Forest Fires Rage
In Oregon And
Washington
(By The Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 28, —
Fires eat into brush and timber
lands in western Oregon and
southwestern Washington today,
while ice formed on Cascade
Mountain lakes and snow fell at
Pendleton.
The dryest fall in years turned
forests and fields into veritable
tinder boxes, with low humidity
fairly general west of the Cas_
cades, though coastal fogs brot
some relief.
The most menacing Oregon fire
is on Saddle Mountain in Clat_
sop County. Coast fires are also
burning in Coos, Curry, and Tilla
mook counties, & in Washington
in Skamania, Clark and Cowlitz
counties, where serious fires have
destroyed two farms and the wat
er supply for the town of Camas
has been impaired, forcing the
tapping of emergency sources.
