Haywood, general secretary and treasurer of that organization, lie stated tonight he received telegrams from all pails of the country endors ing a general strike In retaliation for the iMichlug or Frank Little in Butte, Mont, Haywood refused to state how many nu n would bo affected In case a strike was called, hut said that more thau "S.OOtHnen are out now, A gen eral strike, he said, could be accom plished only by individual nctlnn of I. W. W. branches. The Jackson County Fire Patrol association is considering the advisa bility of asking Governor Withy eombe to delay the opening of Ihe dKervhuntlng season from August 15, until such time as all danger of for est fires Is past. Unless rain falls soon this aetlon is sure to be taken. This Tact, together with the news that the forest fires situation ,jn the county is much Improved today, and the further fact that It has been discovered that. a number of the re cent forest Tires were of incendiary origin, are the features In the fire sit uation today. - "The association is merely consid ering asking the governor to post pone the hunting season," said State Supervising Fire Warden Grieve this noon. "The. forests are so dry now that there is grave danger at lujiny fires being started accidentally by hunters. We only want the hunting season postponed Until the fire risk danger period is past. Of course, if we should have a good rain over the county, there would be no occasion for such a request. Too Dry for Hunting. "If it should, be. necessary to delay the opening of the hunting, no hard ship would be worked on the deer hunters; as it is too dry for hunting. The forest fire risk Is greater thl season than In 1910, which was con sldered one of the worst of years in this regard. The dry period this sea son is much longer than It was that year." . . ; , . There Is also a probability that Oregon hunters may be shut off from hunting for a time in California, as there is a move on In Klamath coun ty and neighboring counties In Cali fornia to request that the California hunting season be delayed because of the fire danger resulting from I. W W. troubles. "The forest fires situation In this county is much improved today," said Warden Grieve this noon. "The cool nights have aided us greatly In get ting control of the many fires. Last night there was a heavy frost up in the mountain districts. Most of the serious fires are burning slowly and aro being restricted to cortaln areas. One new fire was reported yesterday in the south end of the county on Split Rock Creek at the head of the Little Applegate." Fires incendiary. According to Women Grieve evi deuce has been discovered that number of the forest fires were start ed purposely by local residents, and this evidence will be laid before the next grand Jury. Why did they set these fires?" ro peated Grieve. "The reasons are tin known. However, it looks to be fire mania on the part of several, and with others it might be because they thought that the fires they set would make better hunting and grazing. This fallacy, however, has long since been exploded. Some of the old burns of past years are the worst brush heaps we have In the county. "One of our worst fires near Pros pect was set by a resident In that vi rlnity at 3 p. m. Sunday. He crossed to the south side of Rogue river, went to an almost inaccessible place as far fire-fighting is concerned nnd started the blaze. At least one fire in tho Applegate was incendiary. We have absolute proof of this. There Is a large fire In the hills behind Jack sonvlllo which because of the thick smoko we only discovered Monday night. It had been burning for sev era) days and has covered about 1000 acres. This also may have been in cendlary. but we are not certain."

An echo of the break? in the Fish lake dnm which flooded Little Htttte creek and put Medford' water system out of commission for several days, came up in the shape of ft coumiunication from C.-Ij.
