I In one limtant alone during the paai year a telephone line baa been con-, atructed through the Forest undoiibt- 'dly saved iniiny tliouaamla of feet of valuable timber. In this case a For-1 Ht officer waa enabled by ineana ot t H portable phone, which he carried with him, to aummon help from a1 point 43 mllea dlHtant, and by doing 1 no a fire which would have proved very disastrous, was checked aud fin ally controlled. The need of telephone lines In order to afford prompt menus of com-i niunlcatlon Is more urgent In those countries which are aubject to foreat fires. The origin of audi flreB is al-, ways an Intereatlng problem, and from Information which has been ob-, tallied are due to ninny and varied , causes. Hunters and campers cause j B large portion of such fires, mil-1 rouda in the country traversed by j them, the largest proportion, and lightning;, clearing land, and incen diaries the remainder. It is estimated that the aggregate loss from I H eat fires In all parts of the country dur ing the conflagrations of last year amounted to $.'.0,000,000. When all of the Iohros are taken Into consider ation the gravity of the situation as sumes alarming proportions, and places grave responsibilities upon those who have anything to do with solving of locating and fighting fires. During the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, over 2,500 miles of tel ephone line was constructed on All the National Forests In the West, and since that time the construction of 1,387 miles of additional line has been authorized. The majority of these have been completed and are In operation, the balance will be complet d before June 30, 1900.
