HUNTERS CAULED. TO FIGHT FIRE Guerdon Ellis, national supervisor of Taforest, stated yester16. He estimates that there are 6000 deer hunters coming and going-in the of the season, and four fires have al-' ready been reported. A'lbout 150 deer hunters have been ithpressed into fighting forest fires since Sunday. Because deer are often of the mule tail variety and larger and there are more of them, hunters have flocked to Truckee, and Sierraville on the east side of the Sierras. Gordon Vance, fire control officer, states that both towns look as if a circus had arrived there. . ; “It is too bad that all hunters must take the consequences of the carelessness of a few,’ said Ellis,. "but that is thé way it works out. Any one who throws a cigaret butt in the grass or forest litter now would throw a matgh. into a parey keg, gather our fire ett forces and go to work. Since hunte™% are the most available they are the ones first called.”’ Among the arrests made last wank are those of J. C. Younkers of Grass Valley, cigaret smoking in a highly dangerous area in. which smokiing is forbidden; W. H. Troffitt of Napa, arrested for building a camp fire without a permit and in an extremely hazardous spot; Martin Bokter of San Francisco and Charles Niles of Sononia, smoking in hazardous areas; and Stanley C. Jones of San Leandro, leaving a camp fire without properly extinguishing it. Vance says that conditions in the forests are like those of tinder box. Increasing the hazard is the prevalence of light to strong winds in — many parts of the forest. ; Supervisor Ellis said that it is a pity that so few can spoil the pleasure of so many. Due to the high risk in some areas, he may, under th law close them to hunting, if it b comes necessary. ;

HUNTERS CAULED. TO FIGHT FIRE Guerdon Ellis, national supervisor of Taforest, stated yester16. He estimates that there are 6000 deer hunters coming and going-in the of the season, and four fires have al-' ready been reported. A'lbout 150 deer hunters have been ithpressed into fighting forest fires since Sunday. Because deer are often of the mule tail variety and larger and there are more of them, hunters have flocked to Truckee, and Sierraville on the east side of the Sierras. Gordon Vance, fire control officer, states that both towns look as if a circus had arrived there. . ; “It is too bad that all hunters must take the consequences of the carelessness of a few,’ said Ellis,. "but that is thé way it works out. Any one who throws a cigaret butt in the grass or forest litter now would throw a matgh. into a parey keg, gather our fire ett forces and go to work. Since hunte™% are the most available they are the ones first called.”’ Among the arrests made last wank are those of J. C. Younkers of Grass Valley, cigaret smoking in a highly dangerous area in. which smokiing is forbidden; W. H. Troffitt of Napa, arrested for building a camp fire without a permit and in an extremely hazardous spot; Martin Bokter of San Francisco and Charles Niles of Sononia, smoking in hazardous areas; and Stanley C. Jones of San Leandro, leaving a camp fire without properly extinguishing it. Vance says that conditions in the forests are like those of tinder box. Increasing the hazard is the prevalence of light to strong winds in — many parts of the forest. ; Supervisor Ellis said that it is a pity that so few can spoil the pleasure of so many. Due to the high risk in some areas, he may, under th law close them to hunting, if it b comes necessary. ;
