AS TO FOREST FIRES.
L. 13RTCKSON, supervisor in charge, Crater National
forest, has completed his arrangements to carefully
M.
guard the forest from any great loss this season by t'iro,
and will endeavor to keep his record up to its standard of
last year, when the Crater forest suffered a smaller loss
in this regard than any in the northwest, But in order
to do this he must have the support of all who enjoy the
camping privileges in the forest, for the camp fire is the
chief cause of forest fires fires which in a year destroyed
on an average $40,000,000 worth of timber in the United
States.
Along this lino the Oregon Journal receutly published
some startling truths when it said:
One of the most splendid of all the resources of Oregon
is the forests. The five states of Idaho, Montana, Wash
ington, Oregon and California contain half the merchant
able timber of the United States, and in the group Oregon
is a leading state as to forests. The presence of Oregon
forests is heightened by the fact that the climatic and soil
conditions are the best in the world for timber growth.
This enables the state to excel other states in the timber
industry, and it is an incentive to Oregon to husband her
forests because of the enormous advautage it will give her
in the creation of wealth and the enrichment of population.
The lumber production of the five states is one-fifth
that of the entire country and is increasing. It already
brings in $125,000,000 a year, chiefly in the wages for
labor, and this great sum goes into circulation among the
people. It is an incomparable asset for the production of
wealth and one that is of the utmost importance to hus
band and conserve.
The subject is one for reflection on account of the near
approach of the season for forest fires. It is estimated
that the destruction of timber by fire annually aggregates
$40,000,000. It is literally $40,000,000 a year in money con
verted into ashes. It is the toll we pay for carelessness.
Hunters throw away a half consumed match, travelers
leave smoldering embers in their campfires and settlers
permit fires lighted in slashings to get beyond control.
It is as destructive and costly a waste as would be a torch
deliberately applied to a $40,000,000 city. The black smoke
rolling up from the forests is as ugly in contemplation as
though it were the smoke from burning bank bills. It is
a waste than can be almost wholly prevented with average
care of those who frequent the forests. There is not one
of them who would think of throwing a burning match on
the carpet or among the hangings of a home. But such a
match thrown in the dry rubbish of the timber is the des
truction of many homes.
In consequence of the murders des
cribed, a spirit of alarm necessarily
spread itself throughout the country.
The miners of tho Applegate, Foots
and other creeks abandoned their pla
ces and come into Jacksonville for
protection. The settlers In various
directions did the same, of those who
were better prepared, "forting up,"
with the intention of resisting the
Indian's attacks. Tho people who
thus prepared to defend themselves
were gathered mainly at T'Vault's
place, (the Dardanelles), N. C. Dean's
(Willow Springs),. Martin Angell's,
now Captian Barnes, and Jacob Wag
ner's, in Upper Bear creek valley.
As soon as possible a military com
pany was formed in Jacksonville, hav
ing Ben Armstrong as captain, and
John P. Miller, B. B. Griffith and
Able George as lieutenants and C. E.
Drew as quartermaster. But within
a few days this organization was sus
pended by orders, a company of home
guards taking most of tho men. This
latter company was under the com
mand of W. W. Fowler. A largo pro
portion of the houses outside of Jack
sonville were deserted by their own
ers, and these were mostly burned by
roving parties of the savages, who
were scattered for a few days all over
the valley.
The people were compelled to seek
assistance from wherever it may be
procured and w'th this view dispatch
ing messengers to Fort Jones, tho
newly established military post near
Yreka, Tho messenger arrived there
on the eighth of August, and Captian
B. R. Aldon, 4th U. S. Infantry, com
manding Fort Jones, Instantly set out
for tho scene of hostilities with a very
small force of Infantry, not moro
than twenty men all told, but with
forty or fifty muskets, and a supply
of cartridges. Simultaneously a large
number of volunteors presented them
selves at Yreka and agreed to serve
under tho command of Captain J. P.
Goodall and Jacob Rhoades, well
known as Indian fighters. Captain
Goodall's company numbered nlnoty
men, all mounted, as were those of
Rhoades' company, which was about
sixty stroug. Unfortunately tho must
er rolls of theao two companies havo
been lost, so that It Is impossible to
present tho nam.es of tho members.
Of Captain Goodall's company a par
tial list only Is glvon which will bo

be found in an appropriate place.
The volunteers raised in Southern
Oregon were six companies In all, hav-
Jlng as captain, R. L. Williams, J. K.
Lamertck, John F. Miller, Ellas A.
Owens, and W. W. Fowler. Thoy
were ordered with the exception of
Fowler's company, which was raised
exclusively for the protection of Jack
sonville, and which did no outside ser
vice to rendezvous at Camp Stewart.
An organization was hero effected and
the troops, the most formidable, and
numerous body of men yet seen in
this part of Oregon, assumed the som
blaume of an army. Each volunteer
furnished, as a matter of course, his
own riding animal and equipments.
A quartermaster's department was ex
temporized for tho occasion, and B. F.
Dowell became master of equipments
and transportation. Captain Aldon,
which of the volunteers assumed com
mand of tho whole force, whoso num
ber probably reached thrco hundred
men. All tho volunteers were of
course without uniforms, wearing
nearly their ordinary clothes, and car
rylng rifles and pistols as dissimilar
In pattern as their own garments.
Their saddlo animals were horses and
mules. It would be difficult to con
ceive a body of soldiers more irregu
lar in typo than tho "army" at Camp
Stewart; but it would oqually fighting

were capable of tho greatest services.
Tho successful issuo of their expedi

Meanwhile, tho malcontents who
wore scatteroJ about tho valley doing
much damago in tho way of burning
houses, barns, fences, etc., loft that
employment and sought security with
Joo, Sam and other chiefs, who woro
gathered at Table Rock, making what
preparations thoy could against tho
threatened attack of tho whites, Thoy
selected a naturally strong position
and fortified it with considerable
skill, digging a ditch, rearing a wall
of rocks and earth, and othorwlso
