WESTERLUND
10 URGE LATER
DEER SEASON
Will Introduce Bill in Legislature to
Make Season Open Later, Which
Will Cut Down Forest, Fires to a
Great Degree.
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 Increase- In 1009 over tho pre

at about GO por cent.
Tho actual value of tho lumbor
ijsed In building oporations and for

procurable, but tho increased con

Tho orders for buildings to bo

gethor with tho estimates for tho
