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.
