O. Hnstlngs estimated today. So far the total has been Gl, while last season's total was 69. Of this year's total, 40 hnvo broken out In the last week, chiefly caused by lightning. The 21 pro ceeding that tlmo were scattered over several weeks, and wore tho result of carelessness on the part of campers. In addition to new fires, several which had been deemed under con trol havo burst out again In the last two days, and are now considered to be the most dangerous of any. Do sides the regular summer forostry force of rangers, guards and lookouts, Mr. Hustings has 60 extra men work ing as fire fighters, and more could be used to advantage In the Pino Mountain and Crescent ranger dis tricts, he says. Smoke Is Hindrance. So many conflagrations so close in have brought increasing dltficul Ies, for the air is becoming so smoky that It is only with the utmost dif ficulty that lookouts stationed on the highest peaks In the forest limits can discern signs of new fires. In several Instances lately, Mr. Hastings says, only one fire has been reported in a section where two or more might be burning at the same time. One factor, however, which is aid ing materially in the fight against flames is the return of cold nights, giving the work of the fire guards a chance to take effect, and allow ing a better opportunity for rest to tho fire fighters who have boon work ing day and night. With the excep tion of four fires, all of which have been reported to date, are now under control. Two of the four, one on Bald Mountain, on the Klamath Res ervation, and one on Hound Moun tain on the Fremont National forest. aro outside of Mr. Hastlng's terrl tory, but arc seriously menacing Des cnuics lorost timber, and as a pro tective measure he will head three auto loads of fire fighters to work on tho danger points tomorrow, un less those really responsible should show more interest In meeting con ditions. Old Fire Ilrenk Out. Three new fires east of Crescent wero roported yesterday aftornoon, but wore extinguished with little dif ficulty, but two old fires In the Cres cent section, which had been left whon they wero thought to be under control, burst out again, and 10 men wero sent out from La Pine. Another flro in tho Pine Mountain district burst out afrosh, and 20 men are at work on it. All three are regarded as very serious. Five fires In the Sis ters district, reported Thursday, wore easily handled.

De Armond and Jus tice of the Peace J. A. Eastes today. The child said that constant pressure -was bolng brought to bear to force her to marry Dan Draglch, laborer, and that her mother had whipped her repeatedly because she did not care for the man and steadfastly refused to marry him. The girl said that she had run nway from her parents Thursday, and bad mado her home with a married Bister since that time, although her father bad repeatedly endeavored to persuade-her to return.

Having ouly n slight Idea of what wo wero going to try to do. we felt very Jolly about the whole enterprise start ing off. We were camped In an old tarn, with several special Instruction offlrcrs In charge. We had oral In struction tho first day. while sappers dug nnd built nn exact duplicate of the section of the German trenches which we were to raid that I. It was exact except for a few details. Certain "skeleton trenches" In the practice sec tion weredug simply to fool the Gcr man aviators. If a photograph taken back to German headquarters bad shown an exact duplicate of a German trench section suspicion might hnvc been aroused and our plans rcrenlcd. Wo were constantly warned about the skeleton trenches nnd told to remenv bcr that they did not exist In the Ger man section wbero wo wero to operate Mcanwhllo our practlco sectlou was changed a tittle so vera I time, because aerial photographs showed that the Gcrmnns bad been renovating, and making some addition to the trenches In which we wcru to have our frolic with them. Wo bad oral Instruction, mrutly ilur lug tho day. because we didn't dare let the German arlaturs sec us practicing a bomb raid. All night loag, sometimes until 2 or 3 o'clock In tho morulng, we rehearsed that raid. Just an carefully as a company of star actum would re hearse a play. At first there wua u dis position to haro sport out of It. "Well," some chap would say, roll ing Into the hay all tired out. "I got killed six times tonight. S'pose It'll be eight times tomorrow nltlit." One man Insisted that he bad dlxcor ered In oue of our nerlul photograph a German burying money, and hocuie fully examined each new picture, so that bo could be sure of finding the dough nud digging It up. The grave and serious manner of our officer, however, the exhaustive care with which we wore drilled und. more than all, llio upproacb of tho time when we wore to "go over the top" drove all sport out of our minds, and 1 can say for myself that the very thought of the undertaking as tho fatal night drew nour sent shivers up und down my spine. A bombing raid, something originat ed In warfare by tho Canadian. In not Intended for the purpose of holding ground, but to gain Information, to do as much damage as possible and to keep tho enemy in a state of nervous ness. In this particular raid tho chief object was to gain Information. Our high command wanted to know what troops were opposlto us nnd what troops had been there.

It was not, an you might suppose, tho weakest point lu tho German line. It was, on the contrary, the strongest It was considered that the moral effect of cleaning up a weak point would be comparatively small, whereas to break In at tho strongest point would Im something really worth while. And If wo wero to take a chance It really wouldn't pay to hesitate about degrees. Tho section we were to raid had a frontage of l.V) yards and n depth of 200 yards. It had been explained to us that wo wero to bo supported by a "box barrage," or curtain lire, from our artillery to last exactly twenty six minutes that Is, for twenty six min utes from tho time when wo started "over tho top" our artillery, several miles buck, would drop n "curtain" of shells nil nround tho edges of that 150 yard by 200 yard section. Wo wero to huto fifteen minutes In which to do our work. Any man not out at tho end of the fifteen minutes would neces. sarlly Ik: caught lu our own lire, as our artillery would then change from a "box" to pour a straight curlulu lire covering all of tho spot of our oiiera tlous. Our olllcers sot their watches very carefully with those of the nrtlllery of. ncors before wo wont forward to 'tho front trenches. We reached the front nt 11 p. in., und not until our arrival thoro wero we Informed of tho "zoro hour" the tlmo when the attack was to bo mndii. Tho hour of l'J:10 had beou selected. The waiting from 11 o'clock until thnt time was simply nn agony. Homo of our men sat stupid and Inert. Others kept talking cou stautly about the most Inconsequential matters. Oue man undertook to toll n funny story. No ouo listened to It, and the laugh at the end was emaciated and ghastly. The Inaction was driving us all Into a state of funk. 1 could ac tually feel my nerve oozing out at my finger tips, and If wo bad had to wult fifteen mluutes longer 1 wouldn't have been ablo to climb out of tbo trench. About half an hour before we were to go over every man hud his cyo up tho trench, for wo know "tho rummies" wero coming that way. The mm gatifl serves out a stiff shot of Jamaica Just before an attack, and It would bo a real test of temperance to sco a man refuse, Tlicro were no prohibitionist. In our set. Whether or not we got out full ration depended ou whether tho sergeant lu charge was drunk or sober. After tho vhot began to work one man next me pounded my leg uud hollered In my car: "1 say, why all this red tape? Let's go over now," That uoggln of rum Is a llfo saver. When the hour npproached for us to start tho artillery lire wns sa honvt that orders had to bo shouted Into cart from man to man, Tho bombardment was, of course, along a couple of mllo of front so that tho Germans would not know whoro to expect us. At 12 o'clock exactly they bogun pulling down u sec tlon of tho parapet o that wo wouldn't huvo to climb over It and wo wero off. tain, ono of the most Inaccessible points within the forest boundaries. It Is because of this featuru that tho fire must havu been the result of lightning. (From Monday's Dally.)
