Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hynd who re
turned recently from a trip into the

acre fire that was burning in the
Malneor and Whitman forests as the
resolt of a lightning strike. The fire
was put under control since their
return.
Two thousand men and 17 "cats"
with bulldozers were reported by
the Hynds to be fighting the fire.
Seven camps with 100 to 400 men in
each had been set up. Airplanes were
being used to map the fire and de
liver supplies in some parts.
The Hynds also reported a large
dredge owned by Porter brothers in
operation close to Boundary Creek
guard station near Granite. Two
other smaller dredges are also op
erating near Granite. Granite is sup
plied with electricity and every hab
itable house is occupied. Several
new houses are under construction.
There are many miners around the
town, and it is a lively place these
days. Deer are seen of evenings feed
ing on the meadows.
Hynd brothers have summer al
lotments for sheep near Granite, and
have just returned from shipping
lambs from Baker. The lambs were
taken to the railroad in trucks, sav
ing the long and tiring trailing which
was necessary before the construc
tion of good roads.

A Statement of
Safeway Policy
THE FORCES of market disturbance, fear, and speculation, are at
work. Prices for some basic commodities have already gone up.
Increases in Safeway's retail prices on these items reflect the rise in
wholesale cost, over which Safeway has no control.
It is a fundamental Safeway policy to earn only a small profit
on each sale. Safeway pledges that during the period of war emer
gency it will not change this policy; and that in the future, as here
tofore, it will make every effort through improved methods to re
duce distribution costs the difference between what the farmer
gets and the consumer pays. You will always be able to buy from
Safeway at the lowest prices available anywhere.
Consumers may assist materially in preventing unwarranted
price increases by continuing their purchases on a normal scale.
There are adequate supplies of food stuffs for every American.
Hysterical buying which strips retail and wholesale stocks creates
artificial scarcity, which pushes prices to abnormal levels.
Machinery exists within the government to control produc
tion, storage and release of commodities, imports, exports, quotas
and prices if it should become necessary to employ these meth
ods to protect the economic welfare of the country.
Safeway further pledges complete cooperation with the gov
ernmental agencies and with farmer producers in all efforts to sta
bilize prices; discourage profiteering; and maintain orderly facil
ities for food distribution.
