Thousands of Dollars Damage Done bv
Fires Ranging Throughout N. W.
(By The Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Oregon, June 5—Fires again dotted
Northwest forests causing thousands of dollars damage.
Officials appealed to recreationists and loggers to use
the utmost care in the woods as the timber is dry after
five days of low humidity and high temperatures. Th i
blaze is sweeping over a thousand acres in the hills
near Scappoose, northwest of here, where it leaped
from control of the CCC workers, who battled with thi
flames, which, for a time threatened isolated Pisgah, an.
old men’s colony.
A million feet of felled timber was burned at Windy
Creek near Roseburg; and another million feet of logs
were burned at the Cobb Mitchell operations at Val
setz, along the coast range west of Salem. Scores of
i small fires over the States of Washington and Oregon
caused operators to virtually abandon operations!
