NORTHWEST FIRE DEMON IS UNDER CONTROL TODAY SPOKANE, Aug. 10 m Forest ftf t'ciaJrea tlied easier today aahe fire demon, its wrath spent in num erous blazes throughout the Pacific northwest, yielded to tho untiring hu man army which had been thrown against It. Wind remained the only Sos of fire fighters, and fear that new gales might sweep across the hills and fan controlled fires into near tnfernoes kept foresters on the alert. The serious Central Idaho fire in Selway national forest was under con trol, but small spot fires smoldering around the black burn of 800-scrcs were reminders of what a gale can do to a fire. The six-mile fire on Lost Horse creek, in the Bitter Root forest of Western Montana, and the 300-acrc fire near Superior, Mont., In Lolo for-; est were near control. All Washington fires werj subdied, ! In British Columbia two fires gave 1 fighters trouble. One blaze was re-; ported In the East Kootenay and an- j other near Nelson. The Kelson moun-1 tain fire across Lakv Kootenay from Nelson was undBr control.

Of the 15, causes were as follows: eight by smokers, four by lightning, two by campers and one from slash burning, Tha now code which recently went Into effect provides for no smoking in the woods except at camps or designated places. More head says. In other words, anyone working or trav eling in the woods would be expected to refrain from smoking. Within the last few days several smokers' flrea have occurred in wood cutting operations; As a fire preven tion measure, all logging trucks or wood hauling outfits will be expected to carry a shovel and an axe at all times during the fire season. Forest .fleers are making inspections of ail operations and will expect co-operation in Ire pretention measures. More head announces.
