HEAVY U. S. LOSS TO FIRE. 



Forest fire losses during the 1918 

 season on the U. S. Pacific Coast 

 exceeded the three million dollar mark 

 and perhaps reached or passed the 

 four million dollar figure. More than 

 300,000 acres were burned over and 

 more than three billion feet, board 

 measure, of merchantable timber was 

 damaged,^ about two-thirds of it 

 beyond salvage. 



The fire season lasted so long that 

 reports from many sources are not 

 yet available. Approximate figures 

 on National Forest losses show be- 

 tween 60,000 and 70,000 acres burned 

 over in Oregon and about 75,000 acres 

 in Washington. The loss in the 

 National Forests of Oregon was 

 greater, however, as about 50,000 

 acres burned over in the Cispus forest 

 tract in Washington was "burned 

 over" land and bore virtually no 

 merchantible timber. 



IN NORTH ONTARIO. 



In the Cochrane division of the 

 Ontario Forest Protection Ser^dce 

 nearly double the number of fire 

 permits over the issue of last season 

 has been made to settlers. Of the 

 total number of rangers in the divi- 

 sion 95% have their homes north of 

 North Bay, well illustrating the 

 sensible policy of the Department in 

 employing men with a personal know- 

 ledge of and interest in the district 

 where their fire ranging duties lie.
