I I HUE OF THE SEASON IS BURNING I SUPERVISOR RECEIVES REPORT THIS MORNING TIMBER LOSS TO BE KM ALL. Th first lorest fire of the season In the Umatilla national forest was re ported to Supervisor W. W. Cryder this morning but the reports indicate the loss of timber will be small and that the fire will be extlngllshed by tonight. The fire Is, In the extreme south eastern portion of the reserve, near the mouth of Fly creek. It started among some down timber In an old burn of JS years' standing. Conse quently there was little good timber In the Immediate vicinity and the tire was discovered by the rangers before It had spread far. A tele phone message this morning stated that the fire was under control and would probably be stamped out by nightfall. The forest is very dry now, as a result of the long warm spell, and the danger from fires Is great. How ever, the almost total absence of vi olent electrical storms as well as the precautions taken by campers as a result of the campaign conducted for several years reduces the damrer ma terially.
