Lightning started six fires during the Tues day night storm, bringing the total to 67. Man's carelessness has been re sponsible for 17 of the fires on the reservation this season. The larg est fire, which amounted to about one acre, was caused by a careless fisherman. The other 50 fires, started by lightning strikes, were all extinguished while in the in fant stage, and caused little dam age. With termination and the with drawal of government supervision of the reservation, state men are being integrated into the fire con trol force. Three key state men are working with the government for esters this year. It is anticipated that next year the government force will be re duced, and the state force in creased. This process will continue until the state foresters take over complete control. B-B Guns Ruled Illegal Here The use of B-B guns is unlawful in Klamath Falls.
