His message through the tirmament, lhati tne . .t happened, son, Praise God for this, "itcan't oeUone!" SAFETY FIRST Woods Operation Under tne above heading, we shaii continue some pertinent remarks in tnis issue which apply most directly upon the great damage caused by forest tires and tne need of serious co-operation by ail interests to prevent such unwarranted causes of damage to any community and section of country generally. KernarKS bearing on this subject are very important at this time of tne year, for we will soon be entering upon the dry, windy, Spring Season, when fires get started and spread over large areas of forest land and cause untold damage. It is not only damage to the property owner over whose land the fire runs, but is a damage and a great loss to the whole dangerous seasons of the year, anu put out alt the fires from this cause in their incipiency, as far as possible. The railroad company would be well reimbursed at aome time for the small outlay necessary to attend to this matter, for it would mean more freight in time from the saved umber, either in wood or timber products. Another source of forest fires and a very large one, is the setting of fires in the woods iy herders of stock in the mountain areas. Also, people gathering chestnuts A ot e e es are either carelessness on the part of the herd gatherers, in building camp fires and not extinguishing them when ready to leave that immediate section, and consequently the fires spread over indefinite areas. The main cause, however, among this class, is the setting out of fires, so they will burn over large areas of timber land, in order to start a new growth of grass or feed for live stock, and to uncover the nuts which they ex- nect to gather This cause would not be so harmful if the fi>es wer- set on their own lands and confined to their own holdings. . I would say that such a condi- tition only holds good once in a hundred times, or even less. In a number of states they have laws making it a heavy penalty, and imprisonment in some cases, where people set ont fires which damage property other than their own. A rnrVrr which -' V Mr' much interest to this section of North Carolina just at present, is the bill presented to the present legislature of this State, by- Representative Gallatin Roberts, for the protection of North Carolina forests against fires. This measure, authorizes the State Geological Board to take such action as it deems necessary to provide full measures for the protection of forested areas of North Carolina, and carries an aopropration of twenty thousand di rs ($20,000) to carry out the provisions of the aot. To give an idea of this bill, we quote verbatim, the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh sections (K0.10.11'h) as follows viz: vidual will to his utmost to CO «*"' operate >in<l prevent the IJH of such fires as best he eat.. fined The can- f„|. i....re lows: Sparks front railroad lo- 1*5? comotiven.
