The total number of fires dur ing the season of 1914 which threatened the National Forests and had to be handled by the protective organization of the Forest Service were 6,112, or 1,000 more than in 1910. Of this 6,112 fires, 81 per cent were ex tinguished before they had cov ered 10 acres. The nercenlace that burned over more than 10 saved in Idaho and Montana alone afroa omallor than in an ! atrffrGCateS OVer $59,000,000.

In the central and southern Rocky Mountains conditions were more normal, and only 15 per cent of the total num ber of fires occurred in this region. A preliminary estimate shows that the total loss of merchant able timber will probably not ex ceed $400,000. In 1910 the cor responding estimate was nearly $15,000,000, although later esti mates materially reduced this amount. ' It is estimated that the value of the timber threatened and saved at $24,000,000. This does not include the value of non merchantable timber, young growth on about five million acres of land, or several million dollars worth of ranch and other private property which lay in the path of the threatening conflagrations. The figures given represent the number of fires reported up to December 1. When the complete figures are in, it is expected that they will add large amounts to the total value of property threatened and saved. SWOPE, Attorney at Law and Notary Public.
