With this addition there are about of these pumps in use in the State. Each of the pumps is equipped with a 5-gallon can. In addition the State has pur chased eight 4 - cylinder power pumps throwing 50 gallons of water a minute. Altogether there are 45 power pumps in use in the State, with miles of telephone line, 77 lookout towers, and tools to equip men. State Forester Violette is using copper weld wire for some of his telephone work, and finds it satisfactory in service. The light weight of this wire, only 96'pounds to the mile as against 175 pounds for the galvanized wire usually.
