MILE LUMBER
YARD FIRE SAID
Probe Starts, Many Warn
ings Ignored Partners
Argue At Blaze.
Seattle. Aug. 29 (JP) Seattle
and state fire official were con
ducting an intensive investiga
tion today into the origin of the
$370,000 fire which last night
destroyed a large part of the
Lumber Supply Co. and Black
stock Lumber company and re
sulted in injuries to three fire
men. Fire Chief William Fitzgerald
- described as "very mysterious
the cause of the fire, revealed a
fire inspector had visited the
lumber yard early yesterday and
warned a company official to
keep warehouse doors locked
and suggested posting a night
watchman. Several previous
warnings have been given the
company, Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald said one reason for
the intensive investigation was
that the fire gained considerable
headway before fire apparatus
was called.
''Months ago we gave Instruc
tions to this company on what to
do to prevent a fire. Later we
made several calls and, of course
today gave a further warning,"
the chief said.
Fitzgerald and Nehtmiah
Blackstock, treasurer, secretary
and manager of the lumber man
pany, later argued vigorously at
the scene of the blaze about the
failure of the company to heed
the warning of Inspectors and
Blackstock was escorted from
the scene by police.
Inspector . Blaine Rossman
set the value of the building at
$24,000 and lumber stored In
one burned at $349,000. An in
surance company representative
who watched the blaze said
there was about $200,000 worth
.of Insurance covering the stock,
divided among three companies.
Working with Fitzgerald on
the Investigation of the blaze
was William A. Sullivan, state
fire marshal and insurance commissioner.

F
TO
Forty-five of the 117 men
working on the Medford munici
pal airport expansion and im
provement project were taken
off last night and this morning
to help harvest the pear crop
and the 35 men working on the
cool, crisp nights of our first ! Ashland high school grandstand
fall weather are here in the ! project were taken off last night
forest, making ideal opportun
ities for recreationists over the
holiday week-end. . Rains have
put the roads in the best con
dition of the year; campgrounds
are again dry and ready for
use; and excellent visibility in
creases the pleasure of motoring.
Persons traveling to Lake o
Woods will be pleased with the
improvement of the Dead In
dian road, now that graveling
has been completed.
The berries at Huckleberry
mountain have been somewhat
softened by the rain so that they
will keep only two or three
days after picking. They are
still plentiful at a distance of
one to two miles from the camp,
experienced pickers getting five
or six gallons a day. Good pick
ing is also found at Huckle
berry lake on the Umpqua di
vide. At Blue Rock and Lake
o' Woods there are practically
no berries left. The blackberies
in the Applegate district have
been slow in ripening and the
crop will probably continue for
several weeks.
"Fishing in the Seven Lakes
basin continues good. At Hyatt
lake bass are being taken with
rainbow and jointed plugs and
on airplane type spinners. At
Rocky Point the big rainbow
trout are rising to Andy Reek
ers and trout-orino flies. At
Four-mile worms and eggs are
bringing good catches of blue-
backs. The only stream fishing
in the forest this week is In
Elliott creek and . the middle
fork of the Applegate, both in
California.
"This is the Ideal time of
year to visit the forest lookout
stations. In addition to Ashland
mountain and Dutchman peak
on the Ashland loop drive, there
are also, within two hours' driv
ing distance from Medford, the
Tallowbox and Cinnabar. look
outs in the Applegate district
and Blue Rock in the Butte
Falls district. You will be sur
prised at the scope of the view
from any of these points and
will be interested in having the
lookout man help you identify
points of interest.
"The rains of the past week
have decreased the fire hazard
but September will bring a re
turn of hot, dry, clear weather
and that means a sustained vig
ilance once more to keep the
ghastly blight of forest fire
down. We know we talk about
this thing a lot but it's serious.
Our most disastrous fires always
come in the fall on this forest.
So let's make a special effort
this month to keep the timber
safe."
for the same reason, the WPA
office here explained. These
were the only WPA projects in
operation in Jackson county.
The rest of the men and all
the equipment are continuing on
the airport project, the office
said. While the airport project
has been given priority, there is
another rule that makes it neces
sary to take workers off WPA
projects whenever private em
ployment is available, one regu
lation offsetting the other. Both
projects will be resumed full
force as soon as the harvesting
is over, the WPA office said.
Grants Pass, Aug. 29 (P)
Competitive bidding for the ser
vices of hop pickers forced an
other increase in wages today
when at least one yard announc
ed payment of 2V4 cents a pound
for all hops picked there begin
ning today.
The highest offer Thursday
was two cents with half-a-cent
bonus for those who remain for
the rest of the season, now more
than three weeks under way.
Growers opened the season with
Joint announcement of 114 cents
with i cent bonus.
Word was received here that
all WPA projects in neighboring
Jackson county were shut down
last night to relieve the shortage
of Rogue River valley harvest
ers. All major WPA projects in
Josephine county have been
closed for several weeks.
