Thisanounce ment was made to day by the District Forester at Portland, Oregon. Heretofore, camping sites hotel sites and the like could be rented, at a nominal foe, under special use permit. While this permit was given for an indefinite period, it was revocable by any govern ment officer at any time Under the terms of the new law, however, such sites may be leased for a term of years - and -iiof oren the President j of the United States oan oan cel a lease exoept for viola tion of its provisions.
