Notwithstanding an extremely

the second of September only a
total of 32.000 acres were burned
over in Oregon against 298,300 acres
during the 1929 season, says Lynn
F. Cronemiller, state forester. The

lowest In 10 years except 1927. Only
185 fires covered more than 10
acres.
The only disastrous fire In grvm
flmber occurred in Deschutes coun
ty, burnln over 5000 acres of mer
chantable yellow pine. This fire
killed 40.000.000 feet of timber.

this can be saved if logged within
a short time.
The loss in logging equipment was
also low, less than $30,000 against
$955,388 in 1929.
Most of the fires were caused by
lightning. Incendiarism ranked first
among the man-made causes, Jack
son and Josephine counties suffer
ing most from this cause. In one
day 70 fires were set Intentionally
