FOREST FIRES CAUSED
 s677,816 LOSS IN 1914

Washington:-Fire on the Ma tional Forests of the west in 1914 caused a loss to the Government of not quite 34o,ooo,ooo board feet of merchantable timber, val ued at $3o7,3o5, and of reproduc- ton, or young growth of trees, valued at SIo2 ,4o8, according to statistics just compiled by the Forest Service. There were G. 6o5 fires, of which only I,545 burned over an area of ten acres or more. About v per cent of all the fires did damage of less than SIoo each. In addition to the losses suffered by the govern ment, timber on state and private lands within the forests, totaling 228, 8,oo8, ,ooo board feet and valued at $I75, BOP, was lost. The total area burned over was 6oo,24o acres, of which 3Io,5S5 acres were state and private lands.
 Notwithstanding that it was an exceptionally bad year for fires, on account of high temperatures, heavy winds, and prolonged drought, the average loss per fire was SIo3, as against $I3I in 1911, when there were only about half as many fires. Eighty-hve per cent of the total loss was caused by fires in Idaho, Montana, Ore- gon and Washington, where more than half the timber in all the National Forest stands. Less than one-tenth of one per cent of this timber was effected. Of the G. Cos fires reported, 3,6oI, or 55.o per cent, occurred in these states, and of the oo fires causing losses of more than SIooo each, ST were in this region.
 Lightning was the chief cause, starting 2,o32 fires; campers came next with I,I26, followed closely by railroad locomotives with LILO. lncendiaries lighted 40 and the rest were attributed to brush burn ing, sawmills, etc., or their origin was unknown.
