help.
In an incredibly short time a special
train bearing the supervisor and hardy
bunch of experienced fire fighters, all
armed with shovels, axes and picks. was
winding It's way up the mountain on the
narrow gauge road. Leaving the train
at the town from which they had tele-
phoned. they secured horses and soon
were on the smoke-hung battle-ground four
or five miles away. Several farms were
threatened with complete destruction. and
it looked as though all would he swept
away, as the fire was sweeping down the
heavy timbered mountain side propelled by
a stiff and stubborn wind. But the tired
rangers and farmers who had been fight
ing the flames night and day. redoubed
their efforts as the reinforcements ar
rived. Soon the spades and picks were
clicking and the axes were swinging and
a fire break was being constructed In the
path of the flame.
In a short time a wide path had been
cleared of all underbrush and timber.
When the flames reached the break there
was nothing for them to feed on and the
wind fortunately had lulled so that the
sparks were not shot across the path of
safety. Soon the roaring furnace on the
mountain side ceased to threaten the
farms and then attention was turned to
the side lines of the fire and more fire
breaks were built However. 1T was not
until another day and night Of the heart
rending toll had been put In that the
fire fighters deemed their work done.
When there was no further danger the
rangers returned to their patrol work.
while the other fire fighters scattered to
their homes to have their bruised hands
and biistered faces treated. The forest

What is that starts forest fires? This is
q question that has been asked over ana
over again since the rumors and reports
of the many timber fires have been com
ing in this year.
Campers and locomotives is the usual
answer But II is also true that there are
many other things which cause fire that
may be very disastrous in it's results.
Perhaps. though. il could he said that
from one-half to three-quarters of all
the forest fires do begin result OF

While campers caused more fires than

campers would exercise care in starting

of the rough experience.
Keeping Down the Losses.
Such things are common in the great
timbered areas included in the govern
ment's forest domain and they show how
earnestly the foresters are working to
combat the fire menace. II is the work of
these rangers that has kept down the to-
year. There are 1,So1 rangers and guards
employed in the forest patrol. Each man
guards an AGRA of 121,506 acres. He is
constantly on the watch for smoke and is
on hand at the first sign of danger. Cen
orally one man is able to extinguish
forest fire that is merely smoldering and
that has not been famed by a strong
breeze. In this way countless fires are
smothered in their incipiency-fires that
otherwise would spread and destroy mil
lions of dollars worth of property.

reserves the forest rangers have built

land were swept by the big fires. There
has been dreadful loss of life, and even
whole towns and cities have been COM
pletely destroyed. Last year was an I'M
usually favorable one. SO tar as nre
losses were concerned, owing to the heavy
rains in all parts of the country. Through
out 1868, however just the opposite con-
ditionS have prevailed. and fires have done
serious damage in practically every state
The country has experienced some fires
which have obtained historic Importance
among them those In British Columbia
and in the lake states.
The government has also had lot of
work to do in the fire-fghting line in the
national forests, but serious as the fires
have been. careful patrol and the or
ganization of a force to battle with the
flames as soon as discovered have held
the losses down to a point where they are
utterly insignificant when one considers
the fearful destruction which would have
taken place had there been no means of
protection
No exact reports of the actual damage
done by these fires can be made for some
time yet, and, in fact, 1t is hard at any
time to make an accurate report of the
damage done to forests belonging to pri-
vate individuals. The government has
always taken the greatest interest in it's
own forests, and reports have been made
every few months or SO as to the amount
of damage that fire has done.

and the change in the form of tlre-hght-
ing reports makes it impossible to give
he number OF acres on winch reports
were made, but the area is not thought to
have been more than SOWU.O0o acres.
In 1906 the area burned was over ll,.4lS
acres-much less than one-half the area
burned over the year before. The value
of the timber destroyed was $40 lSS, about
three-uuarters of the value of the year
before The cost Of lighting forest fires in
1855 was IS, TO, one-third less than the
PREVIOUS year.
Last years report shows that fires
burned over an area OF d. $50 acres IN
the national forests. Fire reports were
received on 150.O)0,OG0 acres. against
?7.uGOCGo acres in 1906. The increase of
~, GO0cGo is accounted for by the increase
in the area of the national forest in 1906.
Although the fire menace mas been
serious in all parts of the country. 1t has
been estimated that the cost of fighting
the fires will only be about 5000, ex-
elusive of the salaries Of the forest OF
ticers This is a small sum when the vast
area of the national forests is consid-
cred The value of the timber destroyed
will not be known until the end of the
year, but 1t is estimated that 1t will
be much larger this year than ever In the
history OF the country
Any che who knows Of the fearful dam
age wrought by forest fires on private and
unprotected public lands each year will
see these patrols, such as are established
by the government wherever there Is q
national preserve, can do great deal OF
good in the matter Of restricting fires to
a very small area.
1t is hard and practically impossible at
the present time to give an accurate fig-
ure as to what the losses by forest fires
will be for this year, but 1t is generally
conceded that they will be greater than
ever before. The loss of life is very great
and exceeds the average of the last thirty
years of sixty-five lives a year by 200 or
200 per cent.
The average of from ten to twelve mil
lion acres of burnt timber will probably
be increased by - to 100 per cent. and
the fires are still burning. SO that it may
amount up to a great deal more than that
before all the returns are In.
Putting the property losses at low
figure to be on the safe side they are
commonly agreed to be $5,Oo0.0Ol to So
100000. This is considered to be con-
servative estimate by those who have
been over most of the ground.
The Burning Of Town.
The burning of the prosperous little
town Of Chisholm. in Minnesota. a short
while ago is the item of loss which fig-
ures most prominently in the grand total.
The people Of this country are used TO
fires and hardly feel at home unless there
