PLANES GIVEN CALIFORNIA
Coast State With Less Than Half
Lumber Supply of Northern
Sisters to Get Protection.
Amazement on the part of local for
estry officials and lumbermen- greet
ed a Washington dispatch, published
yesterday, which stated that no air
craft would be detailed for forest pa
trol service this season in the Pacific
northwest, while the same item an
nounced that California forests would
be protected by a squadron stationed
at Mather field.
This is queer economy," comment
ed E. T. Allen, secretary of the West
ern Forestry and Conservation asso
ciation, "which deprives Oregon and
Washington of needed protection. In
my opinion the announcement arises
from some departmental squabble at
Washington and should not be con
sidered as definite. We still are opti
mistic regarding the prospects for
aircraft forest patrol the coming sea
son." Most Timber In Tiorth.
Statistics in the local office of the
forestry service show plainly that the
preponderance of timber to be pro
tected lies in Oregon and Washington,
and not in California, and that the
patrol service established last sum
mer should be continued. To this end,
it is said, lumbermen of the Pacific
northwest immediately will take steps
to have the recent war department
order rescinded, if 'conclusive argu
ment will be of any avail.
The standing timber of Oregon, by
board feet, is 452.000,000,000 feet; In
Washington 303.000,000,000 feet; and
in California, 324.000,000,000 feet. The
two states of the northwest, forestry
figures prove, more than double the
timber resources of California, while
Oregon alone exceeds her southern
sister by more than 100,000,000,000
feet. It is this preponderance of val
ue, so plainly evident, that causes lo
cal lumbermen and forest protection
ists to wonder why the war depart
ment withdrew its aircraft fire patrol
from Oregon and Washington.
District forestry officials say they
received no premonitory advices re
garding the discontinuance order,
save in a letter from headquarters,
received a fortnight ago, which said
that prospects for air patrol in Ore
gon were dwindling rapidly.
Planes Locate Flrea.
During the 1919 season, Oregon for
ests were under surveillance by four
planes, with bases at Salem and Rose
burg, covering the forested dfstricts
both north and south from those cit
ies. Numerous fires were located and
reported by the aviators and were
controlled before the flames had
gained headway. The value of the
patrol- system was conclusively dem
onstrated, say timbermen, who be
lieve that a number of raging and de
structive fires were frustrated in
their incipiency by the aerial espion
age. Under the original plans of the
forestry service, according to K. A.
Elliott, state forester, sub-bases were
to have been located at Portland, Sa
lem, Buge:.e, Roseburg, Medford.
Klamath Falls, Prineville, Marshfield
and Baker while all five north
western states were to be under the
watchful wardenshlp of aircraft dur
ing the fire season.
Last season's operations in Oregon
proved that the airplane patrol, at a
height of 10,000 feet, easily could dis
cern a very small fire at a distance
of 30 miles. During a season of 35
actual flying days the five planes of
the Oregon service covered a distance
of 39.900 miles.
The recommendations of State For
ester Elliott were that one complete
observation squadron be established
in Oregon, to sustain a daily patrol of
the 28,000,000 acres of timber, brush
and cut-over lands which constitute
the state's fire risk. Such a squad
ron would consist of 18 planes, proba
bly of the DeHaviland type, with a
complement of 180 men and. 40 offi
cers. "Every timbennan is naturally cha
grined at the decision of the war de
partment," commented L. A. Nelson,
of the local office of the West Coast
Lumbermen's association. "Steps un
doubtedly will be taken to secure re
consideration of this departmental
blunder, but just what course will be
pursued I cannot say. It is almost
certain that northwestern lumbermen
will protest vigorously."
