Fire Reports, Received.

Serious fires are raging on the Nez
Perez forest reserve in the western
part of Idaho. Two forest officers
have been to the scene from Missoula
and four from Ogden, Utah.
Reports received from the other for
ests, indicate general Improvement.
The cold nights which now are pre-
valent and the absence of winds are
greatly Facilitating the fire fighting. He
says the safety Of the towns In the
fire district is assured.

Washington, Aug. 27..- Estimating
the cost of the experiment at 100000.
the war department officials declined
requests to order bombardment OF
the skies by all its guns on Puget
sound, and at the mouth of the Column
bia river in an effort to bring on rain
in the burning forests of the North
west. In addition to the objection of
cost, the army officials regarded the
proposal as certain to prove futile.
The navy department, to which a SINH
lar request was made, expressed Its
willingness to cooperate with the
army with six or ten guns, the only
ones at Its disposal.
The experiment would have been
one of the most spectacular ever at
tempted in the United States. The
officials did not feel justified In incur
ring the cost without specific authori-
zation from higher authority, particu-
iarly in view OF the amount already
spent in putting 80 companies Of
troops into the forest to fight the fires.
To fire the biggest guns, in the coast
artillery cost about $3.50 each, it has
been estimated. To fire in Pinch
mortars cost about 500 each.
In addition to the requests forward
ed to Washington by Senator Pyles
and Representative Humphreys, Chief
Forester Graves, now in the West,
telegraphed the war department ash
ing that the petitions be granted II
possible.
