The statement that he would keep

PREVENT FIRES To
SAVE The FORESTS

Continued from Page One.1
If you find q fire, try TO put it out.
IL you can't get word of it to the
nearest u. s. forest ranger or State
FIRE warden at once. Keep in touch
with the ranger.
One of the greatest sources of dang
er to the forests from fires, it is the
careless smoker. The stub of a cigar
or cigarette, especially a factory made
cigarette, thrown away unextinguished
will shoulder where it falls until en-
tirely consumed. If such stub falls
in pine duff or needles on a hot day
a FIRE is the inevitable result. Try
the experiment of laying a half burn
ed factory cigaret in finder at pour
home. 1t is not common for ona
while in the timber to thoughlessly
knock live Goals from his pipe by
striking the bowl against a log or
tree. This practice is a menac to
the forest, the live Goals may smolder
in the dry duff and start a fire.
It required a period of from rs TO
$50 years for the forest trees you OBJ
serve on the mountain sides to reach
their present size, This timber may
be reduced to a charred and black
ened waste In an afternoon by fire
caused by a careless visitor to the
locality. The once green mountain
side would then remain valueless to
the community for the period of time
required for your child to grow to
youth, manhood, and old age before
it again could be termed a forest even
suitable for cordwood and poles.
Sparks from a camp fire left I'M
extinguished, may be carried by the
wind to nearby inflammable material,
and a devastating fire result, that
would clean out the watershed in
which your favorite camping, hunt
ing or fishing grounds are located, or
destroy the permanent water supply
of your city or irrigation system.
When once destroyed, a period of
from so to 100 years will be required
for nature to repair the damage.
The acreage of non-productive land
has Increased at alarming extent in
Montana during the past 10 or Is
years, due largely to man-caused for
est fires. These vast stretches OF
charred stumps! and snags, cannot
bring revenue TO your locality; the
source of sevenue has, in a day, beer
destroyed, and the soil in which tn,
timber grew, deplented in fertility fol
many years to come.
Not only is the average citizen at
fected directly by the annual loss o
these natural resources, but indirect
ly by increased taxation as well. Tn,
forest servece earnestly solicit you
cooperation in keeping this entir,
region, forest fire free during the com
ing season.

This brought out discussion by
counsel of both sides as to the re-

Nolan said that the filing of these
