Department Run for That View and
Not for Purposes of
Reforestrati0n.
SYNOPSIS OF. SPEECHES
Cost Of Burning Slashings Comes in
For Discussion By Several
Speakers.

William T. Cox, state forester, in
his addresses in the city hall yes
terday pointed out particularly that
the forestry service at present is
operating under the new law which
provides that slashings shall be
burned under the direction of the
ranger at any time and not by the
lumberman by the first of May. Un-
der the old law a fine of 500 was
imposed if the work was not done
by May 1 and cases were cited where
men had started fires in order to COM
ply with the law but that these fires
had done many hundreds of dollars
of damage to other timber holders.
1t was also made plain that the state
forestry department is not organized
for purposes of reforestration but for
forest fire prevention only.
The meeting yesterday was we'll
attended by both lumbermen and
rangers A short hand account was
taken of the entire proceedings and
the Pioneer has arranged for extracts
from the main speeches and these
will be published as far as possible
The work is being done by Miss Cam
-eron and it is believed that the last
extracts will be printed Friday. The
extracts follow:
Mr.. Cox: Methods of disposing
of slash is a pretty hard thing to
discuss because my experience with
it has been so scattered through diff
ferent parts of the state. 1t is hard
to concentrate on some one phase of
it. l will say that have found lum-
bermen in different parts of the state
and sometimes in the same locality,
handling the same kind of slashing
differently. l would like to find out
the reason for this and the ideas that
lIC1 nave DIS W why tucy
use different methods. Take for in
stance white pine and Norway, too,
with an occasional odd tree that can
be ignored absolutely, on, say, sandy
land or light soil. Now my idea has
been, personally, that the best way
to handle that kind of slash is to
where the timber is heavy enough to
warrant that procedure, and I know
that some of you are handling the
slash in that way but others are not.
l would like to have the discussion
show if it is the general feeling of
the meeting that it should be handled
as logging proceeds, and about what
the cost would be-

The same rule applies to democrats.
