Two convictions in Washington for burning slash without permit from a fire warden, damage amounting to perhaps $5000 to logs and logging equipment in the same state through fires in slashings, but no loss of green timber, is the Pacific northwest record for June, the first month of the 1914 forest fire season, ac cording to bulletins received from several states by the Western Forestry & Conservation Asso ciation. All protective agencies were placed on the alert at the close of June by the prospect; of a dry ing interior wind, but the new forecast service especially for forest fire conditions which is suppliedby the U. S. Weather Bureau soon reassured them that the threatening high pressure in Western Canada had split into two areas and the danger was for a time averted. Neverthe less all patrol force are being rapidly recruited for the season and about 2000 men will be on duty in a few days in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. About 500 patrolmen are employ ed in these states by the timber owners protective associations, nearly 200 by the states and the Government jointly outside the National Forests, and the others by the Forest Service within the National Forests. The British Columbia Government also has 225 men on duty. July hazard to be guarded against, other than from camp fires, is reported to lie chiefly in slash burning to clear land and rights of way and in leaving fires thus started to smoulder in logs and stumps to break out later when the inevitable hot and windy weather arrives. Forest officers announce that state laws regard ing burning without permit and precaution will be enforced rigid ly and also warn summer camp ing parties to be extremely care ful with campfires.
