National Forest Fire Damage


gions now mapped as entirely burned

are tentative, for il shas been i'm
possible to examine all the burned
areas thoroughly. AS fast as possible,
however the Forest officers are To-
eating and estimating the bodies of

numbered, if taken in time. There
will be an enormous quantity of fire.
killed timber, both on. the National
Forests and on private lands, to be
disposed Of as soon as possible. since
If not marketed quickly it will not be
worth cutting at all.
The Department of Agriculture will
push vigorously TO dispose OF this fire.
killed timber AS with all other Ma
tional Forest timber. it will be sold on
the stump, to millmen who will lum-
Der the land, paying a set price per
thousand board feet for the timber,
and conforming to whatever regula-
tions are stipulated i'm the interest of
the forest. Pending the disposal Of
this fire-killed timber, future sales Of
green timber from the National For-
ests which were badly burned last
summer will probably be greatly re-
stricted. If not entirely suspended.
Since the amount 10 be disposed Of
is doubtless greater than can be mark
eted in any event, and since it is bet
ter for the country that the timber
should be utilized than that il should
go to waste in the woods, the price
at which it will be sold will be lower
than would he asked for the timber
under ordinary circumstances. Cen
orally speaking. Secretary Wilson does
not regard il as wise public policy
to sell off the National Forest tim
Der except when II is i'm reasonably
good demand, for the country is sure
to need the supply badly later on. But
with the hrc-killed timber it is a case
Of now or never. Consequently there
is an unusual opening for lumbermen
who are ready TO buy National Forest
stumpage at bargain prices.
How much Of the six billion feet
which was either killed or burned up
i'm Montana and northern Idaho can
eventually be salvaged it is of course
impossible to predict. If it were all
total loss, and if its stumpage value
were put at the average price at which
National Forest timber was sold last
year. il would be the equivalent Of
money loss of about fifteen million
dollars.
1t is believed that last summers fires
either burned up or killed between one
and two per cent of the total stand Of
National Forest timber. At the pres
ent rate of cutting from the National
Forests six billion feet Is equal to
twelve years supply; but II is less
than one-sixth OF a single years cut
i'm the entire country, or enough TO
keep all our lumber mills busy for
something under two months.

TO UNITE NOVEMBER 1.
Consolidation of Local Express Offices
Effective on That Date,

The consolidation of the local OFF,
ces of the Western and Wells Fargo
company's express offices in Hancock,
mention of which was first made in
The News a couple of weeks ago. will
go into effect on November 1, with
A. y. Hhoeney. agent of the Western
in charge of the joint office, which
will be located in the present Western
express office on Quincy street. The
consolidation is said to be due to there
being insufficient business to warrant
the maintenance of separate office
forces for both companies, and Mr..
Thoeney's selection to have charge of
the consolidated offices is a tribute to
his efficiency during the time that he
has been in charge of the local bust

a rugh estimate Of the fire loss up
on the National Forests in Montana
and northern Idaho, upon which the
Forest officers of the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture have been engag-
ed since the fires were put out, puts
the total amount of timber killed or
destroyed in this one district at over
six billion board feet, while the area
burned over is put at over 1 IA
million acres.
The heaviest losses were in two
Idaho Forests, the CoeiIr d'Alene,
where over three billion board feet of
timber are reported killed. or destroy

billion feet of timber were killed or
destroyed and 500 thousand acres
burned over. On the Helena National
Forest, in Moutana, tn Gloss Of timber
is believed to have been 500 million
feet, on the Cabinet Forest 400 million
and on, the Lolo Forest 500 million.
A large part of the Iosses on the

shape is very irregular.
1t was really a union of a number Of
separate fires, driven TO fury by the
fierce hurricane of August 26. To the

and materially aided in its growth
from infancy to it's present splen-
did proportions. He has always
been jealous of the success and
good name of the bank and the
celebration of it's 10th anniversary
was an occasion of much JOY and
qualification to him.
On July 10, 1881, j. T. Wettack,
now president of the First Nation
Kal Bank of Coffeyville, Kansas,
was elected Assistant Cashier of
the bank and served it until July
IL, 1892, having been made CASH
Ter on July s, 1889. Jake II. Fisher
of this city was identified with the
hank for a number of years, acting
first as bookkeeper and Latter as
Assistant Cashier, holding the
last named position from July II,
1892 until July 8, 1895. Thomas w.
Lacy was made Cashier on May %,
1898 and served continuously as
such until Dec. 10, 1907. Three
othermen who iare well known cit
liens of Marshall have been con-
nected with the bank at various
times . They are Charles Potter
now a director of the institution,
l.. E. Benedict. and c.. W. Lacy.
Besides the President, James A.
Gordon, the present working force
Of the bank consists of P. c. Ar
mentrout, vice president, w. c.
Gordon Cashier, and Messrs Will
bur Hupp, C. b. Vardeman and j.
II. Brighuwell.
Mr.. Armentrout was elected ac-
tive Vice President on April 2
1894, and has had general charge
of the loan and discount depart
ment of the bank ever since. His
clear judgement, close attention to
the duties of his office, wide ac-
quaintance and affable personality
have been valuable assets to the
bank and no small share of the
credit and prosperity of the in
stitution may be attributed
tohim .
W. c. Gordon was elected CASH
Ter of the Bank on Dec. 20, 1907 to
fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of T. w. Lacy.
w. b. 'Hupp became associated
with the bank on July 9, 1901. AS
exchange and Collection Teller and
general assistant, his work is very
efficient and valuable and his fig
ure behind the counters is a fam
iliar n to all the patrons of the
bank.
c. B. Vardeman was appointed
Bookkeeper of the bank on Jan. IA
1908, coming to this position from
the office of County Collector. He
is a splendid penman, rapid and
correct in all his work and gives
careful attention to the duties n
trusted ITO him.
The Assistant Bookkeeper, JUDD
son r.. Brightwell, began his work
in the bank on March Is, 1910. The
duties of his position were new to
him, but by painstaking endeavor
he has learned rapidly and now
renders most satisfactory ass.s-
tanc> in n" clerical affairs of the
business.
On May II, 1896, the capital stock
was increased from $4,000 to S1OO-
600. This with the surplus fund of
$4,000 affords adequate working
capital and proteoiior for the
trcnsactiop CT the hank business.
About April 1, 1898 the bank
moved into new quarters in its
elegant three story pressed brick
building on the Southeast corner
of the square, erected at a cost
of $41,5
