A patrolman for this company has
crew of ltf men fighting the fire,
which Is in an extensive belt of
heavy timber and Is apt to become
bad fire unless stopped soon.
This makes the second forest fire
now burning In Linn county. 1 ne
other one has been burning several
days southeast of Mill City. A big
crew of nre-nghters irora the Curtlss

Government rangers, has been fight
ing this fire continually, but has not
yet checked It.
Official or the uurtlss company
assert that this fire, which swept
out the Curtiss Company's logging
ramp No. 6, and greatly damaged
It logging railroad, has damaged
but little green timber and has been
confined almost entirely to an old
burn and logged-off land.
One of the fiercest fires In years
is raging in Columbia county, 11
miles northwest of St. Helens. The
area now burning is estimated at
five miles In length and a mile wide.
Men who have been fighting the
flames admit that the fire Is beyond
their control and that only a change
In the wind or a heavy rain will
ton the conflagration. This news
was brought to Portland last nigni
bv Mr. and Mrs. William H. Dolman
who have been camping for the past
five days at a point known as Bunk

of St. Helens. The Dolman party
