FORESTRY SERVICE
VERY HIGHLY
PRAISED
SENATOR ED DoNLAh DECLARES
FIGHTERS ARE EFFICIENT IN
EVERY RESPECT.

"Thosc who charge the forestry
service with negligence or ineom-
potency on account of the recent dis
astrous fires do not know what they
are talking about" said Senator Ed
Donlan last night From my own
personal knowledge of what has been
done believe that whero the loss II
500 new II would have been thousands
without the assistance OF District For
ester Greeley and his excellent Nforce.
Under the circumstances, with II COM
bination Of disadvantages, they have
done capital work In the western part
OF this state. AS rule, the forest
rangers are fine fellows, who know
their business, and II they had more
trails, like the ones they are now
building, they could have accomplished
q great deal more than they did. They
not been for them the loss of life
would have been very much greater.
Personal Observation.
II know what ! am talking about
from personal observations on elarks
fork and tributaries. which drain d
very rough and broken country, with
very high. steep mountains, and no
man has any idea Of the fercencss Of
the fire unless he has seen the work
ii did.
The man on the ground, ana he
alone, can appreciate what help the
foresters We're to settlers and others
IN the communities where the flames
ragged
with the men they had the forest
rangers did well 1t Is a difficult task
to get first class fighters; .alI sorts
Of men have to be pressed into serv-
ice, Ry another year the service win
have trained firemcn.
~. Is my opinion that with an ordi
nary year and trails there will not
be an annual loss of timber and other
property OF $1,000. ! hope the next
legislature viii pass more stringent
fire laws ana provide for work under
the direction of the federal forestr,
service"
