This is not the Fire Marshal warning of the usual type. There is a very urgent reason for ihls warning. The woods just now are filled with military patrols witrt rig Id instructions to shoot public ene mies caught setting fire to the for ests. Therefore, it Is doubly necessary to be careful as military patrols, while instructed to exercise every precaution, might possibly maka a mistake. These miltiary patrols are operat ing In every part of Oregon where forests are to be found. Their loca tion is not revealed for obvious rea sons. They move from place to place and keep to cover as much as possi ble. Their task is that of huntiug down public enemies who have been firing the Oregon forests, and they are under orders from the Western Dpartment of the Army to deal In stantly and vigorously with such pub lic enemies. So if necessory for you to go into the woods, be careful about ligrting fires. No doubt It would be better to keep out of the woods unless yon have urgent business therein. s si 8$ 6 rucK. will haul as much a your st iWo-Morse Teams. 1 ft MOW sell all your horses except those you need for work V in the field.
