is doubtless greater than can al5o
marketed in any event. and since it
is better for the country that the
timber should be utilized than that It
should go to waste in the woods. the
price at which it will be sold will be
lower than would be asked for the
timber under ordinary circum-
stances. Generally speaking, secre-
tary Wilson does not regard 1T as a
wise public policy to sell off the ma
tional forest timber except when it
is in reasonably good demand, for
the country is sure. TO need the sup
ply badly later on. But with the
fire-killed timber 1t is case OF now
or never, consequently there is an
unusual opening for lumbermen who
are ready to buy national forest
stumpage at bargain prices.
How much of the six billion feet
which was. either killed or burned
up in Montana and northern Idaho
can be salvaged it is of course impos-
sible to predict. If 1t were all total
loss, and II its stumpage value were
put at the average price for which
national forest timber was sold last
year, 1t would be the equivalent OF
money loss of about SIS 100000.
1t is believed that last summers
fires either burned up or killed be-
tween one and two per cent. of the
total stand OF national forest tim
Der. At the present rate of cutting
from the national forests, six billion
feet is equal to twelve years supply;
but 1t is less than one-sixth OF

try. or enough to keep all our Ium-
Der mills busy for something under
two months.

Exponent, October 81, 1910:
Since Republican principles are

There is absolutely no difference

country, into which, on account of
the absence of trails and of forage,
it was almost impossible for forces
OF fire fighters to penetrate. When
the hurricane arose It drove the fire
upon the parties which were hewing
a way towards them, forced these
parties to seek refuge wherever it
could be found. and swept down
upon the forests to where the fires
were up to that time generally we'll
in hand. The extensive losses are
ascribed to the combination OF hur-
ricane and lack OF means to get to
the fires and put them out before
the storm came. On the forests
which We're best equipped for con-
trolling fires the results achieved are
regarded as demonstration of the
efficacy of the flre-fightlng methods
employed, even under highly adverse
natural conditions.

usually happens in the case of big
fires, there will be found to be con-
siderable areas OF living timber with

Government Estimates That
More Than Million Acres
Are Burned.
LOSSES ARE HEAVY
In Montana and Idaho as Re.
ports Sent to Depart
ment Show.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 90
A rough estimate Of the fire loss
upon the national forests in Montana
and northern Idaho, upon which the
officers OF the United States Depart
lnent of Agriculture have been en-.
gagged since the fires were put out,
puts the total amount Of timber
killed or destroyed in this one dis
trict at over six billion board feet
while the area burned over is nut
at over one and one-fourth million
acres.
The heaviest losses were in two
Idaho forests, the Occur d'Alenc
where over three billion board feet
of timber are reported killed or de-
s:royed and owe four hundred and
fifty thousand acres burned over
and the Clearwater, where ono hill
lion feet of timber We're killed or de.
stroyed and over four hundred and
thousand acres burned over. On the
Helena national forest, in Montana
the loss in timber is believed to have
been Ave hundred million feet. on
the Cabinet forest four hundred
million. and on the Lolo forest three
hundred million.
A large part OF the losses on tho
Occur d Alene, Clearwater and Lotto
forests were due to what became
practically one great fire. The burn
is shown on the forest service maps
as extending IN northwestern,
and southeasterly direction from
north of Wallace, Idaho, 10 a point
some thirty miles southwest of Mis-.
soiila, Mont, or nearly one hundred
miles. At its widest point this burr
has width OF about forty miles. bp
