Huge Timber Losses From Forest Fires

Washington, August 24.

Timber losses from the August outbreak of tiros on national forest lands in three Western states may run as high as 100,000,000 board fact, forest service officials said today.

These officials emphasised that this was no more than a "wild guess" based on past experience with fires covering wooded acreages in the West.

They said they had no way of knowing how much of the burned aren is forested and how much is sald there grazing land. They

would be no basis for the lass estimate untli Surveys cant be made of burned areas in Call- forníu, Montann and Idaliu.

The burned timber might have been suitable: for various uses- saw timber pulp or poles. If the loss were 100,000,000 board feet and if all of it were suitable for Eaw imber that would be enough to build about 10,000 Ave-room homes.

Ofcials said, however, that it was doubtful that these assump- tlons were accurate.

Fire fighters in the fold who were contacted by the Washing- ton. Headquarters reported today that they were too busy fighting fires even to guess at the damage. Some 3,000 men were reported to be still batting the blazes in the three states. Sixteen lire fighters have died in the Ares this month.

Estimates

On the basis of raports from the field, the forest service set!- mated that more than 40,000 acros of national forest land have been burned during the past three weeks.

Because of the summer drought, Watts sald, fire conditions were

Furthermore, irrigation ditches may be clogged by muddy waters, officiats said. Irrigation is vitally important to farming, in Eastern Oregon, Southern Idaho and large sections of California-United
