MUCH TIMBER BURNED.

A rough estimate of the fire loss upon
the National Forests in Montana and
northern Idaho. upon which the forest
'fflcers of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture have been engaged since the fires
we're put out puts the total amount OF
imber killed or destroyed In this one dis
trict at over six billion board feet, while
he area burned over is put at over one
and one-fourth million acres.
The heaviest losses were In two Idaho
forests, the Occur d'Alene. where over
three billion board feet of timber are re-
ported killed or destroyed and over four
hundred and fifty thousand acres burned
over, and the Clearwater. where one bill
lion feet of timber was killed or de-
stroyed and three hundred thousand acres
burned over. on the Helena National
Forest in Montana. the loss in timber Is
believed TO have been five hundred mil
lion feet, on the Cabinet Forest four hun
dred million. and on the Lolo Forest three
hundred million.
