Tho Hoard of Directors of Hurnoy
Valley Irrigation District met again
on tho ICth and Mr William Han

of otllco after which the Hoard pro
ceeded with Its permanent organic
atlou electing Mr. Hanley as Presi

ing was tho drawing of Iota to detur
mini) who would hold tho ono, two
and three year terms. Mr. Hanley
drew first and secured tho two year
term and Mr. Graut Thompson was
second to draw and secured tho ono
year term leaving thy three year
term to Mr. A. It. Olson,
Mr. Duncan waa continued for the
time being aa Secretary tho Hoard
feeling that It was not quite ready
to select a permanent Secretary aa
tlm work of ho District had not suf
ficiently developed.
Tho question of permanent quar
ters for the district wau discussed
and put over until a subsequent
meeting.
' Tho Hoard of Directors adopted a
resolution that Is inatlo a part of

Impelling motlvo Is to bring comfort

they do not provide some remedy. ,
Tho sisters mako no, distinction of
person or nationality or color or

thoy do not labor for worldly gain,
but In every ono you havo a mluistur

who concealed his namu from robins,

The Hoard of Directors and the
Commissioners spent some tlmo In a
goneral discussion of tho varloui
rcaturos involved, particularly aa to
tho typo of worka to ho constructed.
All wero agreed that tho construc
tion of a reservoir was tho Drat neces
sity, tho location la to bo worked out
later. This no doubt will dopond
largely upon tho report of tho engin
eer and a careful weighing of all the
factors bearing upon tho project.
Tho Hoard did not select an Kn

looking for the right man. It was
generally oxpressed that half of tho
brttlo waa In selecting tho prop"

The Hoard adjourned to moil,

FORE8T PROTECTION
Vleifal fra several angles It
appeaf'to 'the Forent Trotortlon
Conmlttee of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce that -elimination of our
annual Ioas through' forest flrel
must have the serious thought nn
cooperation of every citizen of Ore
gon and the whole Northwest.
In thla Western Country wo ure
Just beginning to realize that what
ban been long prophesied regarding
tho community valuo of our forests
Is coming truo. Extension of exist
ing operations nnd Installation of
many now onoa In well under way,
whllo plans nro being mado to open
up now sections In tho noar future.
What this munus to tho State
needs no explanation. Every citizen
shares In tho increased activity
whether he owns timber or not.
And back of all thla Hen tho In
disputable fact that we will profit
from tho lumber industry Just so
long aa there ia raw material to keep
it going. It la with thla in mind
that the Federal Government, the
Stato and private interests yearly
spend largo sums to. protect forests
against fire. Hut tho public must
get back of their efforts if the annual
losses aro to bo reduced. Forest
protection la not tho business of any
apodal class, It is ovorybody's busi
ness and ovorybody should make it
tholr business.
Attention has beon .called to poa
slbllltlca of Oregon having an ouor
moua tourist trndo. Forest fires nro
Insoparlbly linked with efforts to sc
ouro this for tho Stato. A smoke
lndon atmosphoro from July to Sep
tember tho tourist mouths means
Inability to show people coming hero
what wo havo to offor. We are told
thut tho autnmor of 1020 will see a
largo number of visitors here asldo
from thoao wo know are coming.
Shall wo let them go back East and
advertise our 8tute or view the uaual
blankot of smoke and accuse ua of
misrepresenting our attractions? It'o
up to tho people of the State to d
cldo this, to grasp an opportunity ov
cast it aside.
It ia with 'tho Idoa that here in
Oregon wo Bhould overbook no oppor
tunity that Forest Protection week
Ib bolng planned. Wo don't want to
wait until a lot moro of our tirobor
hi burned boforo uwalconlng to tho
fact that it la well worth saving.
