Prevent Forest Fire

Miss Joyco Bennett of KlumatU
Kails was winner of tlie second
prize offered for tho best forest
I fire prevention essay offered by the
Stop Forest Fires nsociation. Miss
j Bennett's essuy follows:
Forest Fire Prevention
I Before loarnlns the effect of
: forest fires, their prevention, and
; how they are detected it is neces-
j sary to know tho location of the
i forests of Oreson and thir value
to the stale In various ways.
The forests of Oregon are di-
vlded iuto three fairly distinct re
I gions. The are: The forests of the
I Coast range, the forests of tho Cas
jcudo range, and the Blue Mountain
I forests. ,
I Yellow plno is the most important
commercial tree of Oregon forests,
and comprises a large part of tho
timber in those forests.
At $3 each thousand feet, which
Is about tho average, tho timber of
Eastern Oregon alone is wortli over
582.000,000 on tho stump.
Lumber, however. Is not tho only
product of the forests. They are
of great value In conserving the
water which falls in the form of
rain and snow. The ground, Ken
craily overlaid with a blanket of
decaying mold, forms n reservoir
which absorbs large amounts of
water. It acts as a blotter, and
only after tho ground is full of
water does this water begin to run
off. Tho water of the streams of
Oregon Is of untold value In the life
of its people.
Also, many people go to the
woods for rest and recreation.
Camp grounds are established for
the use of those people who are too
careless or too Ignaront to take
care of the woods in which they
enmp. The recreational resources
of our forests and mountains can
be counted as one of the largest
land most important, and it Is esti
mated that over, a million people
each year enjoy those things of
fered by the forests.
In furnishing 'forage for stock
our forests play another Important
part In the economic welfare of the
state, as the meat products which
come from the stock grazed In the
forests help give life and susten
ance to thousands of Oregonlans.
The hay and grain saved In this
way can be either used to feed the
stock in the winter or may be
made Into flour.
Tho box factories and iumbcrmills
of Klamath county depend for
support upon the neighboring for
ests. The workmen in these mills
receive , for wages the money In
directly Issuing from these forests.
They In turn pay to tho merchants
of tlo town In treurn for services
rendered. This money Is received
by the slate by taxation and used
for building of highways and
scnoois, wnicn are necessary toi
civilization.
Fires first destroy the small
trees .brush and litter upon the
ground which acts as a fertilizer
for growing trees.- The rires often
burn Just the needles and leaves of
the big trees, leaving the trunks to
rot and fall.
So although the fire has not
killed or injured all tho big trees
from which lumber comes, It has
burned down some of them und the
heat and (lames havu killed others.
The agencies causing 'lro tiro
rlusslfled Into two general divisions
those caused by nature and those
caused by men.
In the division of nature-caused
fires, the most destructive is light
ning, which starts from ."00 to 600
tires every summer. There Is no
way by which lightning fires can
be prevented. They usually oc
cur In tho higher inouiitulus, mill
he best t hut can bo done is to put
out such fires immediately, before
they cover any considerable urea.
By fur the most serious and dev
astating tiros result from man's
carelessness ad ignorance. Camp
fires curolossly built or loft un
telndod spread through dry under
growth, and in timo become forest
tiros, not only destroying the camp
ing grounds, but also tho lumber
valuable to the state. Careless hunt
ers und fishermen are responsible
for many fires by throwing away
either lighted matches, pipe em
bers, smouldering cigars or cigar
ettes. These, fulling Into dry, In
(lnmmnblo pine needles and grass,
dare Into forost fires when fanned
by ho wind.
Certain industries of man find It
necessary to use fire In tho woods
The operation of logging engines
railroad engines, and tho clearing
of land by ranchers result in many
forest fires through lack of care.
From this It may be seen how
essential are the forests of the state,
and tho prevention of forest fires.
Tho State of Oregon has a num
ber of laws which have penalties
of from ten days to three months
In jail, with fines of from ?5 to
$500 if the laws are broken. Thcso
laws are passed to help reduce tho
number of fires caused by careless
ness. There will always be some fires
in the forest which will bo cnused
by nature from lightning, and per
haps some accidental causes ,sueh
as the breaking of power linos.
The losses and damage from all
fires except those caused by nature
or by accident would bo averted If
each person of Oregon would
adopt as his motto "Help prevent
fires," and abide by the following
suggested pledge:
1. Matches I will be sure my
matches are out. I will break It
in two before throwing- it away.
2. Tobacco I will be sure my
pipe ashes, cigar or cigarette stubs
are dead before throwing them
away. I will not throw thorn into
brush, leaves or needles.
3. Making Camp I will build a
small camp fire. I will scrape away
all brush and Inflammable material
from tho spot. I will build It In an
open spaco and not against a tree
or log, or near brush.
4. Leaving Camp I will never
leave a camp firo unattended, oven
for a short time; I will quench It
with water or earth.
5. 'Fighting Fires If I find a
fire I will try to put it out. If I
can't, I will get word of It to tho
nearest United Statos forest ranger
or state firo warden at once. I will
keep in touch with tho rangers.
