FIRE SEASON OF 1 91 4 li
No Rain Fell for 74 Days
which Beats the Record by
, Nearly Tliree Weeks
The fire scnsun of lM l, when no ruin
, fell for a period of 74 dnys, exceeding
ony previous drought period by 17
days in 43 years, was one of the driest
ever experienced in Oregon, according
to the report of iStute Forester Elliott.
Despite the extremely dangerous char
acter of tho scuson, owing to the well
organized and trained corps of forest
patrolmen, the loss of green timber re
uniting from a total of 1,04 fires
which occurred in tho state forests out
sido of tho national resorvVs was very
light, a total of ii,2!)7,'.,.,iO board feet
of utanding timber, valued at 2(l,44ii.
75 being killed, as compared to the Ben
son of 1010, when I,H40,0I)7 worth 'of
taxable forest property was destroyed,
although the fire hazard of tho two
seasons wus pnuticully the sume.
As a considerable nnirAint of the tim
ber that wus killed during tho past sea
son is located in the vicinity of oper
ating camps, and will be logged off be
fore decay sets in, the actual money
loss will probably be loss than 4t20,U(lU.
Tho damage to logs and logging equip
ment amounted to $45,107, or over $Ut,
000 nioro than the loss of stnnding tint
bcr. The difference between the tim
ber losses of the firs seasons of 1010
and 1014, Mr. Elliott states, which is
over $1,(100,000, ran be taken as the
amount of taxable wealth snved be
cmuso of the state's ond timber own
ers' activities in forest protection
work.
"Tho greatest good accomplished
through patrol is to catch fires before
they get thoroughly started, and to
educate people not to set them," says
forester Elliott. "If a fire once gains
headway, no matter how good luachin
fry may be available to fight It, heavy
expense nnd possibilities of loss of tim
ber are always present. If, however,
tho number of largo fires can be kept
flown, It is generally possible to handle
these without great trouble,
'A review of the 'season's record
(hows plainly that through good pa
trol chances of fire loss are reduced
to the minimum. It is believed that
from now on in Oregon only the most
unusual combination of conditions will
result In any considerable loss of tim
ber, provided further perfection of pre
vention mensures is vigorously carried
forward. The season has 'ceiUninly
demomtrnted, among other things, that
tale pnrticipntlnn is s good financial
investment. The nmount of taxable
property snved from destruction the
past season would certainly warrant a
RTcnter state appropriation than is now
available for this work.
"Under existing conditions the tim
ber owners benr the bulk of the fire
fighting expenses, Out of nn expendi
ture of $HI,t'l'J.nH for this purpose, the
late spent only $:im.37, nnd this for
Mtinguishing fires chiefly in agricul
tural districts from which no patrol as
sessment rould be collected."
Of the 1,254 fires which occurred
luring the past season, which exceeds
by ISO the number reported for the
ensons of KU1, 1012 nod 11114 com
bined, the origin whs ascribed to the
following causes:
Unknown 278
Incendiary 22S
Homing of slash, lug piles, etc 221
Lightning ' 1)7
Hunters uo
Campers Nil
Locomotives OS
Smokers oil
Logging engines 52
Stockmen , 20
Miscellaneous H
Trails, Telephone EsUnsion Work.
"It. has long been recognized, Hint
just as in a city, every device is used
to enable firemen to speedily reach n
burning building, so in forest firo pro
tection effort, the sooner word can be
hail of u fire and tho better facilities
are for quickly reaching the scene, the
greater are the chances for extinguish
ing it at small cost and without loss
of property.
"Hump counties already huvo a good
trail system and feel that, little more
work of this kind is needed. Others
nro well supplied with telephone lines,
but on the whole there is room for a
great deal of improvement work before
lines of communication arc in satisfac
tory shape. This work, moreover,
should be carried on with n, view to the
probable needjit some time of connect
ing such improvements in the various
districts so that in ease of need one
section en n be of assistance to unother.
"Tho need for a thorough system of
trails, telephone lines nnd lookout sta
tions, as well us cabins for patrolmen
nnd often enclosed pastures for saddle
stock, is too well appieeiuted to re
quire explanation. Private owners have
inado a good start, the state is helping
in so far as it can, nnd time alone is
requited to complete the necessary im
provement." CRITICAL MOMfNTS.

Evidence Shows Forests and
Fields Are Destroyed by
Sulphurous Fumes
Sacramento, fill., Dee. 20. The re
port, made by State investigators of
conditions in tho smelter regions in
Shasta and Calaveras counties, to Gov.
ernor Johonsou, shows that land owners
hi the vicinity of the plans have just
cause for complaint and damage suits.
The legislature delegated Slate Vet
erinarian Charles Kcane, State Horti
culturist A. J. Cook and Dr. Donald II.
Carrie, secretary of the state board of
health to make an investigation. They
were assisted by university professors.
" We are thoroughly convinced that
a very obvious and substantial loss to
property owners is sustained because of
the presence of tho smelters at. Kennett
and Camp Seco," say the investigators
In enumerating the losses they men
tion the destroying of pasturage, forest
trees, orchards, cereals and garden
truck, und. the depreciation in value of
farm property.
Afany damage suits have been In
stituted by property owners. The of
ficials of the smelters sought to show
that other causes limy huvo been
responsible for tho destruction but tho
Investigators say that, there is every
evidence that the bleaching of foliage,
grass and trees ip due entirely to the
smelters.
A hill west of Hediling Is described ns
a bleuk picture of death and destruc
tion. "Few plants escape the sul
phurous fumes," says the report, "aiuli
the destruction Is of H very different j
type than that caused by insects or
fungi." ' I
The fact that some portions of vcge-
tiition have escuped is attributed to.
The Money
Santa Brought
Foxy old Santa Claus often has a trick of giv
ing us money and letting us choose our own
gifts.
Naturally we want to invest it in something
that has the Yuletidc spirit about it.
Perhaps we choose a luxury, or something
substantial.
Perhaps we are undecided.
In just such an. emergency the advertising
columns of The Journal are of invaluable ser-
ice.
The storekeepers who make them are all re
liable, service-giving men.
