On account of the serious fires in
the western States the Secretary of
Agriculture has Just put into force
a new regulation making it necessary
for campers to secure permits from lo

furnished to all Forest Rangers on

is also a supply on hand at the local I

some of it going to mail order houses

CAMPERS Sa'ST HAVE A
PERMIT BEFORE BITLDIXG FIRE
. During the month of September
campers in the National Forests of
the Pacific Coast States will have to
secure permits for building camp
fires. This regulation has just been
promulgulated by the Secretary of
Agriculture and the local office of the
Forest Service was so informed yes
terday. This Is a precautionary meas
ure taken to aid forest rangers and
fir guards in keeping track of the lo
cation of camping parties ln their dis
tricts and to secure the listing of
those who have occasion to maks
camp fires. This plan of issuing per
on the mountains detect and report
fires which later turn out to be only
camp fires. This plan of issuing per
mits for camp fires will help the
rangers to tell camp fire smokes from
real forest fire smokes.
Those who are contemplating camp.
ling trips during September shuld
write or apply in person to the For
est Supervisor, forest ranger, or for
est guard, in whose territory they are
'going to camp, stating approximately
where they will camp and build their
camp fires. There Is an office of a
Forest Supervisor in each of the fol

consolation in connection with this
situation is the fact that practically
the entire region west of the Rocky
Mountains Is suffering from the
drouth which in many places is much
more severe than in the vicinity of
Prineville. We shall all hope that
early fall rains will come as was the
case last year and whtch would re
lieve the situation immensely and will
in fact enable the stockmen to pull
through again in fair shape.
The recent lightning storm -which
passed over this section set a number
of fires in spite of the fact that there
was consderable rain following tho
storm.
Orville Osborn has been amusing
himself near the summit of Grizzly,
taking care of a fire while Ranger
Rily Warren entertains himself ln a
like manner with a couple of fires on
the Trout Creek Watershed. Ed.,
Bennett has been looking after the
fire on the south side of Wild Cat
Mountain.
The prompt action of the field
force usually results ln extinguishing
such fires within a few hours after
they are reached.
The very dense smoke which has
been in evidence most of th time for
the past couple of weeks evidently
comes from fires west of the Cascades
on the McKenzie and Santiam watersheds.
