BIG FORCE TO BE IN WOODS Iuiuber Interests to Have Patrol ot 600 Men Ready for Emergencies. Campers Will Be Warned and Cloth' Signs Posted. Protection of forests from nr by means of an educational campaign will be the main feature of the work of the state forestry department during; the fire season this year. At 'a meeting yesterday of the State Forestry Board, held in the forestry headquarters In the Yeon building, plans for systematic protection . work were outlined and State Forester Elliott was instructed to begin at once the organization of a force of workers for the state and for the various lumber and timber land owners and interests. ' At the meeting were Governor West. L. S. Hill, of Cot tage Grove; J. H. Buxton, ofr Forest Grove; George L, Feavle, of Corvallls; A. P. Sprague, of Portland, and F. A. Elliott, State Forester. The state will have 75 paid patrol men to guard the forests and carry on the educational work, the various coun ties will have special guards and the timber owners and lumber companies will have about 600 men in the Held. All will serve during the rest of June and during July, August, September and the first part of October under the direction of the State Forester and nil assistants. - Prevention Will Be Watchword. The plan to be worked out will be along the line of Are prevention instead of fire fighting. To make this possible the full force of patrolmen will be deputized and will start as soon as possible to visit lumber camps, the homes of settlers, farmers and campers and explain to them the need of using precaution . in the handling of . fires where there is danger of its spreading. Warnings will be given against leav ing camp fires or carelessly throwing away cigarette or cigar stumps in places where fires might be started in consequence. - Figures have been complied to show the damage a forest fire does to & com munity, and these will be made use of in the educational work. It will be shown that while a fire might not dam age directly the property of many of the residents of a community, every resident Buffers loss by reason of the value of the timber and the. wages which would be paid to prepare It for the mills. It will be shown that every acre of timber destroyed costs the state as a whole, and the community where the fire occurs In particular, a large amount of money. ' ' Aid of Settlers Asked. The forest patrolmen will elicit the aid of settlers and campers In the pre vention of fires, and will ask them to spread- the gospel of proper protection to all newcombers In the forest sections not visited by the deputies. In addition to this, cloth signs will be posted throughout the forest sec tions warning the public against starl ing fires or being careless with cigar, ettes, cigars, lighted matches or camp fires. These signs will be posted in all places where campers. or others can see and read them. Manv of the counties already have Taken steps to protect the forests, ac cording to reports received by Forester Elliott within the last few days. The County Court of Columbia County has appropriated $700 for the work, and the County Court of Jackson County has given $500. Others will make appro priations within the next few days. ' ' Timber Owners Hire Bis; Force. Investigation of the plans of the tim ber owners show that they will employ a force of at least 600 men, which is much larger than usual. These men will be prepared at all times not only to SDread warnings and carry on edu cational work, but also to fight fires. The aom-ODriatlon of 160,000 made ai the last session of the State Legisla ture to cover the forest Are work dur ing 1911 and 1912 will be exhausted at the end of this year, according to re-. ports submitted to the Board. The amount nas not Deen Bumueni iu umiy on the work to the extent desired, and ' for that reason the next Legislature will be asked to appropriate $200,000 for the work during 1913 and 1914. A. P. Sprague. a member of the For estry Board, declared yesterday that the people are greatly interested in ior r nrotectlon. and he believes the Leg-: Islature . will appropriate the $200,000 asked. The fact that the timner ana lum ber interests pay one-half of the taxes of the state." said Mr. Sprague, "should ontitln them to the best of protection. An appropriation of $200,000 Is actually needed for the work." DR. PLAMONDON APPLIES State Board Considers Men to Head . Branch Insane Hospital. SALEM, Or.. June 15. (Special.) Dr. J.
