OPEN UP NEW APPLE MARKET
Reduced Rates Will Allow Oregon
Growers to Ship to Canada.

Reduction in the freight rates for
moving apples from points in Oregon
and Washington to stations on the
Canadian Pacific has just been an
.nounced and is expected to result in
opening a new and profitable market
to the fruit growers Of these two
states.
The cut varies from 25 cents TO 45
cents, according to the destination Of
the shipments, according to the Ore
gonian, and is intended to be great
enough in every instance to enable
Oregon and Washington to compete
with Canadian and Eastern prod
ucts.
II. L. Cardle, general agent Of the
freight department Of the Canadian
Pacific in Portland, has just return
ed from a trip through the fruit
growing districts Of Oregon and
Washington, and has arranged to
handle heavy movement OF fruit
into Canada in the next few months.
The Canadian Pacific last year
moved more than 100 carloads Of
fruit from the Northwest 10 points
on the main line of that system. Most
Of this consisted Of apples. There is
likely to be a greatly increased
movement this year.
''The demand for Oregon fruit is
as great in Canada as it is in the
East, /" declared Mr.. CardIe yester-
day. "Iittle fruit is grown along
our line now and many sections that
may become fruit producers them
selves later on have not developed
far enough to market anything this
year More than 100000 persons set
tie in the territory served by the
Canadian Pacific every year. They
are not able TO grow fruit enough to
supply their own demand and prefer
the Oregon and Washington products
TO any other sent in.
81 believe we shall double the
Of apples we take out Of
Oregon this year"

DANGER OF FIRE GROWS
DRY WEATHER rs MENACE TO
FORESTS, SAYS EXPERT.
Five Hundred Men Now Employed
In Oregon to Guard
Timber Area.


/ With the summer season well adj
vanced, only two forest fires, both Of
minor consequence, have occurred
in Oregon this season. One Of these
fires was in Wasco County, and the
other in Washington County, but ii
both instances fire fighters connected
with the forest service were prompt
" dispatched, with the result that
both fires were under control before
extensive damage resulted.
Prior to the rains early in July
there were several small slashing
fires, /" said G. S. Chapman, of the
Oregon Forest Fire Association. re-
ports the Oregonian, Nbut they did
little damage. In the Coast sections
the timber is still pretty damp, as a
result Of those showers.
& However, the forests are drying
out thoroughly and in another ten
days there viii be constant danger Of
fires.
Fighters In Field.
Five hundred men are now en-
ployed looking out for forest fires
throughout the state This is a big
increase in the number Of men that
were similarly employed last year.
These fire fighters are in the employ
of the Government, private interests
and the state. They are under the
direction of f. A. Elliott, State For
ester, and are deputized by him with
the full authority vested in him by
the law enacted by the last session Of
the State Legislature, which appro-
priated 100000 to be expended in the
next two years in protecting the for
ests of the state.
Permits Required.
ssThe closed season, when no fires
can be started in the timbered areas
without a permit, went into effect
June l, and will continue until Oc-
tober 1. Permits can be issued only
by deputized wardens attached to the
Office of the State Forester. War
dens throughout the state report that
an unusually large number of camp
ers are now going into the forests Of
the State These people are being
warned against starting fires and
leaving them unattended Therein
lies the danger Of great loss of tim
ber.
!" With the proper cooperation Of
the people Of the state, particularly
campers, in taking every precaution
against starting fires, there is no
question but that the loss TO the state
from forest fires this year win be
Sept at a minimum. The record thus
FAR this season has been most salts
factory, far ahead Of that Of any
'ther year in several seasons.
