LAST YEARS
FOREST FIRES

Fire played less havoio In the wood=
lands of the National Forest States last
year than It did in 1905. although the num-
Der of fires was 40 greater. The Depart
ment OF Agriculture has just completed
the statistics The protective value of the
work Of the department is shown in that
% almost eighty per cent. of the fires
were extinguished before as much as i've
acres had been damaged; CD less than one
and one-half acres to the square mile Of
national forest land was burned over; CD
and the amount of damage done to the
burned-over area averaged but SL26 per
acre.
For the twelve months ended December
81 last, there were S,13S fires on the for
ests, 1.1s6 caused by locomotives. 4S1 by
campers; pa by lightning, Isl by brush
burning, 81 by incendiaries, IS by saw
mills and donkey engines, 15S by miscel-
laneous and 75s by unknown agencies. The
area burned over was, in round figures,
800 900 acres. Of which about 1900 were
private lands in national forests, as
against some 100000 acres in 1908 Some
40 100000 board feet Of timber was con-
sumed, of which ss,OOO.OO feet was private
" owned, as against 2So,OOO,OOO in the pre-
vious year. The loss Of timber destroyed
was less than 10000, OF which close TO
1000 was privately owned The loss of
the year before was about s450OOO. Dam
ago done to reproduction and forage
shows a remarkable decrease. less than
$4,000 being the record for 1903 and over
100000 that for 1908.
The largest number of fires occurred in
Idaho-e9l; but the great increase over
1908 in that State-namely 57S- is entirely
attributable to fires in the Coeur d'Alene,
which were extinguished without material

At PRESENT.

Despite the fact that all except the
gallery OF the new addition TO the
Lahin Theaeer was opened Friday
night, there WAS no authority for this
state OF affairs, according to Secretary
L. S. Jones. of the board OF FIRE cem-
Inlssioners.
Mir Jones says Manager Gaieski
has not received any permit, nor has
he even applied to tbs proper source
for one. As u result oT tnls conten-
ton it Ia not improbable that the
city attorney Will be called upon to
decide whether permission to open
public buildings should come from
lsgliaing inspector Beek, or from the
TIRE commissioners.
Manager Galeski made application
to building Inspector Beck for per-
mil; several days ago. The latter OH
cial refused to approve the request
because, he declared. the electric Wiz
ing had not been approved by In
spector Spe1ghts. and the gallery steps
did not comply with the building coae.
other minor objections were also
raised.
