pass at South Cinder mountain.

The third party, under the lead

them plenty of activity. The party
included O. Harold Smith, their
leader, Dan Norris, Douglas Ber
wick, Joe Brazie, Richard Gatke,
Alden Sundlie, Karl Byers, Kenneth
Crossan all of Salem, and Thane
Bullock of Independence, and Bob
Schachtsick of Stayton.
Thunder and lightning but little
ram, was encountered eacn aay oy
the hike parties. It was just enough
to give them some good experience
in hiking and cooking In the rain.
The fish story of the week Is
vouched for by Bill Bentson, camp
packer, who solemnly declares that
as he started swimming near the
dock one day a nine inch trout
jumped out of the water onto the
dock, and that he, with the help
of Bob Gllham, water front director,
captured the trout. The evidence
was later eaten with relish by the
captors.

Ben Hogan Shoots
For Cash Record
Chicago, July 21 IF) Three years
ago Sam.Snead, the West Virginia
slugger, set a money-winning record
among professional golfers that was
supposed to stand for a good long
while.
But that was before Little Ben
Hogan, whose method of par-busting
is almost the opposite of Snead's
hit his hot streak.
Snead mowed everything down in
sight that season and collected $19,
534.49 in tournament prize money.
Now the 140-pound Texan, who
plays out of Hershey, Pa., is after
that record and stands a better than
fair chance to set a new one.
Hogan hit the jackpot in the Chi
cago open yesterday, his 10-under-par
274 earning him $1,200. This
neat bundle of cash boosted his 1941
tourney checks to $11,517 and kept
intact his record of having fin
ished in the money In his last 51
meets.
Ben began his streak last year
when he led the pros in money earn
ed with $10,655 and won the Var
don trophy. This bauble will be his
again unless he slumps. He has 383
points in the Vardon derby, a good
lead over Craig Wood's 300 in sec
ond place.

Weather Favorable
For Control of Fires
Favorable weather conditions in Oregon for the next two
or three days will see all forest fires in the state under con
trol, State Forester N. S. Rogers predicted today. "The weath
er is getting more favorable all the'
time," the forester said. "If we get
any kind of a break in the next two
or three days we ought to see every
thing cleaned up."
An aerial survey of the present
fire situation showed Rogers that
only three fires remained potentially
dangerous today. The McDowell
Creek fire north of Sweet Home was
out of control. It jumped Its lines
yesterday before a strong wind, and
several hundred men were battling
it today with good hopes of bring
ing it back under control. The Crab-
tree River burn in Linn county,
and the Tumble Creek fire in Mar
lon county were both giving trouble
today, but Rogers held high hopes of

The situation was still danger
ous enough in Linn and Marlon
counties to lead Rogers to order a
partial closure of logging operations
in all of Linn county and that por
tion of Marlon county In the water
shed of the North Santiam river.
Despite the great heat that has
prevailed in the state for more than
a week, enough moisture from early
rains remained in green timber
stands to make the probability of
serious fires there unlikely.
"It is in old burned-over areas
that we have the most difficulty
now," Rogers said. "It Is easy to
stop a fire as soon as It gets started
in green timber, and will remain
comparatively easy so long as we
have high humditly and no wind."
