FOREST FIRES
 ARE REPORTED
 ON LYNN CANAL
Holbrook Leaves to Survey Area, and to Organize
 Crew if Necessary

Forest fires were yesterday re- ported gaining headway in the upper Lynn Canal district, and Wellman Holbrook, United States Forest Examiner, was sent from here on the Ranger K Capt. Bernie Aiken, to combat them. He was accompanied by Bud Dodson and will employ crew of fire fighters at Haines or Skagway if the situation demands.
 Rainfall in that region, while sufficient to hamper the flames, was not adequate to extinguish them. sadi telegraphic advices re- ceived from Col. Miller, Command ing Officer at Chilkoot Barracks, who reported the fires He added if the weather cleared the fires were likely to sweep a big area of good timber.
 There were three blazas in a small district about six miles south of Skagway on the east shore of Lynn Canal MT. Holbrook took with him two pumps specially de- signed for combating fire in the coastal districts.
