SIX BILLION FEET
OF TIMBER BURNED

A rough estimate of the fire loss
upon the national forests In Montana
and northern Idaho, upon which the
forest officers OF the United States
department OF agriculture have been
engaged since the fires were put out,
puts the total amount of timber kill
ed or destroyed in this one district
at over six billion board feet, while
the area burned over is put at over
one and a quarter million acres
Forester Graves believes that, as
usually happens In the case Of big
fires, there will be found to be con

OREGON TRUNK AND DESCHUTES
ARE BOTH WORKING.
HILL GOING TO THE COAST
Fears That Roads Have Adopted n
Policy of Strict Economy
Are Unfounded.

That the stories to the effect that
both the Hill and Hartman lines
are shutting down on construction
work in Oregon are not true is the
positive and emphatic declaration of
G. Misch, of Redmond, central Ore
gon, who is here in the interests of
the proposed county of Deschutes.
"The Oregon Trunk and the Des-
chutes railroads are both actually
working on their lines today and
they have no intention of stopping
work on the projects" said Mr..
Misch today to The Courier.
1T is true that they are not spend
ing money with the abandon they
did when the roads were first start
ed and when the two rival interests
were fighting. At that time It was a
question of who could first get the
rails laid on disputed territory and
cost was not considered As every
one knows, this condition has
changed anG the companies have
reached an understanding as to
rights,of-way and they both have set
tied down to building the roads on
economic and business basis,
ut is exceedingly expensive tc
haul rails and equipment and provi'
sions 100 miles by wagon So In
stead of attempting to lay rails al
the lower ends Of the extensions, the
companies are devoting all theil
energy to building the first part o
the road so that supplies and materi
al may be shipped by rail to this
end of the line.
II have seen much Of the officials
of both roads and know something
of their plans. The people of Granti
