DISTRICT FORESTER FRED MORRELL
TELLS HOW TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES
Protection Force Taxed to Prevent Spread of
Flames and Bring Fires Under Control.
The News is in receipt of a very
interesting letter from Fred Morrell,
district forest supervisor at Missoula,
in which he appeals to the press to
co-operate in giving information to
the public to prevent forest fires. We
herewith publish Mr. Morrell's letter
in full and also the six rules laid down
by the forest department which they
hope will assist in the prevention of
In times of stress or grave danger
to life or property the press has al
ways been the foremost factor in
bringing to the attention of the pub
grows daily more critical it is but
natural that we who are charged with
the responsibility of the control of
those fires should turn to the press
for help.
Most of the fires that have started
so far this year in this district have
been caused by lightning. At this
time the protection forces are taxed
to the utmost to prevent the spread
of these fires into conflagrations of
disastrous proportions. At this writ
ing many of these fires are still burn
ing uncontrolled, although every ef- \
fort is being made to bring them under >
control at the earliest possible time.
Even should the weather take a favor
able turn it will be necessary to guard
and patrol these fires for a consider- j
If any considerable nuis
her of man-caused fires should occur,
the situation might easily get out of
hand. Especially is this likely if sud
den high winds spring up, thereby
creating conflagrations such as have
occurred in bad fire years heretofore,
Whatever can l?e done to reach and
impress every individual should be
done at this time in the interest of
the common good. People do not in
tentionaliy start fires. What is need
ed, I think, is to get them to under
stand how to put out a camp fire, a.
match or a cigarette. They throw the
remainder of the coffee or dish water
on their camp fires and call it good,
If we can get them into the habit of
using lots of water and stirring up
get drenched, there will be fewer
camp fires escaping. Certain little
habits such as breaking a match or
rolling it between the fingers before
throwing it away, scraping away the
campers starting fires.

the ground, would mean the difference
between the present ratio of some
thing like 25 per cent campers* and
smokers' fires and the very small per
centage which we must expect to have
resulting from those causes. In times
of extreme danger people should be
discouraged from going into the woods
both for their own safety and for the
Protection of property.

situation has become, believing that

Daily bulletins are being issued by
this office covering progress on exist
ing fires, new fires breaking out, and
other facts having to do with the
situation. Information is also being
broadcasted every evening at 9 p. m.
by radio from K U O M at the Uni
versity of Montana. I sincerely hope
that this information is of value to
you in your news work, and that you
will help as in the past.
The attached copy of the six rules
for prevention of fire in the forests
may be of interest to you.
Six Rules for Prevention of Fire
in the Forests
1. Matches.—Be sure your match is
out. Break it in two before you throw
it away. j
2. Tobacco,—Be certain that pipe
ashes and cigar or cigarette stubs are
dead before throwing them away.
Never throw them into brush, leaves
or needles. ;
3. Making Camp.—Before building
a fire scrape away all infiamable ma
terial from a spot 6 feet in diameter.
Dig a hole in the center and in it
build your camp fire. Keep it small,
Never build a fire against trees, logs,
or near brush.
4. Breaking Camp.—Never break
camp until your fire is out—dead out.
5- Brush Burning. — Never burn
slash or brush in windy weather or
while there is the slightest danger of
the fire getting away.
6- How to Put Out a Camp Fire.—
Stir the coals while drowning with
both sides, wet ground around the fire.
If water can not be had stir in dirt
instead and tread down until packed
tight over and around the fire. Be
sure the last spark is dead. •

tive co-operation of the people of
Carbon county in making this years
exhibit one of the very best.
Carbon county produces a very wide
variety of crops, and every effort will
be made to see that all varieties are
adequately displayed in order to give
the people visiting the fair a good
idea of the diversity of crops raised,
quantity of yield and other facts, that
will place Carbon county in its place
as one of the greatest producing coun-j
ties of the entire state. |
This committee, of course, cannot

county, but is asking all the people
that have fancy grains, grasses, vege
