HOOD RIVER, Or., July 15.
(Special.) Until a soaking- rain
1 prevails, the Herman creek fire,
started near "Wyeth by a cigarette
stub carelessly tossed away Wednes
day by John- Smith, a rancher, which
last night passed over the top of
the precipitious Columbia i gorge
side, and today spread into heavy
green timber several miles up Her
man creek, will be a menace on the
brakes of the Columbia wes of
here.
Such was the statement tonight
of Mrs. M. J. Brown, wife of the
forest ranger in charge of the Her
man creek station, who is in charge
of the 100 men battling the flames.
Fifty more men arrived from Port
land tonight.
Flames Sweep Ahead Swiftly.
Ranger Brown had hoped to check
the fire at a tributary of Herman
creek, after his crews had failed at
three Intervening ridges. The heavy
sleet storm of last November, how
ever, breaking down shrubbery and
the lower boughs of forest trees,
left the district matted with a
tinder-like carpet, and the efforts
of the fighters were unavailing.
Gaining heavier timber the flames
were driven through the treetops
over a wide area at expresa-train
speed, in what the forest rangers
term one of the worst crown fires
ever witnessed in this section. Up
to tonight the fire had covered an
area estimated at four miles wHJe
and five miles long.
A west wind last night drove
burning brands eastward along the
Columbia gorge the-eight-mile dis
tance almost to Mitchell point. The
fire on this end, however, has not
topped the canyon, the forest
growth here being scant.
Gorge Is Flaming Canyon.
Cordwood valued at several thou
sand dollars has been burned in the
Wyeth section, and two old aban
doned cabins were destroyed last
night. The flaming gorge side was
declared by motorists arriving here
over the highway last night to be
very spectacular. Scores of local peo
ple motored to the scene tonight to
watch the play of the flames.
Firefighters this afternoon were
equipped with a number of portable
pumps, driven by small gasoline
motors, Mrs. Brown reported.
The Green point fire, which burned
over 120 acres of the southwest part
of the county last night, is under
control, according to Stanley Wal
ters, chief forest ranger of this
county, who returned from the dis
trict tonight.
Mr. Walters says the Herman
creek fire is beyond all control. He
has been asked to send his men to
the fire tomorrow. A northeast wind.
says Mr. Walters, is fast driving the
fire in toward Wahtum lake, and it
is likely to penetrate the timber
around the boy scout camp there.
Situation Becomes Desperate.
"The situation is one of the worst
ever faced in forests of this district.
Unless controlled quickly the fire is
liable to spread over a radius of
many miles.
A thorough investigatipn today
lias revealed that no forest fire pre
vailed on the range between here
and Mosier last nLeht. Column., of

currents and swirled upward. The

country were received by C. C. Scott
of the fire patrol association to
the effect that the burns at Beld- i
ing were' quiet at present and that
the crews were entirely adequate
to keep them. under control.
At Cochran the fire which has
been burning on the ground for the
past four days was' reported to be
in "good shape." Forty-three ad
ditional men have been sent from
here into the Tillamook fire area
to assist in combating operations.
The fire situation in the state of
Washington forest reserves was
made clear in reports received by
the forest service office. A fire at
Beckler . river In the Snoqualmie
forest was not yet under control.
Another at Boulder creek in the
same vicinity was still burning, but
was confined to the slashings.
There was no fire line across the
fire which was in the looged-oyer
land of the Oso Logging company.
The . timber of the Weyerhaeuser
Timber company to the south was
not endangered.
At the east end of the Rainier
reserve at Rattlesnake creek, the
fire was reported as under control
Another at Ingall creek west of
Wenatchee was under control-

Flames in Slashing Threaten for
While, But Are Headed Off.
. ASTORIA, Or., July 15. (Special.)
A fire which started about 2:30
yesterday afternoon m looged-off
land belonging to the Saddle Moun
tain Logging company In the Lewis
and Clark river district spread to
the Robert C. Kinney holdings and,
according to reports received to
night, had swept over about 1600
acres of slashings, but had not en
tered the green timber. For a time
the Saddle Mountain Xogging com
pany's camp A and the Robert Kin
ney camp -were threatened, but were
saved after several hours' fire fight
ing by a large force of men.
James Chester, who returned from
the scene today, and the fire patrol
lookout station reported that the
fire fighters worked all night.- They
set back fires around both the
threatened camps and thus shut off
the approach of the the flames. To
night the fire had subsided on the
west side of the ridge, but had
crossed over into the Crown-Willamette
Paper company's holdings,
where it is raging, although still
confined to the slashings. The
flames are being watched by the
camp employes and fire wardens
and If necessary back fires will be
started.
The Saddle Mountain Logging
company officials stated this after
noon that practically no damage
had resulted from the fire in its or
the Kinney holdings and that a re
port current earlier in the day that
some of the trestles on the Lewis
and Clark Railroad company's line
had been burned was untrue.

He made the mistake, though, of'
telling the woman his plans of
transporting her and himself to

of a .32-caliber revolver. When she
received his message she hurried
to police headquarters and swore
out a warrant charging him with
threatening to commit a felony. Two
city detectives did sthe rest. They

A night of meditation in the lock

"That's a woman for you," he
lamented, yesterday afternoon.
"They're all the game. They go with
a fellow till a better-looking fellow
cornea along. Then they throw you
over for the other guy.
,"I suppose I'll get thrown out of
the bank for this. Tou know, bank
ers don't like to have clerks who get
into jail. But I'm through with
women. I don't care if you put that
in the paper. When I get out of this
lock-up, I'm going to run the next
time I see a woman even looking

BIG BLAMES ARE SPREADING
Two New Fires In Mason County
Draw Out Large Crews.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 15. (Spe
cial.) Another dry and warm d-ay
added new troubles for fire wardens
and their forces, State Forester Pape
said tonight. Literally hundreds of
email fires are blazing all over the
state and every warden has more
fires than he can reach with his
forces. Supervisor Pape today issued
instructions to wardens to concen
trate their efforts on fires which are
doing or threatening to do damage
to either homes or timber.
Two new fires ii Mason county
were burning close to green timber
and were being fought by large
orews. One is near Arcadia, west of
Shelton and the other near William
son, east of Shelton.
The big Coweeman fire is still
spreading and has burned over about
12,000 acres. Mr. Pape said.
A report of a new fire in green
timber, between the Deschutes and
Skookumchuck rivers, was received
and a crew sent out to head it off.
Warden Welty of Stevens county,
reported six big fires in, the north
half of the county, three of which
'were beyond control.
. BIG FIRE IN CLATSOP COUNTY
Reports Indicate Kinney Camp
May Be in Danger.
A new fire fn Clatsop county was
reported to the offices of the Forest
Fire Patrol association yesterday.
,It is said to be in the vicinity of
1 a camp or the Kinney Lumber com
jf pany, about ten miles east of Sea-
siae. o aennite lniormauon was
included in the report. It is thought
that the Kinney camp might be in
some danger. No request for men to
assist in fighting came to the pa
trol offices, so it is thought that
plenty of men have be,en recruited
from the logging camps scattered
along the Lewis and Clarke river.

Blazes in Inland Empire Are Be

SPOKANE, Wash., "july' 15 With
one forest fire covering an area
of 800 acres in upper Ferry county
and at least two dozen others, rang
ing from 26 to BOO acres, reported
today in Spokane, Ferry. Stevens
and Pend O'Reille counties, the sit
uation in the inland empire is giving
forest officials grave concern over
the outcome during the next 48
hours.
Although light showers have fal
len during the last three days in
scattered districts, the woods are
now so dry that the smallest fire
is soon out of control before men
can reach the fire sector, fire war
dens declared.
Forest fires are burning beyond
control near Aladdin, Wash., 75
miles north of here, but are being
kept out of the most .valuable tim
ber. An old fire in the national
forest on Deer creek, about 25 miles
north of Marcus, Wash., has es
caped from control for the third
time and is now one mile southwest
of Orient, a town near the inter
national boundary in Ferry county.
TWO -CHECK FOREST. FIRE
Deputy Assessor and Naches Man
Stop Yakima County Blaze.
1 YAKIMA. Wash., July 15. (Spe
cial.) Edgar Campbell, deputy
county assessor of Yakima and F. E.
Corliss of Naches have established
themselves in the esteem of Yakima
forest rangers as real fellows and
good citizens. The rangers give
credit to Messrs Campbell and Cor
liss -for preventing a fire that
threatened Wednesday to sweep
over the entire slope about Indian
flats. Without other aid the men
worked desperately for several
hours to get the blaze under control.
By chopping down trees, digging
ditches and carrying water they
held it on check until rangers ar
rived to relieve them.
The fire is said to have started
from a lighted cigarette stub tossed
from a passing autdmobile. It landed
in a roten stump and was fanned by
the wind until it burst into flames.
The fire burned over tabout a six
teenth of an acre. -
SMALL SAWMILL IS BURNED
Hadley & Son Also Lose Lumber
in Fire Near Eugene.
EUGENE, Or., July 15. (Special.)
Hadley & Son's sawmill at Hadley
ville, 15 miles southwest of Eugene,
together with $1000 worth of lum
ber, was destroyed by fire, at noon
today. The fire spread to nearby
timber and the crew at the mill, with
the assistance of nearby farmers,
fought the flames all afternoon, get
ting them under control later in the
day.
The cause of the fire was not de
termined. No green timber was
burned. The plant was valued at
about $5000 and was partially in
sured. It had been operated in the
manufacture of ties and large tim
bers for several months past. It was
owned by Frank Hadley and his son.

WASHINGTON D. C, July 15.
(Special.) Business is beginning to
feel the first touch of the brake.
The two great strikes in progress
at the present time, according to
reports from field workers to-the
government and private ageiRies,
have resulted during the past week
In diminishing somewhat the ' vol
ume of transactions, the tonnage
carried over the rails and the
amount of coal mined. In other re
spects their effect has been so
slight as to have been hardly
noticeable.
Wall street, discounting the pres
ent unsettled conditions, began a
month ago to lessen Its activities.
The stock market has been prac
tically deserted by the public and
it has been several weeks since a
million-share day.
Money in Small Demand.
Money Is in large -supply and
small demand, according to latest
figures of the federal reserve board.
The money market is listless ap
parently awaiting developments.
The demand for money for business
purposes which has been proceed
ing steadily toward normal figures
has subsided materially.
The iron and steel industry, ac
cording to dispatches from Pitts
burg, and other centers, continues
active and with prices still rising
but with both, buyers and sellers
still hesitant over contracts.
All reports to the various gov
ernment departments and trade or
ganizations here indicate that busi
ness is generally marking time in
anticipation of future events.' The
strikes of rail workers and coal
mine employes are the big out
standing features of the situation
and are for the first time assuming
a dominant position in the busi
ness world.
Carloadlnga Show Decrease.
While advices to the postoffice
department indicate that less than
a score of passenger trains have
been taken off because of the shop
men's strike, there is virtually no
record whatever of the number of
freight trains affected and no meas
ure as yet of the effects of the
strike on freight movement through
out the country. Carloadings are
reported, however, to have shown a
continued decrease of small pro
portions since July 1.
The Cincinnati gateway, one of
the most important bottle necks in
the country's transportation system,
is somewhat congested but the car
riers are hopeful of clearing it in
reasonably short order.
The last period for which car
loading figures are available is the
weeK ending July 1, or the seven
days immediately prior to the be
ginning of the shopmen's strike.
Up to that time loadings have shown
a steady increase. During that week
they showed a decrease of 960 cars
and since then they have gone
lower. The association of railway
executives, which makes public the
f'gures each week, states that dur
ing the week ending July 1 coal
loadings decreased 2212 cars.
Coal stocks, according to the geo
logical survey's estimate, have
reached the danger line of from
20,000,000 to 24,000,000 tons. -So
active has the market become that
Secretary Hoover has found it nec
essary to meet with representatives
of the . non-union mines for the
second-time the meeting held to
day for the purpose of putting a
check on the rising price tendency.
Eighty per cent of the non-union
mine operators, the department esti
mates, . have not exceeded the
Hoover price scale, but the remain
ing 20 per cent have seized the op
portunity to profiteer.
Teat Period in Offing.
The next two or three weeks, in
the belief, of officials here, will be
somewhat in the nature of a test
period for industry . generally
throughout the country. The com
bination of a coal .shortage and a
rail strike is counted upon to slow.,
down business to some extent be
cause the period of quiet, it is be
lieved, can be made short if the
causes of the trouble are eliminated.
One of the disturbing factors in
the present situation is the possi
bility of an offensive and defen
sive alliance between the striking
groups whereby neither would re
turn to- work unless the other's
grievance were settled. There has
been considerable talk here within
the past few days of such an alli
ance and some indication that it
was contemplated, but no official
verification of this report has as
yet been made. Observers have
based their belief that such a com
bination was in progress of forma
tion,, or had actually been formed,
by the attitude of the mine workers
toward President Harding's pro
posals for the settlement of the coal
strike.
Without doubt there has been a
change in the miners' attitude with
in the past two weeks. A fort
night ago they would have wel
comed with delight, according to all
indications, an opportunity -to re
turn to work under the old wage
scale. No such manifestation of
satisfaction was evident today at
the meeting of the miners' policy
committee, however.
Bank deposits decreased by $46,
000,000 during the week and are to
day at the level of five weeks ago,
according to the federal reserve
board's weekly statement.
ID DEBT JARS BRITAIN
COLD, HARD FACTS STATED
BY CHANCELLOR HORNE.
Hope That ' America Might Pro
pose Some Form of Cancel
lation Now Abandoned.
BY JOSEPH W. GRIGG.
(Copyright. 1922. by the New York World.
Published by Arrangement.)
LONDON, July 15. (Special ca
ble.) The cold, hard facts -of Brit
ain's huge debt to America have this
week dawned upon the British pub
lic as at no time since the war. With
the statement in the house of com
mons yesterday by Sir Robert Home,
chancellor of the exchequer, that
"our debt to the United States is
one of the solemn obligations which
undoubtedly we shall meet," the man
in the street, already - staggering
under the heaviest system of taxa
tion in Europe, if not in the world,
was brought face to face with the
realities of the situation.
If there were any lingering hopes
in government quarters that the
United States government might
propose some form of cancellation
in the near future, they were dashed
by Sir Auckland Geddes on his re
turn here from Washington. There
are bankers and economic experts
who still believe, however, that the
time will come when America and
other powers will have to diBcu
the whole question of reparations
and inter-allied indebtedness 'and
come to some understanding if the
world is to recover.
The problem immediately before
the British government is to name
its commission to discuss the fund
ing of the British debt to America.
It is still possible that Sir Robert
Home may go to Washington some
time during the discussions. How
ever, that depends largely on the
Impending discussion of reparations
by the allies In London.
One of the chief difficulties in
forming the commission 's that most
of the treasury experts, particularly
Sir Basil Blackett, are needed here
during the reparations parley. What
seems most likely is that Sir Auck
land Geddes will be entrusted with
negotia-tions in Washington, assist
ed by some exports. Sovfar as can
be ascertained, Sir Auckland brought
back no word of encouragement for
any parley instigated by America to
discuss reparations or war debts.
While the British would be- quick
to agree to such a conference, the
initiative, so the world was told
today in the highest quarters, must
come from America.
