raking old High Prices are giving

country was fairly prosperous we
could get only $500 to $40 in Den

FOREST FIRES ARE COSTLY
Cause Average Loss of 5000, 900 and
Seventy Lives Every Year in the
United States.

The direct annual fire loss in the
United States from forest fires is said
to be about $25, 100000, to which must
be added an equal amount from the
destruction of sawmills, farm build
ings crops, and stock that are burned
by fires originating in the forests.
Apart from the property loss there
is an average death list of 20 human
lives each year. The indirect losses
through the destruction of raw mate
rial, the shutting down of sawmills and
woodworking industries, the losses in
wages through unemployment all tend
to increase the price of wood products,
