for him to handle alone, though his
efforts may be sufficient to check
thc flames for d short period. The
ranger can remain and fight the
fire alone and wait for the arrival
of other rangers who have been at
d arteG by the smoke, or he can
ride to the nearest telephone box
ana send out an emergency call.
Before the days of the telephone
the ranger, after discovering the
blaze, was compelled to ride to the
nearest settlement, which might
have been one or two days ride, to
obtain assistance. During his alb
sence the fire would get beyond all
human control and he and the men
at b., command were practically
hciplrss.
The use of the telephone on the
forest reserves is not a SUPPOSE
tional or merely contingent matter
The officials Of the forestry bu-
reau contend that its trial has been
practical and it has proven by time
TO be invaluable.
As rapidly as its appropriations
will allow. the government is ex-
tending the use of the telephone
further and further into the for
ests. New telephone systems are
COW being built and others are pro-
acted for construction in the near
future. The government officials
are going about this work with eX-
treme care. utilizing existing tele-
phone lines wherever possible. The
apparatUS and other material for
the governments telephone lines
are being furnished by the Western

Mr.. GoOding was the father Of

was to make three counties from

center of government for the ola

PROTECTING FORESTS FROM
SCOIRGE OF FIRE.

Every year seems to bring up
forcibly the need for more eXten-
sive systems of protection against
lire in the national forests of the
far west and northwest. The dis
asters of this summer point to the
fact that more safeguards must be
thrown about the wooded areas OF
The country if a REPETITION Of the
recent fires is to be avoided.
For it is a fact that "A years fires
burn away more of the precious
woodlands than would be taken to
supply the timber needs of the en-
tire country for quite a few years.
Added to this, and even more ur-
gent as a reason for action, is the
enormous loss Of life and property
involved in fire like that OF this
summer.
ln some eases in the national for
ests. according Chief Forester
IT, c Graves. single ranger has
the responsibility of looking after
more than 100000 acres during the
dry season. In the forests of Ger
many one guard is kept for every
100 acres. and in one case even
aS few as 100 acres.
The national forests of The Init
ed States now include almost 2m, =
000,0O0 acres of land and to look
after these force of 5000 men i
employed This is recognized to
be totally inadequate for the heavy
demands, and each dry spell brings
its quota of disastrous fires to bear
out This fact more strongly.
In the measures that have al
rca,.y been taken to protect the
forests from fire. the telephone has
played a very important part. This
Part Is described in a recent Wash
ngton dispatch To a number Of the
daliN newspapers under the heading

means new stock. Then there are the
mergers, the consultations and the
reorganization. and each process
meant more railroad stocks and more
bonds, all of which are now yirtuously
ciamoring for dividends or interest.
So il is that we today face the prob
lem of finding for the railroad man
ayers funds enough TO pay dividends
upon the ocean of wateTed securities.
1t has been estimated by compe-
tent railroad authority that one share
OF stock in one OF the pioneer railroad
ventures is now represented by at
least 100 shares OF stock on the eX.
changes OF the country. To pay divi-
dends on this sea Of stock the rail-
roads are today put to their wits end
because the growth of commerce has
nc more kept pace with the physical
growth of the railroads.
