MKDFORL) DAILY TRIBUNE,, MEDFORU, OREGON, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1008. LOSES REACH Uncle Sam M torn Grad Work in Past But Mus Do More in the Future Nothing could butter cull the at ten tion of thinking people to tlio ncccitsity for tho preservation of our natural re source tluin the grout forest fires whi have been ho widely distributed through out the country mid have phtved Hiie.h liavoe thin Hummer. Conservative timateK places the npfrrognte loss all pnrtH nf tho country during these inontlm of conflagration at $1,000,000 a day. In nearly every innUtnco, probably in every iiiHtance. tl,pne rievn.Htu.ting fires might have been prevented if the va riont Htati's had provided an adequate number ot men lo patrol the woods and arrest nil kim'Ji fires iu their incipi eni v, 14 ikI if lumbermen and other users of the forest were careful to dispose of brush nftnr logging so as to prevent t ue spread of f ires. Much Work to Do. Cm-le Hum lifts had a lot of work to do on his national forests in the fire fighting line this year, but his work litis shown good results. Kxcliiaivo of the salaries of forest officers, tho work of putting down fires on tho national forests for the year has cost tho gov eminent $.'111,000. This means protect ing approximately MiS.000,000 acres. The value of the timber destroyed will not be known until the firo reports are made at tho end of the year, though i( is estimated t hat it will bo larger than last year. lint, it will be iusignif icant when compared with tho appalling fire losses outside of the national for esls on unprotected areas, or with the destruction which would have come t the timber in the national forests had they not been protected. Building Roads. In order to provide rapid means of travel between the various parts of the national forests and to facilitate the uins'iing of large forces of men to fight firo, ns well as to furnish vantage points from which t he fires may be fought successfully, 100 mites of road and It-'tOU miles of trail were built dnr ing the last fiscal year. I n several cases firebreags from 1ft to 100 feet iu width have been constructed, from which all timber and inflammable ma terial is removed to furnish obstaelef to the spread of fire, or straight lines nf defense in fighting the fire once started. Several miles of such fire breaks now exist iu the national for ests iu southern California, where it is especially important thai the forest cover on the watersheds of important irrigation streams be protected. Telephone lines have been construct ed connecting ranger stations with the headquarters of the forest in order that fires may be reported and promptly ex tinguished. Hnriug the fiscal year end ing .luue :t0, 1!M)M, It.'OO mill's of tele phone line were const meted in the na tional forests. Upon the basis of the forest service experience on the nnl ioual forests on which the total administration per acre, including fire patrol, amounts to only one cent, tho whole forest area of the 1'uited Slut CM could be protected from fire at a total cost of less than t-V OoO.OOO. This would mi ve an annual loss of $20,000,000 for timber alone, to say nothing of the enormous loss of life, the loss to new tree growth, tho loss of soil fert ilitv, the damage to river courses and adjacent farm country, and the depreciation in forest wealth ami laud values.
