Douglas,, Coos, Curry and JoscpliJno Counties Better Patrolled. GRANTS PASS, Ore., July 10. To guard against forest fires in the big fir and pine reserves of southern Oregon, the national forest service, through its southern Oregon divi sion, is taking extra precautions and placing larger crews In the woods. Forest fires have done considerable destruction to the big trees of the reserves In years past. Supervisor M. J. Anderson has es tablished camps of rangers jn every district of the reserves of Douglas, Coos, Curry and Josephine counties. More men are on guard this year than ever before, and it is believed that the breaking out of fires can be prevented. Once started It is impossible to stop the forest fires, and the men employed by the service will arrest every violator of the forest service rules, Only one fire has occurred thus far this season, and this was a comparatively small blaze in the fir timber near West Fork, southern Douglas county. Rangers put it out before it spread. To better protect the forests, tele phone lines have been strung from the headquarters In Grants Pass to all the main camps and the camps themselves are connected by wire. MRS. MATLOCK ASKS DIVORCE.
