commissioners that since the ferry
is part of the county road system,
property owners on Harstine
should pay nothing to cross on the
ferry. The money spent on keeping
this ferry running should go into
building a substantial bridge.
Property owners on Harstine
who pay taxes as high as those on
the mainland, and higher in some
cases, should have the right of ac-
cess to the property on which they
pay taxes. Every weekend the
State Park at 3arrells Cove is full
of people from far and near who
come by car on the ferry to camp
out there and on any other non
posted land.
Lots of news clown"on the south-
west shores of Harstine. Mr. and
Mrs. Bob Barnett, twin sons David

great accompaniment.

peditior.n,
Most at'eas of the state have re-
ceived little or no rain for a
month.
State Land Commissioner Bert
Cole said 388 fires lvtve bm'ned
754 acres of stale-protected land
this year, compared with 166 fires
and 393 acres nt this time in
1964.
In Mason County, :11 fires have
burned 20.5 acres this year while
last year at this time 12 fires had
bm~ed 3.7 acres. In other words,
the acres burned this year are
5~,.~ times that burned during the
same amount of time last year.
OVER THE three-day weekend,
Mason County fared well.
A cause for a fire reported at.
the city dump, July 6, ha~u been
is-covered by the Department of
Natural Resources. Apparently
children playing at the dump
caught a garter snake and started
a fire when burning its head!
Mothers please take note!
The Forest Service at Hoodsport
reported a smoker's fire just above
Cushman I~alls, July 4. Luckily,
Ivan Fawver of Kent saw the fire
while fishing and immediately re-
~orted it. A spot approximately
5 feet in diameter was burned.
The fact• that we have fewer
acres burned in our county com-
pared to that burned in our neigh-
boring counlies is no accident. Of
prime importance in this fire pre-
vention is Ute Department of Nat-
ural Resources, which is headed
by Frances Wrigllt, District Ad-
ministrator.
A redent "visit with Mr. Wright
proved to be most informative.
He explained to me that the De-
partment is composed of eight dif-
ferent divisions, tim most import-
ant of which is fire protection of
all state-owned and privately-
owned land in the Shelton district
[including the south end of Jeffer-
son County and excluding the Ta-
huya area. (National Forests. in
our county are supm-¢ised by the
Forest Service). The Department
is aiming for a reduction in smok-
er's fires and the elimination of
careless debris burning for the
year of 1965. In the last 20 years,
21 percent of our total fires have
been attributed to smoker's fires, i
These fires have amounted to eight
percent of oar acreage loss, Debris
burning has cost us 29 percent
acreage loss. Strict enforcement
of burning laws will be one of the
factors in eliminating fires caused
by debris burning.
