ble from the tire. 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. This brought the total sent
from here to 410 men for the Klam
ath and 60 for the Siskiyou. Rogue
headquarters, however, announced
that they are not employing fire
fighters.
