PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FOREST
AND PRAIRIE FIRES IN MINNIE
sofa.
The Following Circular Has Been
issued by Gen. G. G. Andrews, Chief
Fire Warden of Minnesota,

Circular No. 6.
State of Minnesota, Office of Chief Fire
Warden, st. Paul, Mimi, May 26, 1870
Fire Wardens:
l. A package containing ten warning
placards has just been mailed from this
'ofnce to each chairman of town board and
10 each fire warden in unorganized ter
ir1tory, and they should be carefully
posted, as provided by Section 4, of the
Forest reservation Act of April 49, 1895.
Af any should be received by chairmen
In towns so much settled as not to re-
quire precautions against forest or prairie
fires the town board can exercise it's
discretion in regard to their being posted
L. Chairmen are requested to prompt
iay I'LL and return the blank entitled Fire
Wardens for 1897 also, hand to their
colleagues copy Of within circulars,
which should be carefully studied.
III. Section 6, of said law requires you
TO take precautions to prevent the set
ting of forest or prairie fires" 1t may
be about impossible to extinguish a forest
Ss1re in dry and very windy weather; but
II fire wardens do their duty thoroughly
they can almost entirely prevent the oc-
Hcurrence of dangerous fires. It is VIOLA
rtion of Section 8, of the act for anyone
10 set fire in dry weather. Fire wardens
must make this known and they must
firmly enforce the law by exemplary pro-
-secutions. This is the third year the law
has been in operation and it should nov
be strictly enforced. Fire wardens will
themselves be liable to prosecution If they
Tail to have it so enforced. They should
take a pride in being able to report at
the end of the season that no fires have
occurred in their town.
~. The annual reports of fire wardens
for 1896 show there were in that year
fifteen less forest and prairie fires caused
by railroad locomotives than in 1895.
There is, however, much room for fur
ther Improvement. An engineer whose To-
connective sets fire second time should be
prosecuted. 1t would not be advisable,
however, on making arrest to take him
from his train, but he should have a week
or ten days notice in which to appear and
answer before the court. Such offenses
are likewise indictable by the grand jury.
Fire wardens owe it to themselves to see
that there is in their districts a marked
decrease of fires caused by railroad loco
motives.
V. Complaint has been publicly made
within the last few months that fires have
been set by people to obtain pay for put
ting them out. Such criminal and dis
graceful proceedings may have occurred
In few instances, but they certainly
cannot be common. Fire wardens who

nave reason to suspect any offense of
this sort should, for the honor of their
community, have it stopped, and it is
hoped they will use a wise course and
accomplish such object
vi. Several complaints have been re-
ceived from fire wardens that the county
commissioners have refused to audit their
accounts. Under Section 8, of the Forest
Preservation Act of April 18, 1895, county
commissioners have authority, and it is
their duty, to reject any item or account

They cannot, however, arbitrarily refuse
to audit Examine and settle) an ac-
count If they were to so do, or unjustly

nullify, the law. 1t is their duty to
audit the accounts of fire wardens and
their helpers and allow what, as fair
minded men, they are satisfied is just
Section 8, of Chapter 81, of the General
Laws OF Minnesota applies. to all public
officers.
VII. The diffusion of knowledge in re-
spect to forestry will promote observance
OF the Forest Preservation Act. When
people understand how much the wealth
of our state could be increased by a
proper management of it's forest resources
they will be much more careful about
causing forest fires. Forestry means the
raising of timber on land not suitable for
agriculture. In Saxony and Wurtemberg
(among other countries) which have lone
had superior forestry management, a con.
tinuous annual net profit of from So to 81
per acre is derived from the forests. If
Minnesota will lay the foundations of a
good forestry system (and the prevention
of forest fires is the first important step
in such system) it will build up a con-
tinuous, increasing and grand labor-fur-
n1sh1ng resource, and those who are doing
ever so humble a part in the feeble begin
ming of this work may feel that they are
rendering honorable service to their COM
munity and state.
Thousands of new settlers and farmers
X the older states made the great mis-
take of clearing up land that was only
suitable for forest. From such tracts they
obtained very few crops and then the
| land rapidly degenerated till now it is
In many places, but little else than naked
sand. Whereas, If they had left such
tracts in forest it would have been a
source of continuous profit to them Many
settlers in Northern Minnesota are re-
peating the same mistake. 1t would be
more profitable for them if they would
look further into the future and retain
in forest every acre that is really insult
able for agriculture.
The more you can interest people in the
important SUBJECT of forestry the lighter
will be your work of enforcing the law.
Very respectfully, &C. G. Andrews,
Chief Fire Warden.
