nai. The fires all over the state
havo been In old burns. But very
Utile green timber has been touched
The smoko was dense on Tliurs
day, Friday and Saturdoy. On Sun
day a light fog with the smoke oh
scored the sun but on Monday both
clouds and smoke were gone, and
the weather cooled so that fires were
easily controlled. Unless wo have
wind tliuro is no fear of t'10
fire fprlnel3r uii ugain, and we urn
almost certain to havo rain next
week.
Although the smoke was thick we
have had worse. A time iu mind is
.September. 1808. Then, farmers
from thu north plain of tho county
delivered wheat at Kpringvlllo on
thu Willamette balow Portland.
They had to observe all rules of the
road used at night to prevent collis
ions. That year Mr. Jas. II. Kewell
operated a four-horse headi ng mach
ine for cutting grain. The horses
were hitched behind the sickle
which are pushed ahead of the team,
the driver being almost or quite
twenty fret behind the sickle bar
The alternoons were so dark that a
man had to go ahead with a lantern
so that he could Know wnere to
guide the team. It is probable
though that no former fire has been
so destructive as the one that raged
last week unless the prospective val
ue of green timber Is listed. The
reason or that is, nomesieaaers in
those days had not settled far back
in the forest.
Portland people are generously
contributing aid to tho burned tut
people In that county and while hun
ger and cold will be felt at Dr-t, the
famine spell will be short.
The Portland papers put the fire
damages t $1,000,000. This is a
large aura of money and the Inde
pendent doubts that a careful in
voicing will show that Ios, though
It is admitted that thtM are no sta
