SEPTEMBER FOREST FIRES. Eugene Weekly Guartb Total Obszcs IrO Oregon and Washington Amounted to $12,767,100. CAMrSILL «BOB-, froprlstors. EUGENE a . ----------- OREGON. a EVENTS OF THE DAY Comprehensive Review of the Import ant Happenings of the Past Week, Presented In Condensed Form, Most Likely to Prove Interesting. Washington, Nov. 2-‘N—The bureau of f<9eHtry, after care! ■futexamination by a field Hgeut, estimates that September forest fires in Oregon and Washington caused a total lose of $ 12,707,100, of which $3,910,000 fell in Oregon. This includes the value of timber, farm property and aawmills and their pro ducts which were destroyed. Owing to its nearne-sto market, however, much of the burned timber in Oregon will lie saved, reducing the total losa as above set forth. It was found that 80 Oregon families were rendered homeless, while 200 others sufMed partial losses. In that state farm property worth $315,000 was burned, and sawmills suffered losses aggregating $149,000. It is estimated that 2,124,000,000 feet of standing timlier went up in rtrn'ke in Oregon, largely fkuiglas fir, spruce, cedar and (Jiemlock. The total loss in timber alone was over $3,000,000. In all, 170,000 acres were burned over, all of which, save 50,000, were well tiin tiered. In Washington 434,000 acres were burned over. The timber was fully as heavy as the OrCgrin timber, and of lietter quality. It is estimated that 5,020,800,000 feet of Douglas spruce aioiie were killed, representing a value of $5.026,800. Other timber to the The value of $725,000 was destroyed, total loss in Cowlitz, Claik and Ska mania counties, where the fires were the most disastrous, was $(>.«00,800, and in the other burned areas, $2,- 256,300. A singular chain of circumstances combined to make the fires so destruc tive. Not only was the summer very dry, but the two preceding summers were wet in May and June, thus $ter- fering with the burning of slashings, and allowing an unusual amount of debris to accumulate. The most direct eaose was carelessness. This is shown distinctly by the fact that practically no dr mage was done in the Cascade lorest reserve, which is patrolled by forest rangers. In many instances the fires smold ered lor considerable |>eriods without attracting attention, and this in the face of the fact thato the past season was one particularly favorable for forest fires. Many blazes started «from the unextinguished camp fires of berry pickers or huntyfs, othert resulte«! from careless burning of slashings, and one was known to have started from loco motive sparks. With the exception of this caie, reasonable precaution on the pait of individuals would have pre vented the loss of millions of dollars. It is the opinion of the bureau, after tracing many ot the tires to their origin, that most of them could have lieen extingujpbed before they became serious.

From there they made their way by Portland, Nov. 19.—The first day’s session of the Oregon Irrigation Asso ciation convention was devoted, for the n^t part to organization, appointment of committees, and election of officers. A few addresses were delivered, but the work of the convention will not com mence until today. The following officers were elected: President, A. H. Devers, of Portland; vice president, W. R. King, of Mal heur; secretary, J. M. Myore, of Port laud; treasurer, W. TT Wright, of Union. Addresses were delivered by Geo. H. Williams, mayor of Portland; J. N. Williamson, representative-elect to con gress and state senator from Crook, Kla math, laike and Wasco counties, ami F. E. Beach, president of tiie Portland board of trade. There are about 275 delegates and visitors in attendance at the sessions. The great enthusiasm that is being shown by the delegates to the irriga tion convention will have its weight toward securiuga liberal apportionment of tiie national irrigation fund for Oregon. It is tiie desire ol the depart ment of the interior, which has the matter in hand, to satisfy public senti ment. Much will de|>eiid upon tiie surveys and the condition of tiie coun try, but tiie department will not think of forcing irrigation upon sections that do not seem to wib I i it. A section so situated as to be easily and econom ically accessible to water, and allows enthusiasm, is probably the one that will be tiie most favored. Lack of en thusiasm may tend to turn ths depart ment against a section, but any amount I of enthusiasm cannot change the natu ral conditions of the country.
