Ad rate on application DRY GRASS BECOMING A PUBLIC MENACE There is no question but what the ram bling horde, ¡s here. Automobiles from the four corners o f.th e nation are new w hisking over out highw ays to places we know not where. They long to see new scenes. They hanker for recreation, they are searching for homes. But what ever their mission they are traveling. I assing and meet ¡ng all day long along the long black ribbons of highw ays which stretch over Oregon. Ever and alw avs. ;>t t ' ' t ami in the days the purring engines may lie heard along these, thoroughfares, and O regon’s second biggest crop is being harvested. Many of these ram blers will stay with us. Many who long for surcease from the noise of the great city or the heat of the prairies, the floods of the low - lands or the bitter cold of the northlands,' will east their lot here where extrem e tem peratures are unknown, where delightful lakes laugh back at an asure sky ami trout stream s sing merrily as they ripple on to the sea. Yes, undoubtedly many of the people who travel through O re gon this summer will return to stay. They will learn to love our fertile valleys and wooded hills. They will be ; wtelcome. During the past tew days the weed situation has be come a real menace to the property of the city. The hot dry days have made them as tinder. Many vacant lots are covered with the dry grass and weeds which grew quite rank this year due to the heavy rainfall during the spring months. This condition creates a real hazard which should be controlled or done aw ay with. It is true many of our citizens have either cut or burned their weeds either out of pride or for safety but many places have not been ♦ ♦ ♦ touched—not even a firebreak dug to lessen the hazard should some careless or thoughtless person set fire to About the only difference in the 4th nowadays and , the dry grass. This m atter should be attended to right a few years ago is that the highest explosive now days away. Either the property owners should burn the grass does its dam age internally instead of burning one’ fing under permit from the city adm inistration or fire chief ers. or else the city should take the job in hand themselves and assess the property owners for the work. “Come on, Mack,” said the pass At any rate the dry grass and weeds should be dis erby to a Scotchman. “ I.i t's go fo r posed of before a dam aging fire is caused. a sail." THE JOKERS CORNER ♦ ♦ ♦ BEW A RE OF FIR E W H EN OUT IN TH E H IL LS Perhaps some of our readers feel that we stress the m atter of fire prevention on the ranges and in the hills, too much but it is a hobby with us. A fter spending the greater part of our life fu rth er east w here pine trees and pleasant camping places were hard to find we cannot help but u tte r a prayer for the stately trees which crown the hills of w estern Oregon. The refreshing vacation grounds, the recreation which aw aits our people and our guests in our forests is one of outstanding features in this great state, or we should say this part of the state. The business man in the city office of any of the w estern Oregon cities can leave his work in the evening get into his car and with his family, m otor into the tim ber country and take their evening meal out in the cool of the mountains. W hy shouldn’t one be solicitous of the w elfare of the people who now live in the valley and who will live here in time to come. We enjoy the lovely recreational ad v an t ages of our state and we want to see them preserved that our posterity m ight also enjoy their refreshing presence. So let us once again admonish our readers to be care ful of fire and caution others who are inclined to be care less to likewise be careful and in thw way, do our bit to preserve the beauty of w estern Oregon. * * ♦ JULY 4TH Today is the anniversary of the birth of our nation. Everyone who has a way to celebrate is doing so in one w ay or another. Hundreds are seeking the shelter of the m ountains to escape the heat of the valleys. M any are at- distant tow ns where celebrations are in progress. Still others are taking advantage of the day to rest at home or indulge in some favorite diversion which does not re quire th at they travel aw ay from home. The people for the most part have gotten aw ay from the use of fire works and firecrackers because their sale is prohibited in most communities. They are assum ing different forms of excitement which may not cause them bodily injury or result in a great property loss. The real thought which July 4th should bring forth has almost been lost sight of. Like most of the great hol idays which we observe in this nation the sentim ental val ue has been displaced by commercialization. The first 4th was the result of a revolt against tyranny.
