ment for many men. Probably not
less than $4,000 would thus. have
been expended right here in our
own community. Nor is this all.
The lumber produced from this
timber, We will say, sells for an
average figure of $l5 per thousand
feet, Or q total of $4,000. OF
course the company handling it
gets profit, let us say of 100000
But with this, taken out and the
$4,000 stumpage and the other
$4,000 paid the lum berjack, there
is still $4,000 -unaccounted for.
Who gets this? Well, there is the
river driver, the sawmill man, The
planning mill man, the railroad
man and a hundred others, all of
whom suffer loss in every forest
fire that occurs, whether. on:public
land or private. Fin no instance is
the loss to the timber owner,
whether the government or lum-
Der company. more than a very
small fraction of the loss to the
community, the laboring man in
particular. :: !: -

the danger of forest fires becomes
acute, tits. well for every citizen to
keepin mind that, the timber of

its most valuable resources, that
destruction Of timber by forest fires
means a personal loss to every in

The, state of Idaho has recently
passed law. requiring all.opera-
tors who cut timber to pile and
burn the slash products under the
supervision of the .wardens. The
government, in its timber sales, has
always required that this be done.
By this means what is undoubtedly
the most dangerous menace to
standing timber and the most pro-
life source Of disastrous fires will
be eliminated.
In the state OF Washington the
state fire warden, Mr.. Welty, has
repeatedly pointed out the neces-

road. Aid. Estey was appointed COM
mittee of one to see that proper notices
were posted. No reply having been re-
ceived by the city in response to second
request for gates at Ellsworth Falls, the
city clerk was instructed by the vote OF the
BOARD to apply to the State railroad com
missioners, as provided by statute. Mayor
Simonton called attention to the nom
enforcement of the city ordinance regard
ing tenders on roofs to prevent snow
slides, also the ordinance against water
from caves or cutters discharging on
sidewalks, and the street commissioner
was instructed to see that the ordinances
were enforced. The mayor also suggested
that a move be made toward more
systematic system of bookkeeping for
the city, and the advisability OF investi-
eating systems in use in other cities.
Aid. Jordan suggested while changes were
being made in the city charter, it mig bit be
well to inquire into the sxnediency OF
changing the date of the municipal cleo
tion to December, but no action to this
effect was taken.
