that the forest fire emergency now
existing requires unusual action.
All persons now in the forests are
required to come out and establish
camps along the several highways.
No fire permits will be issued to
anyone, except for established camp
grounds along roads and all camp
fire permits now in force for other
areas are automatically cancelled by
the closing order. Fourteen nation

Baldwin Extolls Butler
As Sinnott's Succercor
Declares Dalles' Man Eminently
Fitted aad Says His Election is
Foregone Conclusioa
Edward D. Baldwin, ex-assistant
U. S. atteroney for Oregon and later
secretary to Congressman Nick Sin
nott, has the following to say re
garding the fitness of Judge R R.
Butler as successor to Sinnott in
congress: , -
"The citizens of the Second Ore
gon district are fortunate indeed to
have the chance to vote for Judge
Butler of The Dalles to succeed Nick
Sinnott in Congress. I do not know
of anyone better fitted to follow in
the capable official footsteps of our
former representative in Congress
than he. . We have the same home
town, I have known him well . for
years. .
"Bob Butler is about the same
age that Sinnott was when first
elected to Congress. The command
ing position in the house held by
Sinnott at the time he resigned was
due in no small degree to the fact
that the voters were wise enough to
keep him in Congress for nearly half
a generation. Seniority in service
is the rule in congresional committee
placements. Butler is a talented
lawyer, a deep student of constitu
tional law and history, and has a
clear, thinking analytical mind. No
carelessly drawn or half-baked legis
lation should escape his scrutiny.
Like Sinnott, he made a fine record
in the Oregon state senate.
"Bob Butler is a convincing and
captivating speaker, in my judgment,
the equal of any member of the
House ' of Representatives today.
Oratory of exceptional quality is still
a great factor in making a member
stand out from among his colleagues
and quickly attain a position where
he can do things for his district and
country. From the day. Nick, Sin

"Boh Butler has a personality

Watching the wheels of Congress re

of them and 'cotton to him' at once.
He 'talks their language' in aoica
