TOPROTECT FORESTS
Governor Points Out Their
Value to State.

The week Of April ri to II was
designated as forest protection
week in a proclamation issued last
week from the Office Of Governor
c. C.. Moore. The chief executive
urges citizens, teachers and com
msrcial and other organizations to
unite in preserving the forests OF
the state by preventing forest fires
during the coming summer.
proclamation follows in part:
'Idaho has the greatest standing
body of white pine timber in the
world. The forests of the state
have contributed much to its pros
perity and happiness and, in my
opinion, should be so used that
succeeding generations may have
the advantage Of their wealth, as
we'll as other blessings that come
through scenic and playground
privileges.
"However, unnecessary fires,
spread chiefly by human agency,
through carelessness. annually
cause the destruction of much OF
the natural timber wealth of the
state and this is the condition that
must be carefully considered and
remedied. The people of Idaho
who use the forests for recreative
purposes should cooperate with
state and national bodies in pre-
venting great fore fires with great
less of natural wealth.
II am firmly of the opinion that
the citizens of Idaho will be glad
to assist ia the prevention Of forest
fires caused by carelessness, if this
is brought to their attention. The
forests afford beauty and wealth
alike for all. Much of the timber
of Idaho is the property of the
schools and if carefully protected
will assist in giving education to
the boys and girls in the state for
all time"

To dust returns by slow decays;

We must regret the loss the more.
So long accustomed to your aid
The world laments your exit made;

And turned the lightning's darts aside.
