The blaze was reported by the Klamath Forest Protective Asso ciation yesterday at 3:15 p.m. from its Yainax Butte lookout. Crews from the KFPA and Wey erhaeuser Timber Co. fought the fire to a standstill after it burn ed over about 20 acres of cut over timber and snags. It was controlled about 9 p.m. and a small crew patrolled the scene all night. Fire fighters said the blaze apparently was started by light ning which struck and gutted a fir tree Saturday. Flames did not break loose until yesterday when they were fanned by a brisk breeze. The fire was the 12th reported to KFPA this year but the oth ers were small and quickly con trolled. Another fire, believed started by a carelessly tossed cigarette, burned over one-quarter acre in Klamath river canyon near the California border yesterday and was quickly extinguished by Klamath county road crews. It burned through a section of scrub oak. A three-man mopping up crew remained there today. Weather Helps Fire Fighters Br UNITED PRESS Thundershowers and humid weather came to the aid of fire fighters battling a 2000-acre blaze in the Costilla land grant of Northern New Mexico today. The fire was still out of con trol, but the rain and damp weather helped slow it down. About 250 men tried to keep the flames from getting a fresh lease on life. Their main hope lay in more rain. A Forest Service spokesman said "It will be sometime until we are able to bring the fire under control unless there is rain." The Costilla blaze was the worst of a rash of fires crackling in parched New Mexico and Arizona timbr-'ands. All the others were under con trol, but one of them claimed the first life in the battle against the flames Thursday. He -was Alan Wilson Jr.. 27. who was crushed by a falling tree. of baaie rule.

Civil Service For Police, Complaints, Discussed at Meet Eighteen patrolmen erf the Medford police department met with members of the city coun cil! police committee, other councilmen. and City Manager Robert Duff last night, to dis cuss the possibility of civil serv ice for the department, and to voice general complaints a to its operation. Despite the fact that Stanley Jones, chairman of the commit tee, pointed out the council could not concern itself with police ad ministrative matters, many - of the complaints concerned admin istration. Matters DkeuMed Policy matters discussed in cluded rates of pay, and the need for civil service rules covering hiring and firing. Administrative matters mentioned included mer it pay increases, which many patrolmen felt were unfair and discriminatory, personnel con flicts, and "unreasonable" work load which demanded too much of members of an understaffed department, preparation of in dividuals' efficiency reports, re quirements to meet certain speci fied numbers of arrests each month, and others. Officers present agreed that much progress had been made in the department in recent years, including greatly improv ed training procedures, and many of the patrolmen spoke highly of Chief Charles Champlin. An exception was one officer, who resigned recently, who said he felt the chief had shown some discrimination and partiality. At the end of the meeting, Jones again pointed out that the council could not act in admin istrative matters, but that it would consider the officers' com plaints pertaining to overall poli cy. Duff indicated the adminis trative complaints would be taken under consideration. Chief Champlin and the four sergeants were not present f the session. Edith Green Names Campaign Manager Portland (U.R) Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) announced today that she has appointed Robert Henderson, formerly associated with a Portland radio station, to be her 1956 campaign manager. Henderson has been Mrs. Green's administrative assistant in her Washington office. Storage Water to Be Used by MID The Medford Irrigation dis trict will start using storage water for irrigation purposes this week end. according to Man ager Jack Hoffbuhr. Water used so far has been picked up from spring runoff water. 1 Both water sources are in "good shape" this summer, Hoff buhr said, because of the long, wet winter. Fourmile lake at the summit of the Cascade range has about 15.169 acre-feet in storage, only 1.054 a-f less than capacity, and Fish lake has 78, 056 a-f, or 166 a-f less than ca pacity. Between them, the lakes eon tain 21,163 acre-feet more water this year than at the start of last year's irrigation season. BIRTHS .
