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"

Eugene. Or., Aug. 84.' At the coro
ner's Inquest . over the body of L.' S.
Prlndel, who was shot and killed Bun
