Oliwrver!i on Dt-M'liutcs Forest Or dered From Pouts Today to Take Up Patrol Hen Ice Rumor of Itig Fire Groundless. i Smoke from forest fires believed to be raging on the otber side of the Cascades has so filled the air In the last few days that lookouts on the Deschutes National Forest are utterly unable to see whether or not any flames are at work in their own ter ritory. Supervisor W. G. Hastings ordered all the men employed In this work' to start patrolling this morn ing, and the- lookout stations will be abandoned until the smoke clears. Reports that the worst conflagra tion in years was sweeping away the timber midway between La Pine and Crescent, came In late yesterday at- , ternoon from La Pine, autolsts driv ing at a 40-mlle clip to escape the flames. Mr. Hastings believes that the dense smoke was the only founda tion for the report, for Rangers Oner and Ha'rrlman were sent out to locate the trouble, and atter scouring the country all night, they sent In word this morning to Bend that not even a spark could be discovered. . The fire policy on the Deschntes will be concerned chiefly with auto patroling ot all roads passing through or near the national forest, and In stamping out tires along roads and camping places as the Interior and more inaccessible points will present no danger unless another .thunder storm should set fire to the timber. In this case there Is a possibility that the air might be cleared for long enough to give the lookouts a chance, to do some effective locating work.
