The forestry service up to 2 o'clock reported no new fires today. The fire one and three-quarters miles east of Phoenix is still burning over an area covered with brush and foxtail. This fire is being fought by the Jackson county patrol association. The fire on the Applegate that threatened 500 acres of timber in the Crater National forest reserve was placed under control last night. A large brush fire is burning on both sides of Fish lake, but is being kept from the heavy timber. A number of isolated fires, believed to have been started by incendiaries, are burning in the Butte Falls districts. A small fire started near Trail on Thursday is under control. Fires in the Siskiyou reserve are still burning on Horse, Seiad and Cougar creeks. Over 100 men are fighting these flames. A small brush fire is burning near Rogue River on Evans creek. Smoke from the fires hangs like a pall over the valley. HEAD OF NATIONAL PARKS IS COMING Superintendent Steel of the Crater Lake National Park received a wire to meet Stephen Mather, assistant to the secretary of the interior, in charge of national parks, at Medford Saturday morning. Upon his arrival here, he received another wire to meet him at Chiloquin instead Sunday morning, necessitating a forced back trip over the mountains. Mr. Mather will arrive in Medford Tuesday evening, and if time permits, will be entertained by the University club. Advertisement: Use Electricity for Cooking and Heating, and Conserve our Natural Resources When you burn COAL, WOOD, OIL or GAS, you have destroyed a product that cannot be replaced for hundreds of years, if ever. The sun is daily raising water in the form of vapor from the ocean into the clouds, which falls as rain or snow in the high mountains, and turns the water wheels for generating electric power in its way downward again to the sea. This power can be used over and over again, without loss of any of our natural resources. Investigate our rates for electric heating and electric cooking, made possible by SIX LARGE POWER PLANTS, and 400 MILES OF TRANSMISSION LINES, enabling us to generate and deliver power at a minimum of expense.
