burned over, damaging 25,000 feet of timber, 

 valued at $35. The assessment this year was 

 only half a cent an acre. 



"The State is willing to co-operate and pay 

 its pro rate on an acreage basis in districts 

 where the owners of private timber lands are 

 willing to co-operate," says Mr. Jungberg in 

 his report. "The Northern Montana Fores- 

 try Association has a membership numbering 

 84, which includes all the large lumber com- 

 panies and individuals holding tracts of tim- 

 ber in that district. While the Anaconda 

 Copper Mining Company is not included in 

 the Northern Montana Forestry Association, 

 yet it has had men to patrol the country in 

 and adjoining this district this season, and 



has shown a disposition to fight fires if 

 necessary. Fire hazard in this district is very 

 great, owing to the large amount of timber 

 cut during the last twelve years, and to the 

 fact that two railroad lines tap this district 

 in various places. 



"The cost of fighting fires in three other 

 districts is on a percentage basis, the Govern- 

 ment paying sixty-five per cent of the cost 

 of fighting all fires that occur, and the 

 State thirty-five per cent. This percentage 

 agreement covers three districts. In district 

 number one are 180,800 acres; in district 

 number two 483,840 acres, and in district 

 number three 299,520 acres, a total of 964,160 

 acres.
