Canadidn Forest 11/ Journal, September, 1917 



1315 



The following telegram was sent * 

 to the "Timberman," Portland, Ore., 

 by the Chief Forester of British Col- 

 umbia, under date of August 13th: — 



"May and June conditions were 

 excellent throughout the province. 

 July conditions were dangerous. 

 Three hundred and fifty fires to date 

 have been reported as the result of 

 the hot weather and of no rain. The 

 damage to property, including mills 

 and logging equipment, is $60,000. 

 Seven men and 11 horses were lost 

 in one fire at Cranbrook. The tim- 

 ber damage has not been compiled. 



Summarizing the whole western 

 pine situation the "Timberman" said: 



"Only organized and effective for- 

 est fire fighting has kept the loss to a 

 minimum thus far this season. The 

 timber loss has been nominal and 

 that of equipment small in proportion 

 to the amount endangered. With a 

 few exceptions the fires have been 

 confined to slashings, but it has been 

 persistent and sometimes costly work 

 that has limited the damage."
