry vegetation, although a few were caused by burning buildings and children playing with matches. "Excellent cooperation," said Snider, "was experienced from work crews, local residents, and the public in general in aiding in reporting and extinguishing fires in their inclp-iency. The small one hundred-gallon pick-up tankers played a very important part In reducing fire damage also, especially In saving buildings and preventing roadside fires from burning beyond control.

We are aiming to construct more filling places for these tankers in the future and urge local concerns to furnish any such devices necessary to make this type of equipment more effective in their locality." Former Nevada Resident Dies Funeral services were held in Pasadena, last Friday for Robin Van Patten, former Nevada resident, who died in Pasadena on Wednesday. Mr. Van Patten, who was a well known resident of Austin and later of Tonopah, moved to the Coast some time ago. He was a brother of Mrs. Nettie Higley of Reno and an uncle of Mrs.

Ouida Hewitt of Sparks and Charles Higley or Reno.
