LOSS BY FOREST FIRES. 



"Forest fires in the United States have caused 

 an average annual loss of about seventy human 

 lives, the destruction of trees worth at the very least 

 $25,000,000, and the loss of stock, crops, buildings, 

 and other improvements to the amount of many 

 millions more. To these must be added enor- 



mous losses from the destruction of young tree 

 gro.wth, deterioration of the soil, damage to water 

 courses and adjacent property by low water and 

 flood, interruption of business, and depreciation of 

 property. By inquiry into the causes and extent 

 of such fires we are able to realize in some degree 

 the magnitude of their losses, even though their an- 

 nual amount in dollars may not be apparent."
