NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1915, NATIONAL FOREST FIRES LAST YEAR Wcrc of Greater Danger Since National Forests Were Established. The season of 1914, the off of the forest Jied greater danger from five hational forests than any year the establishment of the national forests. To mect this emergency and to prevent great loss of public prop- erty, the department of agriculture was obliged to exceed the amount appropriated for fire protection incur a deficiency of $3 The _conditions of drouti and other factors of forest fire hazard were said to be worse than in 1910, when tac astrous ldaho fi Weather bur in most of the ¥y mountain Pacific coast £ last winter's snows were much below the norm and as a result there v an ed spring and an early drying out of the forests. In western Montana Morthern Idaho there were forest fires in considerable numbers by the end of May and they continued until Oc- tober. In California, where there is normally a very long season of drouth, the fire season started in some portions five weeks earlier than usual, and in the southern part of the state ‘the fire danger was still great at the end of November. A long dry seu- _®on, sustained periods of high tem- perature, recurring hard and steady winds, and, in certain places un- ~~"WSnally hot, dry nights, rendered the forests exceedingly inflammable and the problem of fire prevention un- usually difficult, Over 6,000 Fires. The total number of fires durinrg the season of 1914 which threatened the national forests and which had to be handled by the protective or- ganization of the forest service were 6,112, or about 1,000 more than oc- curred in 1910. This number repre- sents the fires reported up to Decem- ber 1. At that time reports indieat- ed that therc was still a dangerous condition in southern California and 4n certain portions of the national forests of the east. The service says that the total for the vear were in- creased by fires in these regions dur- ing December. The most serious conditions are re- ported from western Montana and northern Idaho and on the Pacific slope. The weather conditions in the central and southern Rocky moun- tain regions were more nearly normal. As a consequence only fifteen per ‘cent, of tne total number of all na- tional forest fires occurred in these regions and they were handled with- out difficulty and with very small loss of property. Of the entire 6,112 fires which threatened the national forests, éighty-one per cent. were extinguished by the protective organization befora they had covered ten acres. The per- centage of fires that burned more than ten acres was smaller than in any previous year. While detailed reports have rot vet been received appraising the ox- act loss to the government through the forest fires, a preliminary esti- mate shows the loss of merchantable timber will propably not exceed $400,- 000, In 1910 the corresponding csti- mate of loss was nearly $15,000,000, but later estimate materially reduced the amount. Through the work of the protective force the fires this yvear were largely confined to old burns and to less heavily timbered arecas. The loss to the government through _~ the destruction of young trees which had sprung up in these openings is larger than the actual loss to green timber. Region of Greatest Danger. In Montana and Idaho alone, said that the value of specific bodles of timber which were threatened by the approximately 2,000 fires which started and were put out, aggregated the enormous sum of over $59,00%u,- 000. It was in this section that the largest amount of money had to be spent to prevent a recurrence of the great disaster of 1910. Tn Oregon and Washington, tae 1,200 fires which were handled by the department, hreatened upwards of $24,000,000 worth of timber, and these figurs a.C~ cording to the department experts, do not include the value of non-mer- chantable timber and young growth on about 5,000,000 acres of land, and several million dollars worth of ranch and other private property which lay in the path of the threatening con- ITCHED FOR 20 YEARS, RESINOL CURED IN 10 DAYS Baltimore, Md.—“About twenty years ago both my legs began to iteh from ankle to knee. Little pimples came out. The itching and burning was something terrible. I would start to seratch and could not stop. I would even seratch through the skin and that of course -would leave a sore wliich I was com- pelled to bandage. “I tried several preseriptions and treatments, but received not a parti of benefit—no more than if the treat- ments were cold water. T then began to have very little faith in anything and of course could do nothing but scratch away. “After suffering constantly for twen- ty years, a friend rccommended Res- inol Soap and Resinol Ointment. From the very first application, T found re- lief, and was entirely cured in ten ‘days. The itching and stinging sensa- tions have ceased and my skin is as smooth as a child’s.” (Signed) Charles Warner, 1123 N.
