A neigh bor, Sherman Miller, fought: his way turougn a wall of sinoKe and flame, but was too late to save the aged woman. She died several hours later at a Mount Angel hos pital. James Y.

(He is a brother of Comity Agent R. (i. Fowler). Fowler dropped dead at the head quarters of the small hand of fire fighters that was attempting to stem the lavages of a blaze thtit had wiped out 8,000.000 feet of bucked logs and destroyed an' un estimuted amount of green timber. ' The Mount Angel fire was first uotlced Thursday and tonight had spread over an area of 1000 acres of farm land and green timber. It look out the Frank farm buildings and destroyed the . home of Fred Helming nearby. Port Orford, on the coast In Cur ry county, was reported in gruve danger of destruction by fire. Ad vices to the Oregon ian here said the town was cut off from the land side by a semi-circle of encroach ing fire. Fiames were reported to be licking at the very outskirts of the town and one farm house was burned. Other buildings were said to be doomed unless the wind changed. Two fires In Lane county spread so rapidly Itulay that crews gave mi all efforts to stop them and fled for their lives. One of these was at the head of Poodle creek? north west of Noti.

The first news of it was publish ed in Friday afternoon's Mail Tribune, and most .of the rural people were unaware until they arrived in the city to shop dur ing yesterday that double parking was forbidden. It was the policy of the police to make no arrests for the first cffefise, but only to giw a warn in when a douhir pa rker found. Most double parkers when quietly informed that they were violating the ordiname took ihe matter with good gra and mov ed their cars away at once. Hniy one arrest was made for double parking during the day and that was the driver of one of Fluhrer's bakery wagunsi who when found double parked "ti Main street, and warned drove on to the next hloi k and double park ed again.

A presumably home-grown graft er took advantage of the confusion in the business district yesterday due to the enforcing of the new traffic ordlnnnce forbidding double parking, to make som easy money by approaching double parkers and pretending to be an officer In citi zens' clothes, threatening to make out. a tag for arrest, but kindly consenting to accept a flue of $1 so that the offender would not. have to appear in court for trial. A woman, who had double park ed in front of the Montgomery Ward & Co. store in the afternoon, reported to the police that she hail been swindled In thin manner and it Is presumed quite a number of other double parUers parted with dollars in tse same manner, who are squeamish about reporting If to the police. x The police did not make arrests yesterday for the first offense of double parking, hut only gave warnings.

AMARILLO. Texas, Sept. 7. (p) Although both its wing struts broke at 9000 feet, the Western Air Fxpreas ship which found the wrecked air liner "City of San Francisco," made a safe lauding on a ranch 25 miles east of Tuu cumcari, N.

A!., Sept. 7.P) Uh wings stripped from the fuse lage and Its eight occupants prob ably burned to death, the "Clty'of San Francisco," Transcontinental Air Transport air liner, tonight was the object of a ground search by several groups of men traversing the wild, forbidding territory of western New Mexico. Barely a few minutes had passed after the T. A. T. teletype hud flashed the word from Pilot George Rice that he 'hud found the rem mints of the once proud transport on the south slope of Mouut Tay lod before hundreds of Hcurchei'H started converging ou this rugged, 11, 000-foot peak. Due to the rough terrain. It was considered probable that hours would elapse before lund parties, proceeding slowly by truck, horse back and on foot, would be able to reach the wreckage of the huge ship In an effort to retrieve the bodies of Its eight victims. Tiuit the' three members of the j T. A, T. personnel and their five 1 passengers had periuhed In the flumes enveloping the air liner seemed certain. Hill Cutter, T. A. T. plot, re ported that tho wings had burned away, apparently following an ex plosion. He was unable to see the bodies, hut expressed the belief that the eight occupants of the machine had been carried to their death against the Hide of the peak, one of the highest in the southern Rocky Mountain range. An Associated Press stuff man, flying low over Mount Taylor, re- (ported on his return to Albuquor j quo that the piune apparently had j been st ruck by lightning before it ! crashed on the mountain side, I barely 500 feet from the top of tho ! peuk. Hack of It, lining thu swatch lit cut In the dense growth of trees I on the southern slope, were trees jwlth limbs shorn oft by fire, he said. This, he held, would indi cate that the ship was aflame when it struck the mountain, nud the probabilities were that it was 'struck by lightning which sent It hurtling, out of control and a hlaz , lug furnace, Into the jugged re 'cesses of the almost uninhabited region.

In splto of the raet that Dr. Wil ling carrlod tho banner of the Pa cific coast III the final round for tho first time, and in tho first tour nament ever held In the far west, the gallery or perhaps 500 specta tors manifested strong support of Johnston throughout and gave him a tremendous ovation ut tho finish. The contrast botwoon the bare headed, white shlrted "Jimmy" nnd i the portly, somewhat sour looking dentist may havo had some influ ence. Johnston, too, was the young er, for Willing Ib a campaigner of .'III, and "Jimmy" was tho under dog for the first hnlf of tho match. Kurthormoro, the doctor'n known disinclination to concede Bhort putts has found disfavor among the spectators a number of times during the tournament and that, too, uppeared a factor In the un usual partisanship of tho Jostling jam. Whatever It was, the match wit nessed a startling outburst of cheers at the eighth hole, when Willing missed a shot in a trap nud Johnston won his rirst hole arter, apparently having tossed It nwa hy putting his second shot over tho elirf to the oceunslile.

September 15 is tho opening dale of Ihe Avar eeasun in this slate. Governor I. I.. Pattornon or Ore Ron previously declared that he would postpone the hunting sea son unless rains reduced fire haz ards. Washington forests that may bo closed. .Major Outhrlo said, are parts of the Colvllle, parts of the Chelan, the east half of tho Ital nlur, all of the Columbia and probably the Olympic. In describing the flro situation In the Pacific northwest Major fluthrle said conditions -were ex tremely serious, "Hardly nny of tho Pacific northwest nationnl forests have escaped," he declared. '"From oven the Olympic forest In Wash ington which so far went un' soathed, wo received disquieting; reports today." Major Outhrlo Bald a 200-ncro fire broke out In the Olympic for est. He reported that 150 men were sent to fight tho lilaze, whleh Is said to' bo burning through a cut-over area. The Jackson County Gamo asso ciation yesterday addressed a let tor to Governor I. L.. Patterson "to express dlaapproval" of the pro posed postponement of the open ing of the doer hunting, Septem ber 15, unless there Is a general rainfall. Tho letter nets forth, It Is "unfair to the sportsmen" to shorten the season, that an agreement was reached with the state game com mission during the last seBston of the legislature, that by changing tho date from September 1 to Sep tember lf, future postponements would ho eliminated, and thut any postponement would be a violation of tho agreement. Tho lettor, In full, Is as follows; September 7, 1929. Hon. I. I,, Patterson, Governor of the Stale of Oregon, ' Sulem, Oregon. Deur Sir: The attention of the direction of the Jackson Countv Game protective association has been called to reports In the press thut In caso there was no general rnlnrull In Oregon previous to Sep tember 15, that you would bo re quested to d lare tho postpone ment of the open season until a later date. While this Information has been gained only from the press, It Is Ihe desire of tho directors of the Jackson County Game Protective association, acting for Its member ship, to express disapproval of such action. Without going Into the merits of the practice of changing the open game seasons tills association clo slres lo call nttontlou to the fact Hint at the lust session of the atalo legislature tho representatives of this association were Informed that the change In the deer season from September 10 to September IB would eliminate In tho futuro the very unsatisfactory practlco of de claring the open door season dates Inoperative until ufter a general rainfall. On this condition the representatives of this association told representatives of the Btate gamo commission that tho change in the deer season would be sat isfactory to Jackson county sports men. Should this agreement with tho representatives of this associa tion be broken, the exctiBe for shortening Ihe season by a ehango in the law, wo bellove. would be, untlrely unfair to the sportsmen. Sportsmen all over tho state are pledging themselves to observe strict rules for forest fire preven tion und It Is the belief of the di rectors of this association that hunters couse less hazard to tim bered ureas than many others who are permitted in the forests In dry I seasons. Wo desire, therefore, to protest any change In the opening dnte of the deer season which would be a violation of the understanding thnt our represeimtlves had with the game commission represenutlres at Salem. Assuring yon of our high appre ciation of your Interest In the sportsmen's welfare and for your splendid co-operation with this as soclatloU, We are, Very respectfully, JACKSON COUNTY flAME I'UOTECTIVB ASSN.
