Forester Graves Says That Pro
lection of Timbered Areas
Is First Essential.
LACK OF PREVENTION is
RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES
Total of Standing Timber Esti-
mated at Five Hundred
Billion Feet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Forest
fires, their destructiveness, cause and
prevention, are discussed in the annual
report of Henry s. Graves, chief for
ester, made public today He says that
in the organization and administration
of the national forests the most impor-
tant consideration is their protection
from fire.
''In a forest fully organized with
adequate means of transportation and
communication and sufficient force Of
rangers and guards, the risk from fire
is small,' he said. ''In foreign coun-
tries In which forests are so organized,
the risk is so small that the forests
are iushred at moderate rate.''
Mr. Graves saws that 81 per cent of
the fires i'll 1909 was due to the 'lack
of preventive care on the part of the
users of the forests and of the rail
roads traversing them.
Railroads Realize Danger.
The forester says the railroads, real
zing that forest fires are against their
own interests, "bave shown an ad-
mirnble spirit In operating to pre-
vent tbem. lie suggests that the
railroads be required either to use
efficient spark arresters or to burn oil.
Four per cent of the fires for 1909
were from lncendiarism and IL per cent
from lightning. 'lncendiarism, he
says can bo stopped, partly through
education of the public and partly
through increased watching of the for
ests, winch will result in the apprehen
sion and punishment of lncendinries. -
The approximate total stand of TIM
Der in national forests, exclusive of
Alaska, according to the report, is $50
900 100000 feet Though the stand Of
timber in the two national forests in
Alaska is believed to be very large. not
even a rough estimate can be made of
them.
Areas OF Standing Timber.
"About 62 per cent OF the total es.
timated stand on the national /, forests
exclusive of Alaska is o. the three Pa
cfc coast states,' says the report, f2l
per cent in Idaho and Montana and
l2 per cent in Arizona, Colorado and
New Mexico. This leaves only . per
cent elsewhere In the order of their
Importance the five states containing
the bulk of national fores. timber are
Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho
and Montana
The total cut of timber last year was
4S4.4l2, 900 feet. an increase over the
previous year of 26,7T3,0O0 feet. OF
the former 379, 9,6l6,000 feet Was cut un
der sale and l04. 100000 feet under free
use. The amount of timber sold in the
fiscal year 1910 was 1855 900 feet,
valued ut $l,400,092.
