Names and Addresses
Of Fire WardenS

The forest fire situation at present
in this county warrants drastic meas
ures by the Jacskon County Fire Pa
troll Association and the heartiest CO.
operation of all persons who live in
or near or frequent the forests. So
far no merchantable timber has been
destroyed by the numerous brush
fires, all of which, with few eXcep-
tions, have been set maliciously. One
third of the taxes of Jackson county
are derived from its timber supply.
The citizens share this revenue and
the association appeals to their good
citizenship for their cooperation in
the protection Of the forest from fire.
The cooperation of ranchers in fur.
fire law violators is especially urged.
Sections IL and IA of Oregon Fire
Laws provide that any person unlaw-
fully setting fire to woods, brush or
vegetable matter shall be punished by
Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary for from one to ten years.
Offenders are also liable to action
for cost of the fire fighting and dam
age sustained to the property.
Any person not fire warden who
shall furnish information leading to
the arrest and conviction of such a
person shall receive one-half of the
fine paid.

ly get in touch with the fire wardens
