The Timber Reserve Fires Are Decreasing

The Timber Reserve Fires Are Decreasing
From the Dufur Dlspatch.l
The impression on the public mind
that there haYe been more destructive
fires In the Cascade reserve 10 the
vicinity OF Mt. Hood, this year than
In former years, is probably not based
on the facts OF the case. IL Is true
the matter has been more In the
public mind than formerly, perhaps
because OF the governments action In
relation thereto being more discussed,
aud because one u our nelghbors has
been appointed to.superlntend thlspor-
tlon OF reserve. O.C. Yocum, who has
been on the reserve much of the time
since 1883, and who has assembled the
mountain many times each summer In
the capacity OF guide, aud whose
headquarters are at the government
camp, says there have not been near
so many fires this season as in
Others, and In proof cites the
fact that at no time during this sea-
son has Mt. Shasta, 800 miles distant.
been obscured by smoke, while other
seasons IL has been. He further says
that II the rangers get on the ground
earlier In the season IN the years 10
come, that the fires will be few aud
far between. Mr.. Yocum has made
twenty.one hscents OF Mt. Hood slnce
the second OF July last.
