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.
