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."
