FOREST fires have begun their
work of destruction in the fine
timber belts of Washington.
Last year the timber destroyed
by the burning element, in that
state, amounted to many mil
lions If dollars. The immence
amount OF timber which is des-
troyed by fire each year, throu-
ghout the country, is something
amazing to contemplate, and it
would appear that pIecaution-
airy measures are inadequate or
entirely lacking. Forest fires
usually commence at points re.
mote from habitations OF man,
and it appears reasonable to be
lieve that if the forests were reg
ularly patrolled by guards, at
the expense OF q few thousand
dollars per year, most fires
which destroy millions of dollars
worth Of timber could be discov-
cred and checked before doing
much damage. Our timber is
one OF our most valuable re-
sources, and more active steps
should be taken by the govern
ment and state legislatures to
preserve it.

Rv C. ". Lee & Go.
 New York, March 31.-There were stop loss orders encountered this morning. and prices declined rapidly. August went down without any support to 9.17: then after everyone seemed to have sold out. shorts tried to cover and August shot up to 9.30 This was quite to be expected. We will have this sort of thing for weeks to come. The price will react easily. As long as the May people hold out, a drop of 90 to 40 points Is all that can be ex- pected before the rally comes. There is no cotton here of any account and as long as spot markets hold firm there Is every incentive for shorts to run when the pool buys For while the tendency of the market should be towards a grad ually lower level.
 Factors are against an advance, but the pool will attempt to prevent a bad break, and for this reason August Is to be sold on bulges only. AS we have n- sisted for some time this is a market to avoid on a break. Everything pointed to a decline this morning, and common sense leads one to take In short cotton. On a bulge to oyer 930 tomorrow morning, we would let August go again for a break. Receipts are getting larger and the weather should bring about new crop talk But the position is strong and a short seller in May can easily find no cot ton to deliver when the time comes.
 The market Is in shape to bull easily when the May people buy. and for this reason we would sell only on the bulges
