" proaecUte except la wilful or mallcloue
cases. It appears from this , umrner's
experience, however, said Mr.; Chap
man, that there are some citizens , wMo
mill not cease to be criminally careless
until severely punished. We have there
fore decided to prosecute rigorously any
cases pf violation of the law; to the end
that standing timber, both of the gov
ernment and of private parties, may not
continue to be menaced by those who
can not be appealed to In any other
. manner.
Seven cases In which damaging fires
have been caused either wilfully or by
carelessness have so far been reported
te the district headquarters.
Discovers Fire. "
On August" 15, 1910, Supervisor Harris
; t the Wallowa national forest reserve
discovered a fire on the south fork of
the Wallowa river, which had spread
from a camp about seven miles south of
Iiostine. When found Jthe fire had
spread over but a few yards of ground,
; and if It had not been extinguished at
once it would have destroyed a great
deal of timber, both live and dead, which

A alight attempt had been made evi
dently by those who had built the camp
fire to extinguish it after it bad begun
; to spread, but this was not successful.
The supervisor extinguished the fire and
at once Investigated its origin. He as
certained from settlers along the road
and residents of Lostine that D.. O. Fer
guson and Dr. M. Stiles, both of Walla
Walla, Wash., had been camping at this
place and had left a short- time before.
- These two men were soon arrested at
Wallowa and taken before Justice of the
Peace Wigglesworth. -At the hearing
they plead guilty to the charge brought
against them and were fined the mini
mum amount fixed by law.
rirea Slashings.
-. On May, 5, 1910, Henry Langlole set
fire to slashing on his land, and next
morning left his home, thinking that the
fire Was extinguished-The fire, how
ever, escaped and burned over approxl-
! ' mately 45 acres-of national forest tim
ber doing considerable damage. Mr.
Langlols "agreed -to " pay ; the ' assessed
damage done, and this settlement was
. - accepted.-....-. , '.. -i.-'i-.V' .
On July 80, 1910. Fred W. Cleator,
deputy supervisor-of the Colville na
tional forest, filed a complaint with the
county attorney against Andrew Erlck
son for starting a fire upon the public
domain and leaving It unattended. On
August 15 a hearing waShad before Jus
tlce of the Peace W. 'H. Taylor at Cur-
lewr-WMh.T-at-whiehMft-Erlcksn plead
guilty and was fined 2S and costs.
On July 80..1910, Mr, Cleator filed a
complaint -with the county attorney
against DanBush of Ferry, Wash, for
starting a fire upon the public domain
' and leaving it -Unattended,. whereby the
fire escaped and damaged considerable
, property... On August 13, a hearing was
. bad before Justice of the Peace J. F.
Clay at Curlew, Wash. Mr. Bush pleaded
' guilty to the charge and was fined f 25
and costs, amounting to $6.40.
Case to Grand Jury.
8. B. Fisher, a squatter claimant on
. a Toroda creek. Ferry county .Washlng
. ton, was arraigned before United States
commissioner at Republic, Wash., Aug
' list 2, and as a result was bound over
f or-ction by-the- f ederal aand jury.
The latter, on September 21, returned a
true bill against Mr. Fisher, the offense
. charged being . that - the , trespasser In
violation of the federal, statutes wilfully
act fire to his slashing, and failed to
take proper precautions ' against the
spreading of the fire. As a result the
tire got beyond his - control and de
stroyed a small amount of timber on the
adjoining squatter claim, and on the mv
j', tlonal forest Mr.' Fisher's trial is set
for October 10 at Spokane, Wssh.
- On September 10, 1910, J. H. Gregg
. was taken before United States commls
T eloner at Eugene, Or., and on the testi
mony submitted was bound over for the
, action of the grand Jury and in default
of 12500 ball was committed until the
V Jury meets In October. Mr. Gregg la
. alleged to have set, out a fire on the
Cascade national forest in violation of
' , the federal statutes and leaving the firs
unattended. This fire destroyed a
large amount of. timber on the national
forest and 3 evolved besides a consider
able expense to the' government in ex
tinguishing the firsi ,. -,
- Svldenoa Available.
" On September 29 and 80 the case of
--C- P." Molt' was troughf tefore 'the
grand Jury at Spokane. Mr. Molt whose
. squatter claim is within , the Chelan
national forest, desired to, burn a slash
ing during the very dry season. Permit
was denied hlra and he was Informed by
those who assisted him in burning- that
, . It would be exceedingly dangerous to I
start a fire' during such a dry time,1
Notwithstanding this, on July 12 he set j
fire Jo Ms slashings and within half,
an hour the fire was beyond control. It I
destroyed national forest timber Valued
at $15,000. , Although this was a case I
in whlcn botb ; the regulations of the
- forest service and the state and federal
; , ws were clearly . violated the grand
1 Jury refused to return a true bill.
. This Is the first case where ample
cvidenoe was. available In which a Jury
has failed to recognize the necessity for
j-unlshing-juieb gross carelessness. '
v The need for a larger force during the
summer to patrol national forest land
has teen strikingly evident this sum
mer. There Is no question but that
'fires can be practically stopped if the j
area each man has to patrol is of such !
else that he can get well over It in one
day. The, cost of, such a force would i
