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.
