Dana Says Forest
Fires Largely Due
to CareleSsnesS

Forest Commissioner Samuel Il
Dana declared Friday that practical
ly IS percent Of the forest fires oc-
curing in this State each year are
due to carelessness.
."Plain thoughtlessness" is all that
Is back of the many fires in the for
ests Of Maine each year, in the opin-
ion of Commissioner Dana, and he
declares that the cigarette ends and
pipe heels. carelessly thrown aside by
sportsmen. are responsible for the
outbreaks.
THE average man going into the
woods does not realize how dry
things are there" said Commissioner
Dana, land how few sparks it takes
to start a fire of lively proportions
and which results in great damage 20
timberlands. Even after drench-
ing rain. especially on a clearing, the
slash and other waste soon becomes
dry and requires but little fire to give
it a start.
"There are many in Maine who
have expressed themselves as being
in favor of stopping all smoking in
the woods. and it has also been sug
gested that permits be necessary in
this State to start fires. Adoption of
the latter plan would assist in keep
ing in touch with those entering the
woods. for it would be necessary for
a hunter to state in just what sec
ton he intends operating. AS the
law is now it provides that a man
should get the permission Of land
owner before he starts a fire. This
is somewhat of a dead issue. for it
might require some little time to OBJ
tain the names and then permission
of the land owners, for in many cases
several might have an interest in one
small stretch.
Something ought to be done. Fire
damage in this State is increasing
year after year. The cutting in thu
woods is heavier and the method
different from that employed in tor-
mer times. Companies practically
skin the land these days. leaving
much slash which Is big aid in
spreading fire In former years.
much timber was left standing. and
the danger was not as great as 1t is
today"
In the belief of Commissioner
Dana. fishermen are even more care
less in the spring season than are
the. hunters. and do not properly
guard small fires started for the
preparation Of a lunch.
In placing the forest fire damage
by carelessness at 95 percent, Com
missioner Dana explained that the
remaining percentage was charged
against lightning, and a few from
sparks from locomotives. He also
said that in addition to the loss suf-
fered by property owners from fires.
there were other damaging instru-
ments to contend with.
zone of these is the bud-worm,"
said Commissioner Dana, "and while
it is a spruce work it stacks its
greatest damage against fir. 1t has
killed at least one third Of our total
stand OF fir and spruce pulpwood.
and the dead timber that it creates
is a menace and increases fire dam
age. This budworm is followed on
its journeys through the forests by
what are known as bark borers.
They attack a tree visited by the
bud worm-one that is still alive
and they bore into and girdle the
bark. The more furious clusters Of
borers will even attack new tree.

OF
J STATE AID BY THE
/: !. HIGHWAY COMM,

When the Highway Commission
met this week and considered the
question Of applications for State aid
from the cities and towns they were
somewhat gratified to see that their
judgment in requesting from the
Budget committee and from the
Eighty first Legislature an appro-
priation of $1,000,00O for State aid
purposes was justified by the action
Of the towns. Applications before
the commission for State aid tOtalled
$922,047. and the appropriation
available for this purpose is 100000.
T. Applications were received as fol-
lows:

Appointments, 3 Town
Act, Chap. 157-1919. 1S6,260.0S
Total s922,O47.23
1t will be noted that towns cooper
ating under the three towns act APP
piled for $461,77S.SS. Sixty eight
towns cOoperated and made applica-
ton under the provision of this act
and unless the Legislature had, upon
request of the State Highway COM
mission, passed an act changing the
order of precedence. these 6S towns
would have taken substantially the
whole of the State aid available. An
ticipating just this situation, the
Highway commission requested the
Legislature to provide that towns APP
plying for single years aid should
have first consideration in the allOt-
ment of State aid; that towns apply
ing for additional aid under the pro-
visions of the five times clause of the
State aid law should have second
consideration: and that towns group
ing under the three towns act should
be taken care of last. A further act
was passed during the last ten days
of the Legislature whereby towns CO.
operating under the three towns act
should be granted one years State
aid if it was found that the appro-
priation would be insufficient to give
them the full allotment applied for.
In accordance with these new acts
above referred to. the apportionment
of State aid as finally made by the
commission is as follows:

portation of mails. The State high
way through the County is reported
to be in good condition. except sec
ton of road not on the designated
State highway between the towns of
Machias and Jonesboro. 1t is neces-
sary to use this road on account of
the fact that two bridges are out in
Whitneyville on the State highway.
The Highway Commission Friday

they improve two or three short bad
places on the part of this road lying
in Whitneyville. The municipal
officers promised to make immedi-
ate repair to these places.
