Portland, Ore.. Sept. 16. Great destruction resulted today from two forest fires in Oregon and Washing ton. Forty miles southeast of Portland, in the Mount Hood National forest, 19 thousand acres were burned over, at least five residences were destroy ed, and a hotel and two school houses were reduced to ashes in fires that started a week ago. Only a fortunate change in the wind saved the city of Estacada, 35 miles southeast of Portland, from destruction. Flames had advanced to within five miles of it before the wind slackened and permitted fire fighters to take a fresh stand. In Clark county, Washington, a great fire in the Yacolt area imperil ed the once busy lumbering town and drove more than two hundred residents from their homes. Those fighting the fire sent out an appeal for the assistance of nine hundred army troops stationed at Vancouver barracks. The situation, residents said, was beyond their control. The communities of La Barre, Gar field," Ladee and Fenton were hit hard by the same fire that menaced Estacada. World-Herald. - APPLE HARVEST IS ON Shubert. Neb.. Sept. 16.
