Klamath Forest
Fire Controlled
Klamath Falls flJ.P; The first
large forest fire of the season
in the Klamath Fails area was
believed under control today and
a crew of about 30 men was
mopping up at the scene about
10 miles north of Bly in Klamath
county.
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

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.

Be Used by MID

trict will start using storage
water for irrigation purposes
this week end. according to Man

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
