Forest Fire DAMAGE
Reduced In 1880

In spite of the dry summer, forest
fire losses in Montana and northern
Idaho were much less than during the
same period in 1929, according to a
report just given out by the regional
forester at Missoula.
The report shows there were 1884
fires set as against 1866 in 1929, but
onnly 17156 acres burned as against
335,920 acres last year
This Improvement IS due in part
to better cooperation by the public
and in part to greater efficiency of
forest employees in reaching and put
ting out fires before they become
large says Regional Forester Evan w.
Kelley in commenting on the report.
Improvement in our system of de-
tecting fires, additional pack animals
held in readiness to be shipped by
truck or train to the point needed,
prompt and we'll directed action by
crews on reaching a fire, have all
played an important part in curtailing
the damage
1.-The outlook for stin further reduc-
ton of damage in the future is promis-
ing" says Major Kelley I'VE have
learned during the past two seasons.
which have been abnormally dry and
of high fire hazard, that even the most
threatening fires can be controlled by
prompt and efficient action"
The same report shows that the sup
preston cost for the 1929 season was
only one-sixth of the amount expended
last year The 1880 cost is given as ap-
proximately $25O,0OO, with 100000
used in providing emergency guards
The cost last year was approximately
81 SOC, coo.
