University of Oregon Gateway to The Oregon Caves Illinois Valley News A Live Wire Newspaper Published in the Interests of the Illinois Valley and Surrounding Districts Volume X. National Forest Is Now Closed < A » Cave Junction, Oregon, Thursday, July 13,1914 No. 11 The Siskiyou National Forest was closed in Oregon on July 12 to entry except by permit. The closure was made effective by a proclamation signed by Governor Karl Snell. The Bolan Lake road, Bolan Lake, and the Happy Camp road will be open this year as well as the Oregon Caves and Redwood highways. The roads are open to travel only, and the area at Bo lan Lake is limited to one quarter of a mile from the lalee shore. Recreational use of the forest is limited to the main highways and to Bolan Lake, the road to the lake and the Happy Camp road. Entrance permits are grant ed to miners, prospectors, cattle men and loggers. No entrance permit is required of those living within the National Forest except when they wish to enter the timber land off of their premises. Per mits may be obtained locally at the Redwood Ranger station and the Store Gulch Guard station. Campfire permits are required of all users of the forest, except at their homes, and must be se cured if campfires are planned at Bolan Lake. The closure is required by the vital necessity of preventing for est fires. All available man power must be kept on the highly essen tial job of producing war goods, and our natural resources of stand ing timber must be protected. Forest fires not only disrupt the war effort but also destroy power transmission and communi cation lines, transportation sys tems, and our homes. The people of the Illinois Valley have shown what can be done in preventing forest files. Our slate has been clean for the last two seasons. Let’s add the third one this summer. Remember! Prevent Forest Fires! There is more danger than ever now! MILK CANS ARE NOW RATION FREE FIRST AC TUAL INVASION FILMS TO BE SHOWN A great program awaits theater goers this week. Manager Taylor has “Bomber’s Moon“ and the first showing of actual invasion films. “Bombers Moon’’ is about a Yank flyer who pilots an Amer ican bomber over Germany, and a young woman doctor serving in the Red Cross Medical Corps. These two are the central char^* acters with George Montgomery and Annabella starred in the lead ing roles. Leading a bomber mission over Germany, George's plane is shot down—but not before he has seen his your.g brother brutally machine guryied to death as he parachutes to earth. In a Nazi internment camp, George meets Annabella, a cap tured Red Army doctor who min isters to the camp’s prisoners. Dur ing an air raid the two manage separate escapes—and meet out side the prison. Joining forces, they begin the dangerous journey across Germany to Holland, from where they hope to escape to Eng land. The climax of the film, in which they both obtain their revenge upon the enemy, is said to be one of the most exciting that has ever capped a motion picture.

The bus will make seven trips a week. The company is starting out with a 21 passenger bus, but Pub lic Utility Com. George H. Flagg, in a communication to The News stated that the company would have to have a 40 per cent load each trip if the schedule is to be maintained. This will require eight passengers daily. The bus is on trial for a 30 day period. Leaving Cave Junction at 8:30 a. m. the bus arrives in Grants Pass at 9:30. It leaves Grants Pass at 5 :20 arriving in Cave Junc tion at 6:20 p. m. This gives seven hours and 40 minutes time to transact your business in the county seat town. If one has an emergency call and only needs to be in Grants Pass a very short time, you can take the morning bus in and come home on the Crescent City bus, which would allow 30 minutes in the city, the Crescent City bus leaving at 10 a. m. arriving in Cave Junction at 11.

Obye, super visor of Siskiyou National Forest, announced recently. The bridge will make it possible for a direct route from O’Brien to Smith River, California, connect ing the old Wimer road and the Lodavide road. This is the ap proximate route known by the old- timers as the McGrew road, Mr. Obye said. The construction will include a Howe truss bridge with a span of 137 '4 feet between the concrete abutments, which were built by the Forest Service two years ago, and will be about 30 feet above the water.

The rationing of milk cans to farmers and dairymen has been discontinued, according to Ray mond Lathrop, County AAA chair man. This means that farmers and dairymen may purchase milk cans without restrictions from ; their regular supplier. If wholesalers of milk cans have insufficient supplies to meet the demand, they may appeal to the War Food Administration for a release of cans from the manu facturer. These appeals should be sent to the county agent’s office, who in turn will send it to the State AAA committee for their recommendation. ■o The bride was lovely in a bouf fant skirted white organza gown with a short train, with a finger tip veil falling from a tint flow ered cap, and carried a pink and white shower bouquet of roses and bouvardia.

ARMY PILOTS LEARN FULL PANEL’ INSTRUMENT FLYING Price Five Cents STATE GUARD TO BE KEPT UP Chamber of The war department is inter ested in maintaining the Oregon state guard on a high plane of ef ficiency, and that desire also is shared by the state military de- ' partment and by Governor Earl Snell, state guard officers were told Friday night at the Portland armory in their'first official meet- I ing with the new state acting ad- | jutant general, Lt. Col. Raymond ! F. Olson. Governor Snell is very desirous of maintaining a high state of ef ficiency, said Col. Olson, a veteran of many years of service in the army and Oregon national guard, who returned to the United States in February of 1943 after service ! in the southwest Pacific with the 41st division. “It will be my goal to help main- | tain the state guard as an out standing military organization, coparable to the distinction en joyed by Oregon national guard units of the 41st division, when it ranked among the top outfits of the nation,” he said, after being introduced to the guard officers by Brig. Gen. Ralph P. Cowgill, commanding general of the state guard. Proof that the war department is vitally interested in the state guard is found in the fact that fed eral allotment of arms, ammuni tion and equipment has been in creased, said Maj. B. G. Groth, army instructor to the state guards of Oregon and Washington. “The state guard today and in the future is going to be a lot more important than it ever was in the past. Keep your units filled up. Keep up your recruit- l ing,” said Maj. Groth. Commerce Discussions Last Monday evening at Clara’s Bungalow Coffee shop, the Illin ois Valley Chamber of Commerce held an interesting meeting which brought out a lot of constructive thinking and probably some fu ture action. Notice from Commissioner Geo. H. Flagg stated that the Grey hound bus line had been authorized to start a new schedule for Cave Junction and towns north. M. C. Athey was appointed a committee of one to see what has happened to the Happy Camp road situation. This road came in for considerable discussion, and the chamber and the entire valley res idents would like to see a better road to Happy Camp. Post war activities were also discussed at length. Through all these talks some favorable action may get good results. A motion was made to ask the American Legion post to appoint a commit tee to work with a like committee from the chamber on post war ac tivities. W m. McLean has brought up several times the suggestion that an executive committee go over the business of the chamber before meeting time and take some suit able action and bring this to the membership. This would save con siderable time in discussing plans that are eventually tabled, and leave the short time the members have to take care of constructive matters. Further study is going to be made on this subject. Another Contribution Next meeting of the chamber Left for Fire Truck will be Monday, July 24th.

The United States Army pilot must fly in all kinds of weather. And, as the airlines had well dem onstrated before the war, to fly in all kinds of weather, the pilot must depend on instruments. United States Army pilots in flying school were formerly taught what was known as the “1-2-3 sys tem” of instrument flying. Only three instruments were ^sed the ' turn indicator, the ball bank indi cator and the airspeed indicator. But combat airplanes became much faster and more maneuver able. The “1-2-3 system" wasn’t enough for the Flying Fortresses, the Liberator or the Thunderbolt.
