Scores Of Fires
In State Started '
By Firecrackers
(By the Aftoctited Preai)
Firecrackers started scores of
fires in Oregon yesterday, and
several burned on today.
At least one home was de
stroyed. Several hundred acres
of range land in Eastern Oregon
were blackened. Scores of smal
ler fires In Western Oregon did
loser damage.
The home destroyed was on
route 2, Tlgard. Children of one
of the two families living there
shot firecrackers on the porch
and were blamed for the blaze.
S. R. Bennett, range manager
of the Bureau of Land Manage
" ment at Baker, said a fire crew
fought one blaze near Pondosa
24 hours before getting It under
control. A hundred acres of range
were burned. Another 100 acre?
burned near Telocaset, and 80
acres In Pyle Canyon, near La
Grande.
Eugene called In all its volun
teers and off-duty firemen to
cope with a dozen grass fires on
the city's outskirts last night.
None was serious.
A two-acre blaze In the hills
, northwest of Portland still was
fought by a fire crew today. Aid
wa sent from the Portland fire
department. Numerous other
blazes plagued Multnomah coun
, ty fire crews.
In the last eight hours of the
Fourth of July celebration, the
Portland Fire Department batled
31 grass fires, none serious.
Earlier in the weekend, start
ing early Sunday, fire blamed on
a firecracker tossed into cedar
shavings under a loading plat
form at the Santlam feed store
at Sweet Home, destroyed that
structure. It had been built in
1895 replacing a structure which,
by coincidence, also burned on
July 3, two years before.
At the same time the feed store
was burning, a firecracker stand
In the other end of town ex
ploded. No one was Injured but
fireworks valued at $500 were de
stroyed and two large plateglass
grocery store windows were

No Contract, But
Miners Again Toil
PITTSBURGH, July 5. (JPi
Almost all of the nation's 480,000
hard and soft coal miners re
turned to the pits today without
a contract at the end of their
annual paid vacation.
The work resumption started
the first of an indefinite number
of three-day work weeks express
ly ordered by John L. Lewis for
miners east of the Mississippi.
The short work-week order
scrapped the United Mine Work
ers' long-standing "no contract,
no work" policy.
The new plan will remain In
effect while negotiations between
the union and the operators con
tinue on a new contract to re
place the pact that expired last
Thursday.
Lewis and the soft coal oper
ators resume talks July 12 to try
and reach a new agreement. The
mine contract ran out June 30
while the miners were in the
midst of their vacation.

On School Director
SALEM, July 5. P) Attorney
General George Neuner ruled to
day that a newly elected school
director In Pendleton was Ineligi
ble to hold office because he was
not a registered voter in the
Pendleton School District.
But Neuner also ruled that the
director cannot be removed from
his office except by a court decree.
Neuner expressed doubt
whether a court would throw the
director out of his office because
'courts are prone to sustain the
eleetion of successful candidates
for office where the electors have
