Nye's Visit TO the Coast

ft is pretty generally known that the
humoristic Bill Hye is about TO make a
tour of the Pacific coast-and by the
way, we understand our city is to be
honored with his preseuce-accom-
panied by that celebrated bald dome of
thought, his think tank" as William
calls it.
1t has been given ont that the pur-
pose OF his trip is to find fresh material
Tor his weekly newspaper letter, and
incidentally to give a limited series Of
entertainments in connection with his
side-partner in mirth, A. +. Burbank.
But the HERALD has it through con-
fidential sources that this is not the
real object of his visit to the great
West, and we are able to let our readers
into a secret, whereby "hangs a tail.n
1t seems that in his days of poverty
William, like many great men before
him, owned a dog 1t was of the usual
yellow mongrel order, which grew so
plentiful around Laramie, Wyoming,
back in the 70's Now, this dogs
name was Entymology, and during the
day he was wont to lie around the
Boomerang office, varied with stroll
through the streets Of that metropolis in
search of stray cats, smaller dogs and
boys, and at night 1t was his habit to
hold lengthy and uproarious "mono-
log ue entertainments" with the man
in the moon as audience, much TO the
disturbance and sorrow of the wakeful
citizens. But one day Entymology
started westward ho5 from Laramie,
accompanied by ear splitting howls,
and tin can on his caudal appendage,
accelerated by cries of exultati0n from
numerous citizens, but Bill bewailed
his loss with tears aud lamentations;
he also "tore his hair" which accounts
for the oasis Of his latter day Uranium.
And now that he has reached a state of
affiuence his mind and sympathies re-
vert To the companion of his early
days, and he has decided TO make
search throughout the West for little
Entymoiogy, and, if he is successful,
the dogs declining days shall be passed
in plenty and happiness, far from the
maddening haunts of small boys and
tin cans. Anyone knowing anything
of the whereabouts of little Entymology
will confer a favor by putting himself
in immediate communication with the
festive William,

him with stealing a demiohn contain

BAROMETRTC PRESSURE

twelve to forty inches.
BAROMETRTC PRESSURE
The month opened with low pres
sure off the northwest coast of Wash
ington, at the same time there was a
high pressure over Montana and to the
north, with temperltures of forty de-
grees and more below zero; from these
conditions came the snow storm. The
low pressure continued central off the
Washington coast until the 18th, when
it disappeared. Other low pressures oc.
Cured on the 18th, 18th and 9th, the
latter was several hundred miles off the
coast and moved southeIty; the lows
of the 18th and 18th moved eastward
over British Columbia.
High pressures occurred on the 18th
over Washington, which moved south
! eastward. On the 18th a second high
appeared of the Washington coast,
and moved eastward, and on the 2lst a
high pressure appeared over South
western Oregon, which continued until
the 10Th, when it disappeared.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature over Oregon and
Washington during the month was
from one to four degrees below the Feb
ruary normal. The coolest period of
the month was the first five days, dur
ing which time the temperature fell to
| from s to Is degrees below zero east OF
J the Cascade mountains, while to the
west of the Cascades the temperature
was down to within from 5 TO 10 de.
grees above zero.
The winter throughout has had q
mean temperature below the average,
though it has been devoid of excep
tionally low temperatures.
PRECIPITATION
The precipitation for the month has
been about the normal. At Portland il
was Las inches below the normal
while at Roseburg it was 2.28 inches
above the normal. There was an ex.
cess in Western and Northern Wash.

which tends to protect the buds from

Some Big Lumber Figures.

A circular issued by the U. S. De-

gestions to the lumbermen of the
United States 10 behalf of more ra.

now time to consider the question of
supplies may be inferred from the
following rough estimate, the only
kind possible with our present stats.

United States, according to estimates
based upon census aud other figures,
over $4,000 900 900 cubic feet of
wood annually. Of this enormous
amount (about $50 cubic feet per
capita), over 1000, 600, 900 cubic feet
of the best timber are made into lum.

railroad construction requires about
500,000,000 cubic feet; and fencing
takes an equal amount; but by far
the largest consumption is for fire.

rage over the western mountain coun.
try especially, and which swell the
total consumption, probably, to be.
yond 5,000,0 900, 900, cubic feet OF
wood annually. During the last
three decades an increase of about 80
per cent in consumption for each de.

with wood growth is less than $780,
$1,000 acres. If all the land area
not known to be t~reeless or in farms
were under forest, the acreage would
not exceed $50, 000, 900 acres, but the
lower figure is probably more nearly
correct.
