ATHENA. ORE. AUGUST ST.. 1917
The state forester Of Oregon is moi


The state forester of Oregon is not
unreasonable in asking hunters Of this
state to stay out of the woods until
rains shall have decreased the danger
of fire. The Western Oregon hunting
season opened August Is, and sports
men would be quite within their rights
in insisting that they be allowed to set
forth, as in other years, in search of
game. But this is not like other sea-
sons. The summer drouth has been Of
unprecedented length, and forests in
all parts Of the Pacific northwest are
of tindery dryness, ready to fame into
disastrous and widespread confllagra-
tion almost at the touch of spark.
Hunters are hazardous people to be at
large in the forests at time like this.
Some Of them are skilled woodsmen
and therefore above reproach in their
manner of handling matches and ex-
tinguishing campfres. But along with
this body of careful hunters there
must of necessity be great numbers
of careless men, of amateurs and
others who have not been made to rea-
lie the terrible possibilities of stray
morsels of fire in dry woods. In the
hands of careless man match may
be as fatal weapon as cooked shot
gun.

An appeal which should strike a
responsive chord in the hearts OF every
loyal son and daughter of Oregon, is
being made by the Oregon Army and
Navy Auxiliary, which is now seeking
to secure sufficient funds for the pur.
chase of one--and perhaps two or
three--Army ambulances for the Third
Oregon Regiment, which is soon to see
service on the battlefelds of France.
1t IS big undertaking this work of
securing funds by popular subscription,
but in such worthy cause the women
sponsoring the movement believe that
the people of Oregon will respond
quickly and with patriotic enthu-

America that the world faces meat
famine. He cites figures to prove that
this nations cattle, sheep and hogs are
dwindling rapidly under demands Of
war and in allied Europe threatens to
be wiped out entirely. In his opinion,
a high range of prices for meat and

country for many years to come.
