Last Years Forest Losses - Chief
Forester Henry S. Graves has issued
a tatement on timber losses for the
year 1913 caused by forest fires. AL
though 1920 fires were reported for
the year, nearly twice as many as in
1912, the damage done and the cost
OF the fire fighting were kept down
to a minimum.
The aggregate losses in timber, the
sttement said. are estimated at nearly
5s,000,000 board feet. valued at about
$4,000 and the damage to the young
growth is estimated at $4,000, max
ing a total of about $4,000. About
is per cent of this loss was incurred
on private lands within the forests,
where IS per cent of the fires had
j their origin.
Electric storms which swept Mon
tana after the long dry spell. Graves
said, were responsible for large loss

in cash and an equal amount in mer-
chandise for the corn-growing con-
test Prizes will be awarded those
growing the largest number of bush
els an acre, also for those who grow
the most perfect corn. 1t is thought
that some 200 farmers will enter this
contest. The seed corn will be fur

grange
Butter and Eggs DOwn-Butter anC
egg prices are declining, as is to b'
expected at this time of year. No
only is the output or butter in Ore
gon increasing, but the cheapness o
: California butter is causing the south
ern product to be sent here in large
quantities and this is forcing price
downward. An association of inter
Tor creameries. which maintains
selling depot in Portland, has an
nounced a cut in price to 80 cent
wholesale. and this probably vii
: cause the city creameries to reduc
their prices to the same level.
