FORESTS ARE NOT SAFE SOLDIERS TOLD TO DEAL VIGOR OUSLY WITH FIREBUGS. Unless Person Have Urgent Business In Timber They Had Better Re main Arraf, Warning Given. All persons entering the forests must be extremely careful at this time about lighting fires. This is not the fire marshal warning of the usual type. There is a very urgent reason for this warning. The woods Just now are filled with military patrols with rigid Instructions to shoot publio enemies caught setting fire to the forests. Therefore it is doubly necessary to be careful, as military . patrols, while instructed to exercise every precaution, might possibly make a mistake. These military patrols are operating in every part of Oregon where forests are to be found. Their location is not revealed 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 for ests, and they are under orders from the Western Department of the Army to deal instantly and vigorously with suh public encmie. - So. if necessary for you to go Into the woods, be careful about lighting fires. Xo doubt it would be better to keep out of the woods unless you have urgent business therein. . Three Marriage Licenses Issued. OREGOX CITY". Or.. Aug. 29. (Spe cial.)
