Twelve :: :: THE EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



An inspector was appointed by the Federal District Forester's 

 office to supervise the work of patrolmen employed under the Weeks 

 Act. Mr. H. W. Jackson of the Forest Service was selected for 

 this position and much credit is due Mr. Jackson, as his work has had 

 a tendency to bring about a better co-operation of effort between our- 

 selves, the state and federal organizations. 



The Weather Bureau, under direction of Mr. E. A. Beals, fur- 

 nished us with fire wind forecasts and these were of great assistance 

 in giving time for preparations for any unfavorable weather con- 

 ditions. 



Railroad companies did all that was asked of them and logging 

 concerns did their part in taking care of their own fires and in fur- 

 nishing men whenever one of our rangers called upon them for 

 assistance. 



I wish to thank the State Forester's office for the support and 

 co-operation extended to us and I must not forget to mention our 

 friends of the Forest Service who have worked so harmoniously 

 with us. 



There is a steadily growing sentiment in favor of forest fire pro- 

 tection and a consequently decreasing opposition to the fire laws. 

 This state of the public mind can be maintained by a harmonious 

 co-operation between the forces engaged in this work in a judicious 

 enforcement of the fire laws. 



G. C. JOY, Chief Fire Warden.
