FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1939 VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON EAGLE EDITORIALS A REWARD WELL EARNED INDEED— RECENTLY APPEARING in a bulletin issued by the United States Forest Service with headquarters at Portland was an an nouncement headed as follows: “Apprehen- ders of Incendiarist Rewarded.” The state ment continued under the heading as follows: ‘‘The federal gover.nment has just authorized the payment of S300 award to four Portland men who furnished evidence which led to the Vernonia Eagle MARVIN KAMHOLZ, Editor and Publisher Entered as second class mail matter, August 4, 1922, at the post office in Vernonia, Ore gon, under the act of March 3, 1879.

The sentence was two years in federal prison and 30 days in the county jail.” Little, can be said in favor of the con victed party but considerable in the way of compliment can be extended to those instru mental in supplying evidence and applying punishment for the offense. The man convicted is only one of many, it seems, who has little realization of the serious nature of destruction of the state’s forest resource?. Those resources cannot be expected to replenish at a pace in keeping with the speed with which they are being re moved. Lumbering activities are rapid in the removal of forests under modern methods and it is vitally of interest to all to maintain standing timber as long as possible when it is not being harvested. Reports from forestry officials in the Upper Nehalem Valley ajone have been numer ous in mentioning fires which have every in dication of being started intentionally. It is usually possible to determine the cause of a forest fire but difficult to apprehend the of fender when the deed is premediated as is the case with incendiarists. A good deal of effort is expended in bringing to justice those who are caught under sufficient evidence. But, consider the matter in another man ner. Should not people, those who do set for est fires, be of sufficient foresight to realize that the loss of burned timber will not be re placed for many years and opportunities for livlihood will be lessened thereby. Just a moment of thought by those who have been truilty of incendiarism would surely reveal to them the damage they were con templating.
