TWELVE THE ENID DAILY EAGLE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1936 FOOD and Marketing PAGE: FOREST EXPERT URGES PATROL FOR ALL TIMBER Phillips Cites Causes Back of Most Fires in Southeast Area CITY, Aug. -The old Indian superstition that smoke rising into the sky will bring rain was credited today with being a potent factor in forest fires in southeastern Oklahoma. George R. Phillips, former state forester who resigned last night, said that from four to six fires are started daily in the patrolled 000 acres of forest in the southeastern part of the state. Phillips revealed that he has asked A.
M. Landman, the Five Civilized Tribes agent at Muskogee, 1 to aid in educating the more backward Indians along forest conservation lines. Most of the fires are started by careless campers, but a number of blazes still are, deliberately started, Phillips said. Neighborhood feuds which end in disgruntled persons setting fire to their neighbors' forests are also a cause of the fires, he said. Phillips advocated expenditure of more state funds in protecting the entire 12,000,000 acres of timber in eastern Oklahoma, instead of the 1,300,000 acres now patrolled.
Fires swept over some 3,000 acres of patrolled timber lands this month, he revealed. PARTIAL IDENTITY FOR PURCELL BODY PURCELL, Aug. -The body of a man, found in a cornfield at the south edge of Purcell: today, was identified tentatively from clothing as that of a beggar who two weeks ago threatened a family here with a knife when refused food. The body was in such an advanced state of decomposition that further identification was impossible. The clothing contained no personal effects from which identity could be established.
Officers discarded a theory" the man had been slain. Acting County Attorney John Abernathy said the man called at the home of a family named Tippett and asked for food. When refused, he threatened them with a knife. The family called officers, but the beggar escaped. He was about 50 years old, wore a straw hat, overalls and a light shirt.
A knife and some tobacco was all that was found in the pockets. The body was found by Henry Hudson, negro, who was gathering corn.

Visits by former President Herbert Hoover, John J. Raskob and representatives of a British mining firm to the scene kindled enthusiasm over the find.
The new found gold was coming out of a mine recently purchased by George B. Austin, storekeeper and prospector, for $10,000. Austin's diggings were reported to be honeycombed with a peculiar formation yielding $123 to the ton of ore and $420 in a one-day production test with mortar and pestle. Mining men said they understood Austin could realize as much as 000,000 for the property now, under certain conditions, but that he had formed a 50-year trust to assure its being kept in the family, Hoover announced through his secretary that he had no personal financial interest in the area but R. J.

(P) -Secretary of State Frank Carter announced today he will hold sufficient without a hearing the signatures on an initiative petition providing creation of a commission to hear petition protests, "This measure would take from my office the authority to hold the hearings and would put it in the hands of a commission which would act on the protests within 30 days after they are filed." Carter said. "I'm going to certify the petition as sufficient without hearing the protest of J.
M. Ashton and let Ashton to the supreme court it he desires. In other words this affects my office and I am in effect disqualifying myself to pass upon it." Carter added he believed the 30- day provision was unconstitutional because protestants might not be able to perfect appeals to. the supreme court in that time. Read the News-Eagle Classified.
