Urges Troop Patrol of Forests George M. Cornwall Points Out Advantages of Federal Troops In Connection With Fire-Fighting In National Forests Resolutions Are Adopted. (By George M. Cornwall, editor The Timbcrman, Portland, Or.) I think there is scarcely a person who lives in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana or California who lias not been aroused to the neces sity for greater vigilance in the mat ter of forest fire protection and pre vention, especially in the national forests. ' Tho experiences we arc now pass ing through bring home the lesson clearly. The loss of life and prop erty, both private and national, de mands immediate attention. The writer at Spokane, Wash., on August 4, at the semi-annual meet ing of the Western Pine Manufac turers' association, introduced the following resolution, which was adopted with a view of enlisting the national government in the success ful fighting. and prevention of for est fires in the national forests which have been doing heavy damage in Idaho and Montana and a lesser damage in Washington, Oregon and Califernia: "Whereas, There exists a grave menace to the timber in the national forests on account of fire, carrying with it great and irrepnrable dam age to life and property; and, "Whereas, There are stationed in different posts in the United States regulur government troops who could be advantageously utilized in fire protection and extinguishment; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a communication be addressed to the president of the United States as commander-in-chief of the nrmy, tasking that troops Jocatod in tho different slates be .regularly instructed in the methods of forest fire fighting und patrol; and be it further "Retolved, That said troops be placed under the direction of the de partment of the interior or othor ap propriate department of the govern ment nnd assigned for patrol duty during tho months of May, June, July, August and September of each year, to tho end thut the timber re sources of the United States be more carefully conserved." i The resolution was heartily in dorsed and telegrams were sent bv the association to President Taft and Henry S. Graves, chief forester, and also bv President Flewolliug of the Western Forestry and Conserva tion association. President Tuft di rected tho secretary pf war to lend the assistance of troops wherever available in combatting fire. Tho troops havo d)ne effective service. WUh graining and preparation their efficiency would bo increased. The government should inuko it a polioy to maintain a corps of sol uiors A sj'stematic campaign of fire protection should be inaugurated and carried out by the troops. By plac ing sentries on tho promontories overlooking the timbered area sup plied with telephone communication, any information of incipient fires could be quickly transmitted. The troops could materially assist the forest service in cutting fire trails and making accessible every portion of the national forests and also maintaining a thorough and efficient patrol system. The greatest value of patrol is necessarily along trav eled routes, railroad, etc. There are at present about 25,000 soldiers at the different army poses. If half of the men were assigned annuallv for forest duty it would practically mean the end of disastrous fires in the national forests. Lightning i? one of the most serious fire menaces to be combatted. There are in the states of Montana, Idaho, Washing ton, Oregon and California 1800 for est service men. These are a mere handful covering the immense scope of territory, and this force must bo augmented if results are to oe achieved. The forest service has performed its function ' admirably, with the limited money and men at its disposal, but its efforts should be supplemented by tho regular army.
