BLACK FRIDAY OF NORTHWEST
stWhen Lives Were Lost in the Burn
u ing Forests.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Beiated storms, bringing. within the
past fortnight, a considerable downpour
OF rain, have ended for this season the
terrible fires which annually scourge the
forests of the far Northwest and which
this year have ragged with fury and
devastated a greater area than ever be-
xore. But before the rains came the fires
had practically consumed everything IN
Sheir pathway until stopped by the larger
water courses and at the edges OF the
great mountain forests where the melt
ing SHOWS of summer maintain perpetual
0ampness.
Summer after summer since the forests
ut the Northwest were first invaded by
The white hunter, prospector and timber
cruiser. the fires have been started and
have spread to alarming proportions,
causing much damage and heavy proper
4y loss. The work of the flames this year.
howeveF. is the most appalling. Forty
hives are known to have been lost, and no
pns can tell how many have persisted in
the farther recesses of the woods: hum
klreds have had their homes swept away
by the flames. and the owners OF timber
hands and logging camps and saw mills
have scarcely begun to approximate In
dollars and cents the extent of their
heavy losses.
In the States of Washington and Ore
@on the timber lands owned by lumber
men have an acreage exceeding 100000.
According to the statistics prepared by
DIR. Henry Gannett. geographer of the
United States Geological Survey. the
lands held by lumbermen at the time of
gathering reports for the last census
amounted In these two States, to 2,010.612
acres, bearing an estimated total of A.
o53 800, 900 feet of merchantable timber and
representing an invested capital of $10.-
ss1.22s.
~ 1t is these people who have suffered
most, so far as property loss Is concerned.
by this years fires Since the census sta
tistics were assembled the holdings of
timber acreage have increased by leaps
and bounds; capital has been poured out
freely in the acquisition of great areas.
in most of which active operations for the
production of lumber have been begun
within the past two years.
Throughout the western part of these
awo States, particularly in the southwest
Of washington and northwest of Oregon.
the fires have this year attained their
greatest violence. Through the whole Of
fhe heavily wooded lands lying between
the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific
Ocean the flames haev ragged with unpre-
pedented fury.
/; AEia towns have been laid in ruins, hun
nreds Of logging camps have been swept
put Of existence; and the last in sequence
,ps<hs most pitiful loss of all-is that OF
1eha small farmer, who follows the END of
Anaiogging operations by the purchase of
eNhe land for his home. 1t is these last
tvfin have lost their all. and from among
&hsss the list of known dead is made up.

THOUGHTS.

Ivan Pann in Christian Endeavor World.
IT'S the empty house that has it's blinds
always Shut The exclusive display by
their exclusiveness only their emptiness.
Who sharpens his wit against others is
only sharpening their memory against
himself.
The surest way to win mems hearts is
by frankness and sincerity, but also the
surest way to lose them.
The possession of what we like is COM
arativey inexpensive; it is the possess
sion of what others like that is SO expen-
sive.
The tailor makes the garment out Of
the whole piece; the artist makes it even
out Of fragments.
TO make us happy a man must surely
be good; to make us miserable he need
not be bad.
A mans best qualities are those which.
like birds nests, are hid from view In
summer, but easily beholden in winter.
