FORESTS ON COAST
RIPE FOR BAD FIRE
Dryness of Woods Alarming
State Officer Says.

Seattle, Aug. 2G.-Eot for three years
have the forests of western Washing
ton been rirer for serious fire damage
than they are at present. according to
state Fire Warden f. F.. Papo here to-
day. Thus far little green timber has
been burned west of the Cascades. but
the number of fires reported each day
appears to he on the increase and the
underground is very dry.
\ force Of approximately 200 men
is engaged in fighting small fires. Two
new fires near Morton and a large
blaze in the second growth timber near
NallEillc, In eastern Pacific county,
were reported today. Small blazes in
eastern Lewis county. while as Vet
responsible for small damage, are Civ
ing the fighters more concern than
any others. The timber there is very
thick, tho population sparse and any
fir" that got out Of control would al
most certainly destroy n large amount
Of valuable timber.

The three local boys who were
camped in the canyon above the fire

one side Of the canyon. one of them,

In town.
No very valuable saw timber has
been burned yet. The ground where
the fire is burning now was swept by
a fire about - years ago. The live
timber is principally small stuff, but
there was q great deal of dead timber,
and this was responsible for the quick
start and spread Of the fire.
