EXPERIMENT IN UTAH
¿¿¡„rial
o r i a
(R eprinted from the
O regonian of Ju n e 6.)
It was but lately, by calendar
reckoning, th a t we of western
Oregon were protesting the wet
w eather. Recalling this emphatic
com plaint we w ere astonished by
the recent outbreaking of forest
fires. It seemed much too soon for
the inevitable conflict of man and
flame. However, it needed but a
few days of sunshine, aided and
abetted by an east wind, to dehy­
d rate the fo rest lands th at so re­
cently had been satu rated . Forest
fires ensued as they w ere bound
to. The good se rv a n t had gotten
out of hand again.
The em ploym ent of the future,
the recreation, the homes, aye, the
happiness, w ere destroyed in
economic em byro. I.gt us suppose
th a t some of these file s in the
forest were unavoidable. Still, we
face the fact th at most of them
need never have been. By our own
e rro r and heedlessness the green
heritage was put to the torch. Can
not you imagine the self-reproach,
the guilty conscience, the vain re­
gret, of the man whose careless­
ness has unleased a forest fire?
Yet it cannot be called back, not
ever.
The rules of caution need not
here be repeated, fo r they readily
suggest themselves to him who
gives thought to prudence. If you
follow the all-em bracing rule you
will never have cause to reproach
yourself. The good servant can so
readily become cruel and unspar­
ing m aster. W hen you enter the
forest, to work or to play, be re­
solved th a t you will not be the one
who tu rn s the red scrouge loose.
Be careful of fire in the forest.
