You can scarcely stop it.
Although July has hardly begun. dry
80 ring followed by hot weather has result
cd in terrific forest fires throughout the
coast states. The tinder-like condition OF
the woods so early in the season threatens
US with one of the worst fire years IN his
tory. With the situation already extreme
" serious, and the usually dry months yet
10 come, the Pacific Northwest faces great
danger of uncomfortable sweeping fires.
before which all effort win be poxerless to
prevent great destruction Of resources it
not Of human lives. 1t is time to appeal
to every citizen for vigilence to avert dis
aster and distress to the community.
In these words the Western Forestry &
Conservation Association begins state
ment issued today as the result Of reports
upon the unusually critical forest fire situ-
alton received from its subsidiary fire hight
ing organizations throughout the North
western states. All authorities agree that
the unusually early arrival Of dangerous
condinons warrants great apprehension.
Great destruction has already resulted IN
Montana. Idaho and California. In Ore.
gon and Washington many fires have ero
ken out and. although mos. have been sue,
cessfully handled. every day is increasing
the danger Of conditions which prevent
control.
The Association calls attention to ths
fac, that very destructive forest fires coms
in cycles. due to abnormal years. While
| in ordinary seasons countless fires smoul
der without serious effect and even thu
more important ones can usually be check
ed by sufficient effort, every few year
comes a combination Of protrac,ed DIR,
