All pysons entering the forests must I>o ex tremely careful at this time about lighting fires This is not the Fire Marshal warning of the usual type. There is a very ur gent reason for this warping. The woods just now are filled with military patrols with rigid instructions to shoot public ene mies caught setting fire to the forests. Therefore it is doubly neces sary to be careful as military patrols, while instructed to exer cise every precaution, might pos sibly make a mistake. These military patrols are op erating in every part of Otegon where forests are to be found. Their location is not levealud 'for obvious reasons. They move from place to place and keep to cover as much as possible. Their task is that of hunting down public enemies who have been firing the Oregon forests, and they are under orders from the Western Department of the army to deal instantly and vigorously with such public enemies. So if necessary for you to go into the woods, be careful about lighting fires. No doubt ¡1 would lie better to keep out of the woodB unless you have urgent business therein.

Downing of the serious illness of her sis ter Mrs. Eva Pierce of Oklahoma Virtually unanimous sentiment in favor of the water Krade route for the Pacific highway between Snleni and Jefferson was express ed at a heavily attended meeting at Turner on Tuesday night at which delegations from Aumsvil- le, Marion, Turner and Stayton were present Committees will urge the state highway commis sion to choose this route, which would pass through the lower country which ¡ h without hills und would go through Turner an<i Marion. An opposing route which there has been talk of • selecting is known as “Jefferson way” and passes over the hills. Numerous arguments in favor of the route through Turner and Marion were presented. It was shown that this route would be on water grade and that the hill near the state training school would be the only one encounter ed. Further it was shown that for al*out half the distance a grading exists that would be Suitable for immediate paving and that but little work on grad ing would be necessary between Salem and Turner. Another argument presented was that the Turner-Marion route would serve a vast range of country, including some of the large saw- mills. Among these points were mentioned Aums- ville. Mill City, Lyons. Mehama, Shaw. Sublimity, West Stayton and Stayton. The opposition route, it w s h pointed out would be across numerous hills and would serve a mere strip and not a wide scope of country. Judge Dunean, who presided at the meeting Tuesday night, will serve as chairman of the committee representing the Turner district that will confer with the highway commission.
