RECORD is ESTABLISHED
IN FOREST FIRE CONTROL
Average Fire Held To Ii Acres
Damage Is About $4,000

A record was established during
1882 by the Maryland State Depart
ment of Forestry when the average
forest fire was held to Is acres in
area. Despite an unusually large
number of forest fires in 1882 the av-
erage fire burned only about one
fifth as much land as was burned per
fire for ten years preceding.
According to the Forester, 1,265
fires burned over 1911 acres, which
is only 1870 of the total forest area
of Maryland. About $4,000 damage
was done by the fires in 1882, which is
quite in contrast with the $660,00 loss
through forest fires in 1880. The dry
ing out of the soil in the latter
drought year was still apparent last
year, the forester said, in the ex-
IRENE difficulty encountered by forest
wardens in bringing fires under con-
troll, and by the fact that so many
fires got started.
Smoking" continues to be the lead
ing cause of forest fires, comprising
37ft of the total. Though no lives
were lost in fighting Maryland forest
fires during the past year, two forest
wardens suffered fractured legs in
battling flames in rough country. 82fo
of all the fires were either caused by
smokers, brush burners or incendiar-
lists. In the latter class are found
persons who are trying to burn out
properties belonging to rival liquor
distillers operating in the forests, to
spite neighbors for some petty offense,
to supposedly improve the pasturage
or huckleberry crops, or just to see
something burn. The State has caught
several incendiarists in the past few
years and had them prosecuted under
the law which goes so far as to pro-
vide a maximum penalty of $4,000
fine or imprisonment for five years,
or both.
One-fourth of the fires of 1882 were
caused by farmers and others losing
control of their brush burning opera
tons or failure to watch such burn
ing until every spark was extin-
guished. Due to the fact that fires
caused by brush burning can gener-
ally be traced to the responsible par
ties, the State has collected from them
several thousands of dollars for fire
fighting costs in the past two years.
These funds are turned back to the
State for fighting future fires during
the same year.
. Garrett county suffered the most
through forest fires in the past year,
when close to 1000 acres were raw
,ished by IT'S fires. Severe losses were
also felt in Allegany and Anne Arun-
del counties, each of which had over
1,500 acres burned. Prince Georges
county, with its numerous suburban
homes surrounding the District of
Columbia, is particularly subject to
small fires and led the State in 1882
with a total of 1913.
The marked Improvement in keeping
fires to small sizes, claims Mr.. Bes-
ley, is due to quick detection through
the States lookout towers and the
work of $50 forest wardens and al
most 1000 trained fire fighters work
ing under them. Maryland is one of
the few Southern States with the dis
tinction of having 1907 of it's wood
land under protection.

 In addition to considerable fish ing, members of the party aboard the Westward have been vastly entertained by the young hair seal Oscar, which was taken aboard just north of Juneau about 10 days ago Oscar is thoroughly en- toying his cruise on the yacht and follows the chief engineer around like a puppy according to the Misses Church who are with their parents on the Westward. Proof of Oscars happiness with his adopters is his eagerness to re- turn aboard after a swim in the sea. He returns to the side of the craft and cries to be taken back.
