fire makes its own wind to atgreat

extent, and only happens’ during

periods of very dry temperatare.
This fire is also the moat danger-
ous to life, and the most destruc-
tive to the forest.

The first thing a person should
do on discovering a fire is to warn
the nearest forest officer’ then, if
it is asurface fire, he‘should fight
it by going ahead of it to some

‘ natural barrier, such asa stream,

lake, or swamp, and clearing a
ditch or path of all inflammable
matter across the course :of the
fire. He should then back fire
from it on the fire side. If a
ground fire, then follow the front
of the fire and dig it out and
throw it back ori the burned area.
A crown fire can only be fought
according to conditions, and not
until it leaves the tops, after
whieh it is handled as a surface
fire.

These different fires may all be
caused by reflection or lightning,
acting on inflammable matter. It
is nearly certain that at least
eighty-six per cent of all the fires

jare caused by human agencies.

Therefore they can be prevented
toa great extent by proper organ-
ization and care. The best way
to prevent forest fires is to con-

vince the people through the.

forest districts of the dollars they
will get out of the forest for
themselves, for when a person
can see where he can make a dol-
jar out of anvthing he will take
care of it. The loss to the people

by forest fires each year amounts

to about. one- half of our. - entire
eipts. If it were saved
for industrial uses, by supplying

tax receipts.

increased employment ‘and by
naturally increasing the - local
market, it would make for pros-
perity in our province. | The fu-

ture prosperity of British Colum-/

bia depends almost altogether on
the conservation and industrial
development of our timber re-

sources, which would mean to the

province pulp and paper mills,
sawmills, creosoting plants, box
factories, and many other enter-
prises that are of great value to
the people, as well as railroads
and numerous enterprises’ which

are certain to follow such devel-|.

opments. Conserving the forest
keeps our country beautiful,
thereby bringing into our prov-
inee tourists, home-seekers, plea-

sure-seekers, hunters, trappers,’

‘'aind fur farmers, for they all
depend toa great extent.on the
forest for their existence. Also
by conserving our forests we
give to agriculture the uniform
supply of moisture that is desir-

able for erop raising.
