Southern sources reported that spot
holders had virtually withdrawn their

storage booms at the sorting gap
ct the mouth of the river. He
also asked that all loose logs in
the river be gathered up from a
point one mile above this city be-
fore freezeup timo as it was i'm
possible to keep the logs out Of
the channel kept open by the
boats after that time.
Huntington Taylor, speaking
for the Rutledge Timber company,
the largest single owner of logs
in the river, stated that company
would make an investigation with
a view Of getting its logs out Of
the river in the shortest possible
time and suggested that the fume
which his company contemplates
building on Marble Greek would
prove Of benefit in this as the
flow Of logs would be continued
over a longer period of time
rather than sending the entire
drive down at once, as is done
under the present method.
Major Dent asked the timber
interests to get together and form
a plan to clear the river of all
loose logs as soon as possible
after the current subsidies and by
putting them in brailes to be
towed to the sorting gap keep
the river clear for navigation.
lie stated he would take the mat
ter up with Carey & Harper, the
contractors who are taking out
the drive, regarding clearing the
lchannel.

against the blocking Of nayiga-
ton on the st. Joe river by logs

rent in the river at this time the
logs from the Marble Greek drive

tinue the operation Of the Miss

Acres In Two Days.

The forestry Office in this city
reports there are two very serious
fires in its district at the present

are lighting the fire, which is
travelling east on the south slope
OF the hill toward the town.

men to help fight the fire, which
at present is confined to timber
which was burned over in 1910.

keep the fire out of the green
timber.
The other fire in the district
of the local forestry Office is on
Cedar Greek, about two miles
above Falcon. Two hundred men
2Fe engaged in fighting this fire
~ the present time and a call
&as been sent to Spokane for an
additional 400 fire-fghters. This
fire started Tuesday night and it
was reported Thursday to the
forestry Office that it had already
covered 900 acres. This fire is
also on land which was burned
over in 1910 and the men are
fighting hard to keep it from the
green timber.
The forestry service is draw
ing on the emergency warehouses
in Spokane and Missoula for
equipment with which to fight the
fires. The warehouse at Spokane
is equipped to outfit about COO
hre-fghters and the one at Mis-

FIND NOTHING UNUSUAL
IN CONDITION IN SOUTH
Federal Officials Say Reports Of OPP
position to Draft Are
Exaggerated.
NO WIDESPREAD TROUBLE
Situation in North Carolina and
Georgia Little Different From That
Existing In Other States - No
Basis for Charges Found.
rBv Associated Press. j

WASHINGTON, August 3.--Depart-
mcnt OF Justice officials investigating
the activities OF persons In North
Carolina. Georgia and other Southern
States, in spreading sentiment hostile
to the draft law. said to-day that they
had found nothing unusual In the
situation in the South thus far. Field
investigators. however. are still at
work there as they are In other Sec
lions of the United States.
Reports or widespread opposition in
North Carolina to the draft and OF
alleged combinations OF farmers and
other persons there to resist the opera
ton of the law. were regarded by Of
ficials as exaggerated. Tho situation
in North Carolina and Georgia. II was
said, is but little different from that
in many other States where opposition
to the law is not general. and has been
found TO exist only in sporadic in
stances.
No arrests have been reported from
North Carolina or Georgia to the de-
partment as yet. and so far as officials
here know, none is contemplated in
tho immediate future. Should the in
vcstigation result, however, in fur
nishing the basis for charges, arrests
will be made.
