PRESERVE OUR SCENIC
BEAUTY
F irlv this week there was a haze over some of the Gal
leys of Southern Oregon. That haze was caused by the
forerunner of the season’s forest tires. With spring
scarcely open we are seriously reminded of the terrible
destruction which comes to the country’s forests every
year.
We hope that the people will take the early omen as
a lesson and will do everything within their power to
check any possibility of forest tires in Oregon this season.
The winter has been dry and the summer will, no doubt,
be hot with the result that early in the season there will
be a luxuriant growth of dry grass as a mantle for our
hill sides. This will increase the tire hazard and will call
for greater caution by the people who would use our for
ests as a means to escape the heat of the city and valley.
Those people who were raised in the wooded hills of
Oregon little appreciate the great value of the green hills
and wooded valleys—they h*.ve become accustomed to
them. Their beauty, their coolness and their verdure
have become commonplace. But to the traveler within
our gates—the people from the big cities, with no sur
cease from the torrid temperature save the overcrowded
parks, the dweller from the barren plateaus and plains
from other parts of the country where the hills reflect
back the heat from the thirsty earth in mockery to the
parched and uncomfortable residents—they act as a tonic
which, soothes.
Oftentimes the remark of a tourist about our beautiful
hills draws a chuckle from the native. It seems queer to
one who has become accustomed to the pleasant recrea
tional opportunities of this wonderland of ours, that any
one should draw sentiment from the hills which have be
come so monotonous to persons who have always lived
among them. Yet, let the person who scoffs at the lovli-
ness of our wooded lands go but a few miles in any direc
tion from home and they will soon find that there is com
fort in these hills.
Nature has been kind to Southern Oregon. She has
given us a climate which is incomparable.
She has
wooded our hills and valleys. She has stocked our streams.
Besides these facts she has filled our valleys with a fer
tile and prolific soil. We can but hope that the people of

Camels contain such tobaccos a n d such
