ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. j

Duluth, Mimi, June 4 Virtually
all sections of the northeastern
Minnesota brush and timber fire area
were visited by showers oyer the
week end. Hundreds Of guards
working under rangers and patrol
men had the fires well checked when
the rain came and the emergency
has been declared over with the ex-
ception of a few of the larger fires.
A light rain was falling in the inn
medidiate vicinity of the Head Of the
Lakes this forenoon and the local
district office of the state forest
|service as checking the ranger
stations to determine the extent OF
the area covered by the shower.
Release Emergency Guards
John H. Nelson, district supervisor
has advised patrolmen and township
fire wardens to Immediately re-
lease as many of the emergency
guards as could be spared. The
district payroll has run into several
thousands of dollars since the fires
broke out two weeks ago. The Su-
perior national forest also has main

fire fighters at an expense of hun

Of the spring forest fires season has

today, according to reports reaching

ester. A week ago there were more
than one hundred fires burning in
the forest district of Northern Min.
nesota, while today there are lessl
than half that number and few Of
these are Of serious proportions. Mr..
Cox said. In the meantime hundreds
of small fires. covering an area of.
from one to forty acres each have
been extinguished In what the state
forester characterized as one of the
best ereanized fights In the history
II the Minnesota forestry service.
There have been local showers
generally in the ffre district in the
last two days, the state foresters
said today, but in most cases the
precipitation has been light and of
little consequence in extinguishing
the flames. Only a heavy downpour
lasting several hours will eliminate
the fire danger.
Nr. Cox returned Sunday night
from the north woods where he has
been experimenting the forest fire
