FIRE-RANGING SUGGESTIONS. 



All Alberta clergyman, writing not long 

 ago to the Secretary, expressed himself as 

 follows: — 



' I have grieved very often over the dread- 

 ful destruction of timber that we see on 

 every hand. Then we have suffered so se- 

 verely with fire from year to year in the 

 Crow 's Nest Pass, that I am very glad to 

 be brought into touch with the Association. 



' I have long felt that one of the first 

 steps that the Dominion Government should 

 take is to compel all loggers to burn their 

 slash. This would make fire-fighting a very 

 much more simple thing than it is now. 

 It would work no hardship on the lumber- 

 man, as all would fare alike, and the in- 

 creased cost would be borne by the public 

 in the end. 



'Again, from our experience this summer 

 here, I feel that no fire-ranger should be 

 appointed who has to defend property of 

 some one who is heavily interested in only 

 one section of the country, and who, re- 

 ceiving his pay in part from such a person, 

 wi.l naturally give himself to the care of 

 his employer 's timber to a greater extent 

 than he otherwise would do if he were paid 

 entirely b)' the government and under obli- 

 gation to do his very best for the whole 

 community. 



'Again, such men should be appointed not 

 for one or two months of the year, but for 

 the whole summer. He should know very 

 thoroughly the district in which he is locat- 

 ed, be familiar with every point of vantage 

 where a fire could be easily checked, be 

 under obligation to prepare rough maps of 

 the trails and creeks and ridges where fires 

 can be most easily stopped. 



' Further such fire-rangers should have the 

 power to order out any man to assist to put 

 out a fire. 



' I am sure that if active, earnest men 

 could be got for this work many millions 

 of feet of timber would annually be saved 

 to the country. ' 



Much of what is above advocateil is pre- 

 cisely what the Forestry Branch is endeav- 

 oring to carry out, not only in the Rockies, 

 but on all other forests under its jurisdic- 

 tion.
