Devoted to the material anil social n omldina o f the Goqaille Valley particularly and of Coos Comity generally. Subscription, per year,in advanoe, $1.50 Oregon and Washington Flrai- The Bareuu of Forestry 1ms re ceived r report from one of its agents which shows that the dam age caused by forest fires in North western Oregon and Southwestern Washington during September was much greater tbau has been gener- ally supposed. After a caroful trip through the regions devasted by the tire, William T. Cox, who was detailed by tbe bureau for this work, in a conservative estimate, places the damage in Oregon and Washington at $12,768,100. Of this, $3,010,000 is in Oregon, and $8,857,100 in Washington. This includes all loans caused by tbe fires to farm property, sawmills, manufactured lumber, standing timber, etc. This estimate is based on personal observation in tbe burned districts, both in Oregon and Washington, conference with lumbermen, farmers and settlers, and otliBr trustworthy sources of information, Owing to its near ness to mniket, however, much of the damaged timber in tbe burned region* of Oregon will be saved, and the net loss will be smaller than the'ioregoiug figures. In Washington a portion will also bo saved, though a smaller percent age, owing to its being less assess- ible to means of tiansportation. Much o f the area burned over was oorered with virgin forest, mainly the Douglas spruce, cedar and homlock. Besides the great lose of property, 18 persons were killed, and many more injured, and 86 families rendered homeless. Mnoh o f the large and Bmall game in these regions was destroyed. OREGON FIRES. In tiis report the agent of the Bureau of Forestry included not only the loss of life and property but also the causes of fires, the methods used in fighting them, the damage to the soil, and the outlook for reprodnetiou of the forests.
