CALIFORNIA LEADS U. S. IN FOREST FIRES San Francisco:—"The worst forest fire State in the Union." This brief is California's National Forest fire record for 1923, according to report of the U. S. Forest Service headquarters in this city, just made public. More fires were started in the National Forests of the Golden State this season than during any year since 1917. Out of the total of 1,367 fires that occurred, nearly 50 per cent resulted from lighting; the remalnder being due to human carelessness, and were, therefore, preventable. Of the man-caused fires, tobacco smokers started 358 or 50 per cent, and campers 117 or 16 per cent. Railroads, brush-burners, lumbering and incendiariaism accounted for the rest. The total area burned over by fires within the National Forests was 173,-257 acres, of which 145,437 acres were Government land, and 26,820 acres private holdings. The Forest Service spent more than $100,000 in extinguishing these conflagrations. In the Angeles, Santa Barbara and Cleveland National Forests of Southern California there were 191 fires which destroyed the tree and brush growth on 127,430 acres. All but 10,000 acres of this total resulted largely from two big fires in the Santa Barbara National Forest; the other southern forests experiencing an extremely favorable fire season. In northern California the Plumas National Forest with 224 fires holds first place, followed by the Shasta Forest with 154 fires, Lassen Forest, 127 fires, and the Klamath Forest with 103 fires. The Trinity Forest had 26 which destroyed the tree and brush growth on 127,430 acres. All but 10,000 acres of this total resulted largely from two big fires in the Santa Barbara National Forest; the other southern forests experiencing an extremely favorable fire season. In northern California the Plumas National Forest with 224 fires holds first place, followed by the Shasta Forest with 154 fires, Lassen Forest, 127 fires, and the Klamath Forest with 103 fires. The Trinity Forest had 26 incendiary fires, and the Plumas 16; the total of fires on all National Forests due to incendiarism numbering 76. The greatest damage by fire in the northern part of the State occurred on the California Forest where 20,643 acres were swept by flames. The Mono National Forest, on the east slope of the Sierra, had only 6 fires which burned over 33 acres. Eighty-six per cent of all fires that started in the National Forests were extinguished by forest rangers and operators before they had covered an area of more than 10 acres each. Forest officers also handled 152 law enforcement cases against violators of the State and Federal fire laws, and have secured convictions, to date, in 120 cases. "There is little for Californians to be proud of in this record," said District Forester Paul G. Redington. "While there has been a slight decrease in the total number of man-caused fires in the National Forests, there has also been a startling increase in the conflagrations directly chargeable to users of tobacco. The 'tailormade' cigarette and the unextinguished match still continue to be the greatest enemies of our magnificent forests. It is surprising, also, to note the number of fires started by careless campers, especially in view of the intensive educational campaign that has been waged these many years by the Forest Service, State Forester and other agencies throughout the state. "Uncle Sam is a long suffering individual," continued the District Forester, "but there is no question that unless there is a marked change, as regards fires, in the attitude and actions of the public that use the National Forests as a summer vacation land, we shall be obliged to periodically close certain popular recreation forests, where there is a big fire hazard, to all forms of picnic and camp fires. In other localities we may have to place a ban on smoking in the woods, and require visitors who desire to SUPERVISOR'S PROCEEDINGS Map of Tract No. 439 was ordered received by the Board and same referred to the City Engineer of the City of Anaheim. Map of Tract No. 616 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The sum of $1500.00 was deposited for street work. Map of Tract No. 613 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. Deed for right of way from Catherine A. Brooks, et al., in the Fifth Road District, was accepted and declared a public highway. It was ordered that the resignation of Arline Davis, Assistant County Librarian be accepted, to take effect December 15th, 1923. The petition for formation of Garden Grove Sanitary District was presented by Read, Rutan & Seevel, attorneys for petitioners. Protests were presented and filed by Bishop & Wellington and Kaufman & Martell, attorneys for protestants. Hearing on petition and objections was continued to December 18th, 1923, at 2 P.M. It was ordered that names of Streets in Tustin District be changed as follows: Change E Street to South Prospect Avenue; Walnut Way to Nogales Street; and Glenn Street to South Tustin Avenue. The Health Officer was authorized to employ a guard for Placentia District, during the small-pox epidemic. THE REAPPORTIONMENT BUG Many politicians have been bitten by the "reapportionment bug" at various and sundry times. Now comes the State Farm Bureau and proposes an amendment, by virtue of which no county in the state shall have more than five senators. At the bottom of the reapportionment movement is, of course, the desire on the part of the rural population to keep control of the Senate and to prevent the city interests from dominating the interests of the country. It is manifestly unfair to have the problems and affairs A WORLD LAND A great world making necessary use of a common land mon understanding some day join all earth into a comm Such is the logical o J.

In other localities we may have to place a ban on smoking in the woods, and require visitors who desire to build fires to use only designated camping and picnic grounds. The Forest Service now requires that everyone who intends to build a fire in a National Forest secure a campfire permit, on the back of which are specific rules in regard to the use of fire in the woods. But even this system does not give us complete immunity against conflagrations started by careless campers. "The Forest Service would regret exceedingly," said Mr. Redington, "to have to issue orders restricting the public use of our National Forests which cover the greater part of the mountain regions of the State and constitute a most popular playground. But if such action is taken, the public will only have itself to blame. One thing is certain—we have got to reduce the number of man-caused fires, and if educational methods fail to produce the desired results the Government is prepared to take more stringent measures. I am confident however, that with an awakening public sentiment in regard to the needless destruction caused by forest fires, and the unqualified support of the press, educational institutions, commercial organizations, women's clubs and citizens of the state, we shall be able to successfully solve the fire problem which is so vital to the prosperity and well being of California." supplanting the other in proportion to its capabilities, for each has its limitations, he says. Thus, science and industry will ultimately annul war and bring about an era of peace and good will. Many a supposed "diamond in the rough" is found, on being scratched, to be merely a pebble in the rough. NOTICE In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange.
