ISAAC HERBERT BOULWARE

Two, or perhaps three, weeks ago a
marked copy Of the Observer mott
fled me Of the happy death of my
friend and comrade. The tears that
filled my eyes could hardly proceed
from any painful grief. It may seem
strange to some, but the emotion was
not at all depressing; it was rather
elevating. Had not my friend run a
good race? Should he, in weakness
and suffering, not reach the goal and
receive the prize promised to those
that strive lawfully? Paeans are in
order when victories have been won.
Herbert Boulware and the writer
were private soldiers in the Sd South
Carolina regiment-he in Company c
and I in Company E. this occupying
the left and that the next place as
We stood in line of battle. Though so
near, I had no personal acquaintance
with my eomrade till May, 1864,
when for a few days we were init
mately associated. This was near
Gordonsville, where We were encamp-
ed to wait for the call to battle.
Taking a little stroll one afternoon
near the camp, I came to farm
house and fell (as my habit isl into
conversation with the farmer-aiI eld-
erly man Of respectable appearance. I
was somewhat curious to know how
family felt in a region that might any
day be overrun by contending armies
and perhaps become the scene of
blood and slaughter. His concern,
however, was not with possibilities
over which he could exert no control.
He seemed to fear more the annoy
ance Of marauding individuals than
the destruction of contending lines
Of battle. He wanted guard for his
property, but was deferred from ap-
plying for one lest the detailed sold
iers should prove worse than those
left in camp. If he could be safe, his
family would. he said. cheerfully
share their table with two soldiers.
Now, this seemed to be good chance
to do two good things-ves, three Of
them: O relieve a family in dis
tress; (2) furnish two soldiers with
good fare and lodging; 81 leave
more rations for our fellows in camp.

under which many Of the men labored

case of forest fire 1t may be worth the
entire cost of its construction. No
other work of improving the forests
has been more acceptable to the resi-
dents in their vicinity.
In the summer Of 1905 Secretary
Wilson and United States Forester
Clifford Pinchot, after going over large
areas of little developed and almost
unexplored national forest land. de.
cided that systems of telephones, with
proper connections, would be inval-
liable on the forests of the west.
1t was not until some time later,
however, when congress made spe-
ciflc appropriation for the improve
ment of the national forests, that
funds were available for this purpose.
Last year 1900 miles Of telephone
lines were constructed on the 14S ma
tional forests in the west, and wire to
build about 400 miles Of additional
line was shipped to the various for
ests, but with the funds on hand the
work OF construction could not be COM
pleted.

about 1000 inhabitants, was isolated

dred thousand acres. Il is By such
plans that IRE patrol and IRE control
have been established on the national

has been reduced to q minimum.
Baxter Springs news., 1909-12-16

" tiOn against hre, WIN
a minimum Of expendi'
ture, the forest service has decided
to establish on the most advantageous
points of the national forests in the
west a series of lookout stations from
which news Of the breaking out OF
forest fires can be telephoned to for
est officials.
Since all OF these stations will COM
mand a view of the country for miles
around, the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency
will, by this plan, be greatly expe'
dited, with the result that many thou
sands Of dollars worth of valuable
timber will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are
remarkably favorable for the spread
of fire and extraordinary diligence Is
necessary in patroling dangerous
areas. To administer the vast area
included in the national. forests, ap-
proxImately 195.O0O.OOO acres. the
government has about 1,400 men In
the field. II each man could be used
for fire patrol, he would have to
cover approximately $4,000 acres.
As a matter Of fact, however, the vol.
ume OF business on the national for
ests has grown to such proportions
that less than twenty-five per cent. OF
the force is vailable. 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, fire
losses on the national forests are kept
at point where they are trivial when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands con-
tanned in the national forests unprO-
tected.
A lookout station has been estab-
lished on Shuteye peak in the high
sierras, for the purpose OF watching
for any fires which might occur in the
mountains. This peak has an eleva-
ton Of 1858 feet and the observer
commands a view Of large portion Of

ties IN California.
