SIXTY FIRES IN
WHITMAN FOREST
DURING SUMMER
BAKER, Ore. (Special) Sixty fires,
of which 40 wero caused by lightning,
have been started on 'the Whitman
national forest to date this year, for
est officials have announced,
: Fourteen of the fires were started
by smokers, one by use of a railroad
and three from campflres. Two list
ed as miscellaneous were started from
burning buildings.
The total area burned over amounts
to only acres with damage esti
mated at approximately $20. This
figure does not Include a stamp mill
burned at the Black Hawk niljie. The
'largest area covered by any one fire
was only three acres.
The small burned-over acreage this
season is due to more or less favor
able weather conditions and the effi
cient use of organized crews of men
from the O. C. C. camps.
Out of the 20 man-caused fires six
convictions have been secured In
justice courts In Baker, Richland and
John Day. All of the convictions wero
for leaving burning campflres or
throwing away lighted cigarettes.
The Whitman forest has had more
fires to date this year than any of
the other 20 national forests in Oits
gon and Washington.
"It 1b 'hoped that with the con
tinued co-operation of the public us-,
lng the national forest for camping,
hunting and picnicking we will have
a record year so far as man-caused
fires are concerned with respect to
the area burned and the damage done
to timber," Phil Paine, who is in
charge of fire fighting on the Whit
man forest, said.

jams and jellies that will delight you
and every member of your family!
