FOREST FIRES.
All Hnnds Cooperating With the
state TO Prevent Them.

During recent years much more atten-
ton is being paid by the several States
to the important matter Of forest fire pre-
vention. and by all reports Vermont is not
tagging in this most important matter.
This year. the owners of woodlands and
the railroads are much more willing, than
in former years. to cooperate with the
State in forest fire prevention. The rail-
roads, which run through Vermont, have
consented to allow a State inspector to in
spect all spark arresters on their locomo-
tives. Many of these have been inspected
this spring. and whenever defects were
found tho railroad officials were very
prompt in having them repaired.
The railroads are also assisting some
what by patrolling certain dangerous Sec
tons along their rights of way One ex-
ample of this is found in the northea 81
part Of the State, where the Grand Trunk
railroad, Fitzgerald Land and Lumber
campany, and the State have co-operated
in hiring a patrolman for n very danger
Gus section along the track just north OF
Island Pond. This man will be kept pa
trolling during the dry months of the
year.
In the southern part of the State sew
eral of the land owners have co-operated
with the State, and lookout station has
been erected on the top of Stratton Noun
tain. A man will be kept on this noun
tain during the dry periods. and as there
is now telephone line running up to the
top of the mountain, the Waterman can
call for help as soon as fire is discover
cd in any of the surrounding country.
The forest fire warden system of the
State is the best this year that ii has eve.
