The Anderson Creek lire also has
broken out again. The Are Is burning
about five miles west of Talent. The
strong wind of today fanned It Into
activity again, and It la rapidly ap
proaching the forest boundary. An
other large lire waa reported yesterday
at Pilot Kock. Just below the Califor
nia line. No details could be learned
aa to the extent of the fire.
Butte Falla Fire Growing.
The forest-fire situation In the Butte
Falls district continues to grow worse.
The two biggest fires, the Mosquito and
Cat Hill fires, have apread to auch an
extent that they have become united
In one great sea of flame aeven milea
long. Supervisor Erickson and 60 men
who have been battling with the flames
confess their defeat and the aupervtsor
today sent In a request for soO addi
tional troopers In fighting this fire
alone.
The only buildings In the path of the
fire are those at the Forest Service
Ranger Station, at Mosquito. The fire
la within three-quarters of a mile of
thla place and a vigorous light la be
ing made to aave the buildings.
The only cheerful news that Acting
Supervisor Swennlng received today
waa that the Ore on the Ben Freden
burg place, three milea out of Butte
Falls. Is under control.
One of the fires originated on the
John Hlararlnbotham place. Ove milea
out of Butte Falla and has already
burned over a large acope of territory.
The fire at Olsen'a sawmill has covered
.2500 acres all told and has crossed
over Into the forest boundary and haa
burned too acres of Government tim
ber. No definite reports were received
from the Are on Buck Creek, near the
Glfford ranch, owing to the Inaccessi
bility of the country. However, all
reports from Butte Falls agree that
this fire Is a large one wnd la growing
rapidly In also. But four men In the
employ of the Wheeler Lumber Com
pany are engaged In fighting It.
TROOPS RUSHED TO MEDFORD
Fore Fire Situation All Over State
Worse Than Ever.
Five hundred additional troops were
lied for last night for the purpose of
giving battle to the flames which have
spread over a much larger area of the
Crater Lake National forest. Associate
District Foreater George H. Cecil waa
In communication with General M. P.
Maus. commanding the soldiers at Amer
ican Lake, and men mill be entrained
this morning. They are going forward
by special train from M.-dford. Two
companies of the regulars will be
equipped with horsee and pack outfits
and will act aa a dying column to sub
duo tires before they escape all human
control. Other troops will be forwarded
as needed.
Eight new fires were yesterday report
ed from the Jackson County National
forest, one of them being an extremely
large conflagration located near Buck
Lake, some miles east of Ashland.
There are a large number of settlers la
that district and It ia feared that their
property will be destroyed, as the (Ire
mn.in. tifnrm . Mirh the roar
of the flames being heard for milea Em
bers were seen to fall in the dry leaves
and taica more than a mile from the
place of thetr ascension. Fifty of the
soldier a bo are to pass through Port
land thla afternoon will be sent on to
Ashland and will be hiked from there to
the scene of this fire.
Valuable Timber Destroyed.
Forester Cecil announced that his- last
Information from the original Crater
Lake forest tire, located on Cat Hill,
waa to the effect that IS square miles of
timber had be n burned over. It la be
lieved that much more valuable timber
will have auceumbed to the names before
the 110 soldiers cow enraged in turning
It will have accomplished their purpose.
The troops reached Butte Falla during
the forenoon of yesterday and should
have been on the Are line last night. The
officers aad men were in a cheerful frame
of mind when passing through Portland,
and evpreesed their cagemees to get into
action.
Because of an unusually heavy wind In
Eastern Oregon yeateniay the great tim
ber Are In the neighborhood of Medical
Springs, Wallowa County, which one
company of soldiers baa been combatting
elnce Anguat IX. and which they had suc
ceeded in controlling, again broke away.
The troops planned to fight the fire all
night and hoped to have gained the maa
tery by this morning.
Xew Fire Show on Snake.
A new fire broke out yesterday on the
Snake River. In the Wallowa National
forest, and last night had gained ronstd
eraote headway under the Influence of
heavy L-.Js. The Snake River country
la a favorite cat Lie-gr axing district, and
the forest rargers reported that many
of the animals bad been unable to out
run the roaring furnace of flame and had
be n destroyed. Crewe f men from
Wallowa and Joseph were recruited to go
out to the Snake River Ore. and It la
booed that Forest Supervisor Harris will
be able to command the situation with
out requisitioning troops.
Reports from Montana and Northern
Idaho divisions of the Forest Service, re
ceived yesterday, were to the effect that
the Government Is spending HiXfM) per
day In those states In attempting to sub
doe Umber ere
The big forest fire a few milea west
of Eataeada. which a few days ago
threatened to destroy the power plant of
the Portland Railway. Light ft Power
Company, waa yesterday reported under
control. A patrol of sis men la circling
the burned area to give warning should
the embers revive.
Fifty additional troops were last night
called for- on the Wallowa to encounter
a new fire which started late yesterday
evening near Halfway. Forester Cecil
may not be able to secure them until late.
General Maus being In doubt as to
whether the men could be sent. They
will go in by way of Huntington and Rob
Inet if supplied.
Extra patroie were laat night ordered
out on the Cascade. Oregon. Siskiyou,
Umpqua, Rainier, Columbia and Crater
National forests. Five men will be em
ployed for auch work and placed at work
today.
District Forester Cecil waa on duty the
greater part of last night and will con
tinue to keep In close touch with the fire
situation. He refused to discuss the dis
patch from Medford to the effect that the
Crater Lake fires may have been of In
cendiary origin and set for the purpose
of removing the chief objection raised
by officers of the service to allowing the
uatterx to remain on the lands.
A: t:30 last night officers of the Crater
Lake National forest were asking tnst
the remainder of the 600 troops originally
ordered be Immediately sent. Associate
Forester Cecil waa unable to get into
communication with General Maus by tel
ephone or telegraph.
The withdrawal of the BOO troops and
the additional men who will probably be
called out today will seriously embarrass
the maneuvers at American Lake, if not
cause them to end.
