One-Half Occurred in Virginia Alone. Washington, Feb. 23.—Of the 503 fires reported by the forest service as having occurred in 1914 on the national forest purchase areas in the ‘White Mountains of New England and the Southern Appalachians, 319, or eixty per cent. were caused by sparks from locomotives. More than half of these fires, or 272, occurred # Virginia alone, and of these 227 were from locomotive sparks. Three hundred and seventv-nine of the fires were confined to areas of less than ten acres each, and 296 were extinguished before one-quarter of an acre had been burned. The otal loss amounted to $2,192 and the cost of fire-fighting to $1,300, an infinitesimal sum compared with the value. of the timber and reproduction pretected. As the areas swept by fire were mostly cut-over, the greater part of the damage was suffered by _young growth.

REPORT OF CHIEF FORESTER FOR 1914 Government Soid Billion and Haif Feet of Lumdzr Last Year. Selling some biliion and a half board feet of timber and supervising the cutting on several thousand different areas, overseeing the grazing of more than 1,500,000 cattle and 7,500,000 sheep, and building more than 600 miles of road, 2,000 miles of trail, 3,000 miles of telephone line, and 700 miles of fire line are some of the things which the government forest service did last year, as disclosed in the report of the ief forester for 1914. These activities were all on the national forests, which at present total about 185,000,000 acres. There is need, says the chief for- ester, to increase the cut of timber from the national forests wherever a fair price can be obtained for the stumpage, because a great deal of it is mature and ought to be taken out to make roofn -for young growth. Unfavorable conditions in the lumber trade caused new sales of national forest timber to fall off somewhat during the past vear, though the op- erations on outstanding sales con- tracts brought the total cut above that of the previous year by 130,000.- 000 board feet, There was, however, a big increase in small timber sales, these numbering 8,298 in 1914 against 6,182 the previous year. Desirable blocks of national forest timber have been appraised and put on the mar- ket, and it is expected that these will find purchasers when conditions in the lumber industry improve. All told, the government received §1,- 304,053.66 from the sale of timber on the forests in 1914, The Treceipts from all sources totaled $2,437,710.21. Stockmen Satisfied. After eight vears of experience stockmen are well satisfled, says the chief forester, with the way the graz- ing of livestock on the forests is reg- ulated, and have even urged upon congress the application of the same method of control to the unreserved public range. Almost 29,000 permit- tees graze stock on the national for- ests, and these paid to the govern- ment in the fiscal year 1914 fees amounting to over a mlillion dollars. The present tendency to raise fewer sheep and goats and more cattle and horses is shown in the fact that the number of cattle and horses permit- tees on the western forests increased last year by 1,579, while the number of sheep and goat permittees fell off by a total of 268. The western stock business, the forester points out, is becoming attached to the soil, and the itinerant sheep grower and the specu- lator-in cattle are giving place to the permanent resident and owner of im- proved ranch property. The latter is always given preference in the use of national forest range. Somie $400,000 was spent by forest service during the year for permanent improvements on the na tional forests to make them acces- gible and to insure their protection from fire. These improvements in- clude 270 miles of new road, 153 miles of trail, 3,063 miles of telephone line, 775 miles of fire line, and 106 lookout structures, besides Dbridges, corrals, fences, and cabins. In ad- 642 miles of road were built for the public by the use of ten per cent, of the national forest receipts, as authorized by congress. Anyone May Apply. Under another law, twenty-five per cent. of the national forest receipts for the year, amounting to $586,- 593.39, were paid over to the various states in which the forests lie for the benefit of county schools and roads. Since 1909, when systematic cla fication of national forest lands w: more than 10,000,000 acr have been eliminated. Scattered in- terior tracts which it is not practical to eliminate are opened to settlement through listing, which allows them to be taken up under the forest home- stead law.
