SCARED forests of his district, a valuable heri

of trust fulfilled
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 it in satisfac
tory condition. Last year 100000 cattle and
horses and 100000 sheep and goats grazed
within national forests, or IL and 81 per cent,
respectively, of the range stock of the west
Nearly 4O0,000000 feet of mature timber was
sold and cut or enough to build $4,000 ordinary
frame houses. More than 10000 900 feet more
was given away to settlers for frewood and
other home uses All this timber was cut and
logged conservatvely, to the improvement of
the condition OF the forest. Under such man
agement forest produces wood forever.
For man can handle his forest in three
different ways, just as he handle money

wasteful logging and the fire which follows it,
just as he can squander money until it is all

There Is nothing Intricate about the prin-
ciples or the practice of forestry. II has its
own careful, skilled methods based on study
comparatively recent in this country, but
which in other countries begnr hundreds of
years ago. To describe these methods would
fill many pages and IL takes trained men to
apply them. But in the last analysis forestry
is common sense, scientifically applied Cut

tween the use of the national forests or any
of their resources, for the permanent benefit
of many, for the temporary benefit OF
few, the forest service encourages use by the
many and prevents its monopoly by the few.
There are two panks 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 and telling
them how.
The 194,5OO.O0O acres of national forests
stand for the first plank. They conserve most
of the water and onethird 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 cent
per acre the damage by fire on national Tor
ests for the last three years has been. per mill
lion 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, 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 hre pa
troll This was the equivalent of all the time
of one man for the patrol of $4,000 acres an
area half the size OF the state OF Delaware.
From Arizona to the Canadian border and
from California to Minnesota and Arkansas
the forest rangers have done their duty. This
has meant unrelenting effort usually under
frontier conditions. There Is no more exact
ing work than fire patrol; and, snort OF war
nothing makes greater claims than fire fight
ing upon personal courage fiber and devotion.
The forest rangers are the backbone OF the
service. Were IL not for them. the national
forests would soon be forests no longer. And
as each of these public servants comes to lay
down his tools for younger hands to pick up.

cess OF Its work, the reclamation service must
depend not merely upon its reservoirs and
dams. bat upon the thoroughness with which
the forest service does its duty. The preser-
vation of the national forests is vital to the
fulfillment Of the national irrigation policy.

This vast and increasing business Is han

But the usefulness OF
the national forests does
not end with producing
timber and grass. Their
still larger value TO the
nation is in conserving

provisions against combination and monopoly,
the forest service is effectively safeguarding,
within national forests, the interests of the
American people. whose property these water
powers are. Herein lies the greatest public
service which the forest service is rendering.
The standing timber in the national forests,
which is alone sufficient If it were cut clean
to meet all the needs of the nation for 10
years, Is of less value than the sites for the
development of water power. whose useful
ness these forests conserve. The complete
destruction of this timber by fire would be far
less grave than for the power sites within ma
tiona forests to pass into unregulated corpo-
rate ownership or control.

shortly before noon, and told the

or course the two SamaritaRs were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-

lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia
