TO CHECK FOREST FIRES Preventive Patrol System Organized in Western Washington. SEATTLE, Wash., May 1. (To the Ed itorsThe earnest attention of the timber-land owners of Western Washing ton, and the public at large, Is Invited to the object and scope of the work con templated by this association, the pro tection of the forests. of Western Wash ington from destruction by fire. During eight or nine months of each year, the rainfall In this region Is so abundant that to start a damaging fire in the midst of the forest would be an Impossibility; but during the Summer months, and even well into September, there is no rain, and from a condition of absolute safety there is a positive one of great hazard an abnormal period of extreme dryness, during which time the magnificent forest of Western Washing ton is one vast tinder box. A match calessly dropped by a hunter, a camp fire left to smoulder, a spark from a loco motive or a logging engine, or a clearing fire carelessly handled by a settler may start a forest fire that soon becomes un controllable. In September, 1902, after, a Summer of extreme dryness, such a conflagration was started in Clark County, Wash., from a settler's fire, and within 24 hours it had burned over an area equal to 60 square miles; burning to death many pe6ple and much miscellaneous property, besides burning and killing at least 2, 000,000,000 feet of as fine timber as there is in the State of Washington. There Is absolutely no insurance to pro tect the owner or the community against a disaster of this kind. The Federal authorities are realizing the importance of protecting the forest reserves of the Government and are patrolling the same. The State of Washington, by its legisla tion, has enacted wise and suitable laws restricting and governing the privilege of starting fires during the dry season; but neither the Federal nor the state regulation Is able to take care of the forest, and it is very apparent that the owners of the timber will hereafter have to give more attention to the protection of their property. It was generally conceded that how ever great the risk from fire has been in the past, that it will continue to be greater year after year as the country is opened up by railroads, and clearings are made by settlers, and as the timber is cut by the logger. It Is a fact which cannot be gainsaid that fire follows the railroad, the settler and the logger. Fully realizing this, the members of this association are united together for the purpose of making a business of pro tecting their property.

Jerome, pressing small fires, and keeping the pub lic mind alert all the while as to the grave hazard there is from a general conflagration. It is hoped in time to make this organ ization one of trained men who will know every trail, and every road in the coun try; and who will know how to fight fires and meet the situation promptly whenever the risk is Imminent. This association has been formed under the laws of the State of Washington and proposes to, work in harmony with both the Federal and state authorities in the task of protect ing the forests of the state from fires. It is contemplated that an assessment of one cent an acre on all the timber lands of the state will raise a fund suf ficient to thoroughly patrol the entire timber area of Western Washington; and it is the intention to invite every timber land owner, whether he be a resident or non-resident, to Join the association and make his contribution and get the benefit of this patrol. The work should be well organized and under way not later tharH June 1, next. At present. Western Wash ington is drier than it has been for years, and if this condition - continues we will probably have a most hazardous Summer ahead of us, ' the most hazardous since 1902. . The object of this letter is to prepare people's minds for the consideration of this subject, and we hope soon to send out a copy of our organization papers and our by-laws, and a more detailed plan of the work which is proposed. Unless the .project is entered upon promptly by all the timber-land owners in the state, it cannot be made the success that is hoped will be the result of a careful, alert and vigorous organization. The incorporators represent some of the largest interests in Western Washington, and every other large interest that has been approached has signified Its hearty approval and support of this movement.

JOSEPHINE JOUNTY FRUIT Damage by Frost Night of April 24 Reported to Be Slight. GRANTS PASS. Or., April 30. That water In water pipes became frozen and that there was a cold spell so severe as to freeze vegetation and to kill 25 per cent of the fruit in Josephine County, as stated by The Oregonian's correspondent in yester day's issue. Is a statement not warranted by the facts, and has done a great Injustice to the fruit industry of this section of Rogue River Valley. There was an unusual heavy frost on the night of April 24, but that water In water pipes became frozen and a general killing of fruit ensued. Is not so. In many of the districts fruit was not injured &t all by frost, and the apple crop of the county will be up to the average. In a few of the apple orchards on the lowlands the trees were thinned of fruit, but enough left to be all that the trees can ripen perfectly. Of course this thlnninr by frost Is not done in a manner that will insure the hlsh-grade fruit had from hand -thinning, as has to be done In ordinary seasons to prevent the trees from being overloaded. On the higher altitudes and in the thermal belt about the hills, not even the strawberries were injured by frost. The only damage was on the lowlands, where the soil vfcas wet and -cold, and where there was no air drainage or currents to move the cold air that settled down from the higher levels. In these places, cherries, early peaches, pears, apples and berries were more or less injured. Some fruit entirely killed, while others escaped with little injury. I havo Interviewed manv fruitgrowers and have examined a number of orchards, and the information I am able to get to date is that the apple crop may be cut down a per cent but may not be that much, for owing to this being a late Spring many of the trees were not in blossom wlcn the frost came. As most of the bearing pear orchards are on the very low lands, the yield of pears is probably cut 50 per cent, but it will take another week to even prove that, because many of the pears do not yet show that they were even chilled and are not turned black at the core as they do when frozen. The peach orchards and the berry patches are also mostly on the low lands, so they, too, will probably not yield above DO per cent. The cherries are prac tically gone, but as there Is very little of this fruit grown here, its loss is of no conse quence. The pioneers of Rogue River Valley all settled along the streams and planted their orchard on the lowest. dampest land they bad, and this is why such a large per cent of the fruit of this valley was In the frozen zone and got killed. But this happens years apart, sometimes there being no frost for 10 or more years. As Rogue River Valley has no halls, nor heavy winds and rain storms to wash off the polen or beat off the fruit, no sleets and heavy, wet snows to break down the fruit trees, and not one-tenth of the pests thnt make life a burden and the fruit profits small to the orchardlsts of the Eastern Btates the fruitgrowers of Rogue River Val ley can stand a little frost once In a while, or otherwise they would all become million aires within a few years. With their Bart lett pears averaging hlph prices on cars at the shipping point here and some of the Cornice pears selling f. o. b. the car. New York at pTlces not realized by pears from any other district in the United States, and their Newtown apples leading on high prlc for the last nvc years in the London market there is profit in Rogue River or chards even should frosts be a regular mis hap, as Is the case in all thejfrult districts of the East.
