NEW SPRING GOODS ARRIVING DAILY Th omson Broth ers Big Fire Loss on National Forests. Portland, March 24. Forest fires burned over 962,000 acres of Nation al Forest lands in 1917 and caused a loss of $1,358,600 to the Govern ment in timber, forage, and young growth, according to figures received from Washington by District Forest er George H. Cecil. While the loss was larger than for several years past forestry officials say that, considerine the unusually dangerous conditions, it was remarkably light. Protracted drouth and periods of high winds made the conditions they declare, vir tually the same as in 1910. when many persons were burned to death and 25 million dollars' worth of tim ber on the National Forests was des troyed. In addition to the actual loss in timber and forage, the fires of .last year entailed extra expenditures by the Governments $1,121,451. This, it Is pointd out, means that to hold the fires down larse numbers of men have to be withdrawn from produc tive work and much money spent for supplies. At a time like the present, when It is necessary to practice the utmost economy as a war duty, the Forest Service official are emphasiz ing the criminal wastefullness of for est fires that can be prevented from ! starting.
