If the railway "companies had kept the fire protective appli- 'ances on their locomotives in the safe condi- 'tion required by law, Ontario would have been saved 2,000 forest fires and many, many acres of valuable timber since 1817. Neglected camp fires are the causes of one 'out of every nine forest fires--tourists, hunters, fishermen, prospeetors, picnickers, berry pick- ers, etc. Ordinary precaution would have zaved 550 forest fires from this eause in the last four .yeaiz and 350.000 each summer in expense. - Settlers clearing land cause foresi fires by exercise of poor judemeont in seitine out fire to bun slash, iw ans! stumuys, or by reason of indifference ,iowaray, responsibility or else in. straight dciiance of the law.
