GR1NER-MURDOCK
A quiet but pretty wedding
took place Dec. 23, 1914, at high
noon, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. L. Murdock, when their
youngest daughter, Ruth, was
united in marriage to Lee L.(
Griner, of Yamhill, Rev. W. A.'
Wood officiating. After con
gratulations had been extended
and the brides boquet, a bueati
ful burrch of carnotions, was
caught by Miss Pearl Griner,
a sumptuous dinner was served.
Those present to witness the
ceremony were Mr. and Mrs.
Murdock, Mary Murdock, Mr. C.
H. Griner and daughters, Pearl
and Ada, and Earl White.
Mr. and Mrs. Griner left yes
terday for the Murdock farm
near Yamhill where they will

farm four miles Northeast 'of
Yamhill Saturday to reside.

The total number of fires dur

Forest Service were 6,112, or
1,000 more than in 1910. Of this

Montana, northern Idaho, and
the Pacific slope. In the central
and southern Rocky Mountains
conditions were more normal, and
only 15 per cent of the total num
ber of fires occurred in this region.
A preliminary estimate shows
that the total loss of merchant
able timber will probably not ex
ceed $400,000. In 1910 the cor
responding estimate was nearly
$15,000,000, although later esti
mates materially reduced this
amount. '
It is estimated that the value
of the timber threatened and
saved at $24,000,000. This does
not include the value of non
merchantable timber, young
growth on about five million acres
of land, or several million dollars
worth of ranch and other private
property which lay in the path
of the threatening conflagrations.
The figures given represent the
number of fires reported up to
December 1. When the complete
figures are in, it is expected that
they will add large amounts to
the total value of property
threatened and saved.
