So far as known La Grande will
be represented at Portland several
hundred strong during the Rose car

The following bulletin has been is
sued by the Oregon Conservation as
sociation and Is of vital importance
to every section of the state that has
timber. Let everyone read it and give
it thorough consideration; '
Would you set fire, to any man's
house in your town? . ' .
If you saw his house afire would
you pass by without doing anything?
Do you realize that timber Is quite
aa valuable to the owner, and much
more so to the community; nd , to
you? He can build a new bouse, but
not a new forest',. As for your inter
est, think over the following facts;
Oregon has. 350,000,000,000 feet of
standing timber, even now' worth
?,uw,uuv as a resurce. - -
If manufactured and sold, even at
present' prices, It will bring $5,000.
000,000,000 Into the state for labor and
Supplies, 'i '
.. Oregon now sells $20,000,000 worth
of lumber a year. Of th's $14,000,000
la received by employes who: put It
in local circulation. ; In other words,
you, whatever your business; share in
About a billion feet is destroyed by
fire In Oregon annually, which if man
ufactured would bring In $13,000,000.
On every thousand feet burned, the
stum page owner may lose $2.00 but
the, community loses $8.00 in wages
Timber means pay checks, to sup
port all Industries. But burned tim
ber pays no wages.
Timber pays taxes in your county.
If It burns, your property has to pay
the difference. ;.:
Help to keep down forest fires and
you'll make money. So-.will your
children. ..' ;
. - Don't toss away burning matches
or tobacco. , V : .;
Don't make a camp fire In leaves,
rotten wood, or against , logs, where
you cannot be sure It is out
Never ' leave a fire until it is out.
Dont burn your slashing ' in the
dry season without a permit
Put out any fire you find if you
can. If you can't, notify a fire war
den, some other public officer, or
land owner.
Remember it's the little fire you
can put out which may later become
a big one.
If you don't know the fire laws,
send for a copy. Help enforce' them.
