VERNONIA EAGLE Basketball Plays Off May Be Posponed University of Oregon, Eugene, January 23 (SPECIAL)—The play off series for the Pacific coast conference basketball championship, scheduled for March 3, 4 and 6, may have to be changed to Marc! 10, 11 and 12, if either Stanford or California win the southern title, Jack W. Benefiel, graduate man ager, and secretary of the Pacific coast graduate managers’ associ ation, said today since Stanford and California play each other March 5. Should Southern California win the play-off series, which will be held in the north this year, will, open March 5 because the Trojans end their season late in February. If Oregon should win the north ern title again, then it would meet one of the California teams in the new $200,000 McArthUi pav ilion, which has a present seating capacity of 6000. It is large enough to accomodate 2500 more on the main floor and the ad ditional seats may be installed within a few hours. FOREST FIRE REPORT ISSUED Over half a million dollars worth of tangible resources were destroy ed by forest fires in or near the twenty two national forests of Oregon and Washington during 1926, according to the annual fire statistical report just issued by the U. S. Forest Service, Portland. Oregon. The report covers 1410 fires handled by the forest service, which burned over 241,432 acres of federal and private land within and adjacent to national forest boundaries, causing an estimated damage of $638,351. These figures apply only to national forests and do not include data for the two states as a whole. The damage figures include mer chantable timber and protection forest destroyed $130,456; poten tial forests of valuable young tree growth $130,781; forage, consisting of the grazing grounds of sheep and cattle. $1,691; improvements and miscellaneous. $3,395. It is pointed out that these damage figures are conservative since they do not include such real economic losses as soil damage, wild life, water conservation and recreational values, on which figures are not available. Of the area burned, 93,032 acres were mature or merchantable for est; 82,718 acres were chiefly val uable for the protection of stream flow; 57,165 acres were potential forest land; and 8,517 acres were other types of land. Merchantable timber burned amounted to 157.- 672.000 board feet. Due to inac cessibility and other factors, prac tically none of this timber is sal vable. National forest land burned over amounted to 145,937 acres. The remainder of the burned area is privately-owned land, of which 11,- 578 acres is inside national forest boundaries, and 83,917 acres is 'outside and adjacent to national forest boundaries. Cost of fighting these 1490 nat ional forest fires amounted to $500,070. Over half of all the fires, ■or 815, were held under one quar ter acre each; 457 were one-quar ter acre but not over 10 acres each, and 218 exceeded 10 acres each, and did most of the damage. Analyzing the causes of these forest fires in the two states, it is found that 690 were started by lightning, while 800 were man- caused. The lightning hazard is said to have been abnormally high in the national forest regions of the Northwest in 1926. Smokers head the list of man- caused fires, having started 281 of them; while campers are close second with 236. Other causes are: incendiary, 88; railroads, 83; brush burning, 31; lumbering, 22; miscel laneous, 59._______ _______ In the Circuit of O-egon Court of the For the County Columbia Stale of Alma Urie, (Plaintiff,) SUMMONS. vs. Charles H.
