Portland, Ore., June 3:- • Unless
lain quickly intervenes, the entire
Pacific region is threatened by the
most serious forest fire situation ever
known so early in the year, according
to June 1 bulletins received today by
the Western Forestry and Conserva
tion association from forest protec
tive agencies throughout the five
coast states from Montana to Calif
ornia. Already, although there has
been little damage to merchantable
timber, there has been much loss of
second-growth, logs and equipment,

everywhere is reported “The worst
at this time in 38 years” is one bulle
tin.
Another says “A comparison
with June 1 last year is like compar
ing the Sahara Desert with the
ocean.” A few hours of wind or of
falling humidity, all authorities agree,
will result in the breaking of bounds
by a multitude of fires due to loggers,
campers and settlers who have not
realized the extraordinarily early
hazard, All agencis are uniting to
impress them with the urgency of
absolute care with fire from now on
and the laws will be rigidly enforced.
The governor of Idaho has issued a
proclamation stopping all slash burn
ing. State forest boards in other
states are meeting to di icuss unusual
regulatory measures. The United
States Frest si rvice is contemplating
closing the national forests to visit- I
ors. The state of Oregon has ap
pealed to the war department for
airplanes to assist in patrol. The U.
S. weather bureau bas aliiady agieed
to detail meteorologists to perfect a
forecast system to advise protective

A BÎOW TO THE COUNTY
Too much caution can not be ob-
«erved in the protection of one of
Tillamook’s greatest resources, the
standing timber, as is evidenced by
the disastrous fires now sweeping the
forests along the Salmonberry river.
Some little bit of carelessness prob
ably caused this heavy loss which is
as imated will run into many millions
of dollars.
After the damage is done it will
take hundreds of years to bring this
tree crop back to a state of maturity,
ready to be harvested.
Public sentiment can do much more
than all the laws that can ever be
enact ,1 to prevent this needless and
Criminal waste.
Let everyone turn out and give the
°ys a good send-off Monday night
»hen they leave for camp. They’ll
ippreciate it.
