FOREST WARDENS IN
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Local FOresters Met State Represen-
tatives in Oakland Recently.

In spite of the inclement weather
which prevailed in Oakland on Friday,
March %, the annual conference of
Forest Wardens of Garrett county,
with State Forester F. W. Besley and
Assistant Forester ]. A. Cope, was
well attended, over half of the entire
number of the wardens of the coi1i-
IS being present in the Court House
at len o'clock in the morning when
the conference opened.
Fire records of past years were
presented in chart form and showed
that in 1918 there was less loss from
fires in the state of Maryland than
m any year since the State Board If
Forestry had been organized. This
gratifying record Mr.. Besley attrib-
uted to the efficiency of the wardens
in promptly attending to all fires that
were brought to their attention.
A tabulation of fires by causes
showed that in 1918 twenty per cent.
were attributed to the railroads and
thirty per cent. to those who use the
woods for pleasure, such as campers,
hunters, fishermen, etc. This latter
figure is entirely too high, Mr. Bes-
ley stated and it is hoped to reduce
it materially by having the Federal
patrolmen, of whom there are five
in Garrett county, give special sur
veilance to those whom they meet in
the woods during the coming year.
A thirty-foot lookout tower on
Shaggy mountain has been completed
and during the year Mr.. Alex. Bittin-
ger viii be on duty at this station
for the detection of fires, not only on
the lands owned by the State but also
throughout the surrounding country.
This makes two lookout towers estab-
lished in Garrett county, the fifty
foot tower on Meadow mountain hav-
ing been in operation for some years
past. The lookout station at Pinnacle,
in West Virginia, commands a splen-
did view of the Backbone mountain
section of Maryland, and it is hoped
IN the near future, by cooperative
agreement with our neighboring state
to obtain for Maryland the services
of this lookout station to supplement
the work of the patrolmen of the
Swanton district of this county.
A new type of torch for "back-
firing" was shown the local wardens
and received favorable comment. 1t
is planned by the state wardens to is-
sue these to the local men as part
of their equipment to be used in cases
of serious fires.
The local wardens who attended
the conference were w. A. Michael,
Lewis Bowman, George Tichinel, J.
H. Sims, A. L. Sines, John T. O'Brien,
Raymond 7. Winters, Peter F. Mich
ael, Alexander Bittinger, W. H. Bar
