Local showers in Portland and vicin ity Sunday, Aug. 28. put an end to one of the longest dry spells in the history of Oregon and a t the same tim e brought re lief to the firefighters en gaged in the endeavor to overcome conflagrations in the d istric ts between Sandy and Mount Hood. The show ers extended as fa r south in the W illam ette valley as Eugene, but the dry spell is still unbroken ¿ t Rose- burg. South of th a t place and e ast of Medford a light shower fell in the Cra te r forest d istric t, where the worst fires in the sta te prevail. There were light show ers a t some p arts east of the Cascades, notably a t W alla W alla, w here a 75-day drouth was broken. The sky is overcast and more rain is expected. It has been 96 days since a real shower fell in Portland. A ugust 15 witnessed a m ist which served to clear the atm osphere. E ig h t one-hundredths of an inch fell during the in te rm itten t storm s of Sunday. The rain fell in about th esam eq u an - titie s in the Mount Hood fire d istric t and will enable the m em bers of the sta te m ilitia and citizens now on the firing line to prevent the fu rth er spread of the flames. It is well known th a t tires run through the crowns only when the atm osphere is dry, and the hum idity of the past few days is ex pected to have alm ost as good an effect on the fires as a good soaking. The men on the ground can se t th e ir fire breaks and drive the flames back. Albany received her first soaking in 67 days, the longest dry spell ever re corded there. The last rain fell June 22. R eports from Albany are th at the rainfall equaled th a t in Portland. A light show er was experienced at Eugene about noon, but is believed th at heavy rains fell in the mountains east of th a t city. Following the rain the atm osphere cleared of the smoke which has been hanging over the city and the fires burning in the Cascades were visible a t tim es. Eugene secured telephone com m unication w ith F lor ence for the first tim e since the fires broke out two weeks ago. INDUSTRHL DEVELOPMENT i f (HE STATE RICH TIMBERLAND SOLD. BAD PRECEDENT FEARED. Michigan Lumber Manufacturers Pay S 3 2 6 ,0 0 0 for Big Tract. Spokane, Wash. — Involving the tran sfer of 61,000 acres of rich tim ber land in the Oak R iver d istrict, 45 m iles east of Medford, Or., a deal has been consummated between S. G rath and fath er, m illionaire lum ber m anu factu rers of Michigan, and about 400 claim holders of th a t d istrict. The price is about $326,000. A t torney W alter S. Brann, of San F ra n cisco, acted as agent for the purchas ers, having assisted the younger Mr. G rath in closing the deals for the land, 24 claim s of which are held by Spo kane people. The purchasers of the vast holdings are said to have been actively engaged in the m anufacture of lumber in Michigan for many years, and it is stated to be the intention of them selves and associates to establish extensive lumber plants w ithin the area of the new holdings, to handle the tim ber therein. This land is thickly covered w ith sugar pine, fir and cedar. The largest p a rt of the Oak R iver d istric t, in which the tim ber land thus purchased is situated, abuts the rig h t of way of Jam es J. H ill’s new D eschutes line of railw ay. Many owners of the land reside in and about Coeur d ’Alene, Idaho, 30 m iles from Spokane, in C entral and E astern W ashington, and the country centering in and about Medford. J. J. Johnson, a well known Spokane m ining and real e state promoter, who w ith his w ife holds two of the 160-acre claims, represented some 40 of the land owners in m aking the sale. All the way from $9 to $25 an acre was realized from this land, much of which will be left practically valueless a fte r the tim ber is removed. Desert Land Board Would Overthrow Department's Ruling. Salem — Fearing th a t a bad prece dent m ight be established if a ruling of the In terio r departm ent on the ques tion of 320 acres of land under the D eschutes Reclam ation & Irrig atio n company, should be allowed tu stan d ,' a special effort will be made by the Des e rt Land board to overthrow the stand taken by the inspector in passing judg m ent. Tligre are 1,200 acres in this project near Bend, but on 320 acres of it, it is said th a t the m ain canal crosses the land and a lateral runs through it, but the land is still held to be not re claimed. I t has been custom ary to al low the construction of the canal w ith in a mile, or in the vicinity of the land, w ithout the construction of the small laterals. I t is held in the opin ion of the board th a t i t would be a needless w aste of money to place the sm aller individual laterals, as they would be tram ped down before an act ual settlem ent and it would be neces sary to practically entirely reconstruct the work. If the ruling of the In terio r departm ent is adhered to on appeal it will affect all of the projects in the sta te and it is claimed will re su lt in a g re a t loss to the various companies prom oting the work.

Eugene, O r., Aug. 25.—F ire swept into the town of W endling from slash ings nearby ea.-ly last night and wiped out all but three houses. H eroic work of 160 employes saved the m ills of the Booth-Kelly Lum ber company. W hen the flames entered the town the women and children w ere rushed to Marcóla, and late r came into Eugene, in charge of A. C. Dixon, m anager for the company. Telephone and telegraph w ires be tween here and W endling w ent down early, but a courier arrived shortly be fore m idnight w ith word th a t when he le ft the burning town a t 9 :30 the big m ills were in no im m ediate danger. The mill men were then tak in g their first re st in 48 hours. The company store was Baved from the flames, but the bunkhouses, church and school house and all residences in the village were licked up like so much tinder. The fire sta rte d from slashings near the town. Men had been fighting the fire for two days, but, w ith the high wind in the afternoon burning brands w ere sw ept over the heads o f the firefighters and w ithin an hour the residence section of the town waa ashes. W hile the flames w ere in progress 76 loggers fought th e ir way through the burning d istric t and assisted in saving the m ill property. A telephone m essage from Hale at 9:46 last night brought the report th a t the fire raging along the W ild Cat and over the divide from Hale is not so serious, but grave fears are e n te r tained if the winds rise again. Three fam ilies near W alton we»e driven out and th e ir homc3 burned. Those who lost th e ir homes are A. E. W hiteaker, W. W. Lyons and Julian Davies. H ale also reports a big fire over in the Deadwood country, which destroy ed the home of A. Almosi. The stagedriver from Hale to Eu gene reports th a t the fire now raging in th a t vicinity has a frontage of eight or ten miles.

Spokane, Aug. 24.—L ig h t rain be gan to fall this afternoon in W allace and other Coeur d ’Alene uiiniiig towns th a t have been scorched or threatened by the forest fires, and the weary fire fighters took new hope. N othing but a heavy downpour will quench the flames th a t are e ating up the big trees of N orthern Idaho, N orthw estern Mon tana and N ortheastern W ashington, however. The Idaho m ilitia and U nited S tates troops are on the way to do b a ttle w ith the red invader, but the soldiers can accomplish little more than protection of the threatened towns. R anger K ottkey, who w ith 200 men was reported as m issing, is unharmed. He was never near W allace, as rep o rt ed, but was near Adair, Idaho, on the M ilwaukee. He reached Missoula this m orning and reported his men safe, ex cept two packers. T onight he left Missoula a t the head ot a p arty which went to search for m issing fighters along the line of the M ilwaukee, where it is believed all will, in tim e, be lo- crated. R anger Van Dyke, on Independence creek, and R anger D errick, a t Sáltese, Mont., both reported tonigh . It had been feared th a t Van D yke’s crew of 75 men had been cut off. The m ost sensational rum ors of loss of life continue to be circulated, but it is impossible to verify them and it seems likely th at, aside from losses among the national rangers, the num ber of dead in the three sta te s will not exceed 100. The known victim s of the forest fires num ber 53, as follows: In and near W allace, Idaho, 38; in and near N ew port, W ash., 8; near St. Joe, Idaho, 6 men, supposed to be fo r e st rangers; a t Sáltese, Mont., 1. The Idaho m ilitiam en are on the way from the encam pm ent a t A m eri can Lake, near Tacoma, to the Coeur d ’Alenes. President T a ft notified Governor Brady today th a t he would send to Idaho all the troops available, but th a t U nited S tates soldiers could not be used for police duty. Governor Brady will go to the front tomorrow. None of the tow ns in Idaho are in im m ediate danger, it is believed. Spokane, W ash., Aug. 27.—D istrict F orcaster W. B.
