C. Obye, assistant supervisor of the Rogue river national forest. The statement, reported In the Mall Tribune, was that the U. S. for est service did not look with favor upon the regulation of logging and other Industrial operations In tim bered areas of Oregon. "The Impression created by this statement should be corrected," said Mr. Obye. "As a matter of fact the forest service recognizes the necessity for and supports certain restrictions on these operations during dangerous fire we.it her, such as has prevailed here this season. "There has bcon no appreciable rain since early May and this has re sulted In one of the most critical fire seasons the state has seen In years. In spite of (his fact. losses due to fires escaping from industrial oper ations have been held to a record low level. The forest service uclleves that this record Is due to the cooper ation of the lumbermen and to the Intelligent application by the state forester of the state law." There has been nothing unreason able in the restrictions Imposed In July when "all the protective agen cies of the state were laboring under a peak fire-flghtlng load." Mr Obye emphasized. "Great caution on the part of everyone Is vitally essential if serious firea are to be prevented. Additional modification of the log- W ItCOl LOl'. IVJe. SCHtNltl tfiJlS.OkJIOSi. INC. N. t.

IN PENNANT CHASE By Hugh 9. r ullerton, Jr. (Asoclated Presa. Sports Writer) Llwe the famous ill wind, the Pitta burgh Pirates would have you believe it's an 111 rain that helps no one's pennant prospects. The entire National league program four doubleheaders was rained right off the 1938 program and that, In lta way. was somewhat more Impor tant than any of the three games played In the American league. While the league-leading Piravcs were deprived of a chance to Im prove their record at the expense oi the Phillies, they marked up two games that can't be lost and two apiece that their rivals, the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, can't win. They now have 14 to go and Chicago and Cincinnati 13 apiece. Approximately half of the $9,965. 236 collected as a retail sales tax In glng restrictions can be expected promptly when burning conditions warrant.
