NINE THOUSAND FEET IN THE
AIR WOMAN KEEPS WATCH
FOR SIGNS OF FIRE.
DENVER, Colo.—This is forest
fire time.
But there are no fires in the Pike
national forest; and it is largely be
cause of a slim girl in smock and
breeches.
I climbed Devil's Head to where
Helen Dowe, woman fire lookout,
keeps watch all summer long for the
faint threads of smoke that mean
danger.
9.000 Feet in the Air.
Forty three miles out of Denver
the road came to an end. I got out
of the automobile and began zigzagg
ing up the bright, hot, lonely trail
that runs three-quarters of a mile
up the side of a mountain, to an al
titude of 9,000 feet.
Up over large and small boulders
the trail went, past trembling aspens
and spruce and pine disterted with
struggling against mountain winds.
And at the end of the trail, a lad
der of sticks nailed across two logs,
soared through a seam in a 200-foot
red sandstone wall—the only way
to get up to the observatory.
Somehow or other, T climbed that,
too.
The lookout station is a tiny,
square house, glass on all four sides.

of eastern Colorado.

shy smile, in high boots, trousers and
There is barely room for it on the
pinnacle on which it balances. If it
were not bolted to the rock, the first
breeze would blow it off. Its official
altitude is 9,348 feet.
Like a Giant Map.
Below, and all around, the world
lay like a map. On three sides it was
crumbled into a million wrinkles. On
the fourth it.stretched away like an
endless floor. The wrinkles were
mountains and valleys. Pike’s, Long’s
and Gray’s peaks notched the hori
embroidered linen smocks, was turn
ing a queer, circular contrivance.
Her binoculars lay at her hand and
a telephone hung beside her knee.
“This is an Osborn fire finder,” she
explained. “When 1 see a smoke I
adjust it and it points out on the
map the exact location of the fire.
Then I telephone the ranger nearest
that point.”
At the foot of the ladder is Miss
Tcwe's cabin,
Doesn’t Get Lonely.
“Don’t vou get lonely?” I asked.
“No,” she said. “I came up on the
15th of May last year” and stayed
until October 24, ard only went out
to civilization once in that time. Thig
vear I came June 1, and I haven’t
Feen out yet.
“My mail comes whenever some
one happens to bring it. Sometimes
come gir] friend comes up and stays
with me awhile, but sometimes I am
alone for two or three weeks.”
Miss Dowe has a good deal to do.

MAINE ELECTION

REPUBLICANS PILE UP TWO TO
ONE MAJORITY. LEAGUE OF |
NATIONS THE ISSUE.
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 13.—Re
turns from 478 precincts out of 632
in the state give for governor: Park
hurst (republican), 102,156; Mecln
tire (democrat), 53,100.
Returns from all congressional dis
tricts show that every republican
candidate has won by a large majori
ty.
Fought on National Lines.
The state campaign was fought
cut almost wholly on national lines.
Both parties sent into the state
many of their leaders, including the
two candidates for vice president,
Gov. Calvin Coolidge for the repub
licans, and Franklin D. Roosevelt for
the democrats.
The chief issue which all these
speakers emphasized was the league
of nations, the republicans urging
rejection of the league covenant un
less accompanied by strong reserva
tions, and the democrats advocatini
ratification of the league withou
reservations which would change its
terms.
Shows Resentment, Says Parkhurst.
Bangor, Me.—Col. Frederick H.
Parkhurst, republicay candidate for
governor, in a statement tonight on
the election, said that ‘“‘as the cam
paign has been vigorously contested
by the democratg on national issues
the result must be accepted through
out the contry as giving most con
clusive evidence that the voters of
Maine resent the autocratic and un-
American administration that the
democrats have given us during the
past seven years.”
