U probable tonight, but today In
Salem the state forester'! office was
making a survey to determine
whether deer hunting sesson will
be allowed to open Saturday as
scheduled.
The action follows a big forest
fire situation In the northern part
of the slate.
Governor Douglas McKay said
he would know by i p. m. whether
the forests will be closed.
If a closure cornea It probably
will be statewide, with any days
lost from the start of deer season
tagged on at the end.
Hehrdaled Oct. I
Deer season runs from Saturday.
October I. through October 20 and
already several parties of hunters
have set up camps in this area,
particularly In the Fremont forest
country around Bly.
When the state forestry office
queried Hal Ogle, KFPA superin- j
tendent and district (ire warden
here, about condition In the woods.
Ogle replied that he would not
-tcommend a closure, that danger
ot fire was not acute enough to
warr.nt closing the forests locally.

The critical area of the state
apparently Is west of the Cascades
and Governor McKay said he haa
received several requests from lum
ber interests In the northwestern
part of the state to postpone deer
season.
If the state forestry office survey
determines that the woods should
be closed, the closure order would
come in the form of a governor's
proclamation. The governor can
order a closure on the grounds that
one of the state Industries would
be endangered If hunters were al
lowed in the- woods now.
Acting State Forester George
Spaur said Northwestern Oregon
is the critical area and that North
eastern and Southwestern Oregon
are bad spots.
Copco Lines

Rain, wind and lightning last
night caused the California Oregon
Power company some trouble, but
the rain furnished a welcome damp

Klamath district.
Lightning struck in east Poe val
ley at 7 p.m.. Monday, grounding
a line. Some 50 ranchers In the east
Poe valley and Bonanza section
were without electric service from
7 to 1:15 p.m. while Copco crews
repaired th damage.
One fire flared up In the woods
as a result of lightning last night,
but Klamath Forest Protective as
sociation's head, Hal Ogle aald the
benefit of rain to forests more than
offsets possibility of small fires
caused by lightning strikes.
The blaze was near Bull springs
in th Yalnax butte country, but
very small damage was done before
KFPA fire crews had things under
control.
In recent days, tire danger has
been high In the woods with low
visibility hampering work of look
