FIRE THE
ENEMY OF
THE FOREST
The Great Destroyer of Tim
ber and Generally Let
Loose by Carelessness

The worst enemy of the forests is
fire. To combat it the forest service
maintains a fire fighting system. The
reports show that while the reserve area
has almost doubled, the burned area
has been reduced by more than one half
and the percentage, of area burned has
been reduced by threefowths.
Only since February l, 1905, have
the reserves been under the administra-
ton of the forest service. This reduc-
tion is therefore the showing of the
FIRST eleven months If administration
by government foresters. The working
out of a system of effective control of
FIRE on the reserves is still in its in
fancy. "Too much freD is still the
judgment of the forester on the stu
alton. OF course, bad seasons play
large past in. in.tseterminine the fire losses
OF year. Even with the best pos
sible system of protection there are
bound TO be wide fluctuations between
individual years. But it is believed |
that under expert care the injury to
the national forests can be rapidly and
permanently cut down. The direct loss
from forest fires in the United States
runs annually into many millions of
dollars while the indirect loss is beyond
estimate. bttht.H
In developing its system of protec-
tion the forest service availed itself
Of past experience, home and foreign.
The reserve officers-forest guards, as
sistant forest rangers, deputy forest
rangers forest rangers, deputy forest
anil forest supervisors
are under the direct supervision of the
office of the service at Washington,
guided by q definite code of instruc~ {

THE OLD RAIN STICK. I"
Over a Century Since It Was Carried
in America-Time Has Wrought
Many Changes. es

From the heavy, cumbrous rair
sticks of 100 to the dainty umbrella
of 1906 is long jump. Each succeed
ing year finds changes in umbrella
styles, usually confined to the handles
and upper adornments of the rod. This
years style have many beautiful fan.
cies, worked out in gold, silver, pearl
and ivory. The finest silk spreads over
the ribs of these rain shields, and they
are stout enough for the use they re.
ceive, but would probably give very
rides in the subway twice a day in
crowd time
1t is curious to observe what a diff.
ference exists between these wire, steel
and pearl creations of today and the
first UMBRELLA ever made, that erected
in the literal significance of the word,
by Jonas Hanway of London in the
yead 1856.
Mr.. Hanway detested the cold d. ipr
ping of London rain, so he set about
the making of rain stick, which.
when completed, weighed a good
twelve pounds, and on its first appear
ance over the head of the redoubtable
Hanway caused commotion among the
beholders. Over Hanway's head his
tentl-ike arrangement, the cloth of
heavy snow cotton, extended like
great roof, sufficiently. spacious to shell
ter seven people. It's ribs were of heavy
whalebone half an inch thick, and
braced with bars of wood. 1t required
a man of muscle to accomplish FIVE
mile stroll with the first umbrella.
In a month after its first appearance
few Others had bravely come forth to
defy public opinion and the rain, but
it was not until thirty-seven years later
that the umbrella was seen on the
streets of old New York
In modest shop in Philadelphia, the
first umbrellas of an American make
were turned out in 1898, and New York
fashionables of the period might have
been seen the same year walking in the
rain, delighted with the unwieldy ar,
which they called a rain
stick. It's real recognition as human

tions; but large authority, with cores
ponding responsibility, is placed upon
the local officers themselves. All ex.
ccpt the forest guards are civil service
employees, and the salaries paid range
from 1920 to s25oO year. Each super
visor is responsible for the patrol of
his reserve and is expected to devise
systems best suited to his locality. AL
ready, in the brief period since the or
ganization Of this system, high stan
dard of efficiency has been developed,
and a much higher is expected.
A constant lookout for fires is kept
from ridge trails and commanding
points during the danger season, and
the reserves are pat-olled as efficiently
as possible with the force availble.
Roads, trails and fire lines are com
structed, affording means of rapid
communication and points of vantage
at which to arrest the progress of a
fs1e, and telephone lines are being run
to help give warning and summon as
sistance.
Every forest supervisor ise author
lied, in person or through a subordin. I
ate, to hire temporary men, purchase
material and supplies, and pay for
their Transportation from place to place
to extinguish a fire. When the cost
is likely to exceed 5000 the supervisor
telegraprs the forester for authority |
to incur the additional expense.
Forest hangers are required to report
to the supervisor regarding all

AZ, 500. 900 board feet. The total fo
all reserves was 1852 $4,000 board feet
with a value of $10l,2s2, but the great
est loss in money value was 1920 on
the Priest River reserve. The total
cost of extra labor and supplies for
fighting fire was $12,573.52.
The seasons of greatest danger from
fire are spring and fall. The first Is
now fully at hand, as the Michigan
losses already testify; and, unless ev.
cry precaution is taken by all con-
cerned, vast damage from fire, on. bot h
public and private forests, may again
be expected. General cooperation of
all coming in contact with the forests
is earnestly to be sought, first, to
guard sedulously against the starting
of fires, and, second, to aid in every
way in extirguishing such as occur.
In this connection may be mentioned
several steps already taken toward CO.
operation among the forest service, the
state governments an local interests
in fighting fires.
In California the forest service, the
state forester and the lumber
companies are cooperating to prevent
and fight fires, all forest rangers hav-
ing been made state fire wardens In
Oregon and Washington the forest SER
vice. is cooperating with the timber
to the same end. The gov
ernor of Idaho is inaugurating a.move-
ment to organize the timber companies
of that state to cooperate with each
other and with the state in fighting
fires, and has asked the assistance of
the forester, who has replied that the
service will aid the movement by fur
nishing plans and assisting in carry |
ng out any measures agreed upon by |
he Idaho organization.

STABBING ARRAY AT ERWIN.

The peace and dignity of the town
of Erwin was disturbed Thursday
evening of last week at about six
o'clock by a stabbing affair which
only missed being fatal by half inch.
1t seems there was a nice quiet ses.
sion of the great American game at
the Erwin poker parlors under the
Cargile elevator. Matters drifted
along smoothly until one Sam G. An
derson thought he detected a little
crooked work on the part of one Nor
man F. Walker, better known as
Texas" who has one good deed to
his credit, which is that he moved away
from De Smet last spring and only
returns under protest. One word led
to another, and it is stated that An
derson made some remark rejecting
on the maternal ancestor of this tex
as. The man named after the larg-
est state in the union then went up
town and made inquiries at a saloon
for a revolver. Failing to get a gun
he went back in about a half-hour and
re-opened the row. He got but little
satisfaction for some reason and then
proceed to attack Anderson by throw
ing a large clinker at his head. "Tex-
as" then made a rush for Anderson
some ten feet away, and stabbed him
in twelve different places, two on the
head and ten On the body. One stab
only missed an artery by half an inch
and another only missed the heart by
an inch and a half. The weapon used
was a jackknife having a long slim
blade.
Texas was arrested and bound
over to the circuit court for trial, and
now lies in the county Jail with ample
time for reflection upon the folly of
being i bad man" and wearing such
q big name, and trying to live up 10
the reputation. II looks like steen
years in the pen for s'Texas."
