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.

INADEQUATE BILL
OF SALE HO GUARD
Defective Document Is Not Pro
tection to Purchaser of Auto
'Which Has been Stolen.
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
