."AfB'fr" f GREAT LOSS Detailed Field Examination Slicv That 700,000,000 Feet of Timber Was Destroyed in Northwest Forest Fires. By, WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. lJeporl.s iiiatioin' based on ileinilcu Held exainui nii'iilo by national forest officers, of tbo lands burned over in the forest i'ires oi' last Miuimcr in Viisliinj,'to,i and Oregon, which have been re- ceived by the United States depart-: incut of agriculture, show that llu national forest timber loss in these, states is about 700,000,000 feet. Tlii.s' is somewhat less than was indicated by the provisional estimates made shortly after the i'ires. The reports also show means of 1 tlio importance, as alland jut returned from a trip up on protecting the forests I Trail Creek, he reports the whole against fires, of the effort which arejt.01mtry a combination of mud, slush being made by the department to open new range to stockmen. Of the national forests in Wash ington and Oregon that on which the fires extended over the greatest area was the Colville, with 100,000 acres burned. The fires on this forest, however, were chiefly surface, which are btiiig'jnade by the department to opeiijlncwl range to stockmen. Of 'this national forests in Wash ington and Oregon, that on which the i'irqs extended over the greatest area8 was the Colville, 'with J(iO,00() acres burned. The i'ires on this for est, however, were, chiefly surface, which are far less destructive than fires which travel through the ciowds of the trees. Jt is considered by the forest officers that the i'ires on this forest point clearly to the value, from the standpoint of tiro preven tion, of proper utilization of the rangee under regulated grn&iii. Large parts of this forest, and nKo of the Chelan, Okanogan, and othei forests, are not used by stock be cause of their inaccessibility, al though a good supply of forage i produced. The dry grass and other herbage both spread the flames and made them fiercer and more destruc tive than they would have been il the land had been grazed. One 1 the objects of national forest admin istration is to oi)en all available range to the fullest use consistent with preservation of the carrying power of the range nnil protection ot forest growth and water supplies. In carrying out this principle, where good grazing grounds are ni present inaccessible to stock the ain of national forest adinnnistralion -to open means of ciiiiiniiiiiiciitiuii. through the construction of drive ways, the building of roads an.' trails etc., to (he cud that stock m.n penetrate wherever forage is to m found and grazing properly be pci niittcd. Through the building of rail roads and the pushing forward n the system ot permanent improw nicnts which has hoeu planned f the national forests of uorthei Washington. Idaho, and .Montana. r is believed that much hitherto iinn-ci' range in these forests will soon be opened to use. The topography ' some of the country is such as tr make it available only from the Can adian side, but American stock own ers are now beginning to work int it from that side. Another ineaiif of opening moie national fore-.' range which is being actively em ployed by the department of agricul ture i the securing of concession from railroads in the form of rate and facilities for shipping stock ii and out of regions where forage i iiuw going to waste. 0WENS RIVER BONDS SOLD TO NEW YORK PARTIES I.OS AN'OKI.KS.
