Canadian Believes He Has

Offer Solution
Somewhere In Canada, there li a
nil who thtnki that tba drylng-up
of Tula lik baa uncovered a for
tuna (or him. and ha Is negotiating
with tha United 8tti roclamatlon
service to reduca It ,to tornu or
tangibility. .
tt'a not a treasure sunken In the
bed Ot tba laka by the old war
chiefs of tha Klsmaths, hard-pross-nd
by Undo Ham't blue-conts; nor
doaa ha expect tha dried aanda of
the laka to raveal valuable mineral
dapoilta,
t'ncto 8am Cautious
But ha says be possesses a know
ledge that will be of Immense value
to tba i reclamation aervlce. The
tumbling block In the path of ne
gotiations up to the present haa
been Ibat Uncle Sam, with natlvu
Yankee caution, ' la not buying
knowledge In tha abstract to be ot
value It muat be applied.
Tha Canadian resident, whole
name la on tha Washington rec
ords, but la unknown at the local
reclamation office, eaya that be
knowa the location : of a aubler
ranaan channel, that can be opened
for a drain that will prevent Tula
lake from ever filling again. Ho
haa been negotiating for yeara to
aell his aeoret, on which he placet
a high value. The exact amount
haa Sever been fixed.
Would Consider Contract .
' While unwilling to agree to pay
for directions si to the location of
the underground outlet, the Unltod
Btaios government, la willing to en
ter Into a contract to pay a reason
able mm if the mkn who clalma to
possess the secret will fjnd tba lo
cation and prove that It la a ckan-
nol that will keep tho laka bed dry.
Thli la acoordlng to H. I). Newell,
local director of roclamatlon, who
saya that upon tho possibility that
there may be something In tbe
Canadlan'a offer, dependa what the
government will do toward diking
and drainage ayatoma.

Hunters and Vacationist
Asked To Co-operate To
Save Klamath Forest ' i
Vacationists and hunters In Klam- '
ath county are being cautioned by
the Klamath forest Protective stio
elation to be extremely. careful wttli v
camp flrea. ' 7.' i'jf
. Due to carelessness on the part of
hunters who have left their flrea
burning, the association's wardens
have bad several fires to combat re
cently. Today there are two fires
at Pokegama, one covering an area
of about 100 acres and "the otber
about 20 acres. ' Warden McClean
left for there last night and War
den Ogle early this morning. .' r..
Up until now there have been but
tew fires In Klamath county, and all
of them small ones,.' But with the
large number of hunters ' In the
woods and tbe Labor Day vacation
ists the danger of fire 4a greatly In
creased. . . ,.-; '','.
. Failure to extinguish camp, fires
la the common cause of .forest fires.
Inexperienced . campers " frequently
fall even to attempt to put, their fjre
out upon leaving camp, while others
throw a bucket of water . on the
flames and let it go at that. , In the
former case It is due only to good
luck It the fire falls to. spread., while
in the. latter case the hot embers
left to smolder are as dangerous .as
the burning fire, the., .association
points out. . ' .' . . i v' V,;,,' v I
- Hot ashes often ;ea,t their wajj iijto
tbe ground, follow, along a, root or a .
burled limb, and in. that way spread
to adjoining ground. ; A- fire line

protection, in this casa..,, Thoroughly

' Cigarettes tossed' 'carelessly from
an nutomoblle are one-of Ithe com- .
inon fire causes, say the tire war
dens. '' Even ' the ' more experienced
woodsman, 'wbo in his camp would
carefully extinguish ' the -cigarette,
will unthinkingly toes It from an au
tomobile. This la an. almost cer
tain way ot starting a .forest fire.
As Klamath county's resources
consist largely of. timber,, It -Is the
obligation of every resident of tha
county to prevent forest fires, .the
association points oat, and the public
Is urged to co-operate with tho as
