FOREST FIRE MISSES ARE NOT LARGE FOR SEASON Portland. Ore., Dec. 10.— (A. P.) •^-«Although the last summer was the dryest season for many years and the number of forest fires reported was especially large, the timber losses did not mount in proportion. Forest authorities announced yester­ day that their computations showed that but six-tenths of one per cent of the forest area of the northwest "was burned during the season. Of the 294.000,000 acres of forest land in the northWeet district, ap- proximate'y 1.929.000 were burned over by 12,578 separate fires, it was reported. Extra labor supply and equipment to combat these tires cost >2.133.000. Regular protection and work of the fire fighting agencies during the period amounted to >3,399.600, bringing the total ex­ pended to >5,732,600. J. E. Smith, accompanied by his wife and son, is here from Crescent City for a few days visiting with friends. 40,000 UNITED STATES SOLDIERS ARE LIVING • IN TENTS WITH SUB-ZERO WEATHER EXPECTED On Job He’s Blind are living in converted sheds." A short-sighted policy of neglect has been followed in the maintenance of all army buildings until now. >18.000.000 is needed to repair some of the'past damage, the secre­ tary estimated. "These buildings and Installations have been calculated to have a val­ ue of nearly >400,000.000,” he said. "The money at present expended in keeping them in condition amounts to about >10,000,000 annually, or about 2*4 per cent of their value. Scund commercial practice would require an annual expenditure for upkeep or a little over 5 per cent." Army morale and efficiency Is seriously threatened by the veil housing conditions. Weeks contin­ ues: “Soldiers are, of course, accus­ tomed to hardships, but it Is only natural that their morale and the efficiency of our units suffer from poor living conditions. Jt is ob­ vious that time and effort put into makeshift repairs to utilities in a continuous state of accelerated de­ terioration Interfere with Instruc­ tion programs and training efficien­ cy.”
