Compare this with the many obstacles with

Sometimes he is more than days journey from

ahead of him the burning Very often,
indeed he must blaze his way a number of miles
through a trailless wilderness, carrying his bed
and grub on his back, and through a country
where every step seems a greater impediment
to rapid progress: and when he reaches the fire
it may be of such proportions as to appall less
sturdy nature.
The rapidity with which fire can spread in sthe
mountains is almost unbelievable. For instance,
in 1910, by the middle of August over 1900
small fires had been put out by patrolmen and
over 80 large ones had been brought under con-
troll by crews of from 25 to $50 And yet
when the cyclone of August 20 came that work
with wonder and awe Within 4s hours strip
of country more than 100 miles long and more
than 25 miles wide had been burned over And

In passing. it is but fitting to give credit to the
brave in the governments employ, who
risked and lost their lives in earnest endeayors
to carry out their duties. and many are the tales
of heroism and unselfsh devotion during those
strenuous times. when men toiled and sweated
shoulder to shoulder.
Men and WILL in the course of time make
effort to reforest the great devastated areas hut
the scope of years to carry out such work is
broad indeed. Mans best work now and for al
ways. lies in the prevention of a recurrence of
such calamities as have gone before. Through
legislation man can compel the railroads to use
contrivances to prevent sparks from leaving the

more accessible. SO that the fires caused by light
ming. for instance, can be caught at their yery
inception; but mostly. he must enlist the CO.

great work of preserving and perpetuating the

will permit of trails being built, yet there is
much area. many other duties required
of the forest officers and the funds mentioned
are SO limited and inadequate that progress of
such work, while keeping pace with the avail
able resources, is necessarily slow.
Before enlarging upon conditions under which
large fires begin it might be well to mention
briefly few of the forest fire terms with which
the layman frequently meets and may not
derstand
Forest fires clr 7sifed generally crown
top fires-those where the fire travels through
the tops OF the trees with surprising rapidty and
working disastrous results; and ground or sur
face fires. where the fire travels along the
ground. consuming soil covers or humus. brush
and litter seedlings and often, small trees and,
consequently, doing little no damage to
ture timber. Luckily in most forest fires
are ground fires and It is these that the
most quickly controlled. Yet single top fire
can vastly more damage than great
number OF ground fires However, it is general
Iy under unusual conditions that crown or top
fires occur-such high winds, very bushy
steep country and severe drought. when such
conditions in incredibly short time change
n creeping ground fire into sweeping crown
fire leaving a path of ruin and often death in its
wake. In brief. drought and wind the two
dominant conditions favorable to fires.
The wind is always the most dreaded factor
during the fire season, its freakshness and
certainty upsetting the best of plans So fierce
the wind at the time of the destructive fires
of 1910 that whole hillsdes of timber were up
rooted and men forced out of their saddles
The fire leaped across rivers half n mile wide
at single bound. travelling nearly a mile a min
ute times and devouring everything in It's
path Often wide canyons spanned as by
a great jump. the fire continuing on the oppo-
site side and leaving the canyon timber green
and unharmed Numerous instances of the alb
solute freakishness of the fire could be cited
and all tend to show its very uncertainty
In fighting fire there is constructed around

and brush. generally for three four feet,

When the fire is moving slowly and men can
stand the heat and smoke, II is always desirable

prevent its gaining momentum as It progresses
