RAILROAD CO-OPEIiaTES.
With Forest service to Reduce Fires
Along Right OF Way.

Washington. Aug. 27.-For the
purpose of reducing the number of
fires along the right of way in the
Arkansas national forest the forest
service has recently entered into
cooperative agreement with the
Kansas City Southern railroad.
/ II is a we'll known fact that coal
burning locomotives are a prolific
source of forest fires, particularly on
heavy grades, where dozen or more
! fires may be started within dis
lance of a mile Many of the most
destructive fires have been caused
/ in this manner and incalculable dam
age done.
{ The agreement between the forest
service and the Kansas City Southern
railroad provides that the railroad
shall clear its right of way OF all in
/ flammable material for distance of
fifty feet on each side of the track
and burn over an additional 100
feet whenever necessary. A provision
is made for the use of efficient spark
arresters, and that fires shall be re-
! ported to the nearest station agent,
who will notify forest officers and
| section crews The maintenance of
! forest service telephone line along
! the right of way will also be al
I lowed.
! On its side tho forest service will
patrol and supervise the clearing OF
the right OF way, supply tools, and
maintain and operate sufficient tele-
phones as well as grant the railroad
the timber free Of charge where 1t
Is necessary to clear the right of
way
This agreement is for period OF
ten years and has already been put
into effect Six telephones have
been esta blished along the line and
excellent results are being obtained.
Inasmuch as a great majority of the
fires on the Arkansas national for
est can be laid to this source, it is
thought that great reduction III the
area of burned over land will be
made during the coming season
The forest service will be glad to
have similar cooperation with other
railroads traversing national for
ests.
