RABBIT PEST KEENLY FELT RODENT INCREASE IS UNCHECKED. Iiii-oimIn of llliickluilN Supplement l.nte Front In Milking; liny Crop of' High Desert I'nie tirally a Failure. Iluimhors on the high desert will be lucky if they cut even a half crop of liny this year, not merely because of the late frosts, hut chiefly on ac count of lhe enormous number of blucklull rabbits, which ure harvest ing the fields before the furmers have an opportunity of getting In their rye. A Mmpxe 0f the condi tions which the few farmers remain ing on the high dry land beyond Mllllcnii ure having to face muy be gained by simply driving past the fields, noting the scum stund and long-eared rodents which ure spreud In Ihousuiids wherever uny ultempt nt cultivation ha been made. So tame ure the blucktuils thut autolsts who returned this morning from a week-end trip report killing a number from their car, using automatic pistols and revolvers. To a considerable extent, the high desert has reverted to a stock coun try, but tho ranchers who are run ning slock endeavor to raise enough hay to feed their cattle during the winter months. Lust winter, on the lirooklnigs ranch the supply of feed was so short that the cuttle were left to shift for themselves until well toward the end of winter, and were In good condition when the range wus open. This year, bow ever, feed will be much scarcer, und with the high price demanded elsewhere the stock farmer are fac ing a grave problem. because of the comparatively few ranchers living on the vast acreage of the high desert. It la virtually tm possible for tbem to take adequate steps toward eliminating the pest, and the hlacktail will continue to eat what might be a fair profit un less aid' la secured from elsewhere. G.

LOGGERS FIGHT TO KEEP FIRES FROM CAMP ONE CARELESSNESS CAUSE OF FLAMES. FEW BUILDINGS LOST Second Conflagration Starts in Tim- , ber Near La Pine and Works Into High Grade Pine Second Crew Leaves. Fire thought to have been caused by some careless smoker caught in the timber near Shevlin-Hixon camp No. 1 yesterday afternoon and spread with startling rapidity, cross ing a large tract of slashings and then attacking the standing timber again, covering fully 400 acres at one time. One hundred and twenty-five men were in the camp at the time, and they immediately entered the fight against the flames, wbich bore di rectly toward the cars and bunk houses. As the result of hard, fast work, severe damage was prevented. Logging machinery was taken out of harm's way, and a determined effort made to keep the flames from spreading to any of the buildings. As a result, the only loss sustained was the school house, two cabins and some logs which were attacked by the fire. Camp No. 1 was one of the newest and best maintained by the company. . Another blaze of large potential danger is believed to have been started by lightning in Shevlin timber eight miles southeast 6 U Pine, and to have spread to govern ment forest land. Fifteen men were at work all day yesterday and the better part of last night, and 15 new fire fighters were secured this morning by Ranger H. E. Vin cent and sent out to relieve the oth'.-rs at a time when the first " -i .v w;8 utterly exhausted. A special source of danger from, the Iji Pine fire Is that it shows a constant inclination to clamber into the crowns, in which position It would extend with greater rapidity. Up to late this afternoon, no re ports had been received as to what progress is being made.
