TIMBER OF WASHINGTON
MENACEO BY FIRE LOSSES
Fires Apparently Harmless One Day
May on the Next Become Roaring
COnfagratiOns.

w. B. Bailey, formerly connected
with the fire warden's department,
reviews losses by fire and dangers
to the timber industry by reason of
carelessness. After giving figures on
amount of timber in state, the an
nual cut and the annual loss by fire,
Mr.. Bailey says:
MANY people do not realize the
danger of fire in timber. Fires that
are apparently harmless one day, may
on the next be famed by high winds
into roaring conflagrations, sweeping
over the country for miles, destroying
homes, crops and lives of the inhab-
itants. Millions of dollars worth OF
property may be destroyed human
lives sacrificed, and all through lack
of exercising carefulness. This has
been the history of crest fire losses
in the pat. and it may occur again.
If it were not for the upervision exer-
cised by the forest fire service organ
izations, a repetition of such ccnfia-
grations could be looked for each sue
ceeding year.
"Organized effort and cooperation
on the part of the various forest pro-
tective agencies. are the greatest fac
tors in forest fire prevention today.
Earnst cooperation by the individual
with all organized effort for the pre-
vention of fire will tend to decrease
the annual lass from FIRE. and insure
a continuance of the great lumber in
dustry of the nation"

DEPRECIATION DUE ID ENDORSEMENTS

Cut in Steel Plates and Closing of Three Anaconda Mines Testify to Unsettled Con-
 dition of Many Lines
By Associated Press

New York, September 29.--Extension of the recent readjustment in the vari- ous commodity and merchandise mar kets was primarily responsible for the further irregular depreciation of quoted values on stock exchange today
 One of the significant developments of the session, as affecting the general credit situation, was the news that the federal reserve bank of Kansas City had advanced discounts Liberty bonds and Victory notes from five and one-half to six Der cent.
 Local bankers were of the opinion that institutions at other reserve cen ters may deem it necessary to resort to similar measures as a partial safe guard against undue expansion of loans.
 Announcement of additional price re- vision by automobile manufacturers, a sharp cut in steel plates and sus2en- sion of operations at three of the mines of the Anaconda Copper Company tes- tified to xhe unsettled condi ton in many lines of raw and fabricated ma- terials.
 The Iron Age confirmed reports of further shrinkage of iron and steel buying, due chiefly to the state of the lTdue anu DFeulCllOnS were freely made of an early reduction in pig iron and refined copper.
 Stocks opened at materially higher levels, especially in the transporta ion division, but reacted abruptly before mid day when heavy selling, partly of professional origin, was resumed throughout the entire list.
 Variable rallies ensued in the final dealings, regardless of a rise in all loans to eight per cent
 Foreign exchange moved against home centers, the London rate falling almost three cents under it's maximum of the early week. Prospective arrival of very large assignment of British gold to strengthen the reserves of the federal reserve bank was announced.
 Speculative rails and local fractions were strong features of the bond mar ket, Liberty issues showing mixed changes, with no especial alteration of international prices. Total sales rar STalue, aggregated $15,775,000.
 Old U. s. bonds remained unchanged son call.

SEAB0ARD BUYING OF
 WHEAT HAS BULLISH
 EFFECT ON MARKET
Scantiness of Offerings In Pit Tends to Draw More Attention to Sea
 board Buying Than Would
 Have Been Case Otherwise
By Associated Press

Chicago September 29.--Sea board buying of wheat, together with frosty weather likely to affect the corn crop to some extent, had a bullish effect to- day on grain values. Wheat closed strong. 1h d3c net higher, with De- cember s2,24A @2.24% and March s22o Corn gained l $ G2Mc ats 5s@1Hc and provisions 100 16c.
 Scantiness of offerings in the wheat pit tended to draw more attention to seaboard buying than might otherwise have been the case. The cautious dis position of sellers was in turn ascribed in some degree to gossip of a possible scarcity of wheat at domestic milling points between now and next June. ow- ing to large export shipments Imports from Canada to the United States. nec- essary in consequence, appeared to be widening out. Bullish sentiment was also. noticeably augmented by the strength of coarse grain, a considerable percentage of corn being still liable to damage from widespread frost expected tonight
 Corn strength reflected the official forecast that the frost area would stretch eastward across the Mississippi to Indiana. Besides, month-end even ing up by September shorts continued Oats were lifted by the upturn of corn
 Improved cash demand helped to rally provisions from setback due to lower quotations on hogs.

New York September 29.-(Special.) )- When the newly drilled well on the prop erty of the Texas Company began to yield 26,00J barrels of oil a day one of the executives of this company said upon inquiry that while it was true that the well was yielding 2t,oOo barrels day, not 30,000 as was first reported, never theIess no one could tell how long it would continue to yield as much or whether the day was near or remote when it would stop flowing.
 Already this phenomenal well has yield ed oil enough since it began to flow late in July to represent large increase in the earnings of this company. But the officers confessed that they might hear any day that the well was exhausted. Reports have been in circulation that this well continues to flow yielding as much as 5000 barrels day of oil. But these reports were incorrect, for excellent authority this morning said that the very contingency which the managers of the company confessed might develop at any time did recently appear. This stupend- ous well of a sudden ceased flowing. Whether the management at first sus- pected that the oil was exhausted or whether the stoppage was due to other causes is not known. It remained quies- cent for the greater part of single day. Then oil began to flow through the valve at the top and has continued flowing in this way, for some days yieldins about 5000 barrels of oil a day Tho management confesses that this is one of the strange phenomena which occa- sonally appear to oonfoundl those who direct the oil industry When asked why it is an unusual, almost unprecedented phenomena, reply was made this morning by means of detailed explanation.
 Tn that oil producing region and partic- ularly in the development of it by the Texas company, the wells are custom arily drilled by the so-called rotary pro- cess. This differs from the direct pro- cess in the fact that by the direct pro- cess the drill is driven straight down and as if continues to penetrate the earts. additional sections are attached.
 Tn the other method, the well is drilled by means of rotary movement As it gets deeper and deeper tubes usually four inches in diameter are carried down un- til at last the drill which is at the end strikes oil and production begins
 Oil in almost unsurDassed amounts be- gan daily to flow to the surface from this rev Texas well and as adequate means were taken to secure the oil if there were any yield no matter how rapidly it

Dialy Fincianal Gossip
By HOLLAND

Lowed, none of it was lost. Then of sGdden, as was said above, the vet ceased flowing. It was question wheth- CT it would be expedient to abandon 1t and drill nearby new well or whether investigation should be continued 50 that it might be learned whether the stoppaSe was que tc sudden exhaustion of the oil or to other causes.
 It was not exhaustion of the oil and the very fact that it stopped flowing of a sudden, instead of gradually decreasing it's yield, was sufficient to convince the management that oil was still there far beneath the surface. Careful investiga- tion was made and this was followed by the discovery that the stoppage of the flow of oil was occasioned by the caying in from the casing thereby building up a perfect dam against the flow of oil.
 WHAT WAS TO BE DONE?
 The next question for the expert was one whose answer involved a demonstra- tion of the way by which this dam-like obstruction could be removed. So that the danger of fire would be eliminated a very large mound of earth was placed oyer the orenlng of the well at the sur face. Through that extended one of the pipes at the end of which was valve,
 The enormous pressure caused by the oil was sufficient to enable it to force it's way through two small openings in the drill each less than an inch in d. ameter Having penetrated these open ngs, the oil was forced up until 1t reached the valve at the surface and then began to pour forth. Now 1t IS yielding, according to this authority, ap- proximately 5000 barrels of oil day This, of course, is a great falling off from the 26.00O-barrel yield which was maintained from the opening of the well until the stoppage. but on the other hand it is q profitable yield and furthermore makes it certain that the oil has by no means been exhausted. It may be there fore that when the Instructions are re- moved this well will again flow at the rate of 26,O00 barrel a day.
 When commenting upon this almost un- precedented phenomenon the executive O. the Texas Company said this morning that it all tends to show that the future of the oil industry is a problem No body can tell what that future will prove to be. The leaders in the industry are in one sense going on in the dark. They are hopeful, but they are not ab- solutely confident. Wells that spurt forth at the beginning thousands of bar rels of oil suddenly cease flowing and fields which offered excellent promise have become in little while worthless.
