FOREST DAMAGE
BY FIRE IS LESS
Oregon and Washington
Stand Fourth in List
of U. S. Districts.
" Forest fires on the national for
ests of Oregon und Washington,
during the past five years, have
burned over an average of only
70,000 acres per year, according to
a statement just issued by the for
est service. Portland, Oregon. Thin
Is one-fourth of one per cent of the
gross national forest area in these
two states.
A growing spirit of cooperation
on the part of the public, better or
ganization, and quicker action aro
responsible for tills excellent show
ing, local forest officers state. At
the same time they point out that
even 70,000 burned over acres per
year Is too high. From 60 to
70 of forest fires aro man
caused, and campers-smokery head
the list of man-causes. If these
man-caused fires could be entirely
eliminated, the total burned would
be even smaller, it is said.
Fourth In List
Tho North Pacific district, com-i
prising Oregon and Washington, '
stands fourth in the list of acreage
burned on the national forests of
the United States. . j
Tho California district, afflicted
by three bad fires during the per
iod, suffered the heaviest loss, with
an average of 213, 23 :t acres or
1.0X3 of its national forest area
burned over each year. The East
ern district comes next wit'i
0.8li7 and the Northern district,
third with 0.421 .
The worst year. during this per
iod, 'In Oregon and Washington,
was 1H20. when 157,715 acres were
burned over. The heaviest con-
i Colvllle national forest, 2,07(i
