Last Sundays Run.

In pursuance to their usual policy,
the members of the Washington Moto-
cycle Club and their friends, number
ing seventeen, made their weekly trip
last Sunday to, Harpers Ferry. Most of
the riders were eager for this trip as it
had been planned to take it on three
different occasions and each time there
was something to interfere. but last
Sunday the trip was planned and car
ried to successful finish. AS early as
$50 the string of Indians began to
form in front of the .clubrooms on 9th
street, but the start was not made un-
til 1880. when Capt. Buck" Grier gave
when Harpers Ferry was reached they
made their second stop, the first being
taken to fix q puncture- The run was
made in remarkably short time, consitf-
ering the number of riders participat-
ing. After a good dinner the speed
sters occupied the early part of the
afternoon in sightseeing and taking
pictures. Ate o'clock the boys were all
were recorded. and but for the punc-
ture to the rear tire OF one riders ma
chine in the morning the day would
have been perfect. The weather condi-
ttons-were-ideal. and 1t was owing to
that fact mainly that such good time
was made.
The attendance at club runs from
now on can be expected to be large.

club. intact Capt. Grier can feel proud
Of the bunch Of Indians he leads out
on the road every Sunday. : /

Fire Damage Kept Down.

Notwithstanding the great increase
- the number of fires, Forester
raves considers that the showing
rna6e bv the forest service was quite
-, favorable as that in the preceding
year. because the damage done and
he cost of fire fighting were no
sreater proportionately than. in 1912.
n both years practically so per cent.
If all fires were detected and extin-
o,,ished before burned over a quarter
&c an acre. and % per cent. of both
,,oors' fires were put out before they
oo,-ored 10 acres. Of last years fires,
> 97S or considerably more than the
yrbole number Of fires in 1912, were
conAned to areas of less than 10
ooroe and in 1,08G additional fires
Ioso than 500 damage was done by
aocb In only 25 fires did the damage
amouut to $1,000.
The aggregate loss in timber is es-
timated at near 20 million board feet,
yaIued at $4,000, and the damage to
voung growth and forage is esti-
mated at about $4,000, making a to-
faI of about $4,000. About Is per
cent. of this loss, however, was in
Cured on private lands, within the
forests where 16 per cent. of the fires
had their origin.
Care With Engines Increasing.
One encouraging feature is that
the total number of fires set by rail-
road locomotives was scarcely more
than in the proceeding year and rep
resented only IL per cent. of all fires,
as against nearly 19 per cent in 1912;
also the proportion set by Sawmills
and other engines in the woods was
considerably less than in 1912. This
indicates very plainly, Mr.. Graves
says, that the public is awakening to
the need of spark arresters and care
with engines in the woods.
Causes Of Increase in Fires.
Looking for the reason of the in
crease in number of fires, the Fores.
ter finds three main reasons:
First of all, the unprecedented cleo
tric storms which swept the whole
State of California at the end of a
long dry season and set, almost sim
ultaneously, about 700 fires. The S04
fires set by lightning in California
formed nearly so per cent. Of all the
1928 fires on the National forests OF
the State from all causes, and were
more than half of the 11,571 light
ning-set fires in all the q States re
porting.
In the second place, there were
757 fires started outside the forests
of which 644 were stopped by the
governments fire fighters before they
reached the foresp boundaries, as

usnv Forest Fires But Well Con-
troIled.

During 1913 the forces on the Ma
tional forests fought 1920 fires, or
nearly twice as many as started In
1910. the best year the forests have
ever had.

of small fire damage during 1913, and
this hope kept up until the middle of
Septmber, when the fire season on the
National forests ordinarily is about
at an end. At that time there was
corded, and only 1920 fires as
against 2,470 in 1912, with about Co.
600 acres burned as compared with
100000 in 1912, and 100000 in 1911.
At the end of the month, however,
the electrical storms in California and
one or two outbreaks of incendiary-
ism changed the whole situation.
But even in the face of these diff
culties, the fire-fighting force, with it's
plans and experience from preceding
years, was able. to cope with the sit
uation. In California, in particular. it
was as if a military leader, represent
ed by the district forester at San
Francisco, was, holding, with COM
paratively small number of men or a
mere skirmish force, a line of defense
extending $50 miles N north an6
south direction. This force received,
as if from an attack by the heavy ar
tillery of an opposing army, the cleo

by rain, which played havoc all alcng
the Sierras and the Coast Range.
That the California force was able to
cope with the situation was, accord
ing to Mr.. Graves, an evidence of the
efficiency of the men and the organi-
ZatiOn.
NOTES.
Minnesota has a forest area Of 20
million acres, the largest of any State
east of the Rock Mountains.
There are approximately four mil
lion acres of timber land in New
farmers wood-lots.
Forest fires in the United States
have caused an average annual loss of
70 human lives and the destruction of
25 million dollars worth of timber.

tions of New Mexico and Arizona

against 424 which started on outside
areas in 1912. However, the proper
ton of such fires to all those which
the service battled with was about the
same for 1912 and 1913.
Incendiary Fires.
The other increased cause of fires
was incendiaryism, but this increase
was confined to three States, Arkan-
sas, California and Oregon, all others
showing a marked decrease. Of the
ASP incendiary fires, 1913 were in Ar
kansas, 1873 in California and ZAP in
Oregon, where two brothers were
known to have set 70 on one forest
alone. These two and other incen-
daries were, of course, severely dealt
with by the law. On the Arkansas
forest, too, it has been assumed that
the 351 fires classed under the general
heading of origin unknown" were
mainly incendiary. In California the
incendiary fires are largely attribute
bic to what in known as the eight
burning theory" which advances the
argument that forests should be burn
ed over frequently to prevent the ac-
cucmulation of debris. The forest
service considers this a pernicious
theory becauseit scars the stand
ing timber and thus reduces it's val
ue; it robs the forest soil of it's abil-
ity to retain moisture, and effectually
prevents the reproduction of the for
est, since such fires destroy all tree
seedlings before they have a chance
to get a good start.
Lightning Caused Most Fires.
In 1912, lightning caused more fires
than any other agenoy, followed close
ly by railroads, campers and incendi-
aries, in the order given In 1913,
however, the fires caused by lightning
outnumbered the next nearest cause
by more than three to one, but the
order railroads, campers and incendi-
aries-remained the same as in 1912.
A considerable decrease in the pro-
portion set by railroads and campers
indicates, according co forest officers,
a growing carefulne3s on the part of
the general public.
Last year, as in 1912, California led
all others in number of fires, this
lead being natural because California
has such long dry season. 1t was
followed by Arkansas, Arizona and
Oregon. in the order named. Kansas,
which had only one fire in 1912, es-
capped without any in 1913 North Da-
kota repeated it's record of 1912 and
had no fires on it's one small forest.
Not a single severe gre occurred dur
ing the year in District 4, which in
boundaries, yet the area burned over
on these private lands was more than
25 per cent. of all. The forest SER
vice expended more than 100000 in
protecting the private lands within
the forests and lands adjacent to and
outside of the forests. In addition to
this cost, services and supplies to the
value of more than SIT 900 were con-
tributed by co-operators for freight
ing on these areas.
Fires Came at End of Season.
In the middle of the fire season, that
is in July, the service had high hopes

against 424 which started on outside
areas in 1912. However, the proper
ton of such fires to all those which
the service battled with was about the
same for 1912 and 1913.
