ranfer sees a thin column of smoke

f lxBflnnlnc of a forest fire, and the
ranftr must report It to the proper su
. pervlsor, that fire fighters may be sent
out. For determining the exact location
of the fire a unique instrument called
r a "fire finder used, the Invention of
William B. Osborne Jr., forest exam
! Iner. which la on the principle of an
engineer's transit with a number of lm
. provements.
A perfectly level cedar base board, a
' lower plate of soft gray Iron, an upper
: . plate of Iron which revolves about the
lower plate this much is easy but from
' then on the parts are a little more
.complex. But, to locate the fire, the
' ranger simply squints through a tiny
hole and brings the pointer on the
other side to bear on the smoke. He
then knows the fire lies somewhere on
the line of the steel ribbon running
across the map which is on the second
teel plate. The exact distance on the
line Is estimated by a comparison of all
the topographic features along the line
of sight with those shown on the map.
Locatod by Angles
Another way, a little more complex.
Is by finding the horizontal angle or
; aslmuth of transit precision by using a
' little Instrument Just below the rear
alght. . By platting the intersection of
, ; these angles from two or more stations,
the exact location of the fire may be
' determined.
Or the vertical angle of transit pre-
cision may be found by the indicator I
and tangent scale on the front sight, and

graphic profile of the topography along
the line of sight be platted.
Btlll another method, more Interesting
than the last two, consists In putting a
strip of celluloid around the edge of
the map, and after sighting the fire, re-
leasing a spring which supports a pen-
ell which drops and runs along, platting

FEW FOREST FIRES
ARE EXPECTED THIS
SEASON
BY EXAMINER
R. H. Chapler Returns From Trip
to Secure Cooperation of Gov
ernment, State, Individuals.
R. H. Chapler, forest examiner. In the
district forester's office for a brief stay
after a two weeks' trip over the entire
state for. the purpose of securing co
operation of the government, state and
organized private Interests for protec
tion from forest fires during the summer,
reports that, while the organizations are
weaker this year than ever, large num
bers having enlisted, the chances for
fires are much less, owing to a favorable
prospect for rainfall during the summer.
"All indications are that it will be an
easy fire season," said Mr. Chandler.
"Nice weather during May and June
nearly always means rain later in the
season when It is needed. Furthermore,
while the organizations are depleted with
men, they, still have their supervisors
and wardens who are above draft age,
and on whom rests the greatest respon
sibility," The hree interests combine In fighting
flre"luring the- summer and the terrl
tify Is divided between them, so there
may.jbe no duplication."
Mr. Chapler leaves Tuesday evening
for Washington, where he .will tour the
state in the same way. In an effort to
coordinate the workers.

On the Shores of Lake Wahtum at the
foot of Mount Chlnldere, with the spe
cial , permission of the tinited States
forest service, which will allow no otner
building in the region, the Portland
council of the Boy Scouts of America
will build- their permanent summer
camp.
The decision' was reached at the meet
ing or the executive committee of the
Boy Scouts Thursday afternoon, when
the recommendations of tne . advisory
camp committee were approved. Work
on the new building will commence
within 10 days, and It is hoped the main
bnildlnsr will be completed by July 10.
The main building will be constructed
entirely of logs. In the center will be
the btsr dining-room and assembly hall,
open from the windows up with big log
supports fitted with shutters, which
may be closed on rainy nights. In the
wings will be the offices, storerooms
and dormitories for members of the
executive committee and visitors.
Balldlag of Logs
Since all suppltes must be packed up
to the lake, logs win te used almost
entirely for building, even the floor
being of small poles. A rustic effect
throughout the camp is the Idea of the
committee. Before the main building
will be space for bonfires when the
boys want them. The building will be
under the superlvsloik of the forest ser
vice. All the outside buildings will be
built by the Boy Scouts themselves.
The boys will also build log floats
for swimming, rafts, acnoes and boats
for water sports.
The camp will be under strict Boy
Scout discipline, with every hour In the
day, from reveille In the morning until
taps at night, accounted for. Army
regulations have nothing on the Boy
Scouts for routine work and play
Reveille, wide-awake exercises, flag
ceremony, breakfast, policing tents and
grounds, inspection, swimming, work
flag-raising, dinner, quiet hour, lmprov
ing camp, running trails, games, fishing,
woodcraft, supper, archery, fireworks,
warning call, tattoo and taps is the
day's program, and the boys must do
things Just as they come, whether they
want to or not. Each morning, after
Inspection of the tents, the numbers of
the best, the second best and the worst
appearing tents are posted on the bui
letln board.
Boys Sleep ta Bsski
The boys will sleep under canvas In
bunks made of wire netting stretched
on wood. Eight boys will be assigned
to one- large tent, which will be
in
charge of a patrol leader selected from
among the boys.
The camp will be In charge of James
E. Brockway. scout executive, who will
have with him several able assistants
and an expert cook. Mr. Brockway
will plan all the meals himself, so as
to give the boys the proper kind of food
paying attention to food values. Each
day the menu will be changed.
Mr. 'Brockway will have a first-aid
outfit along with him, to be used In an
emergency, but it is hts boast that he
never has a boy sick In his camp. N
boy will be allowed to swim except
under adult supervision, and no boy
will be allowed to spend more than 10
cents a day at the camp store, as a pre
caution against Indigestion. When the
boys arrive at the camp they will de
posit all" their money with the camp
banker.
Cost Is Low
Every Boy Scout expecting to attend
the camp must register at the execu
tive office in the Northwestern Bank
building, giving the time which he ex
pects to spend at the camp. Trips will
be made to and from the camp every
week end. Automobiles will be fur
nished, which will take the boys to
Eagle Creek, and from there they will
hike the 13 miles up to the lake. Pack
mules will be on hand to transport their
equipment, consisting of bedding and
other personal necessities. The total
expense to the boys wil be $5 a week.
Plenty of play as well as work will
be provided .for the boys. Woodcraft
will be taught under the direction of a
forest ranger with 20 years experience
In forest work, swimming, scouting,
hikes and other forms of outdoor sports.
With the exception of a small overnight
camp across the lake, no other organi
sation or Individual will be allowed in
the vicinity.

The camp will accommodate 150 boys
at one time and will keep open until
about September 1.
