PROTECT OUR FORESTS
URGENT NEED OF LAWS
FOR NORTHWEST.
Measure Covering Matter to BE
introduced at Coming Leg
islatiye Session.

George M. Cornwall, publisher Of the
Oregon Timperman, is making q com
mendable effort to secure the enact
ment at ths forthcoming session of the
future forest fires OF the magnitude,
sucn as those which occurred this fall
Mr.. Cornwall points out that the state
ment Of the immt nse loss suffered win
forcibly call attention TO the need Of
laws to prevent practices which result
In fires. but as yet ne has Dot given out
any statement as 10 the probable con-
tents OF the proposed bill. He says
in letter to The Astorian that Ore
gon's timber Is aItc gether too valuable
TO be destroyed through the careless
ness OF those who are responsible for
forest fires, and incloses the sdbjoin-
ed statement OF the losses this year:
The bureau Of forestry has received
a report from one Of Its agents which
shows that Ehe damage caused by for
est fires In northwestern Oregon and
southwestern Washington during Sep.
tember was much greater than has
been generally supposed. After care
ful trip through the regions devastated
by the fire, William T. Cox, who was
detailed by the bureau for this work,
In conservative estimate, places the
damage in Oregon and Washington at
sl2,7s7. 100. of this. s3.slO.00O is In Ore
gon, and $s.S57.1NO in Washington. This
includes all losses caused by the fires
TO farm property, sawmills, manufac-
tured lumber. standing timber, etc.
This estimate is based on personal OBJ
servation In the burned districts, both
In Oregon and Washington. conferences
with lumbermen, farmers and settlers,
| and other trustworthy sources of in
formation. Owing to its nearness to
market however, much OF the damaged
timber in the burned regions OF Oregon
viii be saved, and the net loss will be
smaller than the foregoing figures. In
Washington portion will also be saw
ed, though a smaller percentage, owing
to It's being less accessible to means Of
transportation.
Much OF the area burned over was
covered with virgin forest, mainly the
Douglas spruce, cedar and hemlock.
Besides the great loss Of property. IS
persons were killed and many more in
jured, and So families rendered home
less Much Of the large and small
game in those regions was destroyed
In his report the agent of the bureau
Of forestry included not enly the loss Of
life and property, but also the causes of
the fires, the methods used in fighting
them. the damage to the SOIL and the
outlook for reproduction Of the forests.
