FAMINE IN men
TO FIGHT FIRES
Shortage Makes Forest Fire
Situation in the North
west Desperate.
FEARLESS MALES SOUGHT
Husky Man Who Is Willing to Work
Looks Good as Million Dollars to
Officials of United States
Forestry Service.

Spokane, WaSh.-One of the biggest
industries" of the northwest this sum-
mer is the fighting Of forest fires.
A good, husky man, with two strong
arms and willingness to work, looks
as good as million dollars to the of
flcials of the United States forestry
service, and the big lumber concerns,
who are losing vast values in timber
There is a famine n men. That is
the great reason fires, started by care
less campers or lightning storms, have
been able to spread over many miles
of Americas richest lumber lands and
cause damage that will not be replaced
for generation.
One large fire in the Pack river dis
trict, northern Idaho, burst entirely
beyond control and spread over forty
five square miles of territory without
showing the least signs of dying down.
Men to fight it were few and far be-
tween.
War Against Flames.
In Spokane as well as the coast
cities the forest service is waging re-
cruiting campaigns similar to those
carried on during the war. 1t is a
war-against flames almost as destruc-
tive to America as the flames that
broke out in Europe.
Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered
veterans of the forest life, make the
finest fire fighters This summer they
have had little chance to engage in
their regular work of cutting timber, !
and have bent all their efforts to saw
ing the forests that house the nation
The forest service maintains cease
less lookout. AS soon as smoke is dis
cerned the news is flashed to head |
quarters; crew is hastily recruited
and equipped, and sent into the burn
ing area with full supplies of food,
tools and bedding.
But they have little chance to use |
the bedding. Fire fighting is an all
night all-day job.
How Fire Is Beaten.
The only successful method of stop
ping a fire is to get in front of it,
clear a wide trail, and widen it by
backfring.
A slight change of wind will make
the back fire cross the trail and en-
danger the workers lives.
Blazing trees frequently fall with
the wind, across the trail, and undo
the work Of a day. The lumberjack
is as expert at tree lodging as he is
at playing poker.
One result of the epidemic of fires
in the present summer will be a Wig
offO ~ Of |
and forestry men alike, to
secure from congress a greater APP
for the forest service than
ever before. Americas forests are no
onger so numerous and well-grOwn
hat the trees can be sacrificed with
)ut national suffering.

response to the requests of a num-
ber of county chairmen that more
time be given for the work since it
will be impossible to complete the
job by Saturday, it has been decided
to extend the period of the campaign
to December /.
This does not mean that those
counties which already have the
work of soliciting members we'll un-

desirable that as many counties as
possible complete their work by the
end of this week, in order that eff

organization. 1t is believed this will
result in a much more effective cam

in the shorter period of time.
The workers in the field point out
that the larger part of the solicita-

| it takes much more time to see the
people in the country than it does
in the cities. The canvass of one
block in city or town will result in
i the interview of more people than
the canvass of a square mile in the

other, it is going to be impossible
to complete the job in one week
So in response to the demands OF
the situation, and the requests of the
