FOREST FIRES ARE FEARED IH
THE NORTHWEST THIS SEASON
Portland, June 6. While the early
-forest fires reported in May were
jKostiy in slashings and without loss,
Jane opens the commonly-recognized
f 'm season with indications of a
-dangerous year that demands mora
-than nsual precaution, according to
traDctins received today by the
"Western Forestry & Conservation
-Association from all states in the
( -northwest. Much less than
.the nsual amount of snow remains
the mountains and in some regions
there have already been several
eels of dry weather broken only by
one short rain. Atmospheric con
33Ctu seem to be conducive to
ifreqncnt dry interior winds, requiring
extraordinary precaution in firing
sabhings. Patrols are already in
tSie field and being rapidly recruited
ita their full strength. Unless there
shall be rain in June trouble is ex
lpecfed, but the protective organi
sation to meet it will be better than
5a any past year. . .
Washington has fully 100 fires in
Slay, some of them receiving much
fmblicity, but practically all were
slashing fires more useful than
otherwise. About 75 per cent of
loggers' slashings are thus cleaned
up, removing' danger later. A little
green timber killed by a fire in Ceal
lam county resulted from road-build
ers' carelessness, with some logs and
equipment burned in a Chehalis
county slashing, comprise the only
actual damage. The state has county
wardens on duty and is very active
in educational workv The . Wash
ington Forest Fire Association has
80 men in the field. Road builders'
debris now constitutes the worst
hi.zard.
Idaho reports fairly frequent rains
and no fires yet. On the other hand,
an early spring and dense vegetation
make dry weather more to be feared
than usual. Contrary to Washing
ton, rigTits of way are in better con
dition than slashing especially those
of settlers and small loggers. Patrol
forces are cleaning up fire-traps and
working on trail and telephone sys
tems. '
Montana conditions are much like
those of Idaho. There have been no
important fires.
- Oregon had three or four small

slash fires with no damage. The
slate forester urges continuation of
purposeful slash burning, under per
mit and with full precaution. He has
alout 20 men in the field. Private
patrol associations also began work
in May and will have 350 men on
duty by July 1.
Throughout the northwest, co- op
eration between private, state and
federal forces is more complete than
in past years. The Weeks law fund,
granted by Congress to states with
efficient systems, has again given
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana important financial assistance.
Much attention is being given by all
agencies to lookout stations and tele,
phone ; extensions. In short, all re
port excellent preparations to meet
a bad year but urge earnest co-operation
by those who use fire in the
woods. Careful handling of slash
ings by settlers, road crews and log
gers is agreed to be the most urgent
need at this stage of the season.
