SHIPMENTS IN LUMBER FROM WEST COAST TO THE ARGENTINE SHOIy\/ INCREASE

Shipments of lumber products to the Argentine, a trade practically unknown heretofore, is now being established on a large basis from the Pacific Coasst. Up until three years ago the Argentine country received only small quantities of timber products frorntime to timefrom this coast. Through the introduction of the United States Shipping Board's Pacific Argentine BrazilLine service, shipments of lumber to that country have improved so steadily that nolv such shipments are proving an important factor in the exports of the Pacific Coast.

The establishment of the steamship service by the shipping board opened the first avenue of regular service and has made possible quick transportation of lumber from the Pacific Northwest to a country that heretofore had no means of securing such products from the Western coast.

The Pacific Argentine Brazil Line is now operated by the McCormick Steamship Company, a concern which has large interests throughout the Northwest. This private concern is making every effort to stimulate the movement of timber in this new trade by maintaining the regular service.

Demand for lumber in the Argentine Republic has reached such a high point at the present that the San Francisco concern ofW.J. Mulligan & Company, lumber exporters. have chartered the McCormick freighter West Cactus for one trip to the Argentine.This steamer recently called at San Francisco before proceeding to the River Plate. She has aboard the first full cargo of Douglas fir lumber consigned to a single buyer in the Argentine.

This single shipment aggregates 4,500,000 feet, representing in excess of one-quarter of the total imports of Douglas fir received in the Argentine during 1925 and more than the entire country of Uruguay received cluring the same period.

1926 Fire Record For National Forests Of California

A total of 1662 fires which burned over 584,601 acres and cost $565,136 to suppress, is, in brief, the 1926 fire record for the National Forests of California, according to figures released by S. B. Shorv, chief of the California District, U. S. Forest Service.

Of the total of 1662 fires that occurred in and adjacent to the Federal forests, 1138 or 68 per cent were due to human carelessness, as compared with 537 ofi of a total of 1915 fires in 1925. Smokers led the list with 427 fi,res, with incendiaries 178, railroads 170, campers 137, lumbering operations 52, brush burners 50 and miscellaneous causes 124. Lightning is credited with starting 524 fires.

The total area of government timber and brtrsh land burned over was 215,508 acres, while 369,@4 acres of private lands within and adjacent to the national forests were swept by flames. The total cost to the Forest Service of fire suppression was $565,136, or more than double the expenditures made for like purposes in 1925.

Fires in the national forests this year killed 296,00,000 feet of Federal owned timber besides large amounts of young growth, destroye-d 750,000 feet of cut logs, and occasioned damage to logging equipment, mills and improvements amounting to $216,00fmaking a total loss, based on conservative estimates, amounting to nearly one million dollars, of which more than three-quarters of a million dollars were timber losses. Figures on additional losses of forage, wild life, water conservation and recreational resources are not available.
