FIRE LOSS ENORMOUS
EXPENSE OF PROTECTION ELEVEN
TIMES AS GREAT LAST YEAR
AS IN 1918 IN WHITE PINE
DISTRICTS
Many Fires We're of Incendiary Origin
Three Lives We're Lost and
Many Were Injured

The annual report of the Potlatch
Timber Protective association, of
which the state of Idaho is a mem
ber, having 3S,320 acres of timber
land in the district patrolled by the
association, has recently been issued
and shows the losses in the Potlatch
district during the year 1914 will
amount to 6988 acres of merchant
able timber and containing 110,310,-
600 feet, board measure, of lumber.
In addition to the loss of the stand
ing timber, there were 100000 feet
of logs burned, $4,000 feet of logging
cable several cars, railroad track, the
homes of fourteen families and mis-
cellaneous articles to the value of
about $4,000 were. destroyed.
The total revenue area within the
Potlatch districts is 323,882 acres and
the total acreage patrolled amounted
to 900 acres. Three men were
killed and a number injured in fight
ing the fires and the total expense
to the association was $100,217.41, {,
which is more than eleven times great
er than the expense in 1913. The as
sessment per acre amount to 25A
cents.
During the fires last summer there
were frequent rumors that the fires
were of incendiary origin and in
making his report to the association,
President A. w. Laird has this to say
in respect to incendiarism:
During the late spring and early
summer, threats and warnings were
found printed on the ends of logs
and along the roads, trails and logging
spurs.
After a number of small fires had
been discovered and put out a man
was found who had been making in
cendiary talks to the men in one of
the camps of the POtlatch Lumber
nearby. He was promptly
discharged. s
"a few days later he and his part.
ner were found working at anothe-'
camp a few. miles distant. He was
making infammatory speeches, ad-
vising the men to set fire to the tim

WARNING TO PARENTS
Children Should Not Coast on Side
walks

Parents are requested to forbid their
children to coast on the sidewalks
and to see that their children obey
them. Chief Grant Robbins is of the
opinion that parents do not realize
how very great Is the danger attendant
upon this practice or. they would in
struct their children more carefully.
In order that such frightful acci-
dent as occurred in Pullman the other
night may be avoided in Moscow, more
precautions, the chief says, should be
taken at once by coasters.

RAILROADS OF WEST
SEEKING INCREASES
Hearings in Passenger Fares
Cases Are Begun in Chi
CagO Tuesday.

CHICAGO. July 6.-The great rail-
road systems of the west today began
in Chicago their real battle for in
creased passenger fares. Hearings in
what is known as the western passen-
Hotel LaSalle before Interstate Com
merce Examiner Thurtell. Two weeks.
and possibly longer. will be required
for the evidence and arguments
The case involves proposed All
VanceS in passenger fares west and
north Of Chicago, and east of the
Rocky mountains. including increases
in interstate rates on the Illinois.
Wisconsin, northern Michigan. Mime
sofa. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri. Kansas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas
In some cases the advant sought
is from TO 1-2 cents a mile and
in others, . 1-2 to cents.
If the railroads are granted the
right to make the proposed advances
in passenger rates it is estimated that
their revenue would be increased from
S2O,000,00O to $25,00O.O00 annually.
This would be divided between As
railroad companies or systems.
An imposing array of legal talent
was on hand at the opening OF the
hearings, all the railroads being rep
resentedby the best counsel at their
command. Against them a committee
of state railroad commissioners was
arrayed, headed by Z. w Dougher +.
of South Dakota, and A. II. Helm, of
the Kansas utilities commission.
