TREES SHOCKS BAlLINGER

San Francisco. Aug 25.-Secy. of the
Interior Richard A. Ballinger returned
to this city Yesterday after a four
days inspection trip Co the Yosemite
valley. After spending few hours
here he departed for his home in Seat
tie. In a statement to the press he
said that he was planning TO secure "a
uniform system OF laws and regula-
tons for the IL national parks now i'm
the possession OF the United States.
Referring TO the recent destructive
forest fires. Secy. Ballinger said:
we may find II necessary to revert
to the old Indian method OF burning
over the forest annually at seasonable
periods. one thing we intend max
ing every effort TO do II TO compel
loggers TO clean up. The litter which
has been left in many places has in
creased the destructiveness Of forest
fires enormously"
He expressed himself as shocked by
the vandalism with which some Of the
big trees of the Yosemite had been
treated and in this connection he
ordered that a fence be erected about
the Grizzly Giant.
