Portions of the Black tiills and
Harney National Forests located
in Wyoming south of Highway 14
were closed to human use Nov. 1.
The move had been expected be-
cause of the extreme fire danger in
the forests resulting from dry wea-
ther conditions. The order came
from the Denver office of Donald
E. Clark, xegional forester.
The forests will remain closed
until weather and ground condi-
tions are considered safe for nor-
mal use of the area.
The order postponed the deer
season in that area which would
have opened Nov. 1. Only persons
authorized by Forest Service of-
ricers will be allowed to enter the
forests.
The action followed close on the
heels of the South Dakota Fish
and Game Commision's decision to

Trash Torches Thirty
Acres Near Carlile
Junction Tuesday
Burning trash at the Carlile "Y"
touched off a blaze Tuesday that
scorched 30 acres of Art Montgom-
ery's land before it was brought
under control about 11 a.m. by
people living in the area.
Starting Tuesday morning about
9:15, the fire, fanned by a south-
west wind swept over a pasture
and burned into the timber along
Miller creek.
The fire was slowed when it
bur4~ed against a rocky hill. A
wind shift also slowed the blaze.
Forest Service crews with two
pumping units assisted in mopping-
up operations.

Vote Across State
Democratic candidates in Wyo-
ming fell before the blizzard of
Eisenhower votes, and the Republi-
can party 4n Wyoming stormed to
victory Tuesday. After 20 years,
the Republicans have returned to
power led by Dwight Eisenhower
who was elected president in an
avalanche of votes.
Among the Democrats to fall
was Senator Joseph O'Mahoney,
sixth ranking United States Sen-
ator. Governor Frank Barrett de-
feated O'Mahoney by 6,000 votes
for the seat in the U. S. Senate.
O'Mahoney conceded defeat Wed-
nesday morning after Barrett had
continued to maintain his lead.
Reflecting the huge vote cast
all across the nation were the
figures from 600 precincts in Wy-
oming. Eiscnhower received 66,-
412 to Stevenson's 36,449. In 1940,
