Space and Papers Give Columns
to Local Stamp Sales.
La Grande, Union county and the La
Grande Evening Observer are getting
into vigorous action in preparation for
the War Saving Stamp drive.
Particularly noticeable is the manner
in which the advertisers of La Grande
are coming to the support of. the War
Saving Stamp cause, as shown by the
La Grande Observer. The large ma
jority of the advertisers of the city have
donated space ordinarily used by them to
the furtherance of the War Stamp drive,
while the news columns of the paper
show that great interest is being taken
by the business people and citizens gen
erally In the work. A big rally was held
last Tuesday, at which Governor Withy
combe was the principal speaker, while
many of the prominent business and pro
fessional men of the city and county
were also on the program pledging their
assistance in the campaign just being
launched.
Frederick L. Meyers, county chairman
for Union county in the War Savings
Stamp campaign, has been particularly
and consistently active In the promotion
of the preliminary work leading dp to
the drive, and has made effective effort
towards the organization of the county
workers in preparation for the big drive
that Is to be staged on June 28, the day
set aside by President Wilson as "Pledge
Day." At this time the public Is ex
pected to sign cards pledging their reg
ular subscriptions in sufficient amounts

to put Oregon over the top In raising
its quota.
All consumers of coal In Oregon, ex
cept householders, will be listed and
classified Immediately by Fuel Adminis
trator Holmes in accordance with the
distribution program of the United
States administration. The names of
consumers and their needs and the kind
of work their enterprises are engaged
in will be gathered as rapidly as possi
ble. The survey is being made in response
to a request from Judge Edwin B.
Parker, priorities commissioner, and
presages the Issuance of a preference list
under which industries engaged in war
work will be given the first call on
available fuel.
In a statement just issued the war
industries board discovers the creation
at this time of industries which will uti
lize fuel, materials and men which will
not contribute directly or indirectly to
ward the winning of the war. The
board, however, has not endeavored to
classify any legitimate business enter
prise as '-non-essential," and later when
the fuel preference lists are published
every effort will be made to supply all
Industries with their requirements as
nearly as possible. It must be borne in
mind, however, that essential Indus
tries will have first call on fuel.
The steps now being taken by the
government Indicate that Oregon, along
with the remainder of tlte nation, will
be forced to curtail fuel consumption.

Preparations for fighting forest fires
were taken Thursday when H. L. Plumb,
forest assistant at the district forest
office, sent out to supervisors in Oregon
and Washington 11 ten-men emergency
kits, 38 six-men kits and 42 two-men
kits.
The kits will be distributed by the su
pervisors to the different rangers in
their districts. The klta contain a com
plete set of camping and cooking uten
sils and save time in reaching fires be
cause they are ready for use and the
men do not have to scurry about getting
their own outfits.
About $09 food rations to go with the
two men kits have been ordered by Mr.
Plumb and will be sent out as soon as
they arrive. No food rations are fur
nished with the larger kits, since more
time is taken for preparation and food
can be purchased aa It Is needed.
With the two men kits and their ac

be lost by the men In reaching the scene
