FOREST FIRES COSTLY.
Government Experts Says United States
Has Lost Over 81 100000 a Day.

An aggregate loss of 81, 100000
a day during the months when
forest fires have been prevailing
IN various parts of the United
States is estimated by w. j.
Magee, the erosion expert of the
Department of Agriculture.
The forestry bureau, IN a state.
ment says that probably in every
instance the devastating forest
fires might have been prevented
If the various States had provld.
ed an adequate mum Der of men
to patrol the woods and arrest
the fires IN their inclpiency and
If lum bermen and other users OF
the forests had been careful to
dispose of brush after logging so
as to prevent the spread of the
fires.
Exclusive of salaries of forest
officers the work of putting down
the fires on the national forests
during the past year cost the
government $50, 900, which means
protecting approximately l68,-
100000 acres. The statement
says the loss from timber de-
stroyed in 1908 will be larger
than last year, but that it is
doubtful if the exact losses will
ever be known.
