Comprehensive Review of the Import­

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.

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.
