the railway. Previous to 1867 what
was known ~ the universal herd oc-
cupisd the whole pasture region Of
TO the Indians.
In that year the first transconti-
mental railway WAS flung across the
states, cutting the herd into two por-
tione, known thenceforth a. the
southern and northern herds.
The southern--the larger portion
consisting OF several million head,
was totally exterminated by hunters
during 1S7l.74, and the northern herd
was, with few exceptions, accounted
for between 1eeo-S4.

to stay the progress of the fire. State
Firewarden WILDER speaks enthusiasts
tically of the work of the fire fighters
but points out that the increased APP
preparation given by the last Legis-
lature does not become available until
July LIST. Hence the fires this spring
have been fought by the present small
organization, which has been recog-
nized for years to be inadequate in
great emergencies. After July 1, it
is believed that it will be possible to
build up a force that can effectively
control New Jerseys forest fires and
prevent a recurrence of such disasters
as last month even under more adj
verse conditions of drought and high

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST
FIRES OF new JERSEY
In Ten Last Days of April $1,000
Acres of TimberIand were DESTROYED.
Fire Fighting Force to be
Increased
PINE BELT SUFFERS MOST

Preliminary reports received by
State Firewarden c. P. WILDER of the
Department of Conservation and De-
velopment indicate that the forest
fires which ragged in all parts of New
Jersey during the last ten days of
April burned over an aggregate of
approximately $4,000 acres. When it
is realized that this area exceeds Essex
County in size by about 5000 acres,
some idea of the extent of the devas-
tation may be gained.
Leroy S. Fales of Newfoundland,
Division Firewarden in charge of
Division A." comprising Bergen,
Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Morris,
Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and
Warren Counties and Middlesex Co.
north of the Raritan River, re-
ports the smallest area burned Of the
three sections into which the State
is divided by the Forest Fire
Service. His total is approximately
1000 acres burned as a result of 8
bad fires which occurred during April.
Division Firewarden Jos. B. Sharp,
Jr., of Bridgeton, in charge of Divis-
ion c., made up of Atlantic, Camden,
Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and
Salem Counties, reports a total of
5000 acres burned in 10 serious fires.
Division Firewarden Jos. E. Abbott
whose territory, known as Division B.,
and composed of Burlington, Mercer,
Monmouth and Ocean Counties, and
Middlesex County, south of the Rari-
ton River, which includes the great
pine acres of central New Jersey, re-
ports the greatest acreage destroyed.
While there were only 5 large fires
reported from his territory the area
destroyed is estimated at $4,000 acres.
1t is pointed out by forestry officials
that because of the inflammable nat
ure of the pine trees, they are
much harder to control than those in
hardwood timber and therefore a lar
ger area is generally destroyed before
the flames are brought under control.
This loss, great though it is, would
surely have been even greater had
it not been for the t~ireless efforts of
the Division Firewardens and the loyal
and efficient work of the township
and district wardens with their crews
of fire fighters.
In spite of heat and binding smoke,
swept down IN them by high winds,
these men, hour after hour, ~stubbornly
contested every foot of ground gained
