CARELESS TOURISTS START
DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES

Because of the war, Germany lost
about 21,547,520 acres OF land ex-
elusive of plebiscites. This was I'M
doubtedly serious national misfor-
tune to Germany. The United States
during the period of 1916-1920, in
elusive. burned up 56,4SS,307 acres
of our forested area-over IL times
as much as Germany's entire loss
an area greater than New York and
Pennsylvania combined, or of Mime
sofa, Kansas, Idaho, or Utah.
While it is impossible to trace the
origin of all forest fires, the records
of the Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that a large number originate
through the carelessness of happy-go-
lucky tourists. The Forest Service
is anxious to encourage the use of
the National Forests as recreation
grounds. 1t coOperates with plans
for building fine roads through the
forests and establishes numerous free
camping grounds, where shelter, wa
ter, and firewood may be obtained.
Many of these camps are located on
main automobile highways and are
easily reached. Some states provide
tourist guide maps to the forest and
camp sites. About 100000 people,
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1921-08-12

it is estimated, use the forests each
year during the vacation season. At
Eagle Camp Ground on the Column
bia River Highway in the Orego Ma
tional Forest, 10000 tourists reg
istered last year.
Some of the campers, however, do
not seem to appreciate the pleasures
and privileges afforded to the touring
public. They disfigure the scenery
with rubbish and filth, they disre-
gard game laws and pollute streams,
but their worst and most frequently
recurring offense, according to forest
officers, is the starting of destructive
forest fire by carelessness either with
camp fires or with smoking.
A lighted cigarette thrown into
dry leaves or needles may start fire
that will spread for miles: A camp
fire not fully extinguished may be
the means of destroying valuable
timber which has taken hundreds of
years to reach maturity. The re-
ports of forest rangers are filled with
dramatic accounts of the work invol-
we'd in controlling such fires, and also
in detecting and bringing the culprits
before a judge after following the
very slight clews obtainable in a de-
serted camp site. Sometimes an old
bottle or pocket handkerchief will
reveal the original possessor who did
not put out his fire. Sometimes a
particular make of automobile tire
can be traced for miles and the care
less camper brought to justice.
No fines, however, on the part of
the local magistrate, will restore the
burned area. While forest rangers
are vigilant and alert to catch care
lessness and prevent incipient fires,
the real need, the foresters say, is for
the development of more conscience
on the part of the public which uses
the National Forests. 1t is greatly
desired by the Forest Service that
all the lat National Forests, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Gulf to Border, be used and enjoyed
to the fullest extent by as many peo-
pie as possible. This involves uni
versal adoption of the slogan, "Be
sure your fire is out!"
