FORESTRY COMMISSIONER. 139 



SOME NOTICES OF THE PRESS DURING THE PAST 

 Ten YEARS. 



The principle on which the present work in Minnesota is based is that pre- 

 vention of fires is the chief remedy. * * This report is one of the most val- 

 uable documents of its kind which has been published. * * It will be widely 

 called for, and gives an object lesson to other parts of the country. Boston 

 Her -aid (1896). 



The annual report of the Chief Fire Warden of Minnesota, Mr. C. C. 

 Andrews, is a document of value to all interested in forestry. As Mr. Andrews 

 says, when people understand the benefits to be derived from a rational manage- 

 ment of our forest lands, then, and not till then, will there be a public sentiment 

 that will make the Fire Warden Law as effective as it should be. The attempt 

 which Minnesota is making to prevent forest and prairie fires is indeed a com- 

 mendable one. Outlook (N. Y.) 



Very notable contribution to the literature of forestry. American Lumber- 

 man. 



Since the establishment of the office the state has been singularly free from 

 destructive fires. Minneapolis Lumberman. 



Apart from the importance of the subject, the masterly way with which it is 

 handled makes this report of 137 pages a gem of its kind. This compilation of 

 data represents an immense amount of painstaking labor, on which an active mind 

 and a strong hand has done first-class service. St. Louis Lumberman. 



The Fifth Annual Report of the Chief Fire Warden of Minnesota is not 

 exactly a magazine, but it has illustrated pages, it deals with nature, and it is full 

 of information about forests in this and other countries. Don't fail to get this 

 report. It is exceedingly valuable. Here is a chance for the schools to become 

 intelligent concerning our Minnesota forests and concerning forestry generally. 

 School Education. 



A most interesting document. * * This movement is full of hope for the 

 future of American forests. Chicago Standard. 



The public mind needs to be educated on the subject, and a report like this 

 will have an excellent effect. Minneapolis Journal. 



State document of great value. Farm, Stock and Home. 



Gives evidence of able and energetic work on his part. Popular Science

This document gives a great deal of valuable information. * * The letters 

 sent by the fire wardens and others throughout Minnesota to their Chief in reply 

 to his circular of inquiries are remarkably intelligent and interesting. American
