COST OF FOREST.F|RE
IN idaho AN!DIM0NTAAAl
Six Billion Board Feet of Lumber,
Valued ut $4,000, 900,
Destroyed.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Six billion
board feet of lumber valued at about
$15.00O.0o0 were destroyed in the recent
forest fire In the national forest fires
in Montana and northern Idaho. The
total area burned over In this one
district was put at 1,25o.0oo acres.
The first rough estimate OF the loss
in the district was completed today by
officials OF the government forest
service.
1t shows that the heaviest losses
We're in two Idaho forests, the Occur
sd'Alcne, where 100000 board feet of
timber was killed or, destroyed ( and
more than 100000 acres burned over,
and the Clearwater. where Sone billion
feet was killed and 100000 acres burn
ed over. Other heavy losses we're
Helena national forest, Montana, 500
million feet; Cabonet forest, 4OO.}mil
lions and Lolo forest 3OO'million feet.
How much of the six billion feet
which was either killed or burned In
Montana and northern Idaho can
eventually be salynged It is of course
impossible to predict. II 1t were all
total loss and II It's stumpagc value
were put at the average price at. which
national forest timber was sold last
year. It would be the equivalent OF u
money loss of about sl5.00O,oo0 1t Is
believed that last summers fires either
burned or killed between and per
cent of the total stand OF forest tim
Der. At the present rate of cutting
from the national forests. six billion
feet Is equal to ~ years supply, but
1t Is less than one-sixth OF single
years cut In the entire country or
enough to keep all lumber mills busy!
FOR something under two months.
