Statistics Show That 80 Per Cent of Fires in Southern Oregon Were Caused by Careless' Hunters To Prevent This. In the struRglo of a belief: shared also by officers of the United States forest sorvlco, that SO per cent of tho forest fires last summer were caused by fires left burning by care less hunters, Representative-elect John A. Westerlund is framing a bill for presentation at tho next session of tho stato legislature calling for tho changing of theo penlng of tho hunting season until after the com mencement of the fall rains. Investigations Instituted by tho government and state forestry depart monts following tho disastrous fires of last summer show beyond slsputo that almost all of tho fIres which originated at any great'distanco from tho railroad right of ways or trav eled roads were caused by smoul dering ashes loft by campers and the bill is framed to preclude the possibility of any more" such disas ters occurring from this source. Without excoption tho more ex perienced hunters questioned, with regard to tho attitudo with which tho followers of Nlmrod will take tho propesd now law, say that they will liot oppose It. As It is easier to track aftor tho first fall rains than it is before tlioni, few of tho better hunters venturo out until tho ground has boon wet down anyway, most of the hunting started tmmei'latcly fol lowing tho presont oponlng, in the ?aso of deer on July 15 being done by the youngor element and the "tenderfoot," who strains at tho 'cash for ulno consecvutive months and then sponds tho open season In noisily dragging a cumbersome out 'It through the woods until, exhaust ed, ho roturns and 'disgustedly an nounces "no game."

Tho actual value of tho lumbor ijsed In building oporations and for other purpouos during 1910 is not procurable, but tho increased con sumption is based by tho lumbor morchnnts on tho rolativo amount or material handled during tho year.
