Forest Fire
Protection
In planning an organization and
placing -In effect a flro plan, the
fundamental consideration was - to
establish a system as efficient us
possible- with the amount of mone?
available. The government, like pi.
Tate business, is limited In its ex
penditures. From the appropriation
congress makes, each year, separate
funds are allotted for special pur
poses, 'such as permanent Improv
ment fund', fire protection fund, gon
oral expenso fund, etc The beJt
possible .use of this money must o.
made fo .accomplish the work requir
ed and Insure reasonably safe protec
tion of the forests.
Aside from patrol and flro flgL
lng other means are employed, to pre
vent fires as far as such means prove
effoctlvo. Precautionary measures,
ouch as the piling and burning of
brush and debris on timber sale and
free uso areas servo to clean up the
groiind And greatly lessen tho fire
menace. Educating tho people that
use or iruvui inrouga luo lurenia 10 1
exercise great caro with fire, cigars,
cigarettes, tobacco and matches Is an
Important preventive measure, and Ir
this work the state governments,
timber owners' associations nnu
otberu help greatly. Constant re
minders of the danger of fires In tin
form of signs are posted all throug1
the woods, Clearing and burning
brush 'aiong roads and trails is still
another-measuro being employed Just
as fast as time and money permit..
Dut the chief principle of fire pro
tectlon under present day conditions
is ombodlod in tho lookout and pa
trol system. This consists of estab
lishing lookout stations on high
peaks, 'the view from which com
mands u vast scopo of territory. Dur
ing tho months of July, 'August and,
September, except wnen wcathor con-
dltlons, ore unfavorable to flra, men)
are stationed on there high peaks'
whose duty It Is to keop a constant'
lookout In a)l directions for flro, I
There are fourteen such lookout sta-i
tlons established on tho Crater for
est. The men .at these points are
equipped with telepbones and im
mediately report tho direction, ap
proxlmato distance and location o
all fire's 'discovered. " '
It tobk tlmo.and monoy to extend
telopbuncr lines through 'the v6ods td
lookout stations. .It could not be ac
complished In two or threo years for
the appropriations wore limited.
Howovor wondorful euccces has been
ucblovo'd In this respect. Thero now
remain'only four lookput stations yet
to be equipped with telephone lines
and there will be eighteen of them
on tho PrAtor forest,
Fronj , (bo combined, lpokout siu
tlons, as arranged,, practically (he
whole surface area within the Crater
national forest. 1,080,000 acres, can
be seen". Many of the lookouts nec
essarily command In part the samo
territory, and when such is tho enso
there is. exhibited a gratifying spirit
of rivalry botween two or more look
out bibb -o discover and report bo-,
fore another, Jhe, location of a fire

Uvory forest office has a copy of the

of tho flro. '
Tho whqle' object of tho patrol or
lookout system Is to discover and got
men'to a flro In the shortost possible
time. All forest fires hdvo a small
boglnnlng and If attacked In their in
clplency can be extinguished by ono
or two men, while if allowed to burn
and sproad for hours and even dayu
at a time, as was common In
previous years, 1Q0 or 200 men may
ue needed to control It.

Development of tho timber re
sources of southern Orogoti In tho
hands of tho gnvornmont will prob
ably take place rapidly ulthln tho
next few yoart, no doubt ruuch more
quickly than tho timber In pome
slon of private owners. Of tho
20,000,000,000 feet of standing tim
ber In Jackson county, moro than
one-half of It Is In tho hands of prl
rate owners. Yot tbo lumbering In
dustry In Jackson county Is In Its
Infancy, while It should be foremost
among all Industries In (ho county.
In some future time It certainly will
be, but such dovolopmenl deends on
better transportation facilities. Own
ers of largo tracts of timber tiavo so
much capital Involvod In tho acquire
ment of their holdings that they sro
reluctant to Invest heavier In thn
construction of railroads In order to
Kit tholr timber to market. Market
values for lumber havn constantly
boen Increasing and they feci It n
good Investment to continue holding
their timber. Tho government Is
willing to sell Its mature timber at
any time, and Its recently fire killed
timber It Is advertising for sale now
at extraordinary low prices und In
large enough bodies to warruut the
construction of railroads to Uiu
timber.
