SHOWERS DECREASE
FOREST FIRE DANGER
Conditions in Northern Minne-
sofa Are Regarded as Still
Serious as Wardens Watch

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-(R-While
showers fell Sunday In three counties
Of northern Minnesota ad brought
temporary aid In checking fires. con-
ditions In other sections Of the woods
country still were serious today.
Rain fell In Lake of the Woods
county and the northern part of
K%oochiching and st. Louis counties,
according to reports received today
by A. F. Opel, deputy state forester.
MI. Opel also announced that 500
extra fire fighters have been added
to the force of men battling the
flames, making q total of nearly $500
foresters, game wardens and extra
help now attempting to stem the out
break and keep the fires from spread
ing.
The most serious fire is burning
across the corner boundaries of Ait
kin, Crow Wing and Cass counties,
about IL miles north Of Hill City and
eight miles north of Balm, q small set
Element.
This fire already has eaten its way
through nearly $4,000 acres Of Sec
ondary growth and some first stand
Timber, Deputy Opel said. About 200
men are holding this fire under con-
troll, but are not able to extinguish 1t,
leaving the danger Of a serious out
break should high winds arise.
There is no danger that the fires
will spread to Hill City OF Balm, Dep
uty Opel said, unless in the event of
a strong south wind, and even then
the danger would be remote, he said.
Fires which have been burning near
Duluth and in the Guthrie district
near Bemidji, r nearly extinguished,
Mr.. Opel said. A large force still Is
working on a peat fire near Flood
wood, south of Hibbing, which has
been burning for nearly two weeks
and has covered a wide area. The
fire, while not dangerous, is a stub
born one and four pumps are being
used to halt the flames.
Although some stands OF large tim
Der have been destroyed in the Att
kin fire, the real damage is In loss OF
secondary growth, Deputy Opel said.
In large timber some Of 1t can be
salvaged after the fire has gone
through. but the secondary growth Is
a total loss, he said.
