cau.e Of Fires Not Known

Portland, August 2.-Declaring that he
could add nothing to the information
contained in the dispatch from Washing
ton today, George H. Cecil. assistant for
ester, declined to discuss the cause OF the
various forest fires in this state.
Rumors have been circulated for sew
eral days that the forest officials In their
search for the origins of the fires which
are raging In the Oregon northwest have
found evidence of incendiarism.
In all parts of Oregon, where public land
is embraced in national reserves there is
more or less controversy between persons
who have located claims within the forest
boundaries and the government.
According to dispatches received from
Medford this land controversy may have
had some connection with the fires in that
vicinity.
