Many Forest Fires.

WASHINGTON, Oct. (Associated
Press) The weather elements are not
acting right. That Is the only explana-
tion the United States Weather Bureau

great portion OF the country. Meteor
logically speaking. the winds and the
barometric pressures are acting contrary
to nature. The air is sluggish and there
is little movement in high or low strata,
consequently the moisture bearing air
cannot journey over the country.
With the exception of California and
the northern Pacific coast, Florida and
the east Gulf coast, few areas have had
any rain-to speak of for four or five
weeks.
While there has been no great crop
damage. great loss has been caused by
forest fires. Inhabitants Of forested
areas in this country and in Canada
have been subject to added menace.
In northern Ontario 5000 persons
| forest fires have been reported. Because
| termined number are feared to have per-
ished. three towns have been wiped out
and at least four others partially de-
| stroyed. Tentative estimates of the prop
erty loss reach into millions
| In northern Minnesota, more than 100
forst fires have been reported. Because
of the danger of fires. Gov. Baxter OF

closed. At Penobscot Bay. tests OF
