Forest Officers on the Alert.

With the advent of Spring the
Forest Officers of the Shenandoah
! National Forest located in Rocking
ham, Augusta, Pendleton and High.
land Counties are again on the
alert to prevent the forest fires,
! which in past years have laid waste
large areas of forest lands in the
Shenandoah Mountains.
The Spring is fraught with much
greater danger than the fall fire
season, for during the Spring
months when the sap is beginning
! to run the young growth is very
| tender and easily injured even by
| light burning.
| Five fire guards are engaged in
patrol and lookout duty. The
early morning hours find them
climbing to the highest peaks where
they can keep sharp lookout for
anv fire which may occur during
the day. From these lookout points
they ride back and forth along the
mountain tops, keeping the entire
area under close surveillance so
that any fire which might be started
could be stopped in its incipiency'
.l.y notifying he other guards and
fire fighters, who could be called to
the fire with fire fighting tools and
equipment. Each guard is allotted
district and is held accountable
for detecting, reporting and ex-
tinguishing any fires originating
within it. All the patrol routes lie
within one-half hours ride of a
tee bone connected with fire head
quarters on North River, where
supplies and fire fighting equip
ment are kept in readiness for any
emergency and where aid can be
summoned on short notice. 1t is
expected that portable telephones
VIII soon be installed in the Service
so that each patrolman will have
an instrument which he can carry
on bis saddle, and use to summon
aid in emergencies. This will mean
great saving of time in notifying
fire headquarters in case fire is
discovered.
In addition to the corps at Fire
Guards is force of supplemental
patrolmen who can be called upon
during the danger periods, as in
extremely dry or hazy weather,
when it is impossible for the Guards
to get a good view from the look
out points. The supplemental force
is composed chiefly of cattle men,
land owners living in the vicinity
of the National Forest, sawmill
crews. and wagoners who are con-
tinually travelling the public roads
crossing the forest.
Fores Officers state that they
have met with the hearty coopera-
ton of ferest users and those living
in the vicinity of the Government
lands, and that little trouble is
anticipated in controlling the forest
fire situation. So far no fires have
occurred within the boundaries of
the Shenandoah National Forest
and it is hoped that enlightened
public opinion on this point has
forestalled the possible recurrence
of the intermittent burnings which
have been the rule in past years.

Monterey, Va. Friday, Apr II 1914

A petition asking for change IN
the turnpike location at the ives
tern base of Shenandoah was pre-,
sented to the Board of Supervisors
on Monday, The petition was large
ly signed by citizens of Monterey
and Stonewall districts as well as a
few from Augusta and the city of
Stanton.
Mr.. Colaw, who presented the
paper, anticipated one difficulty
and advanced the probably theory
that the Board, in the absence of
revenue derived directly from the
pike could make use of any road
funds for a needed change, even on
this toll road. The chairman of
the Board and the Commonwealth
attorney were in doubt about it.
and the matter was tabled until
Mr.. Jones could look into this
feature.
Superintendent Dudley regarded
the change as a most desirable
one, the object being to cross
the hollow at the short turn at
foot of mountain and keep to the
long ridge behind the Deverick
home, coming out at or near the
Marshall toll-gate. Any one who
gives the subject a moments
thought will see the advantage of
taking the road from the present
fat location, along the creek bed,
and putting it on the proposed To-
cation of slate material, with a
southern exposure where the road
would always be dry and free from
ice.
The section of road where the
change is asked for has been in
shameful condition for weeks, and,
while it is now wearing down, u
as the contractor stated, it has
been death to the teamsters who
had to wear it down." One
thing should be borne in mind:
Such a change would be for the
benefit of the whole county, while
less important work has been done,
and at greater outlay where only
the interests of a community were
involved.
The matter should come up for
a second land more careful reading,
and it doubtless will.
