LUMBER INTERESTS HIT HARD.
Millions Of Feet destroyed BY Ke-
cent Fires

Spokane, Wash, Sept. Expert
cruisers in Spokane, who are nov
compiling reports from the burned
districts In Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and Montana, estimate that
the recent forest fires destroyed or
damaged more than $50 600 Gee
feet OF timber in the four states.

would have supplied building ma
terial for the construction of from
5000 to SIS 900 four and five-room
cottages, or enough to house the en-

four states named.
To reduce this timber to CONNER
in the inland empire busy five or
six months, while at the present cost
of cutting and marketing, an army
of skilled and ordinary laborers
would have received $7,50o,o00 in
wages.
