None of the 75 Douglas fir posts
set in January 1928 after being
given the salt treatment has fail
ed, nor have any of the 25 lodge
pole pine posts treated and set iiP
1938 failed, although most of the
untreated lodge pole posts set at
the same time have rotted off,
whether set green or dead. The
bulletin also shows the life of
posts of other species.
The salt treatment is not new
in Oregon though it has not been
generally used, says T. J. Starker,
professor of forestry on leave who
has been in active charge of the
project. Posts are treated while
green with a tablespoonful of a
mixture made up of equal parts
of corrosive sublimate, arsenic and
common salt.
A three-fourths inch hole is
bored in the post about six inches
above the ground line, slanting
downward. After the mixture is

two holes are recommended, with

The Illinos Valley Airport plane
furnished not only transport for
the Smoke Jumpers, but also sup
plied the remote lookout stations.
Six stations were supplied a total
of 200 pounds in one and a half
hours flying time.
The dropping is accomplished
with a burlap parachute at an ele
vation of about 300 feet above the
station. The plane circles once to
locate the correct spot, then drops
the cargo on the second pass. All
cargo has landed within from 20
to 100 feet of the target without
material damage to the contents.
The York Butte telephone failed
and left the lookout without com
munication. A replacement tele
phone was dropped in on short no
tice and the station could again re
port fires.
Fire camps used to be located
near water, requiring a long hike
to the fire line after a long wait
for supplies. Small camps, all air
delivered. may now be spotted near
the fire line with the saving of
i '
much precious time.
This does not mean that heavy
freighting by pack strings will be
replaced. It does mean, however,
that much of the light mid-sum
mer and emergency supplying may
be done more economically and
expeditiously than with the stock.
