The timber damage has not yet been computed. Loss to Young drowth "The severe fires in southern Brit- ish Columbia late in July destroyed large quantities of young forest growth which had established itself on lands previously burned over, in addition to considerable areas of merchantable timber," writes Mr. Clyde Leavitt in "; A portion of the young forest so destroyed was upon the area included in the great Fernie fire of 1908. In- vestigations made by the Commis- sion of Conservation show that the damage done by repeated forest fires on a specific area is much greater than is generally realized. Such fires not only destroy the young growth, but the seed trees as well, thus pre- venting or greatly retarding the es- tablishment of a stand of commercial species. On this account, in many sections, reproduction of valuable species is wholly inadequate, or is entirely lacking; each successive fire diminishes the earning capacity of the area, from the point of view of timber production. During the past 50 years, forest fires in British Columbia have de- stroyed an amount of timber approxi- mately twice as great as that now standing in the province, or ap- proximately equivalent to the total stand of saw timber in the entire Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for read
