THE PRESS, ATHENA, OREGON SEPTEMBER 18, 1931 ACCESS TO FORESTS BENEFIT TO II TES Restrictions Preclude Hunt ing in Small Area of the National Parks. Salem. Restrictions relative to ac cess to forest areas at the opening of the hunting season on September 20 were outlined here in a statement is sued by the co-operative forest pro tective agencies of Oregon. The state ment was released by Lynn Crone miller, state forester. "At present," the statement read, "less than 5 per cent of Oregon's 26, 000,000 acres of forest land is closed to- all entry and all forms of use. Closures of this character have been made on account of the extreme haz and resulting from the blowdown oc curring, in April, and also in certain snag areas and other special hazards. "An additional 2 per cent of the total forest areas is subject to entry only through permit. These permits may be obtained by anyone desiring to enter restricted areas. The permit may specify any or all of the follow ing requirements: "To build no fires except in places designated as safe in said permit. "To have as a part of his or her equipment tools suitable for extin guishing fire. . "To refrain from smoking except in places designated as safe in said per mit. "Restrictions of this character ap plying to specific areas cannot be re moved until sufficient rain has fallen to reduce this fire danger materially. "Two general restrictions apply only to national forests. These precaution ary measures require that a permit be obtained for all camp fires except at designated camp grounds and that the public refrain from smoking while traveling. These measures Ho tint of. feet entry on forest areas, but pro- viae ruies oi conduct designed to pre vent fires and are efiertivo t,hi heavy fall rains end the danger caus ed Dy me use oi tire m the forests. "On the remaining 93 per cent of the total forest fire A. th Pro nra rn j ..v. ha v aw r strictions limiting entry for hunting or otner lawful use of the forests areas by any Derson. No ndrfiHnnni restrictions will be applied anywhere in tne state either before or after September 20 unless the fire hazard existing in any tarticular localitv may make them essential, to prevent loss or the state s forest resources. Closure to entry and all forms of use for areas of soecial hazard will affect only a small percentage of the total forest areas. The permit sys tem, however, may be applied over more extensive areas, but restrictions of this character do not prohibit hunt ing or other use. They simply estab lish certain safety measures for the use of fire on forest land. No gener al closure affecting statewide areas will be made. "If, with the widely scattered and increased use which will occur with the opening of the hunting season, care with fire is exercised, it probably will be unnecessary to make any fur ther restrictions in the use of forest areas." : . Dempsey Turns Down Offer of Walla Walla Not to be outdone by an unanswer ed teles-ram offering Demnspv S250A c IT T and 50 per cent of the expenses, Carl iNeison, waua Walla V. f. w., pro motor, sent another raising the offer to $3000 for the Manassa Mauler's four-round exhibition hern.' In re ply to this Nelson received the fol lowing telefrram from Leonard Racks Dempsey's manager, last week: Many thanks but sorrv mv nlans will not nermit us to make vour citv this month. Perhaps later. You can get in touch with me at permanent address. Regards. Leonard Sacks." Keen observers believe that this pre cludes any possibility of Dempsey's showing at Walla Walla.

MERICA'S ONLY REFINER OF GERM PROCESSED OIL OFFERS.... U UN cash mmm FOR THE BEST ANSWERS EXPLAINING THE lEBSf-.OIFT IMF AND TELLING HOW THIS QUART BENEFITS MOTORISTS Fact No. 1 Thousands of motorifts and service station men have observed that after a car has been given its firlt ; fill of Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil and is driven 200 to 350 miles, a look at the crankcase gauge shows that about one quart of oil is appar ently missing . . . but Fact No. 2 These same people have noticed that on the second and later fillings with Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil, scarcely a drop of oil will : disappear during the first 3 50 miles and practically none at 500 and up to 1,000 miles!

Remember The "hidden quart" of Germ Processed Oil does not escape through leakage . . does not burn up, wear out nor evaporate. It is "present but unaccounted for." Fact No. 2, given above, proves all this. , After you've found where the "hidden quart" goes, you can easily see the special bene fits it gives the motorist advantages that no other oil can give.
