Estimating Damage Done
by Recent Forest Fires

1t is Impossible to estimate with ex-
actness the damage wrought by the
forest fires that have been raging in
Washington. Oregon. Wyoming and
Colorado already this fall Not until
the burned territory has been thor
oughly gone over can any authorita-
tive estimate be made. II is probable
that the severity of the forest fires in
the west this year will result In Sc
curing better protection through legis-
lation, and also an extension OF the
national forest reserve system.
The greatest factor in the safety OF
the forest reserve is the stringent set
of rules in force, acting as a proven
tive. AS soon as a person enters a
government forest reserve he finds
signs staring him in the face and In
forming him that he must not kindle
an open fire In the reserve Every
camper is required to have stove OF
some sort. AS folding sheet-ron
stoves can be secured at small ex-
pense. this is not a hardship. as many
imagine. Sometimes this law is brok-
en- In ridiculously costly fashion, as a
recent instance In the White River
forest reserve, in Colorado, proved A
party of clergymen were hunting and
fishing in the reserve. near the place
where President Roosevelt hunted
lions. They had folding
camp stove. and intended to comply
with the law. but after using the stove

they deliberately dumped the hot Goals
on the ground and left them. The fire
soon spread to the dry timber, and
many acres were burned before tho
rangers got the flames under control.
Scientists claim that one Of the
largest fires in Colorado this fall was
started by meteor. The fall of one
of these heavenly bodies WAS noticed
In Platte canyon, not many miles
from Denver. Soon afterward a for
est fire broke out, consuming many
acres of timber before it could be con-
trolled. There were no campers in
the vicinity, and was regarded as GER
tain that the meteor started the con-
fagration.
The government reserves are In
every sense a national institution,
This was shown recently in Colorado
when wealthy corporation lawyer of
New York, who was hunting In the
White River forest reserve, accident
ally started a forest fire. He was
compelled to fight the fire for several
days and nights and when finally he
and his party reached civilization
they were so exhausted they could
hardly stand. Neither wealth nor In
luence stood the lawyer In good
stead, and in all probability he will
iave to answer to the government
for the destruction of
learly 500 acres OF timber.-New
