the roads say they do not intend to

recommend that no steps be taken TO
enforce 1t. Friends of the measure are
agitating the calling of special
session of the legislature to amend
the law, but as it's unconstitutiona

Guarding the Forests
Against Fire

Il enemy of the forest In many
cases the risk of fire Is go great
after numbering that land owners
have not tried any system OF conserva-
tive logging. but have instead cut tne
forest clean In the belief that young
timber would be burned II left before
it could attain sufficient growth for
second crop. This Is almost the rule
in the heavy forests of the Pacific
coast, where fires have been so prevalent
that they have come to be regarded as
a necessary eSi IL A single tire among

but it will check their growth and
weaken them so that they will be very
susceptible to insect attacks and fung-
Gus diseases. Recurring fires, however.
at last destroy the whole forest stand,
and then ehaparra1 takes possession
On cut over lands there Is usually
great accumulation of debris, and this
encourages fire, so that one Of the first
steps in fire protection is some pro-
vision for the removal of debris
In 1904 the forest service, in CO.
operation with the state Of California.
made a thorough study Of forest condi-
tions and their relation to fire on the
tract of the McCloud river lumber COM
pany, in Siskiyou county, Cal
The chief object of this study was
to devise some practical system of for
est protection. The results, which are
now published in Circular 79 of the for
est service, shows that I'd by proper
care and the execution of certain meas
ures 1t Is possible TO decrease, or even
to eliminate, the danger from forest
fires; (2) that such protective meas
ures may be carried out at reasonable
cost, and CD that the results in most
cases will fully justify the necessary
expenditures.
The plan adopted, which aims to pre-
vent fires from starting by means OF
patrol along carefully laid out routes,
was executed so successfully that IL
has since been extended to all the hold
ings of the company. Telephone and
tool stations have been established and
broad fire lines on which the slash was
burned have been run through the cut
over land. The cost of all this was
about 2 cents per acre per annum-
The details of this plan, accompan anied
by a description of the tract and the
forest types, and an estimate of the fu-
ture yield and value of cut over lands
protected from fire, are given In the
