T. Drummond, LL.D. Forest fires are preventable. They { occur chiefly in August and Septem- | ber. Hot weather and lessened rain | do not furnish the cause, but merely | supply conditions under which tl spread more rapidly, The fires, wit rare excepiions of lighting, are trace- {able to sparks from locomotives or | factories, to railway contractors and | settlers clearing land, to neglected | camp fires, and to the unextinguish- { ed match. In this supposed age of intelligence, when men can foresee | the consequence of their neglect, it is {not right that carelessness should | bring upon the country losses con- | stantly of hundreds of thousands of | dollars, and, in recent cases, to mil { lions of dollars, and yet should go | unpunished. | It may be difficult to prove the ne- | glect, but the moral effect will be {| marked in every railway or settler's | clearing and around every camp fire, {if a law be passed making it an of- |fence punishable with imprisonment to neglect guards over burning stumps |or brushwood, or to leave unsafe | camp fires. The present criminal law { relating to neglect only applies to | such negligence as shows the party | to be reckless or wantonly regardless | of consequences in setting fire to any { forest or tree, and is not of general | application to all property--crown, do- {main or private. Under this law | there can be practically no convie: | tion. What is wanted is a prescribed | course of action for the protection of {all forests, and a penalty if is is not | adopted. | The protection' which the dominion and provincial governments can fur: | nish is by establishing forest wardens in each given number of square miles, similar to what is being done in some parts of Ontario. Their duties, among others, would be to protect {the timber and the fish and game, to s.e that hunters, prospectors and other campers are made aware of and fulfil their obligations, and, in the | case of fires, to secure assistance to prevent their spread. On properties under license to lumbermen, one-half | of the cost of maintaining the forest wardens should by law be made pay- | able by the holder of the license, and | not % to his option, and it should { be the right of the government and not of the licensee, to fix the number {of such forest wardens. Where pro- perties are owned by private indivi- duals or corporations in the midst of the forest, they should pay for this protection in the same way, and the amount he made, like taxes, a first charge on their land. Every settler, lumberman, railway | contractor or railway company when clearing land should under a penalty : Be forbidden to set fire to any standing tree or any stump over féur feet high, or to any stump or brush- wood nearer than twenty-five feet | from any standing tree or trees, | Be compelled, to clear away all { brush» grass and leaves to a distance | of fifteen feet around any stump or | collection of brushwood béfore set- | ting fire to it. | Be tompelled, during August, { tember and October, if not always, to keep persons on watch day and night on the land being cleared until all fires on the clearing are extinguished. i All mills, factories and locomotives operating in wooded or forest coun- try must, under a penalty, have on their smoke stacks, spark protectors {of a mesh to be fixed by the ernment. © Railway companies, and factories operating with power in wooded or forest should, under a penalty, be responsible for protection from of the woods or forests within given distance of their tracks or |buildings.
