ttarml
At 3:55 p. m. the lookout on
_
_
a
High Heaven ridge
sighted
splotch of darker gray in the haze
below. He located it near a trav­
eled road. Mid-August, the road­
side grass tinder-dry, a live cig­
arette tossed from a car, and
now smoke. The lookout remem­
bered.............
The Tillamook fire, which brot
smoky night to the land and car­
ried clouds of ashes to the sea.
The area burned m the Tillamook
fire was 244,706 acres. The vol­
ume of timber killed was 10,257,-
517,000 board feet, nearly three
times the West Coast cut in 1933.
Six years of direct employment
for 14,000 men and a loss in lum-
ber values alone of $275.000.000
The burned
went up in smoke,
timber would have built one mil­
lion small homes...................
It was five years later when the
lookout on High Heaven ridge
spotted the roadside smoke. As
he telephoned the Forest Grove
district headquarters of
the
Northwest Fire association, re-
membering the Tillamook, he shiv-,
ered despite the heat. This might ,
be another such disaster. Condi­
tions were about the same. Un­
less luck was good........ -
It was. Speeding for another
fire, one reported earlier, District
Warden Kyle and Local Warden
Burk came upon the blaze below
High Heaven ridge just as it be­
gan to spread. There was a creek
nearby and the wardens had a
portable pump. One warden put
water on the fire, while the other
sped to th«« nearest telephone 1
Soon loggers were h«?ading down
from a mountain camp and state
and federal fire suppression crews I
were on their way.
The fire was out within a few :
hours. Quick action had prevented |
another Tillamook bum
And j
quick action can check every for- :
est fire during the dangerous fire
month of August. State Forester !
Nelson S. Rogers asks the forest ,
using public to be lookouts for,
national defense. Watch for fire ;
and report to the nearest warden.
NEBRASKANS PICNIC
About 75 people attended the
picnic dinner at the gathering of
former Nebraskans in Li thia park
Sunday. Several others who could
not get there for the picnic came
in later to greet friends. After din­ I
ner several people gave news of
their home counties in Nebraska.
The retiring president, William
Cooney of Medford, talked briefly
and conducted the business ses­
sion. New officers elected for the
coming year were T. L. O’Harra,
president and J. A. Bradshaw,
secretary, both of Ashland.
EXPLOSIVES TAUGHT AT OSC
A special five-weeks course in
the chemistry of explosives was
started at Oregon State college
Monday, Aug. 4. to train some 35
advanced chemistry students of
the Pacific northwest to become
inspectors in ammunition plants
during the defense emergency
period. The course, given here at
the request of the government,
will be conducted during the same
period that the second summer
session is in progress.

Did you ever think of advertising
as a short cut, a time saver?
As a matter of fact, that's all it is
It enables a store or fatdory with a
lot of merchandise to sell to find a
lot of people who want it.
The ¡teople who use advertising find
it the cheapest way of doing this
job.
Which helps to keep prices down.

Hindsight has it from a relia­
ble source that Charlie Jandrcau
sparkplug on Ashland high foot­
ball teams for the past two years
will not don a uniform when the
Grizzlies turn out for practice un­
der new coach Frank O'Neil next
month. The source said Jandreau
thinks the beating he takes each
season is doing him no good. His
miniature size has him on the
spot when playing the bigger
schools of the conference. How- -
ever, this is only a rumor despite
it's reliable surce and don't blame
this column if Jandreau shows up
for practice and turns in th«« best
performance of his brilliant high
school career. In spite of his size,
he's one of the best backfield men
in this part of the state and can
cause trouble for any opponent.
