MILLION DOLLORS DAMAGE
IN SUGAR PINE DISTRICT

Medford, Ore, Aug. 20.-That the
present forest fires raging in the
Crater national forest were set by
some disgruntled homesteader in an
effort to even up scores with the
rangers who reported upon his
homestead last Fall, is the belief to-
day of the forestry officials here.
1t has also developed that the gov
ernment now has three secret sery-
ice men investigating the big fires
endeayoring to apprehend the guilty
party or parties.
During the last year a number of
homesteaders found, when they came
to prove up, that adverse reports
had been made regarding their hold
ings. This investigation was made
for the most part by rangers, and
this is said to be responsible for the
forest fires.
A reporter of the United Press
Travelled 200 miles by automobile
horseback and on foot through the
/ burning area. Unmistakable eyi-
dences were found that fires were
set. IN many instances they had
failed to grow into large fires 50
Wgilant are the men fighting the
flames.
The first troops arrived in Butte
Falls, which IS at the extreme north
west Of the blazing forests, and earll
today left for the front. AT Butte
Falls they were met by rangers Wit

Supervisor Erickson today has n

additional men battling with the
flames on the slopes of Mount Nc
Loughlin, from where Medford de-
rives it's water supply. Here is
found one of the finest bodies of
sugar pine of the West today and
these trees are fast being consumed
until only tall charred trunks re-
main.
The damage done so far is esti-
mated by Supervisor Erickson to ex-
ceed S1,OOO,OO0 and the fate of
Medford's water supply is in doubt.
Should this be seriously impaired
it will mean a great loss as the city
has just completed a gravity system
at a cost of $5O0,O009
Supervisor Erickson stated Friday
to the United Press representative
who found him directing the fight,
that unless rain came soon, there is
little hope of an early control of the
flames. Additional fires are con-
tinually starting.
No lives have been lost owing to
the fact that the fires are mostly in
the reserve where there are no set
tiers.
Over 80 square miles have been
burned over.

CONDITIONS AS BAD
AS THEY ARE IN OREGON

Missoula, Mont. Aug. 20.-The
forest fire situation in Montana is
desperate. If the present hot wea-
ther prevails much longer 1t is prac-
tically certain that the conflagrations
will become so comprehensive that
no human agency will be able TO
hold the progress of the fires IN
check. The local forestry officer
has applied to the war department
for 10 companies of soldiers, but on
ly two companies are available.
Brigadier-General Howe at Camp
Sparta, Wisconsin, today notified
the Montana forestry officials by
wire that he will send those two
companies to MUtana Immediately,
Half the troops will be sent to Cor
an and the remainder will go to-
Kalispell. A company of colored
troops from Fort George Wright
probably will reach Bordeaux this
afternoon.
A pack train of 30 horses was re-
ceived from Camp Sparta yesterday.
With 80 men the horses were sent
over the Puget Sound road for Iron
Mountain and Avery where great
forest conhagrations are raging.
Fifteen companies Of troops are
fighting the fires in Western Mon
tana to quell the forest fires. The
fires front extends over six miles In
heavily timbered country. The fir;
at Borax is also spreading rapidly

ASK GENERAL MAUS
FOR FIVE HUNDRED TROOPS

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 20--,A call
was received by General Maus, in
command at American Lake, today
from Portland requesting 500 addi-
tional troops to fight the forest fires
in Southern Oregon, but it was
stated at headquarters at American
Lake early today that the war de-
partment at Washington had not yet
authorized the further movement of
troops to Oregon and pending the
receipt of such authorization, the Of
ficers here can take no action in the
natter, 1t will be impossible, ac-
cording to General Maus, to send the
number of men called for, as only
about 900 regulars are left in the
maneuver camp.
Cannot Get Fire Fighters.
Medford, Ore, Aug. 20.-Actine
Supervisor Swenning of the Local
forestry office, when shown the dis.
patch from American Lake in which
General Maus says no additional
troops will be dispatched unless
orders come from Washington, ex-
pressed deep concern at the news
He stated that calls for more mer
from the front were urgent.
1t is almost impossible to secure
additional men here. He expressed
confidence however that Washington
officials would act.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-08-20

graphed to Huntington, Oregon, to-
day for so additional men to fight
the fires in the Wallowa national re-
serve along the Snake river. Half
a hundred troops have been fighting
fire within the reserve for two
weeks.
The local forestry Office is deluged
with kilograms appealing for aid. In
reply Cecil wired all foresters in the
Northwest toF'employ as many men
as they could secure to fight fire.
Practically all available troops
are on the fire lines now. General
Maus at American Lake telegraphed
that he had only $50 regulars avail
able for duty. At the Vancouver,
Washington, barracks, only rs men,
just enough to do guard duty, are
left. The remainder are on the fire
lines.
A regiment Of troops returning to
Vancouver from the Philippines is
expected to arrive soon. If the SOL
diers are in fit condition they will
be rushed to the scenes of the var
ious confagrations as soon as they
land.
Another fire is reported to have
broken out in the Rainier forest
reserve in Washington today.
The big blaze on the south fork
of the Clearwater river in Idaho is
spreading and advices from Montana
say that conditions as grave as those
in Southern Oregon obtain in the
timber belt of that state.
The forestry officials are losing
hope of being able to control the
flames and declare that nothing can
stop the fires but rain.

ruu1A uasvA1 ssaud uz1rNnI

Sulphur, Okla, aug, 20.-Wheth-
er ]. F. McMurray paid former SEN
ators Long of Kansas and Thurston
of Nebraska, to lobby" measures
through congress favorable to his
law firm or whether he paid them
legitimate fees for legal work, was
one of the questions the congression-
al committee W hich is investigating
the Gore charges attempted today to
solve.
After a protracted tilt between
McMurray on the stand and congress-
man Saunders of the committee, at
torneys for McMurray argued the
propriety of questioning McMurray
on the subject. This occupied nearly
the entire day.
McMurray was on the stand long
enough, however, to say that he en-
ployed Long and Thurston in a
legal capacity and that they advised
him in his ventures. He admitted
that his nine percent contract pro-
yiding for the admission of Indians
to citizenship provided that his firm
should pay the expenses and that
later congress amended the law SO
that the Indians should bear part OF
the expense.
McMurray in the course of his
testimony said that he did not think
single person had been excluded
from the citizenship rolls who right
fully belonged there, although there
might be a few names on the rolls
that should be eliminated.
It is probable that former Senators
Long and Thurston will be called as
witnesses.
