Locomotive Is Blamed.

n locomotives, it has been proved, are
u the largest contributing cause to for
est fires. An investigation recently made
along the White mountain and Southern
Appalachian mountain ranges shows that
of 500 fires occurring In 1914. 3l9 were due
to sparks from the smokestacks OF
locomotives.
In the state Of Virginia 80 per cent Of
the fires were traced to locomotives.
Out of 272 fires. 227 were started by en-
gine sparks.
This fact becomes one of vital interest
to the federal authorities since the loss in
the national forest reserves OF the west
alone amounted to s677,0O0 in 1914. This
represented among other things the de-
struction of 340,000,000 of merchantable
timber. injury to private lands. destruc-
ton of young trees, etc.
