With the summer season well ad
vanced, only two forest fires, both of
minor consequence, have occurred
in Oregon this season. 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."

Reduction in the freight rates for
moving apples from points iu Oregon
and Washington to stations on the
'anadian Pacitie has just been an
nounced and is expected to result in
ojiening a new and profitable market
to the fruit growers of these two
States.
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-

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-
