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have to be withdrawn from produc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.
