ASSURANCE IS
PATROL HERE
Word From United States
; Forest Office is Sent
To Eugene
Statement Confirms Report
That Only Base Will
Be Here
Definite assurance that the forest
airplane patrol will be established
again In Eugene this summer has been
received by It. S. Shelley, supervisor
of, the Si u law nntional forest. This
Information, while not in tended to
forecast the announcement from tho
army air service, is nevertheless offi
cial, as it came from ' the Cnlted
States forest service. "
The Btatment confirms the roporl
recently published to the effect tint
because Kugeue is equipped with a
ninicipal aviation field this city will
ii;j all probability be the only patrol
bate lu the northwest north ox,, Cfl.i
- tf?.!ui
Officer's fcuMtloiietf.
When the announcement was first
published, the air i,crvice officers at
t.'rcssey field. Han Francisco, were
uuestloued, anil replied lli:it no Infor
mation hnd been received by them
that Hie patrol would he resumed, but
that the air service customarily waiU'd
until the Inst minute before ordering
the plnues and pilots to the new tost.
The announcement that KugeLe will
lime the air patrol linne, available for
patrol of Cascade and Sius'aw na
llonal forenls, also means that a large
portion of the .",(I,IHH) appropriated hy
congress for the purpose of "airplane
patrol of nnlionnl foreatt In the norlh
west" will be spent here. The amount
appropriated indicates that the pAtril
will be carried on on a farger cae
than last year, when two airplanes
nnd four fliers from Oeasey field
were on duty.
Commander Uncertain.
Paring the period of low humidity
the filers mmle dnily trlpj over the
forests. The patrol was commsndcil
by Lieutenant I.lojd llnrnett, whose
(''-operation with air service em
ployes nnd Kugene business awn
brought much favorable cnmmrnl
after the patrol was ordered south.
According to the opinion of I0c.1l for
est offi -ers. It is trnersllj hopeil that
Lieutenant Harnett ill sguln he.nl
the pair"! this summer.
