TIIE 31011X1X0 ORECOMAX, SATURD4Y, 31 AY S, 1920 FIVE FIRES BREAK IER Logging Crews Fight Flames and Save Camps. WOODS UNUSUALLY DRY Sun Dries Cp April Moisture, Caus ing Mid-Season Hazard 1!00,- 000 l'cct Logs Lost. TIMBER, Or., May 7. (Special.) Five fires in the slashings of as many different mills around here, which assumed threatening propor tions the first of the week, were be lieved to be under control tonight. Crews from the mills have been hard at work combatting' the flames, which" gained headway because of the un usually dry condition of the woods.

Ordinarily the woods at this time of the year are too wet to be in danger, but the outbreak this week has shown how rapidly the sun has dried up the April moisture and brought on a mid-season fire hazard As yet no standing timber has been affected, and unless a high wind comes up tonight this timber will be in no danger. Fires Approach Camps. . The approach of the fires to the camps was prevented by use of stor age water. On the sides nearest the timber, trails were built to block the path of the fires. It was not necessary for' the mills to close down, as the logging crews were sufficiently strong to check the flames. However, the Nehalem mill was forced to shut down today, it was said, because of a shortage of Vara. MORE GOOD ROADS URGED Banks, Buxton and Manning Citi zens Unite for Mutual Benefit. BANKS, Or.
