Throw-Back to Pioneer Days Portland, May 5 ffl Last month's forest fires stemmed in part from "a throw-back to pioneer days" when timber was worth little and more cleared land was needed. That was reported Friday by Daniel L.

Goldy, regional ad ministrator for the bureau of land management, in commenting on the burning of 1,200 acres of and cutover lands. There were 14 fires on the government land, Goldy said, of which two were deliberately set. Eight spread from fires started by farmers or stockmen to burn vegetative cover. One investigator, he said, reported that in some areas there seemed no logical reason for setting the fires just custom. He quoted one farmer as say ing: "Well, the fire season wasn't closed and it seemed a good time to get some burning done." The burning intended to get rid of ferns destroyed seedling trees.

Thousands of Douglas fir and Port Orford cedar seedlings planted by the Dwyer Lumber company in 1941 were destroyed in the Eagle creek area. Goldy said that only four per sons admitted their nres nad run away from them and only five of those believed responsible for the 14 came forward to help in control. The government will make claims for damage where the evidence is sufficient, Goldy said. Of the deliberately set fires, Goldy said one was started to improve a grazing area by burning small trees and the other was apparently intended to thin cover and improve game hunting conditions.
