Fires in the Forest

Th, department of agriculture takes justifiable pride in the record it made during the year 1912, in reducing losses by fire in the national forest domain. and statistics given in this connection in a bulletin lately issued, show that these losses were the smallest for many years.
 Several reasons for saving O timber in the national forests are given. An important factor condition in most localities. The increased effic- cncv of the fire fighting organization is also given share praise
 As congress makes available the funds for tending the means of communication in the national the equipment of trails, roads telephones and look stations is yearly enlarged. Thus, it is declared fires discovered more quickly and fought rapidly effectively. An especial effort has been made the past year extinguish fires outside the the national forests before the fires reach the forest boundaries. The effci ency O this means of prevention is shown the fact that such outside fires constitute more than sixth the fires fought by the forest rangers and guards About nine tenths these outside fires eXtinguished before they reached the national forests. Statistics show that in 1912 about 27 per cent of all the fires by lightning and about 3S per were due carelessRess. Many fires were also started by incendiaries.
 The statistics abundantly prove the wisdom of the expenditures by the government the protection
 
 of fires in was 2,472, against 3,369 in 1911. In all. 23OO0O were burned 1912 against 7SO.000 in 1911
 probable that the better education of campers in the of precauton against forest fires has had a beneficial the reducing of losses but the percentage of fires caused by careessness is still regrettaby large.
 What, may ask would happen if the forests were taken from the control O federal govern ment. has been proposed and those sums spent for their protection withheld? In this state where the of the national forest large the necessary give them the pro- tection they receive would runous. n fact, the forest would be left without protection against fires and all other enemies and would suffer great losses timber and the denudaton the sheds.
