Forest Fire
Loss Halved
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 28.-Loss from for
est fires in North Carolina during
the first three months of 1889 was
slightly less than half that of the
corresponding period in 1898, a COM
| pilatiOn of reports from the Forest
Fire prevention division of the De-
partment of Conservation and DeVe-
| lOpment reveals.
During January, February and
March of this year | 1853 fires caus
ed total loss of $1O4,781, against
the $218,890 loss inflicted by 2,311
fires during the first quarter of
1888.
For the tremendous decrease in
number of fires and fire loss the
weather gods deserve at least as
much credit as the forestry division,
although officials report that their
program this year has been actively
and energetically pushed on all
fronts.
March, traditionally the month of
blustery breezes, was responsible
for more than half the fires and
nearly half the damage done this
year, with 1872 fires and a total loss
OF $45,056. February's 1874 and
January's 382 fires together totalled
far fewer than in March alone. Num-
Der of fires in both was held to a
minimum by almost unprecedented
rainfall.
Careless smokers caused more
fires in March than could be traced
to any other cause There were
296 of this type. Forestry officials
assigned incendiarism as cause for
248 blazes I'D brush burning was
termed responsible for PA.
Returning to the damage inflicted
by fires during the first quarter of
1889, the losses were divided as fol-
lows: damage to merchantible timb-
er S45,614, young growth $56,243,
forest products $672, improvements
81 ,2O3 and other losses $1,049.
The fires burned over 15,2O7 acres
Of mechantible timber, Al 1886 acres
OF young growth and 1927 acres of
open land
All figures are based on reports
from the So counties which coope-
, rate with the State and the Federal
government in forest fire prevention
work. The state is divided into
seven forestry districts, but only six
Oh them contain cooperating coun-
ties, the seventh lying in the Pied
mont where there are almost no
forests to protect
The cooperating counties are
grouped as follows
District |: Which repOrted 18G
fires in March. Cherokee, Graham.
Swain, Haywood, Yancey, Buncombe
Henderson, Polk, Pennsylvania,
jackson and Macon.
District 2: Reported 81 fires in
March. Mcdowell, Rutherford,
Burke, Caldwell, Allegheny, Wilkes
and Sdrry.
District 8: Reported 1O2 fires in
March Stanly, Montgomery, An
son, Richmond, Moore, Scotland
Lee, Wake, Durham and Chatham.
District 4: Reported 176 fires in
March. Johnston, Wilson, Pitt,
Beaufort, Craven, Jones, Onslow,
Lenoir, Wayne and Greene.
District S: Reported 1913 fires in
March. Warren, Halifax, Hertford,
Nash, Edgecombe, BERTHE, Martin,
Washington, Dare and Northampton
District 6: Reported 249 fires in
March. Harnett, Hoke, Cumberland
