The young woman came bare last May.

A third residence, owned by David Hinman, was scorched "by this flames, but was not damaged materially. The homes destroyed were those of William Berry and Mrs. Adeline In galls. The fire started from an overheated stove in the Berry home, and spread to the' other resi dence, which was close by. The loss to the Berry home, where all the furniture was destroyed, was estimated at $7000. . The furniture in the Ingalls home was saved, and the loss was estimated at $3000. Neighbors formed a bucket bri gade and tried to save the buildings, but were unable to do more than save the Hinman home, even with the help of reinforcements from Oregon City and Gladstone.

Sherrard, supervisor of the Oregon national forest, who is on the scene of the Herman creek fire, reported to his local offices yester day and said the situation at the fire is improved, but is not such as to allow him to relinquish the con stant vigil which has been main tained. "The fire is not controlled," he said, "but it is in much better shape. I do not know when I shall be able to leave it." Men are being sent in every day from Herman creek to be paid off. The fire has been checked on almost every side and requires fewer men to guard the lines. It will continue to give trouble for some time, but is by no means raging at its former pace. , More men were sent yesterday to the fire in the Oregon forest at Boulder creek. It was thought to be in much better condition yesterday. It is burning on steep lands and is difficult. to fight effectively. With the augmentation in the. forces, it is hoped to have it well in hand within a few days. The fire east of Eugene at Blue river was thought to be more nearly under control yesterday. No further reports had been heard from the fighters, and lack of information was indicative of better conditions. "The, outlook is gradually grow ing better on the coast," said C. C. Scott of the Forest Fire Patrol as sociation yesterday. Men are con stantly being paid off by the asso ciation. The depletion of forces in all sections points to much more favorable conditions for the fighters. Of course, enough men are being held to patrol the lines and keep the fires from lumping them. The fires will take some time to.burn out in the centers, but will be drenched if ever, a rain will come to the rescue. The Salmonberry river country was the only spot which reported rain. There is yet no prospect of showers throughout the state. This is the usual season for lightning storms in the forests, but none has been reported as yet. postof fice.
