Township IA, R. T.
First Forest Fire.

Bangor. Me-. July 1.-THE first for
est fire in the great wilderness of
Northern Maine was reported for the
season Wednesday, when word was re-
ceived by Hosea B. Buck of this city.
who is chief fire warden for the whole
of Northern Maine, that a fire was
raging on Township IA, Range Z. The
fire was reported by c. A. Pooler, chief
warden for that district, who said that
it started Tuesday and that he was
leaving with a large crew of men to
go in and fight it.
According to Mr.. Poo1er the fire had
it's origin on the Canadian side OF the
boundary, where Canadian settlers
were burning over a clearing. The
fire got beyond the control of those
who had started it and brisk north
west wind pulled it over the boundary
into Township IA. Mr.. Buck was I'M
able to state the extent of the fire and
will not know till his deputy warden
comes out, there being no means of
communication near the scene OF the
fire.
This is the first fire of the season.
fire war lens are increasing their vigil
ance every day in all sections Of
Names timberland section, where a
fire. if once we'll started means the
loss of thousands of dollars before it
can be quelled. There has been no
rain to amount to anything for over
three weeks and the woods under the
glare of the hot sun are getting to be
to nnf
fire Of any sort in the woods at pres
ent, unless the utmost precautions are
taken.
The men who are engaged by the
State in the extreme northern part OF
Maine to protect the lands from nre
have lots to contend with in dry sea-
son, when there is constant danger OF
forest fires. Chief among the danger IS
the careless building of fires across the
boundary by Canadian settlers. Xhey
burn off clearings, and not taking the
nroper precautions, their fires are OFTEN
the cause of serious forest fires, which
not only seriously damages the cana
dian timberlands, but extends across
into Maine. The Maine fire wardens
have no control over the people on the
other side of the line, and can do noth-
ing to prevent them from starting the
fires. which are so apt to prove d.
saStrOuS.
Considerable has been said about the
sportsmen being the cause of lot OF
the forest fires, but that does not hold
true to anv great extent. The sporting
parties are usually accompanied by
careful and competent guides, who
realize and respect the danger of
building fires in the woods. Once in
while there are some irresponsible
sportsmen, who go in without guides,
and build fires without taking the
proper precautions both before and af-
ter, and It is to this class some OF the
t. past have been traced. but
thov are the exception rather than the
rule. .EA! KA8 ] stHff f[ x1"iiS =
