One of these fires was in Wasco Couuty, and the other in Washington County, but in both instances fire fighters connected with the forest service were prompt ly dispatched, with the result that both fires were under control before extensive damage resulted. "Prior to the rains early in July there were several small . slashing fires," said C. S. Chapman, ot" the Oregon Forest Fire Association, re ports the Oregonian, "but they did little damage. Iu the Coast sections the timber is still pretty damp, as a result of those showers. "However, the forests are drying ' out thoroughly and in another ten days there will be constant danger of fires. Fighters in Field. "Five hundred men are now em ployed looking out fot1 forest fires throughout the state This is a big increase in the numbor of men that were similarly employed last year. These fire fighters are in the employ of the Government, private interests and the state. They are under the direction of F. A. Elliott, State For ester, and are deputized by him with the full authority vested in him by the law enacted by the last session of the State Legislature, which appro priated $00,000 to be expended in the next two years in protecting the for ests of the state. , ,. , , Permits Required. The closed season, when no fires can be started in the timbered areas without a permit, -went into effect Ju ne 1, and will continue until Oc tober 1. Permits can be issued only by deputized wardens attached to the ollico of the Stute Forester. War dens throughout the Btate report that an unusually large number of camp ers ore now going into the forests of the state These people are being warned against starting fires and - caving them unattended. Therein ies the danger of great loss of tim ber. ''..'' With the proper co-operation of the jieople of the state, particularly campers, in taking every precaution against starting fires, there is no nuestion but that the loss to the state from forest fires this year will be kept at a minimum. The record thus far this season has been most satis- aivlory, far ahead of that of any other year in several seasons."

The cut varies from 25 cents to 45 cents, according to the destination of he shipments, according to the Ore gonian, and is intended to be great enough iu every instance" to enable Oregon and Washington to compete ith lanadiun and Eastern prod- els. E. L. Cardie, general rfgctit of the reight department of the Canadian acitio in Portland, has just return ed from a trip through the fruit growing districts of Oregon ami VV ashington, and has arranged to andle a heavy movement of fruit into Canada in tli.i next few months. The Canadian Pacifio last year moved more than 100 carloads of uit from the Northwest to points on the main line of that system. Most f tins consisted ot apples, there is likely to be a greatly iuereased movement this year. The demand lor Oregon fruit is as great in Canada as it is in the ast," declared Mr. Cardie yester- ay. "Little trmt is grown along ir line now and many sections that ay beeonw fruit producers them- Ives later on have not developed r enough to market anything this ear .More than JUU,(JU0 persous sct- e in the territory served by the anadian Pacific every year. They are not able to grow fruit enough to supply their own demand and prefer the Oregon and Washington products to any other sent in.
