A Prov. Essay
Prize Winner.
__ From Terrace

Mary EB: Wilson of Kitsumgal-
lum school, Terrace, age 13, won
second prize in the senior grade,
proviricial -essay contest... Her
essay is as follows:—

Our forests have many enemies
but of all these the forest fire is
by far the most destructive.
Every year thousands of feet of
timber are destroved by this men-
race. Alreadv, almost’ twice as
much of the timber as there now
is in British Colambia has been
destroyed.

- The estimated number of fires
that have occurred in the last five
years is seven thousand. eight
hundred and forty eight, Of
these six thousand, seven hund-
red and forty, or eight-six per,
cent, were.due to human care-
lessness, the rest being caused by
lightning. The estimated- dam-

property by fires-in the past five
years is five million dollars. If
this continues évery year, our
taxes must necessarily be in-
creased, the beauty of the forests
destroyed, the revenue decreased
unnecessary suffering caused to
the animals, which inhabit the
forest and consequent Joss to the
fur trade.

There are three different kinds
of fires:—ground, surface and
crown, The ground. fire urns
in the top of the ground and the
surface fire burns along the
ground, Neither of thése fires
The

for it burns in the top of the
trees,

The relative humidity or the
amount ‘of. moisture the air is
capable of holding has more in-
fluence'on fires than anything,
The rapidity of travel depends on
this. When the air is saturated
with moisture the relative humi-
ditv is said to be 100 per cent and
when it is high the rapidity of
the fire is checked. but’ when it
is low it encourages the speed of
the fire whick may rage for days
doing an immense amount of

. damage. te

- Forest fires have a yery "wide
‘effect both on the people and on
the industries, A.greater num-
ber ‘of ,people are. employed by

.| the lumber industry. thar by any

other in British Columbia. For-
eat fires cause ‘the lumber mills
to be closed down and ‘this indir-
ectly effects other industries,
thus causing widespread unem-
ployment. .

“In the: past’ ‘two vears thie” ur

age done to forests and other-

and the revenue for the fur would
be reduced.

Should surface or ground fires
be started they may be prevent-
ed from spreading by beating
them out or throwing dirt over
them. .

The crown fire is the most dif-
fieult to extinguish. The only
method for: this kind of fire i is
back- -firing, , .

We can prevent serious fires by
being careful when in the woods,
also in clearing land, as well as
by promptly reporting early in-
dications to the Forestry depart-
ment.
