EXPENSE Is TOO heavy
CHIEF FORESTER GRVES ALSO
ASKS THAT PETITION BE
GRANTED.
Navy Department Is Willing to Aid
War Department II It Accedes to
the Request - Officials Deem the
Expense Too Great As It Is Already
Supporting Thirty-Two Companies
Of Soldier Fire Fighters.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Estimating
the cost of the experiment at about
100000, the war department officials
today declined requests to order a
bombardment Of the skies by all its
guns at Puget sound and at the mouth
of the Columbia river in an effort to
bring rain in the burning forest dis
trict of the northwest.
Regard Proposal as Futile.
H. add;tio to the OBJ :ec'io Of cost,
the army officials regard the proposal
as certain to prove futile. The navy
department., tc wh,.h similar re-
quest was made, expressed its nnwi(-
lingness to cooperate with the army
with six or ten inch guns, tie oily
ones at its disposal. The experiment
would have been one Of the most
spectacular ever attempted in the
United States. The officials did not
feel justified in mourning the expense
without specific authorization from
higher authority, particularly in view
of the amount already spent in put
ting thirty-two companies of troops
into the forests to neAt the fires.
" Immense Expense Involved.
TO fire the biggest guns in the
coast artillery costs about $3.50 each,
it has been estimated. To fire the
12-inch mortars costs about SO each.
Pleads for Petition.
In addition to the requests forward
ed TO Washington by Senator Price
and Representative Humphreys,
Chief Forester Graves, now in the
west, telegraphed the war department
during the afternoon, asking that the
petitions be granted If possible.
