A strong effort is being made by the
Washington State Chapter of Archi
tects to have bill passed by congress
which will provide for the investiga-
ton and testing of American timber,
with particular reference to Washing
ton fir. An appropriation of $4,000
will be asked for, of which amount not
less than 80 per cent. should be devot-
ed to the testing of the timbers of the
Pacific coast. The Washington sena-
tors and representatives, through Sen
ator Squire, will be-asken to give their
assistance towards having the bill
passed at This session, and it is hoped
that the bill will be passed, in which
event the testing station will probably
be established at the University OF
Washington.
Concerning it, Charles w. Saunders,
secretary OF the Washington Chapter
said: "The bill, as now proposed, will
be the same as that passed by the SEN
ate of the Fifty-third congress, which
was hung up in the house by the fail
ure of the chairman of the committee
on agriculture to present it before adj
iournment. Amendments have been
proposed by DR.. Fernow which provid-
ed for an appropriation of $40, 1000, and
of that amount not less than 80 per
cent. shall he devoted to the testing
of the timbers of the Pacific coast, I'M
der certain limitations. A request
will be sent to the Washington dele
CATION in congress that it be intro
duced to the senate at once, and If
possible carried through to the house
before the close of the session.
"The value of this to the lumber
men of this state can be easily recog-
nized, as it is we'll known that no
authentic tests of the Washington fir
have yet been made. Prof. Johnson,
of the Washington university, of Mis-
souri,, has been making these tests for
the forestry department for the last
two years, and he has voluntarily Of
fered to assist us in every way, not
only by using his influence in further
ing this bill, but also, should it pass,
in establishing a testing station at
some point on Puget sound, the Uni
versity of Washington if possible.
This will be urged by the Washington
chapter, Us tests of this sort require
some scientific authority and must be
made at such place that no possibil-
ity of partiallty towards the woods
in the tests given could be charged.
This would be in line with what has
already been done at the Washington
university, at ST. Louis.
"The Importance of this bill is being
recognized throughout the country, as
may be judged by the action OF the Ma
tional Car Builders Association at it's
late meeting in New Orleans, at which
memorial was adopted, to be sent to
both houses of congress, urging the
necessity Of making further appropria-
tons. The fact that these tests have
never been made of Washington fir,
and that they have been exhausted on
Southern hard pine, shows the neces-
sity of prompt action on the part of
Washington lumber men in this mat
| ter."-P.-I.

Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off In wooden shoe
Sailed on river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew;
"Where are you going and what do
you wish?'
The old man asked the three.
ave have come to fish for the herr
ing fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have We"
Said Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
AS they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night
long
Ruflied the waves OF dew;
The little stars were the herring-fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish
Never afeared are We"
So cried the stars to the fishermen
three
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the
wooden shoes,
Twas all SO pretty sail it seemed
AS if it could not be,
And some folks thought twas dream
they'd dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea-
But | shall name you the fishermen
three:
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little
eyes,
And Nod is little head,
And the wooden shoes that sailed the
skies
Is wee ones trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
AS you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fisher
men three
