Fires of 1922 ;tlm Worst infears Nearly 6000 forest fires were started on the national forests -of the country In 1921, says Chief Forester W. B. Greeley In his annual report received by Forester George H. Cecil In Port land. One fourth of these fires were due to lightning and one third directly attributable .to; the carelessness of campers. Brush burners. lumbermen. Incendiaries and railroads were directly responsible for the bulk of the re maining Ores. For the 1922 season the fires in Ore gon - and Washington have been the most severe in years. The usual May and June rains failed and fires set to clean up slash on private lands burned on into the danger period. In the IX national forests in Oregon, 58 per cent of the fires were man-caused and in Washington the figure is 78 per cent, with most of this blame laid to camp ers and smokers. More than 375,000 acres of national f oreet land were , burned over with a damage-loss Of $200,000 during 1921 and the cost of fighting these fires amount ed to $532,811. .

A defective bill of sale of an auto mobile, even though made out before a notary public, does not protect the pur chaser, ruled Federal Judge V. S. Diet rich of Idaho, Saturday.- on the federal court bench here. ; The ease arose out of an automobile purchased several months ago by E. Greenbaum from the Haynea Automo bile company - of Los Angeles. Green baum bought the machine for $300, paying $2200 down, the evidence showed, later selling the machine to K, S. Dawson for $1400. . Dawson took a bill of sale from Greenbaum before a notary public recorded It in the Los Angeles county : court, and 10 days later left with the machine for Ton call a. Or. Shortly after reaching Ten calla.' Dawson ran out of funds and through his employer sold the machine to M. A. BJckard, garage man at Cer vallis. . After Dawson left Xos Angeles, Greenbaum is said to have reported the machine was stolen to los Angeles police and automobile Insurance com pany. Failure In locating the. ma chine within a specified time resulted in the St. Paul Fire Marine Insur ance company, "which held the." policy, having to pay $592 to the Haynes Mo tor company, the balance then, due en the purchase price, and $1700 to Green baum, the amount of Insurance due to cover-Ws-toterest.i' .; " , Si :. Through the aid. of:, peace officers the insurance company finally traced the machine to Corvallis. Department of Justice agent- were called into the case after it was found the machine had crossed the state line, but . after an Investigation they absolved Rick ard and .Dawson, both men having proved their good faith. The insur ance company attached the machine, and in the opinion handed down Sat urday it was ordered returned to It by the court." Judge Dietrich suggested that the fair thing for the Insurance company to do would be to. accept Rlckard's offer to pay the balance due; on the contract' in order that he might not lose everything invested, but the Insurance- company refused to take the court's suggestion. . r Bills Passed Not From Denver Loot Baltimore.
