W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—The reperts of recent forest fires in Washington, Ore- gon, Wyoming and Colorado, in which many lives were lost, will add to the interest in & special study of the subject which las engaged the Bureau of For- estry for several years. The results of thifs study, in the form of a bulletin en- “Forest Fires,” by Alfred Gaskill, By impressing the public with some idea of the peril it suf- fers from forest fires, and the enormous damage they do, the bureau hopes to in- duce more effective legislation in sup- pressing them. estigation h: shown that, in an average year. sixty human lives are lost in forest fires, $25,000,000 worth of real property is destroyed, 10,274,089 acres of timber land burned over, and young for- est growth worth, at the lowest estimate, $7,000,000 is killed. A special canvess of the country by the Department of Agri- culture in 1891 discovered 12,000,000 acres of timber land destroyed by fire. These figures are mere estimates, Which fall far short of showing in full the dam- ege Cone. No accoumt at all is taken of the ioss to the country due to the impoy- erishment of the sofl by fire, to the ruin of water courses, and the drying up of gprings. Even the amount of timber buwrned s very imperfectly calculated, and the actual quantity destroyed is far in excess of that accounted for. Forest fires in this country have grown so com- mon that only those are reported that are of fuch magnitude as to threaten large communities. The lumbering industry in remote sections of the country may be ruined and people forced to flee for their lives without a mention of the disaster beyond the places near where it occurred. The fires that burned this year in Wash- | ington and Oregon were uncommon only in the number of lives lost. The burning of logging and mining camps and farm buildings, the loss to the country in the destruction of timber and * young tree growth, is of yearly occurrence. Every fall, Mot only in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Wyoming, but up and down the Pacific Coast and all over the Rocky Mountain country fires burn great holes in the forests and destroy ' the pational wealth. The air of the moun- tains over hundreds of miles is pungent with the smoke of conflagration, and navigation on Puget Sound has often been impeded by smoke. The following com- ment by Dr. Henry Gannett, of the United States Geological Survey, should convey a fair idea of the damage done in the State of Washington: “In less than a generation two-fifths of the standing timber has been destroyed in one of the richest timber reglons on the continent, and of the .destruction more than haif has been caused by fire. Assuming that the timber would, If standing, have the walue of 7 cents per 11000 feet, not less than $30,000,000 worth has gone up in smoke, a dead loss to the people of the State.” & According to the bureau's records the most disastrous forest fire in the history of this country occurred in October, 1871, simultaneous with the burning of Chi- cago. It extended all across Northern Michigan and Wisconsin and into Minne- sota. At least 1000 persons were burned to death and 15,000 were made homeless. The property loss has never been calculated. The Hinckley fire of 183, which destroyed Hinckley' and five other Minnesota vil- lages, burned to death 418 persons, de- stroyed §750,000 worth of farm and town property and about 400 square miles of forest. A fire in Southeast Michigan in 1881 burned the forest on forty-eight townships, destroyed $2,000,000 worth of other property, burned to death 125 per- sons and made homeless 5000. Another Michigan forest fire, which occurred in 1896, made homeless 2000 persons and de- stroyed town and farm property worth $1,250,000. Wisconsin lost by fire in May, 1891, 100 square miles of forest and other property worth $2,000,000. In 1894 in Wis- consin thirteen persons lost their lives and 3000 their homes, and $2,000,000 worth of town and farm property was destroyed in the Phillips fire. The enumeration of great forest fires could be extended almost indefinitely. One feature, however, is common to them all—they were small fires before they grew uncontrollable, and with little trou- ble might have been extinguished. For example, the Hinckley fire smoked as a ground fire for weeks and nobody paid it serious attention. But one day the wind rose and fanned the smoldering embers into flame, the flame caught in the .dry underbrish, leaped into the trees and:-be- came a fire of so terrible a volume that no human power could stay it.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1L—The citrus fruit crop in Southern California during the coming season will amount to 20,000 carloads. This is the estimate made by the Times after having sent experts to all of the districts in which the raising of citrus fruits is the most 'important in- dustry. This estimate agrees with that made by the railroads some weeks ago_ and is the same that the banks reported tu the financial centers in the East when requested to do so'by those who will be called upon’ to supply the funds-to mar-. ket the crop. Each year the Times sends experts into the citrus fruit:districts and upon their reports bases its estimate of the ‘coming’crop. With reference thereto | the Times will say to-morrow:: “‘Encouraging to the great majority of citrus fruit growers and' handlers of Southern California and to others finan- cially interested must be the estimates oZ the coming crop of oranges and lem ons in this section of the State. “It is still somewhat early to name ac- curate figures, because under certain con- ditions of weather the fruit will even yet add to its weight and size, which will consequently mean more carloads for the the elements play t] len orbs ere they can be shipped to Eastern markets. b { Dainty collars | and you will find a bigger surprise than you dainty stripes, tinted It is as swell a lot as we | “Nevertheless, as things look at this time. the prospective crop will be consid- erably larger than that of last year—at lcast 10 to 15 per cent larger. All author- ities agree that the new crop will aggre- gate about 20,000 carloads. These figures include the estimate for both oranges and lemons. Barring climatic disaster they may swell to 22,000 carloads, but the wise agree that the chances are against so large an output. “From estimates made by correspond- ents of the Times in all the principal eit- rus fruit localities it is to be concluded that the quality and size of the new fruit will be extra choice. Although ‘dropping’ ‘was general in the orange counties, it seems that the scare was over a bugaboo for the most part, for in many places the fruit will be better in all respects there- for. Many growers are agreeably ‘sur- prised at the size of their crops in spite of the vast amount of young fruit that fell off. “Nowhere, however, will the crop equal that of the season previous to the one just closed. The returns from San Ber- nardino and Riverside counties are most favorable, under all the clrcumstances, while the great Pomona Valley will have an output from 10 to 15 per cent greater than Jast year. Orange. County is also surprised at herself. According to reports it'appears that the.black scale pest has almost been eradicated in San Bernardino County, owing to-constant fumigation. The trees in all the citrus sections are in excellent condition, tjeir health was nev- er ‘better and there /is promise that the future will soon give forth an extra heavy yield. ““The 20,000-carload estimate is conserva- tive; as it well may be at the close of the old season, which ends on November 1. To date the total number of citrus fruit shipments for the season just ending is a. little less than 17,250 carloads. Last Janu- ary.the crop was estimated at 18,000 car- loads. This estimate was made by the railroads, and thus it is seen that their. information on the situation is reason- ably .gccurate. This they agree on 20,000 - carloads as the probable figure, barring. emergency, and in this they are e Fruit Knives. $1.50—Sets of 6, shell 1y engraved, and only a dime. 40c i‘!

SAN JOSE, Oct. 11.—The presence of a corps of engineers and surveyors in the foothills back of Alum Rock Park, seven cr eight miles east of this city, has given rise to rumors of raflways, water rights and improvements to be made. For the past two weeks they have been running a line down Alum Rock Canyon from the upper end and surveying along its north- ern side to within a few miles of this city. Yesterday the men completed this work. One report has it that the men belonged to the Santa Fe and that that road was seeking a direct entrance into San Jose from the eastern side of the county. Another is that a few water company is figuring on entering into the competition in thisjcity. —_——— Sacramento Valley Exhibit.
