The situation Is -worst In Wash ington, where although there has been no groat loss of merchantable timber and that of second-growth has been exaggerated, the damage to other property has been more than In any previous year and the fires are continually breaking from con trol to cause great difficulty In re- surrounding them. Hundreds ol miles of trenches have been built and rebuilt. In Stevens county the situation Is particularly troublesome because of wind. The worst Tires :n Oregon have been In the northwestern counties where large ureas of cut-over laud have been swept and the loss of logs and equipment has been heavy. Probably most of the green .tim ber Injured will be salvaged. These fires nro now under control, but by (no means beyond great .danger should wind arise. In eastern and southern Oregon It is very dry an. I the lookout.! are hampered by smoke from llio north, but the situation is still in hand. There lias been llltle bad fire.

This friction may be of two ltinda the friction of metal on metal, due to the failure of the oil to preserve a lubricating film between the bear ing surfaces, or the friction of oil on o7 the internal, molecular friction of the lubricant. Too heavy an' oil, or an oil lacking in "oiliness" the quality that makes it cling to the bearings while at the same time offering a minimum of internal or fluid friction constitutes a direct drain on the available hoisepower of your motor. , ' The right body at all ogeratitifi temperature!
