16 2500 NEN BATI OREEON FLAMES Fourteen National Forests of ' State Closed to Thwart Incendiaries. By the Assoclated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., September 11.— ‘While officials took measures to prevent the setting of more man-made fires by closing all 14 national forests in the State today, more than 2,500 weary men sought vainly to stem the advances of the fire demon in many places in West- ern Oregon. One blaze, small but ominous, had crept within the southeastern limits of Portland. Another, far more destruc- tive, was eating its way into a stand of 40 square miles of the finest timber in the State. Still another was threat- ening a large idle mill of the Portland Dollar Lumber Co. at Mable, near Eugene, while settlers along Wolf Creek in Lane County had abandoned their possessions " after a blaze in the Senell- strom timber holdings broke through weakened fire lines. Flames Jump River. Forester G. M. Granger said the Duckabush fire, in the Olympic National Forest of Washington, had jumped the Duckabush River and was raging over an area of about 4,000 acres. More than 150 men were fighting the blaze, and reinforcements were to be sent out today. The Dole fire, near Camas, continued to threaten settlers in the Upper Little Washougal district and menaced the Columbia National Forest. Because of the dryness the fire was reported to be progressing east in the face of a wind from that direction. The Colville, Chelan and Columbia Forests, in Washington, were ordered closed today simultaneously with all Oregon national reserves. The Olym- ple, Wenatchee and Rainier Forests, in ‘Washington, were previously closed. Counties Hardest Hit. Coos and Curry Counties, on the edge of the Pacific, were hardest hit in Oregon. Fire wardens in that district | were to make a survey of the fire sit- uation there today. One blaze alone in that area was de- fying the efforts of 500 men to stay its advance into thousands of acres of Port Orford cedar, worth millions of Kansas Anti-Saloon League Head Plans To Summon House Wishes Him to Tell All He Knows About Drinking Conditions in Topeka. By the Astoclated Tress. TOPEKA, Kans., September 11.—Rev. J. A. McClellan, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Kansas, yester- day advised Jay House, Philadelphia newspaper columnist, by letter that the next time the latter visited Topeka he would have him summoned before State and county attorneys to “tell all you know about drinking conditions” here. ‘The letter was published today, along with others from House to the superin- tendent, in which the newspaper man and former mayor of Topeka sald he was served liquor in 13 of 14 private homes of “the best people in town,” in which he was entertained while visiting the city last Winter. “I believe it will be advisable—in fact, absolutely necessary—to arrange for a private Mvestigator to cover every home you make on your next visit to Topeka,” the Rev. Mr. McClellan wrote. “Perhaps we can in this manner secure more additional information besides what you will give to the attorney gen- eral and county attorney.” In one of his letters Mr. House esti- mated that in Topeka “there is an aver- age of four drinking parties to the city block every night in the year.” He said drinking among Topeka women had in- creased 1,000 per cent in the past 20 years and that after 48 years of prohi- bition in Kansas “the youngest genera- tion is much the ablest in the matter of total consumption and the weakest in the matter of carrying lquor like a ‘gentleman.” Swiss Adhere to Pact.

Fire wardens said the blaze was of incendiary origin.
