On forest service land alone, he said. 416 unattended camp fires were abandoned, and hundred more were found and extinguish ed on state and private lands.

Clark Walsh, assistant state game commissioner, was asked to meet with the commit tee, which will report to the an nual Keep Oregon Green meeting in January.
