These figures represent ar? mere,'.stover the estimate of $875,407 of the . y. .u* owing: to the larger number of counties under the protective system and to a worse tire year The tabulation shows a total of 1,060 fires in the counties for 1026; as against 1,062 in the lesser ntim.?er of counties for 1925. However, it is shown that the average firt inj 1926 caused only 9682.62 damage, j while the average .(ire for the previous year destroyed property vain-! ed at $824.37, owing to the effect-j ive work of the warden force. Owing to the large area under supervision and to the greater fire hazards in 1026. it wa- necessary to expend $23,254.42 in fire fighting, costs, while in 1925 fire activities represented expenditures; of $11,347. These funds were furnished in co-operation by the fed- 1 eral government, state and counties.; Lands of all descriptions covered by fire in 1026 amounted to 353,580 acres of which 1 11,325 acres were :n oierchan able timber and 212,225! n second gi'.nvtli and open lands.
