KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON
Agency Hit
By Fires
KLAMATH AGENCY Klamath
Agency foresters have had a busy
lire season this year. 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. A reminder of
that law occurred Thursday when
10-year-old boy was injured by
a B B gun pellet.
City police said one of the boy's
companions was climbing a fence
when the gun he was carrying was
discharged accidentally. The pel
let struck the boy in his chest,
raising a welt which police de
scribed as "minor but with seriouj
possibilities."
The boy apparently was treated
at home. Police 'confiscated the
gun.
