Buck, regional forester, today said Oregon and Washington tlmberlano.'. held the "potentialities of a powder magav.lne," as they have been drain ed of every vestige of moisture by an unending succession of heat filled days. Buck said lack of rain has caused the Chelan and Colvllle national for ests in Washington to become tlndcr- liko with possibilities of fire greater than 1929. Serious fires raged In both forests last Tear. Records. Buck said, indicated 664 Individual blazes have been counted In Oregon this year against 368 dur ing the same period last year. Al though many of these fires, he said. were not brought to public atten-1 tion. they burned over 10.051 acres. 1 Buck said fire that started Saturday ! In logged off lands near Hill creek, i Lane county, had spread over 700 acres but loss was nominal. Mill op- j crations ceased and the fire confined ; to old slashings.
