in the National reserves through which
their railroads pass. p, T. Allen, dis

this company by which protection can
be furnished the forests, an attempt
will be made to arrange the same as
sistance from the other railroad COM
panies.
Many of the fires in the forests re-
serves originate from sparks from the
passing locomotives The plan Of the
Forest Service is to have the railroads
keep each side Of their roadbed clear
of inflammable material and, as a
further precaution against accidental
fires, provide all engines with suitable
spark arresters. The prompt report
to officials in the Forest Service, in
the district in which the fires are dis
covered, and to station agents, Is
desired Of members of the train crews.
1t is proposed also to Introduce a
