Big Fire Loss on National Forests.
Portland, March 24.-Forest fires
burned over 100000 acres of Nation
al Forest lands in 1917 and caused a
loss of $1,35S,600 to the Govern

growth, according to figures received
from Washington by District Forest
er George H. Cecil. While the loss
was larger than for several years past
forestry officials say that, considering
the unusually dangerous conditions,
it was remarkably light. Protracted
drouth and periods of high winds
