FOREST FIRES.

1t has been estimated by the
Forestry Bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the re-
cent forests conhagrations which
took place in Montana and Idaho
in the national forests have
killed or destroyed over six bill
lion board feet of timber.
OF this heavy loss the heaviest
was probably in the Idaho forests,
where over three billion board
feet Of timber has been reported
killed or DESTROYED, with a burned
over district of more than 450, 900
acres.
AT the present rate Of cutting
from the national forests, the six
billion feet is equal to about
twelve years supply; but it is less
than one-sixth of a single years
cut in the whole country, or
enough to keep all our lumber
mills busy for something like two
months. 1t is estimated that the
