- Olympia, - Wash., Aug. 25. 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.

Instructions to engage a force of fire
fighters if necessary. . ,
Governor ! 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

along .the Clarks Fork valley. . This is
In close proximity to the towns of the
great forests, of western Montana, un

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.

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. '. , . .

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 situation at Ashland is better

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.

"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.

R. M. Buddenhargen reported today

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
