SKPTKMBER 5. 1913 -2 FOREST FIRES ON UPPER APPLEGATE The fcderul forestry service now has CO men at work on threatening forest flros In the ApnleKuto district, and today ten more firefighters were lielni; sought In the city to be rushed to the big fire on Congur creek, to reinforce the force 'hut has been at work there for several days. The big forest fire that started In brush In the Carberry creek-Stevens Peak section several days ano, has now spread Into huge proportions and reached Into heavy timber. It has spread in length as Cur as Swans valley which Is 8 or 10 miles west from Stevens I'eak. The lookout at the peak, who1 was forced to flee when the fire started and spread so fast, and who returned to the station later, telephoned today that the peak j was surrounuea on nil sides by lire nnd that he could not get away If ha wanted. Ho has supplies and of course Is now In no danger because of the fire In Its rush having burned over everything In the vicinity of the peak. Tlio big fire at Cougar creek Is burning In brush but Is spreading out considerably. Yesterday word was received at the forestry office here that the flumes were threatening the Middle Fork Applegate bridge on the Cook-n-Green trail. Federal Forest Supervisor Itankln today took personal charge of the crew of 20 men at this fire. There are other smaller flros In the federal forestry district. The Jackson County Fire Patrol Associa tion also has a number of fires In Us territory, but thoy are od minor na ture and are regarded as under con trol.

(Continued r-rom rage One.) moved backiull his heavier artillery. ' Morale Is High The resistance the Americans en countered was from machine guns and airplanes. The densest concentration was along the ridges north of Uazochcs and Flsmette and in at least two In stances dosperute efforts were made to hold back t ho line. The Americans rushed tlio machine guns only In ex ceptional cases. (The spirit of the men had been unimpaired by the long hammering they have had on tlio S'esle line, if anything the effect had been to stim ulate them to a keener desire to get nt the enemy. The day closed with men and officers hopeful ot finishing their pursuit tomorrow. t long Itniige lliimbnrilineiit It Is expected tliat machine gun and perhaps artillery resistance will bo met with on the Alsne. 1-nnt night and this forenoon pass ed, however, with nothing moro ser ious than a long range bombardment of tho Amerlcun rear lines across the Alsno.

Unite Falls stands a fair chance of getting- an increased mail service ac cording to n letter received recently by J lurry K. Mills, manager of the Ittittc Falls Lumber company, from Congressman V. ('. llawley, which reads in part, ns follows: "I'pon receipt of your letter rela tive to increased mail service for Butte Falls I presented the matter to the posloffice departmentt with a fa vorable argument. I was especially impressed with your increase of popu lation and the prospective continued increase. The department states that it has nsked for certain information from the officials with the purpose of extending" the service. If the inform ation reiUesleil seems to warrant and fhe report of the officials is favora ble as I understand, by adding n threo times per week star route ser vice alternating with thivpresent rail way service, which would provide the six times n week service desired." 10 E t'orv bt'hiir entitled to tli-IVrml cltissi- also three new division in class five, fii iitiun and allows them to be plae- j exempting automatical!" persons (Us ed in class three without retMird to h-harcred from military or naval ter their lenirth of service.

THE MAY COMPANY. I )i-coiii fitting news came to the or- chardifts of Med ford ami vicinity tlii- forenoon in u telegram received by K. M. Me Kenny from the Dennis, Kimball A: Pope of New York, warn iny that unless shipments of fruit were cut down for the next three days, an embargo would be placed upon a'l shipments of fruit bv the Krie railroad. The telegram reads as follows: "()win to congestion of the rail roads east of Chicago at a meeting here today of the receivers and rail road officials, it is basolutelv essen tial to cut down shipments the next three days. Otherwise the Krie rail road will put an embargo on fruit." Should the Krie railroad find it neeessarv toput an embargo on that would mean that no fruit 'could be moved into New York while it was in force, s all fruit shipments, especial ly pears, co eastward from C'hiinno on the Krie because that carrier has a monopoly of the bent terminal and auction sale facilities in New York for 'handling fruit. A similar telegram was received by other fruit concerns of the eitv, and the warning will be complied with lite pears have been the only ship ments leaving the past few days, and the telegraphic warning will be com plied with. It is anticipated that no great hndshins will be imposed b reduction in local shipments, and that picking and packimr of late pears will be continued. It does mean thoiiuh that the cold storage capacity of the city will be filled to utmost canac ity, nnd that perhaos not all of the pear crop car. be accommodated in cold storage until shinments can be started again. Twelve cars of eurs were shipned out yttrdnv, making i total of M'2 ears shipped from Medford so far this season. It has been expected that the total would be 400 cars bv Saturday night. Pears will be moving ea tward for three weeks yet, providing the railroad facilities permit. The draft contingent, the names of the members of which were publish ed In Wednesday's Mail Tribune, left for Camp Lewis Inst night to begin their military service. Many rela tives and friends of the boys bade them farewell at the depot.

Sept. 5. Much broader grounds for the establish ment of claims for exemption from military service lire provided in new regulations now bciny worked out by Provost. JDij-slml General I'rowder to fiovern the classification of men between 18 and 4."i whu will register on September 113. Important modifications nre based upon the chnnne of n few words in the original drul'l law made In pass ing tbe new man power act. Tbe term "industrial occupation'' is elim inated and the Inw now provides per sons may be j,-iven deferred classifi cation when engaged "in occupation or employment, including ugriculture, which can be established as necessary to the military establishment or the maintenance of the national interest." Hankers Exempt This section, officials pointed out today, with the regulations constru ing it. will definitely allow district ex emption boards to exempt bankers j nnd essential bank employes, men en gaged in necessary commercial enter prise and neeessarv workers for Ifcd Cross and kindred organizations. The regulations will not attempt sie- ilically to define the status of reg istrants who shall be entitled to ex emption but will allow the boards to work out the details, after the au thorization has been given them. Since the requirement that a man exempted because of his occupation must be of such importance as to threaten the continuance of the enter prise to which he is attached, has re mained, the sum total of exemptions is not expected to seriously effect the man power which will be placed in class one. District boards in npplvin occupa tional exemption regulations will have the assitance of three advisers, indus trial, commercial and Agricultural, who nre now being nominated in ev- ry district. - Only Minor Changes Only minor changes are incorpor ated in the revised ipiestionairc, which I he registrants of September 12 will he required to fill out.
