P'AflE TWO "MEDFOTCD MATT TRIBUXE, MET)FO"RT, QKEGOy, FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1938. CRATER LAKE PARK IN F I REC0NTR0L All Forest Blazes Kept Un der 10 Acres In Past 8 Years Staff Organized . For Fast, Efficient Work. CRATER LAKE (Spl) Thunder showers may bring relief from sum mer heat but to national park rang ers at Crater lake they bring long hours of extra work. During a recent thunderstorm over the park the rangers were kept busy suppressing forost fires caused by lightning. Rangers under the direc tion of Chief Ranger J. Carlisle Crouch were on duty suppressing 11 lightning flrea all burning at one time. A report from Superintendent E. p, Leavltt's otlloe Indicates that the damage from the fires was slight, being oonflned In practically each fire to single trees struck by light ning. Among the national parks, Crater Lake has had an exceptionally good record In protecting the park for ests from fire. In the past eight years there have been no class 0 fires burning more than 10 acres and only eight class B fires burning over one fourth acre and leas than 10 acres The number of class A fires reported Is 83, burning acre or leas. Of the class A fires 67 were caused by lightning and M were attributed to man. The records Indicate that dur ing the last eight years 99 percent of the fires In the park were caused by lightning, the remainder of 31 percent being man-caused. Control Systematized Protecting the forests haa been a major activity of the national park service at Crater lake. A system of motorways for use only In forest pro tection has been developed through' out the park, Thorough surveys have produced maps Indicating the type of ground cover and the location of streams and springs that can sup ply water In the event of fire. Not the least Important factors In the park's record of forest protection have been the trained staff, Including rangers and COO enrollees. and the cooperation of the U. 8. forest serv ice and the V. 8. Indian service. Within the park two fire lookout stations are maintained during the fire season. One lookout station Is located on the Watchman on the west rim of Crater lake. The other, maintained by the cooperation of the forost service and the Indian aerv lea, la located on the summit of Mt. Scott, highest point In the park. With the two lookout stations In the park and a number of forest serv ice and Indian service lookouts in the surrounding national forests there la practically one hundred per cent visibility of the forests In tho Crater lake region. The fire lookout atatlons are fully equipped for detecting the location of fires and directing ground orewa In suppressing fires. Rangers on duty In the lookout stations are In con atant communication by short wave radio and telephone with the flro dispatcher's office at park headquar ters. Prom reports received from var ious lookouts the fire dispatcher can quickly Indicate the location of a fire. A glance at his maps will Indi cate the type of forest in which tho fire Is burning, the distance to th fire by motorway, and- the location of the nearest supply of water. With that Information a properly equipped crew can be dispatched to the fire. Radio Contact Aids Even." after the flre-flghtlng crew la on a fire the look jut. ranger, com municating by field radio, can assist in fighting the fire. Frequently from his lookout .station he can supplj valuable Information regarding the size of the fire, wind direction and velocity, and spot flrea advancing ahead of the main fire line. The public Is Invited to visit the lookout stations. The ranger on duty will explain the work of forest pro tection. From both the Mt Scott and the Watchman lookouts one has an exceptional view of Crater lake and the surrounding forested region Both lookouts are accessible by good trails leading off from the crate. rlm road. Each afternoon at 1:30 V member of the naturalist staff con ducts an auto caravan to ths Watch man lookout. Starting from the In formation building visitors accom panying the caravan visit a number of scenic, scientific and historic points along the west rim of the lake. Arriving at the parking area below the Watchman the groups hike one-half mile to the lookout station at the summit of the peak. Prom the summit Crater lake Is 3,000 feet below. Surrounding the lake and ex tending for miles beyond the boun daries of the park there la an un surpassed panorama of mountatna built by volcanic fires, mountains mantled by virgin stands of fir, hem lock, and pine that the rangers guard from flro.

CORVALLIS (Spl) HOW wheat growers may set aside enough grain this year to pay for their federal crop Insurance for both 1939 and 1940 haa been explained by official; of the federal crop Insurance cor poration In thla region. Provisions for accepting wheat to cover two years' premiums were made In the amend ment to the federal crop Insurance act toward the close of the last ses sion of congress. When a grower turns over wheat to pay the premium on insurance ror his 1939 crop he may, If he wishes, turn over Just double the amount, It Is explained. The extra wheat Is considered as a deposit and Is not the same as a premium payment, although the advantages to the grower are practically the same, rhe corporation la not permitted to sell crop Insurance policies for more than the current year but the corporation will accept the extra deposit of wheat and will pay storage costs on It In case the grower takes out a policy later for the 1940 crop. A farmer may not deposit more wheat than the number of bushels he pays as premium for his 1939 In surance. This amount may be slightly more or less than bis premium will be for 1940, aa the exact rat wlU not be determined until neat year, but It la expected that It will ap proximate his premium for 1940 .In surance. This plan provides an ad ditional outlet for surplus wheat to Insured wheat growers aa It enables them to put aside wheat now for payment of premiums next year when the price of wheat may be different. The appointment of William Clo hessy aa manager of the Spokane of fice of the federal crop Insurance cor poration has also been announced by the A.A.A. Mr. Clohessy haa been A.A.A. wheat specialist In Portland since 1936, handling the flour export program. He has been In grain mar keting during his entire business ex perience. ' Clyde Kiddle, ststs supervisor of crop insurance for Oregon, with of fices at Oregon state college, says that all county offices are now pre pared to receive applications for wheat Insurance.
