From now on every public
Spirited citizen should preach
prevention of forest fire. Every
one should exert a real effort to
prevent the starting of forest
fires.
We have ordered and hope to
, receive in time for next week's
issue, a few dozen capital (M)s.
We appreciate the kindness of
friends in bearing with us as
you have in our sometimes em
barrasing attempts to put up
the news with our hitherto mea
gre allowance of that most used
capital letter.
The warm days of a short time
ago emphasized the necessity of
a park for this growing city on
the Deschutes. Could not an
appropriate place be decided up
on, properly fenced and cared
for. tress,' shrubs and grass
planted and cultivated? With
comparatively little expense by
cooperative work we could soon
have a beautiful refreshing resort
to which we could point with
pride and which would be a
wonderful incentive to bring vis
itors to our healthful little city.
Part of the grove below the spring
for instance, trimmed up and ar
ranged, would be beautiful.
