Mealey, of Sweet Home Is Named for Southern Portion of County. Mr. K. S. Mealey of Sweet Home, Oregon, has been appointed by the state forester as supervising warden tor Southern Linn county. He will have charge of all state, county and private partol work in this county, and cooperate with forest supervisors of the national forests to the greatest possible extent. It is hoped that residents of the county will give him their hearty su port. and consult him in regard to burning permits, of a local nature. He will be in touch with all local wardens and will gladly refer requests for in formation 10 the warden nearest you for any information or assistance he may he able to give. A list of lo cal wardens with their addresses and telephone numbers, will be published in the local papers, when such ap pointments are made. It will be impossible for the state forester to personally inspect all the work done by the numerous supervis ing wardens in his enrdoy, and their success will depend very largely up on the support they receive from the people whom the forestry law is in tended to aid and protect.
