ALL FOREST r

To be Watched from Lookout Sta
tions on Mountain Peaks.
Working along the line of secur-
ing the greatest results in protec-
ton against fire, with a minimum
of expenditure, the Forest Service
has decided to establish on the most
advantageous points of the National
Forests in the west a series Of look
out stations from which news of the
breaking out of forest fires can be
telephoned to forest officials.
Since all of these stations will
command a view of the country for
miles around the work of detecting
and extinguishing fires in their in
cipiency will, by this plan, be great
ly expedited, with the result that
many thousands of dollars worth Of
valuable timber will be saved an
nually.
In most of the National Forest
states the climate is very dry. and
the rainfall light. Conditions, there
fore, are remarkably favorably for
the spread of fire and extraordinary
diligence is necessary in %patrolling
dangerous areas. To administer the
vast area included i'm the National
Forests, approximately 195,OO0,-
600 acres, the government has about
1,400 men in the field. If each man
could be used for fire patrol, he
would have to cover approximately
$4,000 acres. AS a matter of fact,
however, the volume of business on
the National Forests has grown to
such proportions that less than
twenty-five per cent of the force is
available. This makes 1T necessary
to spread an average mans service
over nearly four times $4,000 acres,
decreasing fire protection far below
the point of safety in many@cases.
In the face of this, however. IL.
