Toward Watershed Pro ,. tectlng' Portland Supply. r.Vtty.W.. Or.. An. IS. As a iruH ft the lightning- Ftorm on Sunday nipht 41 forest fire are now raging n the Cascade district, six of which are re ported to be out of control, according i the forest officials hre today. Three of the fires are on the south "fork of the MrKenzie. two In the Kail rreek region and one on Salmon creek . nar Oak ridge. Already 110 men have been sent out from the local office to fight the flames. The flames of the Salmon creek fire hart spread over an area of almost 900 acres and. ac cording to the local officers, extreme difficulty has been experienced in ob taining men to fight the flames. The reported shortage of firefighters is a great obstacle in checking the flames, which In many places are being allowed to take their course because ef lark of help. R. S. Wallace, acting forest super visor, and M. L. Merritt. forest exam iner, have gone up the McKenzie to in cstigate the conditions, and Andrew Ireland, also a forest examiner, went into the r'all creek country Thursday to look after the fires in that section. Other fire have been reported In various sections, but as yet have not - reached any serious proportions. The lack of firefighters to send to combat i he flames Is occasioned by the large number of men who are employed in harvest wortt In the Willamette valley. (ranch of the Clearwater river for a iistance of 40 miles, the efforts of 250 branch d men proving futile to check the flames. Supervisor Howell had no reports to confirm statements that 10 firefighters had perished in that section of the fire lone. Superintendent Fullaway of the Nez Perce reserve, with headquarters at Grangevllle. reports that the Oospel creek and Mallard creek fires are still uncontrolled and are spreading. There are 25 fires burning on this reserve which has an area of 1.700.000 acres. Today Charles Ounhead of Lewlston reached tlrangeville confirming the re port that he had lost 13."0 sheep in the Gospel creek fire. . The Clearwater federal reserve em braces M7.000 acres. It is contiguous to the state of Idaho holdings reaching over 200.000 acres, while company owned and private timber will reacn 300.000 acres.. Government estimates show this belt to contain over 30.000.000.000 feet of high grade white pine alone. Grass Fires Barn Xear Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 15. Spe rial.

NEW YORK STOP OMITTED West Xoska, Also ot Colnmbia Paciric Shipping Company, Is Ordered Across Atlantic. Mtf.1 MAY STA IN PARTY 'fis'M TEXAXS TO STICK "PRINCIPLES" INSIDE WIN. IF State Convention Will Be Called to Settle Fnture Course of Faction. City Commissioner Mann, who was in communication from Sandy station yes trrday with Elijah Coleman, lookout at the summit of Mount Hood, reported that several small fires have been dis covered In the timber skirting the Bull Hun reserve, but have been kept out of the watershed. Yesterday's wind caused much uneasiness to city and forestry nfficials. however, and fears were enter tained lest a continued blow send the ..flames into the timbered area protect - inz the city's water supply. One of the worM tires reported to Mr. Mann by Mr. Coleman Is burning nar Cameron, near the plant of the Taylor Lumber company, on the Ames road. Thia is only two miles from the Hull Run reserve, and the fighters have not yet succeeded in bringing it under control. T. H. Sherrard. forest supervisor, said yesterday that the wind was having the effect of making fire fighting almost ineffective, where the flames had gained headway. The crews, however, were putting forth every effort to prevent an unusual spread and hope was ex pressed last night that the wind move ,ment might not continue. ' - Mr. Mann has gone to andy station in order to keep in close touch with the , Hull Run situation, and in turn is In frequent communication with other of ncials of the municipal water depart ment. While yesterday's reports were not alarming, they had the effect of preparing those iu charge for any emergency. ' ALBANY. Or.. Aug IS. Reports fro Sweet Home Mate that a fire in the ' forest is burning over an area five miles long by one mile wide. The a thenticity of this statement is not veri fied but it is known that a fire of con siderable proportions is burning six miles northwest to Bald Peter monn tain. Every available man at the dis posal of the state f ire-f lcrhting forces ' m at work fighting the fire. There is also a small fire on Canyon rerk about 4i miles east of here. For entry forces are fighting a fire between lir'en mountain and Green creek, east of Berlin, mhich has burned over about 3u acres. When the master and crew of the steel steamer West Harshaw reach Cristobal on the Atlantic side of the canal they will receive a. surprise. Orders will await them to lay the course of the ship to an Italian port to deliver her wheat cargo, not con- York. s cleared for the latter yesterday and got under way for sea before the change in her itinerary reached the office of C. D. Kennedy. Portland agent for the divi sion of operation. The vessel is under the management of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping com pany. Another of the same fleet to be ordered on to Italy was the West Kos- ska. which got away from New York Thursday. Wheat cargoes going to the Atlantic side, such as to New York, were discharged- and the grain taken to the United Kingdom in British steamers because of a difference in the rate, but in the case of delivery being made to Italy it is apparent the cargo will remain in the original vessel. Aboard the West Harshaw were 238.- 410 bushels of wheat worth 1596.025. amounting to 6421 long tons, which is less than other steamers of the type and size have loaded, due to the fact the deep tank of the West Harshaw was reserved to be filled with fuel oil in the Panama canal bo she would have sufficient for the entire run. Major Cartwright of the Columbia Pacific says the deep tank of the ves sel is double riveted, so does not come within the scope of a controversy now on as to having deep tanks in all ships double riveted. At the same time the fact the deep tank is empty of wheat makes a dif ference in the aggregate cargo of the vessel of about 1200 tons, says Major Cartwright. PERRY W.

SCHOOL CRUISER TO RETlltX Merchant Marine Steamer Brook- dale Due at Seattle Today. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 13. (Special.) Manned by a full complement of ap prentices representing nearly every section of the Pacific northwest, the United States shipping board's mer chant marine school and cargo cruiser lirookdale is due to return here tomor row after a three days' cruise. The Brookdale has aboard a number of young men from Portland, Tacoma, Ev erett and Seattle. The vessel was built by the Grays Harbor Motorship corpo ration for the shipping board. With Seattle as ita North Pacific ter minus a new line of freight carriers from this continent to Kurope will be inaugurated in the near future, ac cording to advices received here from Vancouver. B. C. Arrangement for the new service are being made by J. G. Gcddes of London, a member of the firm of Tillett & Co., one of the oldest shipping firms of England. The ves sels will be placed on the route as soon as the tonnage situation is easier, ac cording; to Mr. Geddes. J. R. BOWLES IS PESSIMISTIC Northwest Steel Company Man Is Dubious About Xcw Contracts. Steel shipyards of Portland are mark ing time these days, there having been no restoration of cancelled contracts yet by the shipping board and. with the ! labor situation unsettled, it is said no figures can reasonably be made on new work for outsiders because, until the wage situation Is adjusted, the cost cannot be arrived at. J. R. Bowles, of the Northwest Steel company, who has returned from a trip oi several weeks east, says the situa tiotl is unchanged as regards future business. There is a growing convic tion that the prospective new contracts from the government will not be ac cepted generally, though some build ers have already closed for turning out new ships. EUROPEAN LINER WILL CALL DEEP TAXK STEAMERS DELAYED Shipping Board's Decision on Double Riveting Is Awaited. To await final decision of the ship ping board as to the deep tank being double riveted and "swash plates put in so that the compartments can be utilized for bunker oil. the steamer West Chatala will shift today from the plant of the Northwest fctteet com pany to the dock of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company on the opposite side of the stream. ine steamer west Harts is laid up at the dock of the Columbia River Shipbuilding corporation for the same reason. The latter is without steam and has a watchman aboard, while in the case of the West Chatala steam will be kept up and two watchmen re tained. There are six other vessels af fected by the question as to the deep ianKs, which is expected to be settled in a short time. N EW YORK CARGO TO BE TAKEN; NOT TIES FOR ENGLAND. Turbine-Driven. Steamer Will Load at San Francisco Witli Gen eral Supplies. Owners of the turbine-driven steamer Braxton, acquired recently from the shipping board, are so eager to have the vessel report at New Tork that a second change has been made In her or ders, through which she now loads general cargo at San Francisco for that port instead of taking on ties here for Eneland. The vessel will move under her own steam today from the Peninsula Ship building company's property, where she was constructed, to the Fifteenth street terminal, where sea stores and supplies go aboard. She will head for the Golden Gate. The Pacific Steam ship company is managing the vessel the interest of the snipping poaru and will expedite her dispatch. The initial arrangement was for the Braxton to load about halt a cargo of ties which the Cresap, of the same fleet, had loaded for the United King dom. Owing to the sale of the Cresap and the desire of the purchasers to have her sent to the Atlantic side, she was ordered discharged and a cargo of Atlantic ties loaded instead. Now it is intended to load the united Kingdom ties aboard the Medford, a Ferrii steamer built by the Grant Smith-Porter Ship company. On load ing the last of the half cargo now aboard the Cresap the Medford will take on the remainder at the 1 if- teenth-street terminal. The Columbia-Pacific Shipping com pany also has one or the Peninsula ships, the Corvallis, which went on her trial trip Wednesday and will be checked in to the managing company today. She will take on a tie cargo for the United Kingdom unless her pur chase should follow and the owners in sist on earlier delivery. 1 ' clJ)orit envy beautiful lustrous hair Marine Xotes.

According to today's daily report of crippled vessels as announced by the mari time department of the chamber of com merce, the shipping board's wooden steam ship Boxbutte is limping toward this port at half speed from a position off Point Arena. The vessel sailed from Aberdeen with cargo of railway ties for the United Kingdom, but the engines went wrong. Re pairs will be made here.
