The pump was a grand ; This particular type of apparatus and manner of employing same is a decided departure from anything that has been previously attempted, and so far as the writer is able to ascertain no forest organization in Canada or the United States have yet brought forward a portable pumping appar- atus, that for portability, compact- ness and efficiency, can approach the apparatus under discussion. The field in which the internal combustion engine can be utilized in connecting it up to pumping appar- atus for use in the forest is very wide and in working out a scheme of forest fire protection in which such pump- ing apparatus is proposed to be used, is not limited by any means to the portable units under discussion. Larg- er outfits can be used, pumping more water per given time, at a greater pressure and through a longer length of hose line. Such outfits would be less portable and in consequence could only be used along the main routes of travel such as roads, rail- ways, lakes and rivers. To secure this, a different type of pump and method of connecting same up to the engine will have to be adopted. This scheme is already under development and it is proposed to employ larger and heavier outfits along valley bot- toms and by using three to four thou- sand feet of hose deliver water back into the higher territory and then use the present lighter and more port- able units from that point on into the rougher ground behind. Fires on St. Maurice In the territory of the St Maurice Forest Protective Association in 1916, 200 fires for the season were caused as f
