8 CLEARWATER TIMBER PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION 



entire Clearwater district as well as the greater portions of the 

 Potlatch and Coeur d'Alene started more than ninety fires in 

 the Clearwater. However, after this date we had no extremely 

 high winds but with the great number of fires we were unable to 

 get a force of men on each one of them at once and we had some 

 loss. P>y September 1st we had practically all the fires under con- 

 trol but as it still remained extremely dry we kept the men on the 

 fire line, widening trenches and cutting snags that might fall 

 over the line. 



I wish to thank the officers of the Clearwater National Forest, 

 of the Potlatch Timber Protective Association and of the Coeur 

 d'Alene Timber Protective Association for their prompt co-opera- 

 tion during the season.
