OREGON'S WATER SUPPLY
Damage to It and Undergrowth by
Forest Fires. -, i
PORTLAND, Sept. 2. (To the Editor.)
Who la there In Oregon who should not
be deeply interested in the constant prs
servation of the forests, undergrowth and
vegetation upon the mountain water
sheds?
Upon these fall the greatest and heav
iest portion of the annual rainfall. ' Upon
these It should be allowed to store in the
greatest abundance for the supply of the
underground waters In our valleys and
plains. These Invaluable underground
waters are, as yet, too little thought
about and utilized by tht farming com
munity or Oregon.
These forest fires, so prevalent at this
season, form the most formidable foes
to the conservation of . our Invaluabls
water supplies. Many a time, "during the
past 20 years, I have stood on the fire-
swept western slopes - of the Cascade
Range and Rioted the utter desolation of
those burnt regions which ' had nought
left on them but the scent of vegetable
death of undergrowth Ufsj. dejrtroved too j

often by wandering campers' fires left
alive. Some of these far-spreading fires
may have originated from lightning and
the sparks from some railroad locomotive.
I am of the poinion that many of these
fires have originated also from broken
glass bottles scattered around by camp
ers, prospectors, timber-cruisers and
others. Many a time, for lack of a match
I have lighted my pipe with a magnifying
glass, forming a burning-glass, with the
hot sun of Summer at the right angle,
would set fire to any dry substance. I
have read of an instance of a cretonna
curtain being burnt by the focussing of
the sun's rays through a glass water
bottle standing on a window-sill.
I have read of another case, which
occurred in the Blue Mountains of Aus
tralia, where the chance observer saw a
flame suddenly start in a heap of leaves
and twigs. After putting out the fire, he-
found a white glass bottle in the ashes.
"Behold how great a matter a little fire
may kindle." In the region of Australia
referred to, these terribly destructive
fires are of frequent occurrence during
the blazing heat of Summer.
