Polk County Fires Under Control
Fire Warden W. V. Fuller reports
this morning that all of the timber
fires in the Western part of Polk c0un-
ty are practically under the control of
the patrolmen and fire fighting crews
of the logging companies. One big fire
the first of the week threatened to do
serious damage to property of the Val
ley & Siletz railway company but was
extinguished by the fire fighters be-
fore it had gained much headway. Mr..
Fuller advises people to keep out OF
the woods during these dry times as
match carelessly dropped may start
fire that would not only cause a num-
Der of dee tbs but would also destroy
the entire timbered section of the
county owing to the extreme dry con-
dition of the timber.
