Mail Tribune 100, Aug. 11, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 11, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Aug. 11, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Aug. 11, 1915 FIREBUG SETS TWENTY-ONE FIRES IN TRAIL DISTRICT Incendiarism in the Trail district Monday resulted in the setting of 21 forest fires within half a day within a radius of five miles. The fires were started in the opinion of State Supervising Warden Eberly for the purpose of furnishing labor for idle men in the district. The pay is good, and the work is easy but hot. All of the fires were discovered in time to prevent their spread, except one which was controlled after a ten hour battle. Evidence of the work of the firebug was found near each blaze. All of the fires were started outside of the national forest reserves, the fear of rigorous prosecution by the federal government being feared. Most of the forest fires this year have been traced to the work of firebugs. There was a fire from this source in the Ruch district Sunday that threatened a number of homes, one of the same origin in the Mosquito gulch section Tuesday afternoon, which is now under control, and thought to have been set, reported from the Yankee creek district this afternoon.

A.E. REAMES LOSES FISHING CLOTHES A.E. Reames, while returning from a fishing trip on the Rogue river Monday evening, lost his fishing clothes and wading shoes somewhere between Bybee bridge and Medford. They were in a canvas sack. The door of the tonneau flew open and the sack dropped to the road. The loss was not discovered until Mr. Reames reached home. The route traversed by Mr. Reames was over the Agate road and the newly built shortcut road that joins the pacific highway near the Pacific and Eastern crossing. A blue flannel shirt, flannel underwear, wading pants and spiked muleskin shoes were among the articles lost. The finder will please notify Mr. Reames.
