Worst Period of Year at Hand
From now until fall rains set in in earnest we
will be passing through the worst fire danger
period of the year. Field and forest are just right
lor the type of fires that give deepest concern to
range and forest managements. Everything is
tinder dry; water in the streams is almost nil
well, the stage is all set if some thoughtless per
son tosses a match, flips a cigarette, or hammers
out live dottle from a pipe on to dry grass or
other inflammable material in the woods.
It requires constant hammering to educate the
public on the proper use of our forests and it is
conceivable that the program to Keep Oregon
Green is getting results. It must be remembered
that back of the desire to keep the state green is
the thought of preserving a great industry as
well as making it a more desirable place in
which to live and a joy to visitors from other
states.
Picknicking in the mountains is a pleasure en
joyed by thousands of Oregonians. Most people
are thoughtful and leave a clean picnic spot.
It is the small minority who do not acquaint
themselves with the rules of forest usage who
must be watched and cautioned. One match can
start a terrible fire and as we approach the early

fall we should bear in mind that the big burns Wednesday for Portland where
he goes to attend the first meet
ing of the food conservation
usually start about this time.
If you plan a Labor day picnic in the moun
tains, go prepared to help preserve this priceless
heritage which is one of Oregon's greatest assets.
Rodeo Season Is Here
More direct evidence of the approach of Rodeo
time is to be seen on Heppner streets this year
than for several seasons past. Cowboy hats,
neckties, shirts, and other regalia indicative of
the time when such attire was really dress up
for the boys of the range are to be seen on every
hand, the list growing longer each day.
This is an indication that renewed interest in
community life is taking hold of the citizens,
many of them at least, and that so far as the
Kodeo is concerned if it is worth putting on at all
it is worth putting on in the best manner at'our
command.
There may be some fun over the dress up order
before the week is out and it is to be hoped that
"offenders" will not take offense at the type of
punishment meted out. It is all being done to
help advertise the show and to help stir up some
of the dry bones, civically speaking.
Drive Carefully
Another two-day week-end holiday will be ob
served this week, the annual Labor Day event
which is participated in by the nation at large
and which calls for countless vacation trips. La
bor Day does not mark the official closing of
summer, neither does it mark the official open
ing of fall, yet it comes at a time when the har
vest is quite generally completed and is the
break between that period and the opening of
school. For that reason literally millions of peo
pie take a last fling at the summer vacation per
iod and plan trips here and there, some for short
distances only and other at distances too great
to be covered without great speed.
The National Safety Council has issued a four-
point safety rule for the week end which vaca
tioners will do well to follow to the letter:
Start early enough; don't drive too fast; keep
constantly alert to danger, and above all, don'
drink anything of an alcoholic nature.
If these rules are followed you will be more apt
to be in your usual place come Tuesday morning.

Management is far from satis
fied. Labor is anything but sat
isfied. In its present form it will
not help Mr. Taft's campaign for
the presidency. It is a hot potato
with the rank and file of poltti
cians. Some of the wise old king
makers are calling the act a sure
receipt for a third party. Others
see in it the rebirth of the repub
lican party. The hard-boiled em
ployer, whom it was supposed to
please, is sneering at it and call
ing it ten thousand words of false
hope. At least, the sponsors ad
mit, " it is only a good start."

Railroad Company
Prepares Booklet
For Water Users
Twenty-five thousand copies of
an Irrigation booklet designed to
assist agriculturists in western
states is being distributed this
week by Union Pacific railroad's
agricultural development divi
sion. The purpose of the booklet was
explained by A. J. Seitz. the com
pany's vice president In charge of
traffic, who in its foreword stated
that "a new irrigation era is just
beginning."
'The Union Pacific railroad of
fers this booklet as a practical ir
rigation guide," Mr. Seitz explain
ed. "New irrigators will find
it a source of many easily under
stood and helpful suggestions. It
Is hoped also that experienced ir
rigation farmers can profitably
adapt some of the ideas to their
farms."
Containing 25 illustrations, the
32-page booklet is handily div
ided into topics. Major sections
include a history of irrigation,
land preparation, methods of ir
rigation, irrigating crops, devel
oping irrigated farms, and soil
fertility.
J. W. Jarvis, supervisor of the
agricultural development depart
ment, said that distribution is be
ing made through cooperation of
the National Reclamation associ
ation, the Bureau of Reclamation
of the Department of the Interior,
the reclamation associations of 11
western states served by Union
Pacific, county agents, and voca-
ional agriculture teachers.

can be drawn only by about for
ty per cent of 17.000 claimants
during the 1947-1948 benefit year.
Payments to food-processing
workers for the first time since
the close of the war totaled more
than those to shipbuilding and

cent of the checks went to can

DAM ROAD COSTS
Working plans for legislation
will be submitted by State High
way Engineer U. H. Baldock to
the executive committee of the
American Association of Highway
officials that should save the tax
payers of Oregon millions of dol
lars in road construction costs re
suiting from the building of fed
eral dams by the United States
corps of engineers and the recla
mation service. The committee
will present the legislation at the
January session of congress.
The dam authority is now au
thorized to replace roads leading
around dam sites just as they
were originally, but under the
new proposal, additional costs re
sulting from new locations as
well as widening of roadways,
necessitated by increased traffic
would be borne by the federal
government. Authorization was
given for $75,000,000 for forest
road construction. However, con
gress appropriated only $9,800,000
for the work during the next 12
months.
