HELP IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE KLA
MATH COUNTY FROM PINE BEETLE
(iinrroitiAi.)
Klamath county ncods your help to avo It tlmbor from the beotle.
It I tho nanio old story If smallpox broke out In the city nnd two or
three iloatli occurred, armod guard would be employed und a rigid
quarantine ostnbllMiod. Tuberculosis could rago nnd carry away a
Hioro and no notlro would bo given It.
A parallel case exists In ono of tho. resources of t'lincHuntr. Let a
flro start In tho timber and ovory
brought Into piny. Ah a proventlvo, rangers aro constantly patrolling
tho forest, trull nro built, telephone and wlralos Installed and. alr-
PIuuch employed, vol un agency is at worK that l causing ttio des
truction of many time tho amount ot tlmbor claimed by fire and ono
that, lr not controlled, will, within the noxl decade, "dcrnetato most or the
plno timber In tho county. It Is tbe plno boetlo. t ,
You havo heard little or nothing about It until tha Jast- two year.
Its spread during that period has boon so rapid that It, compelled tho
attention of everyone Interested In lumber In this territory. They now
realize that If It ravagrn aro not stopped, tho tlmo Is within easy com
putntlon wncn thoro will bo no timber In Klamath county. .
Tha prlvato owners realized long ago that tho fight must be waged,
but tho work of eradication progressed but llttlo when It was discovered
that It would bo uo!cm to proceed further If the federal government
would not Join hand -with tho prlvato owner. Appeal wa made to
tho forest service, but no funds woro available for tho work. The. friends
ot tho forest sorvlco aro bitterly disappointed, while Its enemies point
with satisfaction to this Instanco as a concrete oxample of tbe fallacy
ot tho so-called conservation policy.-.
To meet tho expense of tho work; a bill ting been Introduced In con
gress to appropriate $160,000 to meet the cost. Hut tho "friend of
conservation" In congress, tho men who talk so much about saving for
futuro generations tha resources of tho nation and who do so little to
preserve them, have tied up tho mcasuro with tho usual quantity of red
tupo. Thnt I why tho pcoplo of Klamath mutt get busy. Tho Neros In
Washington are fiddling whllo tho plno beetles In Klamath county aro
destroying millions ot dollars worth of timber Seo It you can't get
them to stop their Jazzing long enough to listen to common sense and
reason. I -el every resident who has como hero from other states write
to thn senutor or representative In congress from their former homo,
tell them tho story of tho plno nettle in simple language and asK tnoir
help. v.
It will cost you Just two cents and a few minute tlma'ito help save
ono of our resources. Your letter will bo of great assistance to Ore
gon' representatives, and It may bo Just the one 'thing needed to
start the bill hurrying through congress.

"I ant In receipt of your request
for report upon S. 1590 proposing to
add certain lands to the Wyoming-

"Available data Indicates that the
greater pert ot the lands describe

"I have accordingly drawn a tenta
