Few Forest Fires in 1909 "Last year was the most con ductive to forest tires of any season in 40 years, yet we came through it with the best showing of any year in the history of \\ ashington,’' said P. D. Simonds, Jr., chief tire war den for the Washington Forest Fire Association. "It is our tirsi year of thoroughly organized effort,’’ continued the Washington official who was passing through Portland en route to California. "Our satis faction may be inferred, when it is known that we held the loss down to practically a nominal figure, and kept the total number of fires that slarted to a much lower figure than has been experienced in many years less favorable for conflagrations Second to Oregon, Washington has the greatest stand of timber ot any American state. I’he milling and general manufacturing indu, tries ot the state are more than double the lumber manufacture oí Oregon at the present lime Wash ington people foresee tiieir great need of forests in a few years, and are taking time by the forelock in organizing to defend themselves against the greatest consumer of timber in the Pacific Northwest. From Mr. Simonds' statements, it appears that the initial efforts art highly satisfactory, and that allot the timber owners and the people of the state at large have been en couraged to make their forest fin protective work still better ami surer of results. "What gives us great satisfac tion," said Mr. Simonds, "is th*- fact that there were far fewer tires reported this season th in in 1908 In the ordinary course of events the fires of 1909 should have been vastly greater in number, and more disastrous than those of 1908 The fact that we have fewer to r< port, and the further fact that those few made no serious headway, proves the etficieny of our educa tional work. It is in this line that the great work in prevention must be done. We educate the people to be careful. Campers, smokers, loggers, railway managers, farmers who burn slashing, and every other citizen is warned and pleaded with to be careful, and sei no fire that may spread during th* dry season to standing timber. We issue great quantities of literature, send forth warning notices to b< posted, and urge all wardens and patrols to meet the people who have business in the forests during the dry spell, and educate them in the duty of caution. "In 1908 there were 1 too fire- reported in the jurisdiction of the association, and in 1909 the number was but 800. This was certainly due to our work, for the season of 1909 favored fires. That some o' our 1909 fires did not carry de struction far and wide was also due I believe, to the prompt work in circumscribing them. In 1902 w* had one fire in Skamania and Clark Counties which burned 2,000,000, 000 feet of standing timber. The aggregate of all the fires in 190*1 was not great. Our outlay in pe troling, educating the people, and keeping warning notices up was $45 000. The slate of Washington nor any of its people ever made a better investment than this sum "In Washington we find that about 60 per cent of the fires that start in our forests originate in a spark sent forth by a locomotive, used by .4 main-line railway or a logging road. This is a great source of danger, and we hope to have some remedial work inagur.it- ed to reduce the resulting fires An effort will probably be made to hav* have locomotives running through the forests use oil for fuel, or adopt some equally safe means of ar resting sparks. Wltet: burning coal in the style ot grate coinn on in our state, and using the quality of coal generally taken for locomo tive fuel, it is very difficult to keep •parks from getting out and igniting dry forest growths along the right •f way. In reducing the causes of tire, we have to face this problem first, and wdl probably experience here our most serious struggle. In preventing forest fires, we do not wish to interfere with the industries >t a state, but want to r< **'h a plane of action that will protect our im mensely valuable timber, while not imposing undue burdens upon rail ways or others ” Oregon and Montana being the only two states of the North* es. or extreme West where fire protection in the forests has not b«en under liken by organized effort, all in terested in timber conservation arc eager to see 'an effort made here Mr- Simonds voices the common de sire. He thinks that when the pe* • pie of Oregon study results attained in Washington and Idaho, every lone will insist upon protective as sociations getting into the field as quickly as possible. Mr. .-»iinond.-. also believes that this line of effort has the farth* r value ot calling the attention of the people at huge o the tremendous resour es had in their timber, and of the prime necessity of protecting and develop mg this wealth —-Journal. — —-isA.1----- ILL HEALTH IS MORE EXPENSIVE ANY CI HKS.
