Fire Loss Fails.
STATE BOARD Or FORESTRY SHOWS PROGRESS

STATE BOARD Or FORESTRY SHOWS PROGRESS.
The Maryland Board Of Forestry has
just made public the States losses from
forest fires for the preceding year. tis
a record of accomplishment and proof of
services well done. 1t still being the fire
season in much Of the State, these figures
are particularly of interest.
II was not unusual. few years back,
for Maryland's loss from forest fires to be
quarter million dollars annually. In fact,
as late as 1911, it reached the figure of
$226.O00, and though being steadily re-
duced as the State Forest Fire Protective
organization grew in strength of members,
1t was still in 1914 as much as $4,000.
Then it began to 60 down. The next year
1t was about $4,000 less. but it remained
for 1915 to shove this total down and reg
lister Knockout punch in one of the most
expensive, unnecessary leaks the State has
ever had And the present is no time for
leaks.
Taking three widely separated counties,
as far apart in location as in the makeup
OF their timber. yet all of them with heavy
forests which are Of greatest value and
necessity to each. we find Garrett with a
damage in 1915 of $4,000. For 1915
this shrinks to $4,000. the cost Of extin-
gushing such fires as occurred dropping
at the same time from $500 to $325. Fire
damage in Charles decreased in one year
from $1,000 to $500. cost of fire fighting
from $i04 to Sill. In Worcester these fig
ures continue, for while forest fires in 1915
cost this county in damaged timber the
sum Of 81, 800, it was reduced in 1915 to
only $500, Results so uniform over a ereat
area prove that real work was accomplished
in the forests Of the State, since showinss
are as uniform throughout.
In the State of Maryland. as a whole,
number Of forest fires went down AZ Der
cent. from 247 in 1915 to III in 1915
damage, from 100000 to $4,000, 81
per cent; cost Of extinguishing, $500 to
$1,000, 81 per cent; acres burned over,
37.640 to 1880. lowering Of IS per
cent
The actual returns-in timber saved.
lands kept productive, watersheds pro-
tected. and local industries sustained
are hard to estimate. No one can doubt
but that such service has real money value
to the State. For such showing there is
some explanation. naturally. While the
two fire seasons Of spring and fall in 1916
were not abnormally dry. they were not
at the same time more favorable for fire
protection than many which have gone
before, and which have failed to make
these showings IL is rather to be laid az
the door Of increased efficiency in the
State organization Of Forest Wardens, per-
sonnet Of which through its commendable
zeal. continued interest, and increasingly
effective service, is saving the State vast
sums each year.
Their services are not expensive. about |
a hundredth part Of what they save, but |
they are valuable. With the same efficient
efforts. and the solid backing Of the public.
they will keep on guarding for the State
one Of Its chief resources at a period when
such resources were never more important.

Judge Henderson.

The death Of Hon. James B. Henderson
removes a conspicuous figure from the
citizenship Of our county. While the con-
dition Of his health for several years past
had kept him from active participation in
affairs, the influence Of his business and
Official career was felt and recognized in
the community in which he had spent his
life. He was a successful and resourceful
lawyer, an efficient States Attorney, an
able. fair-minded judge, and earned the
respect and confidence of the public whom
he served in vsrious capacities during a
period Of more than forty years.
His death will be widely mourned. and
deep and earnest sympathy will be ex-
tended to his family by all who knew and
honored him in his lifetime.

adequately for its own protection and

Whereas the funds Of the State. while
amply sufficient for the ordinary expenses
OF government, are not sufficient to meet
the unexpected expenditures. which the
present emergency requires or may require
the State promptly to meet, both for it's
own and for the Nations welfare and
necessities and there is no way under the
present laws in which such funds can be
legally borrowed or otherwise raised, so

TO its public service and industrial plants,
