The protection of the national forests from
fire is incidental only to the development OF
their fullest permanent use. This use IS limited
only so far as is needed to insure the perma
nence of the forest and to keep ii in satisfac-
tory condition. Last year 100000 cattle and
horses and 10000 sheep and goats grazed
within national forests, or u and y per cent,
respectively, of the range stock OF tho west
Nearly 40O000000 feet Of mature timber was
sold and cat or enough to build 25,o0o ordinary
frame houses, More than 120.pJJoo0 feet more

other home uses. All this timber was cut and
logged conseryatiyey to the Improvement Of

Just he squauder money until 1t is all

from fire or other injury, but fail to harvest

There IS nothing intricate about the prin

tween the use of the national forests or any
OF their resources, for the permanent benefit
OF many, or for the temporary benefit of
Few, the forest service encourages use by the
many and prevents its monopoly by the few.
Ihere are two planks in the platform of
the forest service They are these:
To insure through public ownership and
administration the fullest permanent use of
those forests which are essential to the public
welfare
TO teach American citizens how to make
the best use of forests in private hands and
OF their product, by finding out aud telling
them how.
The 194j0000O acres of national forests
stand for the first plank. They conserve most
OF the water and one-third Of the timber of
the west. This national heritage, whose
measurable material resources are worth more
than two billions Of dollars, is being admins
tered by the forest service in the best perma-
nent interest of all the people At an average
cost for protection of about one-fifth of a cent
per acre, the damage by fire on national for
ests for the last three years has been, per mil.
hon acres, about three per cent. OF that on
private forest lands. In these three years the
use OF the national forests by the people has
more than doubled. In 1908, so great were the
demands Of the peoples business that an
average of only about one-ffth Of the time Of
the forest rangers could be given to fire pa
uoi This was the equivalent Of all the time
