Rage in Forests IVoiihwert Wood from Mon tana to Columbia River Ablaze Lightning Starts Conflagrations. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4. From the Rocky mountains in Montana to ihe Columbia river in Washington, and up to 100 mile from the Cana dian border, thousands of men are fighting against foreit fire which erm to have nature on their aide. The particularly dry, hot, aummer weather of the past two montht, winch reached its climax in thunder torm lately, has made the foreit condition extremely critical Light ning which accompanies the storms lia started more fires than the rain has checked, and in most inaccessible places. Jumps Idaho Line. A fire in Kaniku forest, eastern Washington. last night had jumped the Idaho line, covering 750 acres, threatening the forest experiment station. The fire, according to latest official reports, was headed north cast, through valuable government timber. This fire is fightable, how ever, and is not like several of the blazes started by lightning. One-of the latter in the hills at the head of the St. Joe river is reported assum ing tremendous' proportions, but Is o inaccessible as to make fighting it almost impracticable. Twenty-five other fires started by lightning at the head of the Lacksaw fork of the Clear Water river have been reported under control. Still' Spreading. In Montana, in the southwestern corner of Glacier National park, a fire has burned over 70 acres, in addition to over 1,000 acres in the Blackfeet forest, in excellent stands of timber. At latest reports it was still spreading. Few reports of persons killed or farms destroyed have been received. With the exception of the fires far ther south, most of the blazes have been in yovernmcnt forests or in private reserves. Fight Worst Fires. At Olympia yesterday Assistant State Forester Theodore Goodyear said the state of Washington was "practically helpless before the fire menace." Calls for help, lie added, often must go unheeded with the fire wardens attempting to save what, they can, fighting the worst fires and leaving those lest dangerous to spend themselves. llMm4 a. riM imrm act JICCS AND MA Wit IN tVU. fAQl Of COLOM IN TNC iUNDAV tl . rm7 WHAT ARC "vog doinu; vlTH THT THN in THIa HOUSE DAAE.PLAY -1 IT I f I OONT KNOW HOW TO LVf c 1 II II I I I I m ? ioon-t MlfVJ I KNOW HOW I TO PLeW IT.
