Almost the entire population of Shelton, the principal town in Mason county,, about 80 miles down the sound from Olympia, fought fire last night to save the town, and especially the wooden reser voir that holds the town's water sup- Ply,' This tnorninsr the wind carried the fire back up the hill away from the town, and the immediate danger Is over.

Hay has issued a proela- mation calling upon all logging camps in western Washington to close down for 20 days, or until after' rain falls to put out the forest fires. The log glng camp superintendents are urged to employ their men in attempting to check the fires and prevent further loss of valuable timber and farming property. ' -' , ; FOREST FIRE SITUATION IN MONTANA HOPEFUL; DUE TO RAIN AND SNOW (United Prmi LmmuI WlrO Helena, Mont, Aug. 26. The forest fire situation has greatly improved since last night, for which nature is chiefly responsible, inasmuch as a light fall of rain and snow heavily dampened the timber and thus permitted the fighters to DacKiire successfully. . The ' wind has also moderated in marked degree and it now seems certain that the fires wlllbei:onfJnedto the areas already burned over. Governor Norrls yesterday ordered that thr Helena and , Butte companle of the national guard be held in read! ness to fight the fires in company with the other slmtla-f bodies already. In the field, but last night he expressed the belief, based upon direct reports to him from every district in -the state, that this .would not be necessary. In only one district does the situation .appear, really threatening, and that I at Thompson Falls and points west along .the Clarks Fork valley. . This is In close proximity to the towns of the great forests, of western Montana, un less severe winds should fan the embers. it is thought there will be no further damage. Snow fell to a depth of two Inches In the Gallatin forest Wednesday and quenched the fires, then rapidly moving toward the Yellowstone Park, while steady downpour has saved the situa tlon in the Flathead country. The fire in the business section o Deer Lodge Wednesday was an ordinary affair, not due- to forest fires, and was under control after a row of buildings had burned. Involving a loss of $30,000, No new casualties are reported.' The large body of men sent out from Thomp son Falls reached a haven of safety and nune were burned, as had been feared. FEARED BLAZE MAY , REACH COAST LINE BELT 0F RICH TIMBER -,: yv-( .-,1,,, , , i .... yKv, ;f ... Soeclal Dlipntch to The Iniirnal.) : Astoria. Or... Aug, 25.-Fiie was dis covered last evening in the vicinity of Peterson & Fry's logging camp on tho upper Lewis and Clark river, about eight miles southwest of Astoria, that is now threatening considerable 'valu able standing timber as well as seeking Its way toward Cullaby lake, near Pea- side. The fire 1s now burning In the logged off district and with, the aid of the east wind is following westward at a rapid rate. Cinders from the burning brush are carried many miles and grave fears are entertained that the fire will reach tie coast line belt of timber, in which event the loss will be enormous. . Early last night Ot I. Peterson and a crew of men were at the camp. The situation as described, by Peterson this morning leads to he belief that a greater fire is raging further southward and with the presence of the fire at Svcnsen and through' the .Walluskl dis trict, there Is imminent danger of great er conflagration. . In anticipation "of this Peterson took immediate steps. The donkey engines were covered , with earth, all' the cables were gathered and burled and back fires started about the camp. The precaution resulted in sav ing the working equipment of the camp as the fire passed on its way over, the clearing. '. , . . TOWN OF PROSPECT IN DANGER OF FIRE; ASHLAND SEEMS SAFE ' irrnttM trtn Wit. Medford', Or.', Aug. 26. Th little town . of Prospect, 62 miles from this city on the road to Crater Lake is threatened by fire. One hundred soldiers and 60 civilian s are endeavoring to keep the flames from crossing the middle fork of Rogue river. If they should jump this stream the town is doomed. as well as the homes of many settlers. The situation at Ashland is better today, , following an all night battle with the flames. Unless a high wind Khould arise this afternoon it is be lieved the city will be out qf danger, . Fierce Blaze Near Astoria. Astoria, Or., Aug. 25. News has reached here that a forest fire Is raging near the Sorenson Logging company's camp near Sorenson, and the crew of the camp and neighbors are making heroic efforts to stop the progress. At this time it could not be learned to what extent the fire had damaged the timber and a strong east wind is blow ing and it is feared the flames will reach considerable-proportions before it can be checked.

The timber, of . the North Bank mill at Amboy is reported a total loss, and other valuable ; timber' In the same district Is being rapidly consumed.? A fire broke out yesterday In the Johnson creek district, about eight miles northeast of Woodland, on. Lewis river, and has burned over considerable territory, but up to date has not de stroyed much valuable old timber, but has burned quite a lot of second growth timber and a considerable quantity of fences of ranchers In that vicinity, and , Is still burning. U,, REPORT SHOWS MOST - FIRES WERE STARTED , BY C. P. LOCOMOTIVES "i. (Onltrd Preis Leand Wire.t Victoria, . C Aug. 25. Chief Fire Warden Gladwin's report on forest fires In British Columbia, in July shows earlier estimates of losses were exag gerated, and instead of upwards of over ono and.a half million dollars' aggregate loes. the total of, losses was $40,000 In timber and $317,760 in improvements, which include the various mining build ings falling a prey to the flames. ' Of the total of 401 fires, upwards of 26 per cent are attributed to Canadian Pacific locomotives. Eight lives in all we're sacrificed, six men perishing In the fire at the Lucky Jim mine and two others being killed by - falling trees While fighting fire. . The report suggests the substitution of oil fuel for locomotives operated in the timbered sections of the province, even if tho government has to give the , railroads a bonus. ,, . , . TOWN OF LANGL0IS IS . BURNED; FIRE NOT DUE - ? TO FOREST FLAMES ' (Hpct1 Dispatch to 7h Journal.) f , Langlols, Avery county, has been, al most wiped out by fire which started . In i livery stable. The two hotels of the place, a general store, the livery ' stable and other buildings are all gone. 1 The loss Is probably IG0.000. Langlols bridge has been destroyed. It may yet be necessary to let the eastern Oregon fires, which have proved uncontrollable, burn themselves out while the soldiers and civilians are withdrawn to fight the fires on the west slope of the Cascades. Communication with eastern Oregon was cut off today. The wires are down, the poles presumably having been de stroyed by fire. Supervisor Chldsey telephoned yester day that the fire In Whitman National forest was a veritable hell. He was authorized by Forester Chapman to re cruit men wherever he could find them. The supervisor telephoned from La Grande later in the evening, declaring that he had been unable to find a man to help him. Garrison Wot Threatened. A report received this morning that fires were nearing Vancouver and had threatened the garrison was controvert ed by General Maus. "The garrison Is not threatened," he said,, in a long distance telephone con versation. "My men are out watching for fires. The nearest hot fire is on the Washougal and on Lacks creek, about eight to 10 miles from . Van couver; We are not fearing although the smoke has gotten very dense. A 'bad, fire has been reported in the vicinity of Austin and a special train loaded wlth fire fighters was run yes terday evening from Baker City to Aus tin. on the; Sumpter valley railroad. A new fire has been reported in the Mount Hood district In the Oregon Na tional fonest. - ' . ' Assistant Forester Buck wired For ester Chapman' from the Medford re gion this morning that a stiff . wind which for five hours yesterday blew fires toward Ashland, menacing the city, had calmed and he anticipated now that tho town would be saved. The fire fighters, he said, are well organized and are controlling a fire front of 46 miles width. Tire If ear tester. R. M. Buddenhargen reported today that his brother, Clarence, who is em ployed" by the Twin Falls lumber com pany on Yacolt. had not been heard from and he had reason to fear that the loggers numbering S00 were hemmed In. Buddenharger expects , to leave Portland this afternoon, to go in-quest. Supervisor Kirkland reported a hew fire In the vicinity of Lester on Green river to Forester Chapman this morn ing. The fire started at 4 p. m. and. already has a front of about four miles. It started in- the 0d. slashings of the Morgan Lumber company and has thus faf beta, confined to burned over lands. A large crew will be sent at once from Seattle and every effort made to con- trol the situation. ' . Fires were reported late today on Row river. 15 'miles above Cottage Grove, In the Umpqua national forest, in the vi cinity of Wlldwood. Thirteen men were sent from. Rose burg to this fire last night and they, together with the settlers , in the vi cinity, are doing all they can to combat the flames which have already spread over about 10 miles -of front along the river. More men will . be sent from Roseburg today, but unless the wind dies down it will be extremely difficult to control the situation. . ? -; Another fire on this; forest is re ported in approximately township 27 south, range 1 east, on the North' Fork of the Umpqua rivef. Fifteen men will be sent to the fire-immediately. Fire on the South Fork, of the Umpqua and that near Tiller are reported as. under control, - A trench has been' dug around them and close patrol of the fire line Ja.jatJbulng-malotalnpd , Gold.
