Government Figures Ac Also
Kednces Fire Risk.
The District Forester in thlB city
reports that there has been an In
crease of more than 64.000,000 board
feet of timber cut in sales on the Na
tional forests in Washington, Oregon
and Alaska during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1914, over the previous
fiscal year.
The total amount cut in timber sales
during the fiscal year was 179,551,000
board feet and the average price re
ceived for this timber was 1.78 Pr
thousand board feet. In addition 14,
624,000 board feet of timber Was given
away free of charge to settlers living
in and near the National forests.
Fuel Given to Settler..
During the same period a total of
271.456.000 board feet of timber was
sold in 1011 timber sales, but more
than 93 per cent of these sales Involved
$100 worth of timber or less, and were
made to those who are dependent upon
the National forests for their supply
of timber for fuel and other, domestic
uses.
On 11 of the National forests more
timber was given away to needy set
tlers and homesteaders than was sold.
Approximately 74 per cent of the ma
terial given away consisted of dead
timber. In this manner, not only were
the needs of the local inhabitants sup
plied, but the fire danger was reduced
on account of the removal of this in
flammable material.
The largest amount of timber cut
on any one National forest was 42,056,
000 board feet on the Tongass National
forest in Alaska. The largest amount
sold on any one forest during the last

on the Olympic National forest, In

National forests in Oregon, Washing
ton and Alaska during the last fiscal
year was $305,285.59. Twenty-five per

from the same forests Is given to the
counties in which they are situated, to
be used for schools and roads, and an
additional 10 per cent is expended by

Improvement of roads and trails, pri
marily for the benefit of the settlers
and homesteaders within the forests.
