In reply to a QUM residents with or without pay tuition railed l.y dlutu Wl ti H. nssist authorities In Suppressing fur 1 I'rall. New Laws In Prospect To Govern Lumber Operators Cutting National Forests Regulations governing the cutting of timber on the ational forests are becoming more and more stringent, Mr. Secretary Sees That All Is Well 1 1 H especially as far as fire prevention activities are con cerned. In some cases, however, especially in the state of Washington, the federal regulations practically paral lel the state laws. Some proposed regulations have just been put out by the forest service. These will be dis cussed, presently, by W. B. Greeley, U. S. forester, and California timber owners and possibly with other timber owners elsewhere in the West. While these embrace most of the old rules some changes are being suggested. The proposed regulations follow : , (1) "Timber Sale Officer Must be Trained in Fire Control (Mandatory). Men who work on sales exclu sively, as well as those who work on sales temporarily or in connection with a district ranger's job must be trained in fire control. Temuorarv sale employees, such as scal ers, must be trained in suppression technique by officers m charge of sales. (2) "M.iiiiliilory. Kor every iro jecl sale u fire Plan will be pro-1 specific date will be fixed l.y which ... ., .. ,i.,., ,r. in all machines must he of outside fire plan for the forest. It in elude in) the action expected of the purchaser in case of fire and of the purchaser in case of fire and for which lie is responsible under Section 1", form 202. and (b) correlation of the duties, responsi bilities and authority of the pur chaser, the forests officers on th'e sale and the district ranger. (3) "In a forthcoming revisiou of Form 202. Section IT will contain a provision that during periods of fire danger as specified by the for est officer in charge the purchaser shall prohibit smoking and build Ins of camp and lunch fires except at established camps and such tem porary camp sites as the forest of ficer may designate. . (4) "Caches of fire-fighting tools must be available on every large operation so that no crew of five or more men wiir be working at greater than a specified distance from a tool box. "Discretionary. This is a general requirement for all operations, but the district forester may authorize exceptions for small operations in regions of extremely low fire dan ' ger. - "Mandatory. Portable gas engine pumps and hose must be-re-squired as standard equipment on all large operations where surface water is available. The standard require ment is one pump and 1.000 feet of hose wherever 20 or more men will be working in the woods, dur ing the fire season. "Discretionary. The district for ester may wa'ive this requirement on sales where water is not available and in his discretion may extend it to smaller operations. (0) "Discretionary. A standard requirement except as waived by the district forester will be a mov ing patrol during the fire season on portions of the sale area where work is being conducted. "Discretionary. The district , for ester should nft hesitate to close sale areas to the public during dan gerous fire seasons. Inflammability of the area and value of forest and purchasers' property should be con sidered. I 8 I "Kor operations where steam equipment is used the contract must contain a section providing for shut down upon notice from the supervis or of all or any part of the opera tion without advance notice during periods of extreme fire danger. (9) "The complete elimination of the wood or coal burning boiler is the only satisfactory solution of fire danger from steam equipment. As a matter not open to debate, the service will require those fuels and types of equipment which are prac ticable. "Mandatory. Oil burning locomo tives must have spark arresters and must be cleared of wood and coals before being operated. "Where it is decided that oil is a practicable fuel for locomotives this requirement will not be waived In connection with purchases of small amount of government tim ber, even though it will necessitate changes in the purchaser's equip ment. Forester suggests that oper ators unwilling to comply, cut the timber during seasons of low hazard. "Wood or coal burning locomo-Une, who has a contract to build sev tlves must be equipped with best I en teen miles of railway line from known spark arresters, and fin fighting equipment including force pump, hose and water supply.

"Where oil is not used for fuel, the lequlremeiit that donkeys ex-1 Imust outside the .(tack will be put into effect as rapidly an practicable. I This means thai In writing new contracts and In modifying existing contracts, s requirement will be In "eluded that ail donkeys newly pur chased must be of outside exhaust -type. Where continued use of iu-jftdo-exhauat machines Is allowed - exhaust type. The same principle of establishing a date by which only outside exhausting machines will be ! allowed on national forest lands will be followed with regard to op erators who are not now logging government timber, but who may be expected to do so in the future. "Injectors or similar equipment will not be allowed in place of force pumps. Watchmen at noon and night for all wood burning donkeys. tlOi "DiKcrriionnry.
