with the havoc wrought elsewhere,
the daTcage done to nailonal forests
was exceedingly slight. Had fires
raged within the forests aa they did
outside, they would have destroyed
timber worth 30,000,000- ? enough to
run the forest service for six yeara.
Moreover. It la nractlcaliv ? certain
that most if not all of ?lie damage

The methods by which the govern-'

Constant and systematic patrol by
picked forces of rangers and guards.
The construction of roads, trails,
and telephone lines, which facilitate
the massing' of large flre^flghtlng

The equipment of the forests with
