FOREST FIRES ARE
REPORTED IN OREGON
PORTLAND, Aug. 15.—The for
estry officials are onw working to
control many forest fires that have
broken out in ths state.
1 he lumber i.onipanies whose men
are on strike declare that these
fires are of incendiary Origin, but
so far they have nothing to how
that tliis is anything else hut a sup
position.
As these fires during the dry
spell are an annual occurrence and
very frequent here as well as In
Washington, there does not appear
to be any ground for holding that
these fires are of an incendiary
nature. The officials however are
investigating all of them so far
without confirming the lumber com
panies’ assertion.

asperating the mine companies and j
trouble is feared.
The companies show no disposition i
to concede to the men although the ,
shut down is complete. They had '
pinned their faith to the last that j
the smelter men would not walk
out. It is now known that they had
received assurances to that effect
from their stool pigeons.
It is reported here this evening
with what truth cannot be vouched
for, that the government may take
over the mines during the course of
the war in order that the copper
production may not in any way be
hampered.
