' uimumnrni i kwi uimiiuiuu FREES LAIIE Ml Coroner's Jury Says Shooting of L. S. Prindel Was v. Justifiable; . . "Tne least said about, "the .'Indian method . of fighting , fire the better," Bald E. rr. Allen of the Western Forestry and Conservation ; association,, discuss ing' yesterday the means which should be nployed to prevent destruction of forests. ; ' ' The Indian method is' to burn ovei "tne ground whenever twigs, leaves and brush have accumulated. , This, says N. y. Throne, i of Ashland, Or., was prac tlced by the red manvfor hundreds Of years while the forests were growing. "It, was under; ih6 false but attract ive , theory.- that -Ht4 was necessary to protect our water aupply and' also" ta assure, a future growth of timber with the reaiilt-. that tha hriifih nnA ruhhlnh . accumulating for years Is now the causo of destroying millions' upon millions of feet of our finest timber," says Mr Throne in writing to The Journal. t "Use, of the Indlan'method or allowing tne brush to remain on the ground are alike mistakes," said Mr. Allen, "burning the ground over destroys the young trees while allowing the brush and debris to remain on the ground constitutes he fire menace from whkjjt the best of forests suffer danger 'ill - through the dry summer season." . ( ' throne of Same 'Opinion. : 'This opinion Is evidently shared by Mr. Throne, for he says in his letter: "Let every timber land owner begin this fall to clean up his forest. II wll' be a big Job because It has been neglect ed so long; but It will have to be done and If the timber is worth anything! h is worm protecting rrom destruction by brush fires. Better employ men at reasonable wages spring and fall to clean up the surracer of the ground and make timber safe from fires In the dry season than be compelled to, pay them big wages In dry and busy season when men are hard to get and the battle in so hopeless that In many cases It could nui. uo wun uy in uie men in lue world. "Control the fire situation Instead of letting it ruin you through the policy of neglect and prayers. "No penalities can be made severe enough to prevent fires from starting because fire bugs are not easily caught. "Let our legislatures make laws re quiring the immediate building of fire trails and the cleaning up of the surface of the ground In forests and burning of all debris In logging camps and pro- - vide for state and county aid in making the timber safe from fires. Should Build Pire Trails. "The state could well afford to build a system of fire trails and appropriate money to fight fires within the bound aries of these until owners of timber land can get rid of the 'dangerous tint der beds that have been-, years In aeu mulating. "If something worth while is not done at Once one of our most attractive tax able properties will be nearly wiped off tne tax roils or the northwest and It will not, be longer necessary to raise each year the assessed valuation on our bottled up timber. It is no wonder that timber land has become about the hard est thing ta dispose of In , this state, with the taxes steadily advanced and the fire, danger Increasing with eacl succeeding season and the Southern Pa cific Imposing such exorbitant freight rates that lumbering Is made unprofl lable as the numerous. failures of mill ing concerns along that railroad indi cate." Mr. Allen believes In piling up the brush and burning It. He said today: "The greatest advantage of brush burning la the protection it gives against fire. In many cases brush burning Is , the only practicable safer guard against fire. Should Burn Brush. . "After the average lumbering opera tion the ground is covered with slashing, scattered about or piled. Just as the swampers left It. This, In the dry sea son Is a veritable fire trap. Probably 90 per cent of all uncontroi;d cuttings . are burned over, which retards the sec ond crop at least from 60 to 100 years t"?l"af t' Jiianeuuy cimnges tne composition of tne forest. Fires may be set by loggers while still at work on the area or several years after by lightning, campers or locomotives. By piling the brush and burning it In wet weather or In snow when there Is no danger of the fire .spreading, all rn flammable material Is removed, and the second growth can come up without serious risk of being destroyed. "Even where Only part of the brush Is burned and the rest Is piled, as when the piles In open places along ridges, streams or laid off lines are burned, very much is , gained in case , of fire, since these cleared lanes form bases from which a fire may be fought" ' ' (Special DUpatcb to The Journal. Eugene. Or., Aug. 84.' At the coro ner's Inquest . over the body of L.' S. Prlndel, who was shot and killed Bun day night by John Johnson as he was leaving Johnson's house, after Johnson had found him with his wife, the Jury returned a verdict of Justifiable killing and Sheriff Brown , released Johnson from custody. -.The evidence Introduced . at the . in quest showed that , Prlndel had ruined Johnson's home and that Johnson caught- him. in : an embarrassing ' posi tion with his , wife."
