II seems incredible that the police
should have let Yung Dat slip through

taken on motion to substitute the cor

counterpart OF the vote on the previous

These are days fraught with trouble

younger and nimbler. He must show his

indiscreet pleasures with many an ache

1t was soon seen that Orville was not

what the engine trouble was till after he

quietly that he was not taking the picture

WHAT FOREST FIRES MEAN.

Loss Il Not Only Upon Matured Tim
Der Destroyed, but Human Life.
Forest fires, sweeping over the wood
lands OF Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, New York, Pennsylvania and
other States, have caused enormous
losses of human life and of timber. the
boston Transcript says. Figures to
show the extent of the damage for the
year 1908 have not been compiled, but
tie destruction wrought by forest fires
IN ether years, so far as it has been
possible to estimate it, urges the need
OF protective action.
According to the figures obtainable,
the loss of life in forest fires in the
United States in the last thirty years,
not including 1908, has been 1856 per-
sons, or an average of sixty-five year.
Inc number of lives reported to have
been lost in the United States and
Canada this year is more than $50.
Official census returns for 1880 show
ed an area Of timber lands of 100000
acres burned yearly, with the value Of
destroyed timber placed at $25,OOO,OOO
TO $oO,OOO.OOO, and, although the acre
age of forests burned in later years is
much less, the loss is not, for the rea-
son that the timber is much more valu-
able.
Experts estimate that the damage
done to new forest growth by forest
fires amounts to $9O,OOO,OOO yearly,
figured upon a basis of an additional
growth averaging twenty cubic feet an
acre year. This, for forest area
Of 5OO,OOO,OOO acres, would be 10000
600 cubic feet.
Another incidental loss, the result Of
forest fires, is the destruction of soil
fertility. The humus, or essential vege-
table mold, in the soil is devoured by
the flames. What is lost in this man
ner cannot be recovered for a score Of
years or more.
Then there is the damage to rivers
and adjacent farm country, the con-
sequence of floods and drought which
follow the destruction of forests by fire
or otherwise. The cost to the nation
amounts to millions of dollars.
Depreciation in forest wealth and in
the value of the land visited by fires
also endangers the prosperity Of the
territories affected and is hindrance
to commercial enterprise.
Upon the basis of the forest service
Of the national government in it's ex-
perience with the forest reservations,
the entire cost Of administration Of
which, including a fire patrol, amounts
only to one cent an acre, the whole
forest area of the United States could
be well patrolled and protected from
devastating fires for less than $3,OOO,-
600 year. This would mean yearly
saving in timber losses alone Of $780,
100000, regardless Of other advantages.
BY its fire patrol the government
forest service reduced the burned-Over
area from 3SS,S72 acres in 1904 to
1O9,41O in 1907. During the same
period the national forests were in
creased in acreage from 100000 to
100000 acres.
