OPERATION. 



Development of New Equipment 



A plan has been inaugurated whereby the supply depot at Ogden, 

 Utah, will be made a clearing house for information regarding experi- 

 ments, conducted throughout the Service, with new features in the way 

 of fire-fighting devices and equipment for other purposes. This scheme, 

 of which details will be issued by the district foresters, is expected to 

 promote progress and at the same time prevent duplication of work 

 along any given line.
