OF GREATEST FIRE Lads Unacquainted With Vast Forests of West Until Few Months Ago Backbone Fighting Army PORTLAND. Aug. a" fl Hun dreds of young men who until a few months sgo hsd never dreemed thst such vast timbered areas 1id exist, are now regarded aa the real heroes of the greatest forest con flagration In Oregon in the memory of man. These youths, members of President Roosevelt's "Clvlllsn Conservation Corps," served ss the backbone of the srmy of seversl thousand which for two weeks battled unsurmoun;- able odda In the great forest fire ee tor of northwestern Oregon. Many hundreds of the 13,000 C. 0. C, workers In this stste were recruited from the Industrtsl centers of the esat snd the mid-west. Trees to them were decorative objecta In park squares. Fire Defies Efforts. But In the past two weeks, before their tsry fta. terrifying forest fires have mowed down perhaps 116,000.000 worth of ' fine timber from many thousands of acres of foreet lands These flames defied the concentrated, oqurageous and heart-breaking effort of 4,000 men to bring them under control. Today nature aligned herself with the wesry and grimy fire fight ers to bring showers to the stricken areas. Pedersl snd state forestry oflclals had nothing but highest praise for the conduct of the young members of the conservation corps. In the fsee of considerable peril, these youngsters, trained and trim and naray from several weeks' prellmln sry work In the healthful woods, thrsw themselves vigorously Into the battle with the enemy of the woods.

When the youths return eventually to their home In eastern cities, they may feel the need of corroborating testimony as they recite tsles of their adventures, so strange have some of these experiences been. But forestry offlclsls her will vouch for them. Some of the fire fighters, fleeing be fore the explosive flames, hsve run side by side with fear-atrlcken ani mals of the forests. Men and deer and cougars have fled along trails together ahead of the menacing fires. Men and deer have sought refuge from the blasting heat in the earns streams, wildcats and tim orous amaler animals of the woods have crowded 'together In a ahelter ed place, heedless of each other.
