Carelessness Major Cause Of Fires In Mount Shasta Thursday, March 16. 1961 1 P1 Tells Forest Service Role MOUNT SHASTA Carelessness on the part of adults Is still the greatest cause of fire, an analysis of city and fire district blazes in the! past year and past 12 years shows. Frank Melo, fire chief, in issu ing the comparative report of fires within Mount Shasta and the surrounding fire district stated that most persons have no one to blame but themselves for fires. Out of 420 fires in the city and district within the past 12 years, 317 were classified as preventable. The remainder possibly could Historians Hear Talk By Maxwell YREKA Siskiyou County's na tionally famous Lava Beds were featured in a talk by M. V. Max well, county farm adviser, Yreka, at the county museum Saturday at the regular meeting of the Sis-j kiyou County Historical Society. Colored slides sliowing the vol canic formations, the petroglyphS; and the trails and fortifications of the Modoc Indian War of 1872-73 highlighted the talk. The Lava Beds, 10 miles south of Tulelake, were established as a national monument of 48,000 acres by the U.S. government in 1925. Thousands of visitors are at tracted annually to view the vol canic formations of fumaroles, cinder cones, chimneys and lava caves, as' well as the scenes of of the Modoc War, Some of the 130 explored caves described by Maxwell included the Skull, Catacomb, Bear Paw, Froz en River and Fern caves. The pictographs on the cliffs of the peninsula, left by prehistoric inhabitants, were pictured. The speaker also touched upon the flora and fauna of the area, the Modoc War, Bull's Eye Lake, and the Medicine Lake section with its volcanic glass mountain, Of, interest to sportsmen, he stated that during three months of the year millions of ducks and geese, as many as six million at one time, rest on the Tulelake sump. From the farming area, the land which was under 20 feet of water at one time, provides an in come per acre which is probably higher than anywhere else in the county, Maxwell stated. Of the 73,000 acres reclaimed by tho government, approximately 38,000 are- being farmed in Siskiyou County and 34,000 in Modoc. Last year this land yielded ari income of five million dollars In Siskiyou County and six million dollars in Modoc. The business session conducted by President Vayne Ralston con sisted of reports of committees and the curator, Hazel Pollock, who stated that the special Civil War exhibit will go on display April 1 for three months. A committee from Scott Valley Including Ernest Hnyden, presi dent of the Etna Chamber of Com merce, Edith Collar and Hurry Dunlap, asked the society's aid in preparing an historical travel bro chure, and cooperation on their plans for the restoration of old Fort Jones.

Major causes of preventable fires -were overflowing oil stoves dirty chimneys, stove pipes too close to wood, careless trash burninE. careless smoking, .core- less use of gasoline and improp er handling of explosives. The remaining fires were at tnbuted to unknown causes, ar son, laJse alarms, children, veni clcs and minor fire extinguished before equipment arrived. Melo noted that children play ina with matches, a tire cause that attracts wide publicity, was responsible for 23 fires in the past 12 years as compared with 317 adult caused fires. Tho cost per fire in the last 12 years has averaged between $40 and $50 per flic. Property losses by fire last year totaled $18,435 in Mount Shasta and Mount Shasta fire district, Melo said. But property endan gered by fire and saved amount ed to a value of $297,340. No lives have been lost due to fires within the city limits in the past 12 years. Three lives were lost in a 1960 fire in the district and one previous to that. Of the 17 to 20 firemen who on the average have responded to fires in the city and district for the past 12 years, none has lost time due to personal injuries re ceived while fighting fires. Melo felt tile volunteer fire department could be proud of this safety rcc "id. . , . Coroner Report YREKA Siskiyou County coion er, A. B.

MONTAGUE The second of a series of publications on Opera tion Outdoors, the U.S. Forest Service's program for recreation al development, has been pub lished. Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson, whose Second Congres sional District contains about half of California's 25 million acres of national forests, announced that the publication deals with the na tional forest wildlife. "National forests and the nation al grasslands are great reservoirs of natural resources of tremen dous value to the American pub lie," Johnson said. "They contain about one-third of the nation's standing saw tim ber, give rise to many streams provide homes for a thicd of the 6ig game, and offer one of the largest accessible areas of un posted hunting, fishing and recre ation land in the country. For America's industry and people they are major sources of wood, water, forage and recreation." The new publication explains in detail the short term wildlife habi tat management objectives out lined in the program for, national forests. It describes the size and nature of the problem and pro vides for full coordination of wild life needs with all other national forest resource management ac tivities and for the expansion of cooperative wildlife work with the states.
