Eiahtina Forest Fires.

Forest Superintendent |. b. Hanna
sent a force of men up the canon, near
Santa Fe, to extinguish a forest fire
that had started there. On Monday
he will 60 to Ell Porvenir to investigate
the cause of a fire that had started on
the eastern side of the reserve and was
extinguished after considerable dam
age was done. There are only -four
forest rangers on the Pecos reserve
while at least eight are needed, but the
funds at the disposal of the interior
department for the forest reserves is
so small that it is curtailing expenses.
Last year Superintendent Hanna ex-
pended $4,000 of government money to
extinguish fires on the reserves in New
Mexico and Arizona. In Colorado. on
one reserve, $35, 900 was expended last
year for the same purpose. Mr.. Hanna
says that he has been able to trace
nearly all forest fires to careless sheep
herders. The regulations governing
the forest reserves are very strict re-
garding camp fires, ETC., and several
sheepmen on the Gila reserve have
paid from $50 to $500 for the lesson OF
taking care of camp fires. The only
way to build a camp fire, says Mr..
Hanna, is to dig an excavation for 1t,
to extinguish the fire when leaving it,
and to throw the eXcavated dirt ON the
ashes. The bottom in the forest re-
serves consisting of pine cones, need
les, leaves and dried limbs, is as dry
and as infiammable as tinder at pres
ent. owing to the prevailing drouth.
The only way to fight a forest fire, as
water is unavailable for that purpose
is to start back fire toward the orig
inal fire, but the wind often carries
sparks so far that 1t is extremely diff
cult to extinguish fire that has gain
ed some headway.
