The nature of the trouble was not ascertained Immedi ately. Burning under a Copco trunk line for a mile In the hills near Butte Palls, the fire last night caused a short circuit that threw the trunk line switches out momentarily. The line waa not burned and It was thought that probably gasses from the fire had caused the short. No domestic or commercial service was affected. The state forest fire at Round Top In Evans valley was partially held In check today. The fire now covers more than 1,000 acres of timber and fallen trees. .A force of ISO men bat tled the flames today. Flra lines on the Round Top blaze were being held this afternoon though the fire was not under con trol, the warden's office reported. If the lines could be held throughout the afternoon and evening. It was thought the fire could be brought under control tomorrow. The Bull creek fire south of Wllder vllle in Josephine county flared out of control thla morning. Thirty men, mostly loggers, were fighting the blaze. Smoke Fills Valley With forest fires raging all around southern Oregon, the valley was en veloped In smoke and even Roxy Ann could not be seen from downtown Med ford. The setting sun lost night looked like a disc of blood. Because of the low visibility caused by the smoke. Rogue River national forest headquarters put on all emer gency guards for the second time In a week. The guards were patrolling all parts of the forest to aid the look outs whose range of visibility In some Instances was reduced to zero. The larger of the two fires In the Huckleberry mountain burn on the Rogue River national forest was re ported under control this morning The smaller fire, covering an acr$, was entirely out. The larger Huckleberry fire covered 60 acres of heavy brush 12 feet blgh. It was possible a re-burn would occur within the fire lines this afternoon but It was thought control would be maintained, headquarters here said. Fight AM Mr lit One hundred men and two bull dozers worked on the fire all night and built a mile and a half of 8-footr trench around the blaze. Fifty of the 100 men were held on the- fire this morning until they were relieved by 80 fresh firefighters. Twenty-two men mopped up the smaller fire. H. C. Obye, assistant supervisor, and W. L. Jones, construction super intendent, spent the night on the fire lines helping Slmerl Jarvl, who went to the scene at 4 a. m. yester day. The brush fire near the city pump In Gold Hill was reported out this morning. The city fire department and volunteers brought it under con trol last evening. I'lnnes Ciroiintled The pall of smoke over the valley, reducing visibility like fog. Held seven army reserve corps planes at Medford municipal airport after their arrival from the north this morning. Rogue River national forest head . quarters dispatched an additional 160 men by truck last night to Orleans, Cal., to help fight fires on the Klam ath national forest. A bus was sent from here late last night to convey 30 men from Grants Pass to the Chetco fire on the Siskiyou national forest.

The flra has covered 3500 acres and was breaking away to the south and west. The situation was described as the "worst In ttie whole forest, straight up and down and extremely dangerous to men not accustomed to mountain fires." One of the Portland men who came here looking for a fire fighting Job said he had never climbed a hill higher than the city's gentle Mount Tabor. The North Plains fire in Washing ton county ceased to be troublesome last night. A dozen Portland homes were threatened yesterday before a 30- aere brush and grnss fire was quelled at Sixty-first avenue and Barbur boulevard.
