LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATIONS AND 
FIRE PATROL. 
Plans are being formulated for a co-opera- 
i ve system of fire patrol between the Forest 
lervice and the Lumbermen’s Protective Asso- 
iations in Northern Idaho. The associations 
.■presented are the Potlach Timber Association, 
■ learwater Fire Protective Association, Coeur 
1 Alene Timber Protective Association, and the 
end Oreille Timber Protective Association, 
he proposed agreement between the several 
;sociations and the Forest Service for pa- 
idling the territory that conies within the 
oundaries of the National forests in Idaho, 
id the holdings of the several private asso- 
ations was unanimously adopted at a joint 
eeting of the officers, directors and members 
the several associations interested, and is 
bstantially as follows: 
i. The secretary of each association is 
thorized to act with the district forester or 
is representative in establishing co-operative 
■e districts which include National forest and 
sociation lands up to any reasonable or neces- 
'ry limit outside of the National forest, deter- 
ning the acreage of the holdings of each 
rty in each district, and establishing upon the 
;is of such acreage a pro rata share which each 
rty shall pay of all expenditures, in addition 
and not including the salaries and traveling- 
lenses of the men engaged on actual patrol 
rk, which may be incurred in extinguishing 
est fires in that district. 
-. The agreement is to apply only to 
, tional Fotest land and to lands owned by the 
iociations which are included in the co-oper- 
;;e fire districts to be established in the man- 
above prescribed. 
. The Forest Service is to furnish such 
irolmen on these areas as are available under 
.appropriation; and the association will furn- 
i not less. than an equal number for its lands, 
the basis of acreage per man. The super- 
>r of each National forest shall make such 
ingements as are practicable with the local 
! wardens of the association to divide areas 
, patrol and any other arrangements advis- 
; to avoid duplication of work and to make 
' PS tro .l by both parties most economical 
effective. 
I Every member of both patrol forces in the 
operative fire district is to keep a vigilant 
; out for forest fires and exert every effort 
xtinguish them, whether on lands belonging 
lie association or to the Government. The I 
ciation and the Forest Service shall furnish 
i-services of all their available employees to 
« fires which cannot be extinguished by the 
Jar patrol forces of the district. The 
olman on each district is authorized to pur- 
ie tools and supplies, hire temporary men 
pay other expenses necessary to extinguish 
fires in the district. 
Each co-operative district will be placed 
purposes of fire fighting in charge of an 
:r to be agreed upon by the forest super- 
and the secretary of the association. This 
•r will assume charge, when present, of all 
within his district. The first patrolman 
reaches a fire, the officer in charge of the 
ct not being present, shall assume charge 
e fire until such district officer arrives. 
1 The association agrees to give the Forest 
ce the privilege of constructing roads or 
across their holdings, not to exceed four 
n width, for fire protective purposes.

enormous destruction caused by fires 
? the past season has made it imperatively 
^ary that some practical and systematic 
to protect the valuable timberlands in

greement marks a strong progressive
