CAMP WEATHER STATIONS
NEW AND GREAT AID I'm
FOREST FIRE PREVENTION

Although the forest fire season
of 1886 was rated one of the worst in
recent years in the Western United
States, it brought proof of two things
that should be helpful in planning fut-
ure protective measures, according to
Clyde S. Martin, forester for the West
ern Pine Association of Portland,
Oregon
of great Importance and value DUR
ing the past dangerous summer and
fall said Martin, Were the more than
400 camp weather stations maintained
in forest areas by the forest service. 1t
was the first time these small stations
have been tried on such scale, and
they more than proved their worth.
The camp weather stations were de-
vised by the Pacific Northwest forest
experiment station of the u S. forest
service. They are simple yet accurate
affairs, and they did prime job of
bringing weather forecasting to the
highest point of efficiency yet known
Those stations, which are maintained
in the logging camps of Western Pine
members, record the direction and
speed Of the wind, measure the rain
fall, If any, and give the relative hu-
nudity reading.
BY arrangement, daily readings were
taken at several camp stations and were
then telephoned or telegraphed to the
nearest government weather station.
The government, for these experimental
areas. wired back any expected changes
in weather and also through the CO.
operation of KEX in Portland, KJR
in Seattle and KOAC, Corvallis, broad
cast general weather forecasts. In this
way, loggers everywhere were kept ac-
curately informed by localized fore
casts and warnings. Such localized
knowledgeu f-what to expect within the
next "a hours has been of real value in
taking fire precautions and disposing
of slash.
1T was due at least in part to this
service that Western Pine loggers, who
account for So per cent of the pine pro-
duction in Ii western states, were able,
dufing the fire season Of 1886, to hold
their total loss in timber and equipment
to the low figure of $3.50.
1T should be mentioned. of course,
that in the same period our members
spent total Of $685. 900 in prevention
work and in suppressing fires.
@One other thing proved by last sum-
mer's fire record is that it is not lum-
bering operations that are responsible
for aNnajority of the fires. Forest ser
vice figures, just released, show that
numbering caused but % per cent of
the forest fires in western states.
1T was smokers, as usual, who led
the list of fire causes, with Is per cent.
Incendairies came next with 1877 per
cent, and lightning caused IS per cent
Campers accounted for their usual 8
per cent.
Those are government figures, and
they quite thoroughly discredit the
ancient libel that lumbermen are so
short-sighted as to be careless of their
sources of raw material.
THE lumbermen have set their own
house in order but can't do much about
lightning But smokers and campers
should be more careful AS for in
cendairies, the number will soon de-
mand more sever penalties.

KNIGHTS URGES CONSIDERATION
OF SLOPE OF RESIDENTIAL LOIS

Saturday. The slope may be hard
ly perceptible, SO long as it is sui
ficient to drain surface water away
from the house instead of toward
it. Knights continued. On a flat
lot this is a matter of seeing that
the foundation is dug to the proper
depth. Before excavation is started
therefore, the level of the propoS-
ed first floor should be established
with respect to the existing grade
This should be done with sur
veyor's level, and when the cor
rect height is determined it should
be marked by driving spike into
a nearby tree or scoring a rock or
by some other similar method.
Driving in a stake is dangerous,
for stakes may be knocked down
Or driven in deeper and then the
mark is lost.
OF course, on a Sloping lot the
problem is not so simple. In this
case the ground on the up side of
the hill must be arranged in a
ridge with a V-6haped gully that
will divert the water which runs
down the hill TO either side of the
house, KNIGHTS concluded.

Building Paper is
Important Factor
Tn Home Building

A major factor in home construc-
ton in Imperial Valley is building
paper. Pat Glasgow, Sones Lumber
company executive. explained Sat
urday. in commenting on building
problems.
Building paper, although one OF
the cheapest, is one of the most
important materials used in the con-
struction OF homes.
The function Of building paper is
to seal all the joints, cracks, and
crevices and to protect the lumber
and flooring which have been used.
It should be applied over the sheath
ing boards, under the roofing, under
the floors, and for flashing around
windows unless copper is used for
this last purpose.

ture, and dust from entering the
dwelling. a home is more easily

not require the use of battenS tc
