MONMOUTH, OR - The Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has claimed credit 
for a fire on December 25th, which destroyed Boise Cascade's regional 
headquarters in Monmouth, Oregon. An estimate in damages is unknown 
at this time. 

A communiqui sent by the E.L.F. to the Liberation Collective in 
Portland stated, "Early Christmas morning elves left coal in Boise 
Cascade's stocking. Four buckets of diesel gas with kitchen timer 
delay destroyed their regional headquarters". 

The Earth Liberation Front is a underground environmental 
organization that uses economic sabotage to end the exploitation and 
destruction of the natural environment and its inhabitants. 

Boise Cascade based in Boise, ID has been active in deforestation 
practices in the Northwest. Now Boise Cascade has teamed up with 
Maderas Condor, a Chilean company, to begin deforestation in Puerto 
Montt area of Chile. 

The communiqui continued, "Boise Cascade has been very naughty after 
ravaging the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Boise Cascade now 
looks towards the virgin forests of Chile". 

This latest action by the E.L.F comes just over a year after the 
group claimed credit for a $12 million fire at the Vail Resort in 
Colorado, and after the group burned U.S. Forests Industries to the 
ground in Medford, Oregon. 

The communiqui finished by stating, "Let this be a lesson to all 
greedy multinational corporations who don't respect ecosystems. The 
elves are watching."

Boise Cascade has been very naughty. After ravaging the forests of 
the Pacific Northwest, Boise Cascade now looks towards the virgin 
forests of Chile. Early Christmas morning, elves left coal in Boise 
Cascade's stocking. Four buckets of diesel and gas with kitchen 
timer delay destroyed their regional headquarters in Monmouth, 
Oregon. 

Let this be a lesson to all greedy multinational corporations who 
don't respect their ecosystems. 

The elves are watching.
