FORESfsilCfsOLV- On April 4 a meeting of the Maury Ml. rattle and horse permittees was held at Anions' sawmill, resulting in the organization of an association which promise to be one of the most progressive on the Forest. Out of 47 permittees on this range, ap proximately 40 men attended this meeting. Among other things taken up was the adoption of a special rule making It necessary for each permittee to present a receipt to the Forest Supervisor signed by the sec retary of the association, showing thut hi prorata share of the salting expense has been paid, before per mit would be Issued. This prevent the possibility of "slackers" and 1 an equitable way of handling the salting problem for a range unit. The association also voted an assess ment su (Melon t to take care of the construction of 15 miles of fence to be placed along the forest boundary. This will be the first section of ap proximately 25 miles which will eventually be required to enclose the entire range. The Forest Serv ice keenly appreciates the splendid cooperative spirit manifested by the Maury Mt. permittees and Is looking forward to a wonderful Improve ment of the range. Hanger J. O. F. Anderson took charge of the Maury Mt. District on April 4 and will make the Muury Kniiger Station his headquarters for ut least the greater portion of the year. Mrs. Anderson, who Is now spending a few days at the ranch on Dig Summit Prairie arranging for the transfer of household goods, etc. will Join Mr. Anderson In the near future. Gruzlng Examiner D. C. Ingram, Rangers E. W. Donnelly and C. 8. Congleton, together with Supervisor Hurpham, attended the annual meet ing of the Beaver Creek Association at Paulina on April 6th. Messrs. Ingram and Donnelly are continuing with a series of meetings scheduled for the Wooloy Ranch, Fife and Sil ver Creek. One more meeting at Big Summit Prairie on April 17 will complete the mooting for this spring. The Bmall territory of cat tle range adjacent to Big Summit Prairie Ib the only remaining un organized area on the Ochoco Forest and it Is hoped that after April 17 this will be no exception. Both the Forest Service and the Btockmen are now looking forward to a strong county or lnter-county organization which will probably Include the Ochoco and Deschutes Forests, and possibly portions of other forests. Such an organization will probably be formed either this fall or next spring. Ranger W. A, Donnelly and Mr. Stewart have begun active prelimin ary work on the construction of the Ochoco telephone line. Very soon other men will also help wtin this work. w. s. s.

' -HONOR FLAG ' IS ' EAKENED SAYSSMITH PRIVATE HMITH OK 721) 8F.A- FORTH HIGHLANDERS TALKS WAS WOUNDED AT M RIDGE Allien Knew That Hun Drive Would Come Toll Paid Mas Keen Immense "The enemy position on the west front has been greatly weakened for i the reason that territory recently evacuated by the allied armies is It 'very difficult for transportation. Is a country of deep doby mud, and the supplies are coming up under great difficulty", said Private T. L. Smith of the 72d Sea forth High landers to a Journal reporter yes- tcrday. The allies knew that this ground was destined to be the scene of ter rific fighting," he said, "and when It was taken from the Germans a year ago, it was not reclaimed as was other territory, but left for the struggle that Is now taking place." Private Smith thinks the losses sus tained by the enemy have been about five times as great as those of the allied armies, and Bays the final result Is only a question of time. One year ago Private Smith was In a hospital back of Vimy Ridge critically wounded. He was called to assist in the Liberty Loan drive In Oregon, and is making a trip through this part of the state. He has been out of the hospital only a short time. Send the boys In the trenches. trench candles, he say These are made by making paper rolls, boiling in parafflne for a half hour, after which they are Ideal for trench use. In mailing parcel to the front, they should be placed In tin boxes, and sewed in muslin cloth to avoid breakage, he says. , . He says that newspapers printed In every respect to counterfit the well known Italian newspapers have been dropped on that front, carrying stories printed In the Italian language, telling of the desertion of Italy by all of the allied countries, and many harmful lies, all "made in Germany" out of whole cloth. He says that the Germans are good bluffers, but that the remain der of the world has learned their tricks, and that the day of reckon ing is coming.

The quota, which was $91,000, was over subscribed before midnight Satur day. The chairman of the evening was Judge N. G. Wallace, who baa been very active in helping to advertise and prepare the people for the big drive. Mrs. H. P. Belknap, the first speaker on the program, told In a few well chosen words of the work that has been done by the Women of Prineville and theii introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Mrs. Alexander Thopmson, of The Dalles. Mrs. Thompson put punch in very sentence and told in no . un certain terms of what must be done by the people at home to help the boys who are fighting over in the trenches. "Our boys who have gone over are sacrificing everything" said Mrs. Thompson, "and the very least we can do is to support them with our dollars." "It is going to be no easy task", continued the speaker, "and we must be prepared for a hard struggle." "Of course we shall conquer" she said, "for we fight not for dominion, not for power, but for democracy real true democracy. Germany reckons without her host a united nation. She has been deluded into thinking that the people of the United States do not and never have stood behind their government, but the prompt response that the people of this nat on have made to the Lib- erty Loans and other war drives, has surely opened her eyes. The things we are fighting for today 'will be handed down to our children's children as a priceless heritage." We have to lick the Kaiser, to keep the Kaiser from licking us said Mrs. Thompson. "We know we are big enough to combat the forty years of German preparation. We cannot all cross the ocean and do the spectacular thing but we must all do our bit. "We are indeed proud of the showing Oregon has made, as she has sent more men and subscribed more money, according to popula tion, than any other state. We know that our boys from Oregon will never stop until they take the star spangled banner into Berlin and make the Kaiser salute it." Mrs. Thompson closed with a very stirring tribute to the flag. The last speaker was Dr. J. H. Gervin who made a few short and snappy remarks concerning the at titude of the American people. Dr. Gervin says that we must not think that we have an easy task before us, or that Germany is weakening. He says that instead of "Doing Our Bit" we must "Do Our Best." The audience joined in singing patriotic songs during the evening. w. s. b.
