LAST YEARS
FOREST FIRES

rire played less havoc IN the
woodlands of the National
Forest States last year than IL
did in 1908, although the num-
Der of fires was 40 greater.
The Department of Agriculture
has just completed the statis-
tics. The protective value of
the work of the Department Is
shown In that () almost eighty
per cent. OF the fires were ex-
tinguished before as much as
+ five acres had been damaged;
i(2) less than one and one half
acres 20 the square mile Of
National Forest land was
burned over; CD and the amount
of damage done to the burned
over area averaged but si.26
per acre.
For the twelve month ended
December 81 last, there were
/ 3.i3S fires on the Forests. .ls6
caused 10y locomotives. 43l by
campers. 29i by lightning. Isl
by brush burning. 20 by incen-
diaries. 80 by sawmills and
donkey engines. l53 by miscel-
laneous and 75s by unknown
agencies. The area burned
over was, IN round figures,
300, 900 acres. of which about
4 90 600 were private lands in
National Forests. as against
some 400, 900 acres IN 1905.
Some 10000. 600 board feet Of
timber was consumed. OF which
/ 33. .0OO.O 600 feet was privately
owned. as against 23o, 900 900
the previous year The loss IN
value of timber destroye was
less than $500, 600. of which
close 10 $50. 900 was privately
owned. The loss of the year
before was about $3.50. 600.

The report of the Forester for
d 1909 said Of the fire record of
1903: THAT year was one Of
prolonged drought during the
summer and fall, and of disas-
trous forest fires throughout the

suffered relatively little. About
232, l9I 900 board feet OF timber,

was destroyed a total of >
72s fires was reported. of which
2.OS9 were small fires confined
as a rule TO an area of five acres
or less. The cost of fire fight
ing, exclusive of the salaries of
Forest officers, was $73, ,2S7. 80.
This sum, added TO the proper
tion of the total salaries of
rangers and guards properly
chargeable to patrol and fire
fighting, was less than one

value of the timber protected;

age value of s. per thousand.

the ElkhOrn section of the coal
field between Coaldale aud
Vivian will begin to play out
within the next ten years.
Already some Of the leases are
beginning To work backward.

as the coal will have all
been taken from the leases and
new fields will have to be
sought unless the price OF coal
doubles in that time.
Some Of the mines in this
section We're opened as early as
1852 and at the end of twelve
years will have been i'm opera
tion for forty years, and now
that all the mines are being
worked on "A capacity basis the

mines are being developed and
new territories are being
exploited with the result that
the output along the Norfolk
and Western will increase until
at the end of ten years or
twenty-five years 10 is possible
that twice as much coal as is
now being hauled will be car
ried along the Norfolk and
Western.
West Nirginians have cOnsid
cred at times the decline of the
Pennsy lvania fields, but il has
never come home 10 them that
their own Pocahontas section
may also reach "a decline. OF
course there are sections of the
Pocahontas felt which have
never been touched and these
sections have life which IL
variously estimated at from
forty 10 seventy five years.
There are other sections which
have just commenced operating
and they will have practically
the same life in years. The
sections which are now under
operation in many cases have a
life of from twenty five to fifty
years, but some Of the leases
will commence TO reach the end
in ten years. One mine, fOI
instance, near Vivian, has
tw, nty seven miles of track
laid in the mine and has now
commenced TO work back. This
means that as the miners draw
the coal out they will have &C
be continually robbing pillars
which will let the mountain fall
in. 1t will be impossible &C

men under such conditions, as
if men could be put TO work in

tain number of men can rob
pillars in a given section be
cause of the danger which
would arise in case a large
NUMBER were employed. When
the robbing becomes wide
spread in that mine less mer
will be employed with the re
suit that the mine will com
menco to see its decline, anc

WILL URGE CONSERVATION OF #
.. BIRD LIFE OF AMERICA AT ST. PAUL

illustrated address on Practical Bird
Conservation, Frank M. Chapman will
also report to the congress on the pos
sibidities OF saving American birds
from extinction by reservations such
as are now beng maintained with a
force Of Audubon wardens. AS Theo-
dore Roosevelt was largely instrument
tai In turning over these bird refugees
to the association, 1t is expected that
he will take a special interest in this
particular part Of the proceedings
That special interests of the miIlin-
cry and game market are just as much
menace to tie insect-eating, rodent
eating and game birds of which the
American people are rapidly being de-
prived, as any influence may be in the
field of other national resources, will
be shown by facts and figures which
are being compiled here for presenta-
ton to the conservation congress. The
project of uniting the world powers
to check the extinction of valuable
bird species by laws against the ex-
port and imports of plumage for mill
linery purposes will be outlined with
many other measures for game and
wild bird protection In which the Ma
tional Association of Audubon So
cieties is interested.

which every American must depend
for agricultural prosperity and sani-
tary safety" said Mr. butcher at the
headquarters of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon societies, 141 Broad
way, today. "Our organization has
been officially identified with the con-
servation movement since its start.
and participated in the joint conser-
walton congress at Washington last
year. In the coming national gather
ing to further this great cause we will
be prepared to take an active part on
behalf of the bird resources to which 1t
has been shown the people of the

their present and future prosperity"

To advocate the conservation Of the
bird life of this country in connection
with it's other natural resources, rep
resentatives of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon societies and its sub
sidiary organizations have been en-
rolled as delegates to the Second Ma
tional Conservation congress, which
they will attend in st. Paul on Sept.
5. While the preservation of woods,
waterways and mineral wealth are to
be considered at this gathering, which
both Taft and Roosevelt will address,
it has been planned to devote equal at
tention to the protection against spec
ial interests of the nations feathered
assets of the air. That crop loss
amounting to fully a billion dollars Is
each year sustained by the people of
the United States through insect and
rodent poets that the waning wild
birds are known to destroy, is one OF
the facts which the Audubon workers
are preparing to place squarely before
the coming conclave.
Conservation of Wild Birds from the
Economic Standpoint, is the subject
under which william butcher, presi-
dent of the Audubon organization, will
open the discussion of this branch CT

VIA VITAE.
/ tell thee there is sorrow everywhere,
There is no home, however small or
large,
Bears not the burden of this sacred
charge,
There is no soul who breathes the
breath of life
Who carries in his breast no hidden
strife,
Who labors not with some repugnant
care.
A few there are no evil may annoy
And they are those whose crosses are
their pride,
Those who can smile whatever may
betide.
