Loss WI BE Heavy.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The fire con-
ditiOns in the national forests have i'm
proved. A telegram received today by
Associate Forester Potter from AssO-
ciate District Forester SilcOX at Mis-
soula, Mont, In whose jurisdiction the
situation has been most serious, re-
ported that all the fires in his terri
tory were now under control, except
those On the Clearwater and Occur
d'Alene reserves in Idaho. He said that
the federal troops from Forts Harrison
and MissOula, in Montana, were CO.
operating with the range forces in
fighting the flames"
Mr.. SilcOx estimates that about 90
coo acres had been burned over. For
est OFFICIALS here were unable to ap-
proximate the monetary loss with any
degree or accuracy, because they are
without definite information as to the
extent OF the devastation from the
Dufned-oVer area. 1t is thought how
ever that the loss will be very heavy.
