J. M. Holcomb of Portland Is
First to Lose Life.
EVERY AID IS GIVEN
Companions, With Little Hopeof
Saving Victim, Carry Him Six
Miles Over Mountains.
DESPITE DPERATIO
The first fatality from forest fires
this season occurred yesterday when
J. M. Holcomb of this city died on
the operating table at St. "Vincent's
hospital from injuries received the
day before while fighting flames in
Columbia county.
Holcomb was patrolling the fire
line of the Rock creek fire when a
snag from a blazing tree fell on him,
fracturing his skull. In a vain at
tempt to save his life his comrades
carried him for six miles over
mountain trails and then rushed him
to Portland in an ambulance.
Although it was considered a
hopeless chance, Holcomb was placed
on the operating table at the hos
pital, after he had struggled through
the night in his fight with .death.
He died at 11 o'clock in the
morning.
Holcomb was 22 years old. He
was married, the father of a 2-year-old
boy. He lived at 1521 Oatman
street. He had been fighting fire
only a few days, having been hired
about a fortnight ago as a tem
porary laborer. The accident oc
curred half-way between Timber
and Vernonia in the Coast moun
tains. Funeral arrangements for
Holcomb are in charge of the Cham
bers undertaking establishment, 248.

Fire-fighters In the Coast moun
tain forests are gradually getting
the blazes under control, according
to C. C. Scott of the forest fire pa
trol. Six good-sized fires are raging
In privately-owned timber in Clat
sop, Columbia and Tillamook coun
ties. Between 350 and 400 men are
engaged In fighting them.
"In the last two days the wind
Which had been hindering the men
has died down," Mr. Scott said last
night, "and the crews are gradually
getting the fires under control. The
situation is better right now than it
has been for some time. A heavy
morning fog, prevalent for the last
two days, also has helped the fire
fighters greatly."
SITUATION MUCH BETTEU
Western Washington Blazes Are
Kept in Control.
OLTMPIA. Wash., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Forest fire conditions in
western Washington were much im
proved as a result of the two cool
days with heavy moisture in the at

None of the big fires has been ex
tinguished, but most of them have
been held in check.
Mr. Pape, faced with a new prob
lem caused by the issuance of camp
ing permits to sailors of the Pac'fic
fleet now at Port Angeles, today
asked federal officials to stop the
Issuance of such permits because of
the fire dangers.
A new fire 10 miles northwest of
Eatonville in Pierce county, burned
over 400 acres of green timber yes

CREEK FLAMES CHANGED.
Boy Scout Camp at Wahtum Lake
Reported to Be Safe From
Blaze Sweeping Forest.
Word was rece'ved at the local
offices of the United States forest
service yesterday that an attempt
is being made to check the fire at
Herman creek through a method
known to fighters as "pinching it
out."
Boy Scouts at Wahtum lake are
absolutely safe.
The fire has spread back into the
green timber and the fighters have
worked to the rear of the blaze and
are tapering the rear of the hum
down by degrees so that it may be
thoroughly checked ajt the extreme
end. Attacks are being made with
fire lines all aJong the edge. Each
line to the south is run more to the
middle of the burn, so that at the
south end it will be utterly pinched
cut.
The varying winds in the Co
lumbia gorge are what have been
giving the fighters so much
trouble. Conditions are better now
and the outlook for checking the
uiiae is mucn Drignter.

the summer camp at Wahtum lake
have serit reassuring reports that
the boys at the camp are remain
ing there at absolutely no risk.

AUTO KILLING PROBED
Bright Lights Blamed for Wreck
Fatal to Califoinian.
PENDLETON, Or., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Bright lights, undimmed, on
a passing car, were held responsible
by ,Jay Saltzman, state traffic in
spector, for the wreck on the high
way near Barnhart Tuesday night,
In which Lewis Zilka, aged 34, farm
er of Fresno. Cal., was killed. Mrs.
Zilka was pinned under the car for
half an hour before she was found
by a passing tourist, but her in
juries were not serious.
An inspection of the scene of the
accident by the traffic officer led
to the belief that the victim, who
was. liriving, ran off the edge of the
road while blinded by the bright
lights of a passing car. The front
wheels dug into the soft sand beside
the highway and the car turned
over.
The passing car did not stop.
FORESTER TOURS COAST
Hope for Successful Reforesta
tion Expressed.
T. S. WoolseyiJr., consulting for
ester from New Haven, Conn., is
making a tour of the Inland Em
pire, the Rocky Mountain areas and
the Pacific ' coast to see what
progress has been made in the west
in the last ten years by. the forest
service. He is studying the gen
eral conditions of the forest protec
tion agencies in this part of the
country. ' I
Mr. Woolsey thinks that if the
forests are not devastated and are
reforested gradually, the logged-off
parts will be supplanted with sap
lings and second growth, and by
the time the old growth is ex
hausted the new growth will be
good enough to cut.
