Many Notable Westerners Ex pected as Speakers for Ses sions of Sheep Raisers to Be Held Here Next Month. ' a i i m 110! Ik i. v,-Protection against forest fires will be one of the chief topics of discussion at the regular quarterly meeting of ; the Orogon Conservation association to be held In the green room of the Portland Commercial club tomorrow evening at1 8 olclock. Many other matters of im portance will be brought up. . An expensive lesson was learned last year when the state afi caught in-: adequately protected against fires that swept through the timbered districtf and not only .destroyed immense bodies of trees but also did thousands of dol lars worth of damage to farm proper ties and livestock. It Is hoped to safeguard against a repetition of such destruction by having the state Ufke a more -active Dart and the Conservation, association will unite with other organisations and the state ,board of forestry. In presenting to ths next legislature for adoption an amend ment to the Oregon forest, fire law. KZA--f'-'P-'r'!Oneoa Tar Behind. It la conceded that although It has more at stake than any other state, Oregon Is far behind in forest legisla tion. Excepting ha land itself, the forests of 1 the state are regarded its most valuable natural resource, . and tneir , protection is considered of Ira perative importance to all classes of pltiiens alike. ,: Other forest states have seen the- ne cessity for protection against fire, it is poinea out, and are constantly improv ing their, forest1 laws. - Pennsylvania upends 1180,000 a year New York 1118, 000, Main $64,000, and it Is further pointed out that no state that ban be jrun this work has ever seen fit to abandon the policy or sought to reduce itne amount annually appropriated, r .The legislature of. 1906-07 rcoomlaed the necessity of forest laws to some ex tent and created a board of forestry. charged with investigating conditions and recommending further advisable leg islation. It neglected, however, to pro vide funds for. doing any, real work. bo the board could only report to the next session that its facilities were insufficient-to do much more than em phatlcally urgeuhe creation of a state office to givevthe subject as much study and attention as are provided for other Industries and resources of the state, and 'to. take immediate steps to reduce ine nre evil. , x . ' i i Plana S.r Tntitfn. " While plans are only tentative so far it. is believed that the best system for application In Oregon la a policy which places .a large share of the financial burden on the tlmbet owner; ; relieves the state by leaving the execution of actual work with the timber owner to the extent that bis interest and prac tical competence tends to secure jfflcl iry'ajid tc'onortiy; make the state bear ...lust enough' Of the flnapclal burden to discharge its .obligations, secure- public interest, encourage the maximum of ' private effort, and insure adequate pro , taction of life and prosperity in' time of need; glvoa enough state supervision to Insure honest execution and enough .state backing to enforce the fire-laws against all offenders, and provides, fa cilities for collecting and disseminating Information that will develop and im prove the state's forest' policy. . The provisions under which It la prn- .. posed to apply the recommended law are .summarized as follows; t ., : some Desired Provisions. : - A trained, practical, non-polltlcal state forester. , Sufficient assistance to the state for ester in apprehending? violators of the fire laws. .: . ;. ' "r ; Provisions for taking the necessary steps to protect life and property from l fire when publlo safety so demands. ' 4 Encouragement of timber owners and counties in better organization for pro t tectlve work. " i! . fleneral improvement of the fire) laws. - Careful coordination . of the above points in a way which will permit svs t matlc cooperation of all agencies for fire prevention' and not . restrict any from' constantly growing; In efficiency along such lines as the future shall prove best , 1 Interest in the coming convention of the National Woolgrowera' association to be held, In this city January 4, 6, 6, and 7, is increasing daily and spread ing all over the country where any in? terest. whatsoever is taken in the sheep or wool Industry, t The convention will be held in the Armory and' in addition to the work of the business sessions there will be many social features, . in cluding: receptions, banquets and sight seeing trips through the city.
