July 21—(@)—A pall of smoke, rising from the embers of forest and brush fires that have eaten their way across half a million acres of land, shrouded the north- western part of the United States to- day while an army of fire fighters strove desperately to stem the ad- vanée of the most disastrous con- flagations that have beset this section of the country in a decade. The hundreds of widely scattered blazes were being stubbornly resisted by at least 10,000 men, comprising regular forestry employes, govern- ment troops and hastily reeruited volunteers, many of the latter drawn from the ranks of automobile tourists. Eight thousand men have been drawn into battle in California, where 270,000 acres have been burned over, The devastated acreage thus far exceeds by 100,000 acres the amount destroyed during the disastrous dry season of 1924. Of the 650 fires reported thus far, 360 have been man- caused, officials declare. Virgin Timber Burned Northern Idaho and western Mon- tana have suffered heavily. Up- wards of 200,000 acres have been gutted in this region. — Splendiu stands of virgin timber have fallen before the flames in the Kaniksu Pend Onelle, Coeur D’Alene anu Blackfeet forests, and still other vast tracts are threatened by the spread- ing blazes. While many of the small- er fires have been brought under control, the major conflagrations con- tinued to eat their way into new ter- , titory. Prediction of continued hot, dry weather in Washington offered witele | hope for surcease from further de- struction. The amqunt of standing “timber burned has been relatively small. Logged-off lands have been hit hardest.
