The French thoroughly appreciate the
advantages to be derived from systematic
tree planting. Tracts Of sand have been
covered with pine forests, and the word
landc, borrowed, as it is thought, from
the German, is losing its meaning of
waste" Till u century ago q large
portion Of the forest of F~ontaincblcau

planting of pines was begun. A variety

The decomposcd fir needles, more

and shrubs less ablo than the pine to
live on air. The department Of the
Landes, once u barren region, with sand
so loose that people had to walk Oh
stills, is covered with pines, and the
problem OF draining the subsoil has been
solved, as described in Edmond About's
story Of ''Niaitrc Pierre"
The losses Ivy fire and anxiety TO pro-
duce something more remuncrativo than
pine are now, however, inducing
schemes Of artificial fertilization. In
many French watering places dunes
have been transformed into woods. thus
holding out TO seaside visitors tho at
traction of agreeable shade and a change
from monotonous beach. Shifting sands
have been prevented from extending in
land. In some cases dunes have been ac-
quired by companies, which, after plant
ing them, have cut them up into build
villas.
Elsewhere municipalities have taken
up the matter, and in large operations

FAVORS THE SETTLERS.

Last week Secretary Smith of the
Interior department rendered an
important decision on the Northern
Pacific indemnity land question by
which the right Of the settlers to
lands in the indemnity belt upon
which they settled after the second
withdrawal by the corporation is
defined. The case upon which de-
cision is based is that of Henry
Arrasmith, in this land district,
The order for withdrawal was made
operative Nov. 80, 1880. 1t was
selected for losses elsewhere IN 1884
by the railroad company, but IN
1888 Arrasmith had filed a pre-
emption claim, alleging that he had
purchased the rights of a prior set
tier in 1877, at which time he made
actual settlement. His application
for entry was first refused, but in
1888 the department reversed the
land office and Arrasmith was al
lowed to enter. In 1898 on motion
for review the department decided
the withdrawal upon the map OF
general route was without authority
and that if Arrasmith's application
was in proper form it should be al
lowed. The railroad company at

OUR STATE LEADS.

In a report of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, for October,
the interesting fact is made known
that the Evergreen state is a leader
in grain yields. Here are some of
the figures:
Rys-Average yield for United
States in bushels per acre, IA.
Best state average, Washington,
26.7; second, North Dakota, 21.3;
third, Minnesota, Oil.
Oats-Average for United States,
1916. Best state average, Iowa,
1872; second, Vermont, 1873; third,
Washington, 4O.3.
Barley-Average for United
States, 26.4. Best state average,
Washington, 3I3; second, Mime
sofa, So; third, Kentucky, 1873.
Hops-Average Tor United States
in podnds per acre, 656. Best state
average, Washington, .533; second
Oregon. 1,511; third, California,
1926.
The report, however, gives the
average yield of wheat in the state
as 1875 bushels per acre, making it
18th on the list, but this apparent
ly, is a mistake of at least one-half,
as Washington averaged much
more than 1875 bushels.

FIFTY cents per bushel for wheat

FIFTY cents per bushel for wheat,
even if payable in merchandise,
may have glittering look to the
farmer, but he should bear in mind
that call is not gold that glitters,"
and that the offer made by parties
in a neighboring town to take wheat
at fifty cents in exchange for goods
proves to be snare to catch the
unwary. Only certain lines ofgoods
will be sold on this plan, and the
prices on them are so much higher
than the prices on the same lines
in Pullman that money will be
saved by selling your wheat for
cash and paying the Pullman prices
for your goods. Our own merch-
ants could pay dollar bushel
for wheat in merchandise by mark
ing the prices of their goods sutfi-
GENTLY nigh, but they don't do bus
mess that way. They believe in
doing a legitimate trade, and they
are selling goods lower than they
were ever before sold in the Pa
louise country. Do your trading at
home; Pullman is well supplied
with grocery, dry goods, hardware,
drug, and other stores, and there is
no excuse for anyone to go to an
other town to trade. You can save
money by trading with your home
merchants. Every dollar you send
away is detrlment to your home
town and to you, and it is your
duty to stand by those who have
stood by you in the past. Patronize
the merchants in your home town!
