Tillamook Fire Jumps Nehalem River Lines PORTLAND, Aug. 20 (UP) Week-long lull on the Tillamook county fire front was broken to day by strong winds which car ried the flames across the Neha lem river line. Additional fighters were rush ed to the scene today to fight the scattered spot fires before they can spread further out of the small trees ond brush country bordering the river. Fighters have been trying to hold the line at the rver, one of the few natural defense barriers in the fire areu, for weeks. Flames were close to Batterson, six miles from the Nehalem bay flatlands. Damage was mainly to rental cabins and not in the town, it was reported. Fire crews, aided by better weather, held the three-county fire down while it smoldered and reburned the 150,000 acres that have been burning since July 11. Other fire fronts are being held, it was reported. Lane county firefighters are battling two blazes, said to be the most serious of the season. A 160-acre fire on quartz creek about 40 miles from the McKen zie area and a 100 acre bluze on Big Baldy in the. Coburg. hills have both been brought under control. Horace J.
