After threatening the' ranches-along
theHerman creek flat all Monday aft
ernoon,' .the Herman creek forest fire
is now in a very favorable condition.
Dr. Julius Hofmann, director of -the
Wind river experiment' station, ..wbo
has been one of the fire capjatns and
who justTeft the blaze, Monday night,
reported this morning, i
The; main fight "yesterday ; was to
save the' ranches," said. Dr Hofmann.
''and had the fire not been chocked It
wouldshave' burned out several ranch?
era- . - 1
"Conditions are. favorable, and If
weather conditions continue coor- the
fire can be . checked about where it
Ik 1 would not even take a shot at
estimating the extent of the fire, since
points of it have gone all over that
part of the country.'. It has burned
about four or five miles up the Her
man creek'trall and has extended out
toward Green point at .the head of
Gordon creek. Now the fire la right
back to its starting point after winds
had shifted south, west, north and then
east Last night it burned over the
first Iflre line-"- i ' '
Hose and pumps were used with great
success, according to - Hofmann, who
predicts that they will be a coming
thing in fire fighting. . - -
"If It had not been for the hose, we
would have lost several lines, " said
Hofmann. "X was in charge of one
bunch; with over 4000 feet of hose. '- "We
controlled the fire for that distance,
and, without It, the fire would un
doubtedly have spread to greater pro
portions.' i - ,' t
. In some places the hose was attached
to - .i waterfall. which, sent a steady
stream of water to ..the fire, and in
6ther places pumps were necessary. -
Hofmann is in Portland to confer
with Colonel W. Greeley, United
States forester. . .

ern railroads, it is expected, today will
follow, the example of Ka stern lines
and begin organization of "company
unions', to replace the organizations
of shopmen who are on-etrike. The
movement for formation ! of company
unions is believed to indicate that the
roads are preparing for a prolonged
fight and have no intention of yielding
to the demands of strikers. -
Although no one in authority would
comment on that phase of the ques
tion, - it was reported today -that the
resolution of the labor board "outlaw
ing the striking shopmen had arisen
as one of the chief obstacles to settle
ment of the strike. ,
. It was contended unofficially t In
union - circles that the railroads were
taking advantage of the resolution as
a means of -eliminating- the. existing
organisations and building up company
bodies more" amenable to the derises of
the managements. - .
