The nh-t-ciico of future ilnmajjitiK fires will innrk 3S14 us the most successful xenonn, taking condition's into ne count, Hint has ever been experienc ed by i'ire protection mreneics. Oo operntivo patrol has everywhere shown its efficiency ami prepara tions to meet a bail year, which have been jroinj? forward the past two fij vomblc seasons, have helped during the present dangerous year. Com parative absence of cast winds has been the only factor favorable to the work of fire suppression this season, which in nan)' sections is the driest since' weather hnrrai records have been kept. Cot of protection will, of necessity, be high hi most locali ties. Washington had over 100 fires during August. Some lops have been burned, but ery little damage to set tlers has resulted, and only a rainl! amount of green timber has been damaged. The chief danger until rain comes is hiirh winds. Fires started during the reason are being carefully guarded, but nnusnally bad conditions might result in their breaking out a,id causing dnmage as well as heavy expense to fight them. Over 200 regular, association and state wardens are on duly. No rain lias fallen since June, and the woods are extremely dry. Idaho associations hare had unus ually bad and expensive fires to con tend with. Prompt action and the cmployHicnt of a lar-i-e number of fire fighters has, however, prevented gYeatlo&j of green timber. Xol less than 200 fires have been handled during August, the bulk of these hav ing been caused by lightning and ranchers buroip- slashings. Two arrest for failure to secure permit licfore burnings hnve been made. Wilh heavy dews and cooler, weather it is riot expected that the fire-fight ing forces will fail to control nil of the fires. Montana renorls nn cxtremelv dry and dangerous year. A large number of fires have occurred on government nnd private land, necessitating the employment of large crews of fire fighters. Numerous lightning fires have occurred, nnd though nil fires have been promptly detected nnd fought, the season will not be ouo without loss of green timber. Oregon has experienced the driest season ever recorded by the weather bureau. Although patrons were ma terially increased early in the month, over 200 fires have occurred. Prac tically no green timber has been dc stroypdt the fires for the most part being confined to old 1 urns. Loss of logging equipment has been sustnin ' cd in a few cases. Tiie most common cuuso of fires is reported to be camiiers and rancher. burning slash ings. Liriitnine also has been re sponsible for some fies. The coun try is very smoky in some localities, renderiui llio lookouts useless. As a result, reports that hunters were leaving camp fires extinguished nnd because of the Jong JryApelJ,,, Gover nor Ast on August 17 declared n closed season on hunting until fall rains occur. Thero are approxi mately 400 private, state and gov ernment wardens guarding the urea outside tho national forests. Incomplete reports from Califor nia indicate that conditions continue more favorable than Inst year, and that firo losses havo been light.
