tended from central Idaho to the
Pacific ocean, and tho downpour prac
tically extinguished the conflagra

rious forest districts.
With danger from a continuation
of the disastrous blazes at aa ead.
It Is probable that lumbermen aal
others Interested In the forests will
Insist on the passage of laws tending
toward better protection from fires
in every stato of the northwest.
