revealed in part Yesterday when Cor
est rangers who arrived at Avery and

PINCHOT ON
T FOREST T IRE
Says There Has Been a
Needless Waste OF Life
and Property

Washington, Aug 26-Glnord Pin
chot of the National Conservation as,
ISOLATION and former head OF the gov
enment forest service, in a state.
ment issued this morning, holds that
the loss of property and life in the
recent and present forest fires was
unnecessary. The disastrous results,
he says, arc tTaceable to the unpre-
paredneSS TO deal with the fire sltua-
tlon. He scores members OF congress
who have opposed appropriations for
the proper equipment of forest rang
erS and in that connection names
Senator Hepburn OF Idaho, whose
home town. Wallace. suffered serious
loss, Senator Carter of Montana and
Representative Nondell OF Wyoming.
The statement follows:
i am proud Of the splendid work
the men OF the forest service have
been doing against the western forest
fires. Many of them have given their
lives to protect the homes OF settlers
and the forests on which the prosper
ity OF the western people depend.
To my mind their conduct Is beyond
all praise
o good thing for us to remember at
this time that nearly or quite all OF
the loss suffering and death the fires
have cause was wholly unnecessary
"a FIRE In the forest Is the same
Kind of a thing as a FIRE In the city.
There Is only one way to fight either.
The fire department of every city is
organized with che prime idea OF get
ting to the fire when II Is young. So
with the forest fires. The time when
TO conquer them is before they grow
strong. Ii a forest is equipped with
roads, trails, telephone lines and a
reasonable number Of men for patrol
there is no more likelihood that great
fires Will be able to get started than
there is that great conflaCrations
should start In the city OF Chicago.
They may. of course, but the chances
are against it.
THE forest service has done wond.
ers with It's handful of men 1t has
prt out every year many thousands
Of small fires. any one Of which under
favorable circumstances might have
developed into conflagrations which
10000 mon could not stop. This year.

were many fires and the rangers were
too few.
The lesson from these fires is per
fectly clear When a city suffers
from 4 great fire it does not retrench
In It's fire department, but strengthens
it That IS what the nation must do
in the national forests
The men in cong,sSs like Hey
burn. Carter and Mondell, who have
made light OF the efforts OF the for
esT service 10 prepare itself to pre-
Yont Just such a calamity as this,
have in effect been 6chtlng on the
side OF the fires against general wei
fare. II even small fraction OF the
loss from the present fires had been
expended In additional patrol and
preventive equipment. sole or perhaps
nearly all of the loss would have
been avoided
Il believe our people will take the
lesson to heart and insist that the
settlers and their wives and children,
the lumbeTmen and the miners and
the two billion dollars worth of prop
erty In the national forests shall be
equally protected
