MISUNDERSTANDING to a tri-state
conference to be held in st. Paul, Dec.
%. at which representatives from
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
Will consider measures for the proven
ton of forest fires, the Wisconsin state
board Of forestry held conference
Oh Monday in the governors office with
representatives of the principal rail
roads of the state.
The conference was for the purpose
Of determining what methods would
be best to minimize forest fires in the
state forest reserves
The commission believes that some
steps should be taken and suggested
that the roads place oil burning loco
motives on these divisions running
through the forests
This plan was declared to be imprac-
ticable by the representatives OF the
road by reason of the fact that the
supply of fuel oil is limited and even
can hardly be secured in sufficient
quantities in those sections of the coun-
try where oil burners are used and
where the cost Of oil is equalled by that
of coal
rs an alternative they suggested that
everything infammable on the roads
right Of way and fifty feet on each
side be burned over as it has been
shown that sparks from engines sell
dom fly more than 100 feet to either
side of tho track
". II. Hall, chief of the forest re-
serve laboratory at the University of
Wisconsin, was the principal speaker
at the conference.
r. NJ. Griffin, state forester of Wis
consin also spoke. He declared that
more than % per cent of forest fires
in the state during the dry season were
caused by sparks from engines.
Griffith recommended that freight
erS be equipped with railroad motor
ears and patrol the tracks for fires.
he declared that several men last
year were able to quench hundreds of

Berlin Petition Rejected.

Madison.-The petition of the AL
leu Lumber company, seeking better
conveniences for unloading lumber
from the tracks of the Milwaukee
road at Berlin, was dismissed by the
railroad commission The petitioners
claimed that when cars were spotted
for unloading they were moved by
engines and the time thus consumed
was added to the cost of demurrage;
it was sought to secure an order ex-
tending the time before demHrrage
could be charged. The commission
finds that to grant this requ est would
in effect result in rebate.
