"With tho season only half gone,
more fires huvo been reported nnd
fought on the Deschutes National
Forest than In the entire season of
last year, Supervisor W. 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

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

(From Monday's Dally.)
Declaring that her father and moth

man practically twice her age, the 13
year old daughter of Mike Kaspro
wltz, of this city, appealed to District
Attorney H. H. 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. Judge Eastes
advised hor to remain with the sis

he desired tho child to marry, but
maintaining that she is 14 Instead of
13 years of age.
rear for i week's Instruction practice.
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.

as a Company of Star Actors.
The Bomb Bald.
Tho polut we were to attack hnd been
selected long before by our scouts. 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.

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:

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

was, of course, along a couple of mllo

It Is because of this featuru that tho
