have the chickens ana cakes reauy

According to reports of W. J.
Lander, of tho Douglas County Fire
atrol. and 3. C. Bartrum, super-
viMir of the Umpqua National
'orest, the situation in regard to
forest fires is better today than it
has been since the first of Jy,
Mr. Lunders reports all of his tires
under control with several of those
which have been giving the most
toublo practically extinguished. He
st-ites that the greater number of
bis fires hue been Incendiary and
have been in. previous burns or ot
lie ground variety, which burn off
cms, underbrush, etc.. causing a
great deal of smoke, but In realty
iloiug more good than damage by
clearing out tho undergrowth. He
says, that very little damage has
teen donu by the llreB In his dis
trict. The fires near Camas Valley
are only smouldering and a patrol
has been placed over thenij Men
n guarding tvro tires on tno coast
range and have them under control.
Fires on Cavltt Creek and Little
River are still burning, but very
lowly, and a large force of men
will soon have them cmpletoly ex
tinguished. All fires In the Natio
nal Forest except, what is known as
the Hutchinson fire on the South
litupqiia and a few small conflagra
tions near Diamond Mke are com
pletely under control while suffi
cient men have been sent to the
scenes of the blaios- mentioned to
sion have them out. In spite ot
the dry condition of the forest this
year, the forestry officials report
that there litis been a peculiar con
dition und that fires do not turn
as rapidly as they usually do and in
many cases have burned themselves
out K-ithln a very short time.
