The Olympic Reserve.

The establishment of the Olympic
forestry reserve was one of those mis-
takes that are sometimes made by well
meaning but impractical theorists who
ride their hobbies on all occasions aud
under all conditions and circumstan-
ces. That there was lack of iudg-
ment used by the commission in their
recommendations as to the boundaries
OF this re-ervation VIII be shown in
this article. 1t is also evident that
there was lack OF reliable iaforma-
tlon in regard to that par. of the state.
1t seems that if there had been anv in
qniry-made by the commission in re-
gard to the agricultural possibilities
OF the country west of the Olympic
range of mountains, the fact that it
was capable of supporting a dense
population when cleared aud fitted for
farming purposes could have been
readily established.
There is more good land west. of the
Olympics and along the shores of the
Pacific ocean than there is in Mason
and Kitsap counties combined. Every
river and creek putting into the ocean
from Cape Flattery to the south
boundary of the forest reserve has
more or less rich bottom land, and is
capable of supporting a farming COM
munity varying in extent according
to the size and length of the stream: !:
besides there are large tracts of good
rolling and hill lands of dark clayey
character that only need clearing up
and a couple of years cultivation to
make them produce equal to lands of
like character in other parts of the
state. A number of the larger streams
and rivers now have settlements scat
tered along their banks from the ocean
back to a distance of from ten to forty
miles. There are ten or twelve small
rivers having their sources in the
Olympic mountains and their foothills.
-Four of these, the Quinault, Queets,
Ho Cor Ohalet) and Quillahute, are
equal in size to the rivers emptying
into Puget Sound, with the exception
of the Skagit and Nooksack, besides
| numerous small streams and creeks.
The total area of this forestry re-
serve is about 2,231 900 acres, in the
| following counties:

2,231,OOO

Total ........ 2,231 900
This estimate does not include the
Makah and Quinault Indian reserva-
tions, which lie within its limits and
which aggregate about 100000 acres,
making grand total OF 2,461 600
acres--a body of land nearly three
times as large as the state of Rhode
Island. OF this amount about 100000
acres had been surveyed Outside of
the Indian reservations and upon
which there was at the time Of the
proclamation setting aside these lands
for forestry purposes numerous settle
ments and neighhorhoods that had
begun to look homelike and thrifty.
In the Quillayhute valley there are
farms that have been cultivated for
over twenty years, with comfortable
dwellings, orchards, grain fields and
hop yards, the product of the latter
being the only thing tina. could be
shipped to their nearest markets at
profit. owing to the lack OF roads. I'm
til about five years ago hops were
canoed down the river and shipped IN
small sail vessels and steamers to Sc
attic, while live stock were driven out
over the old Pysht trail.
On the surveyed portion there were
twenty-seven postoffices, to-wit: Blyn,
Exa, Piedmont, Fairholm, -Wineton,
Collins, Beaver, Tyee, Bucyrus, Swan,
Ozette, HolSo, Royal, Suez, Albright,
Shuwah, La Push, Boston, Outlay
hute, Forks, Bogachiel, Clearwater,
Queets. Evergreen, Quinault, Lake
Cushman and Sappho.
Besides these there are the offices of
Neah Bay and Granville, on the Makah
and Qhinault Indian reservations. Of
these Albright, Bogachiel and Suez
have been discontinued since the es-
tablishment OF the reserve, owing to
the settlers becoming discouraged and
leaving. Since 1891 the counties of
Clallam and Jefferson have expended
in this part of the country large sums
of money building wagon roads and
expensive bridges, until the people
were beginning to see their way to bet
ter things and to feel that their days
of isolation were drawing to close.
They now feel as if they we're exiles,
with no prospect of reaping the bene-
fits that they have right to expect
from their years of labor and priva-
tions- Large sIlinbers of people who
had but recently Attled there have al
ready left. Others who have spent
much time AID labor on their homes
will stay until they get title to their
lands, and they, too. viii leave. They
know that there can be no new access
sions to their numbers, and that they
will be unable to support schools,

NEVER CARES TO WANDER
The Honey Dee Docs Not Like 10 "'

The range of the honey bee Is ou

that they 60 only short distance II
may be curious to many to understand
how anyone can tell how far the Deei
may fly, but this is simple when under
stood Years ago, when the ltaliar
bees were first introduced in th'
United States, these bees, having
marks different from the common beei
already here, were easily distin
guished, and after any beekeeper mac
obtained the Italian bees they couIc
be observed and their range easily no
ticed. If bloom is plentiful near where
bees are located, they will not go very
far, perhaps a mile in range, but
bloomts scarce they may go five miles
Usually about three miles is as fai
as they may go prohtably'
Bees have been known to 60 as fal
as eight miles in a straight line, cross
ing a body of water that distance tC
land. 1t is wonderful how the little
honey bee can go so far from its home
and ever find its way back to its OWL
particular hive. If, while the little
bee is out of its home, or hive, the
hive should be removed some ten OF
twenty feet, according to the sur
roundings, when it came back to where
Its home was first located it would
be hopelessly lost. If its home were
in an open space, with no other objects
close, It might find it's way home, but
even should the hive be moved only
few feet, many of the bees would
get lost
So to move a hive, If done in the
winter time, it would be all right, but
If In the summer time It should be
done after dark, or when the bees are
not flying, and even then the bees
should be stirred up some, and smoke
blown in at the hive entrance and
board or some object placed in front
of the hive so that the bees in coming
out may mark their new location,
Bees, no doubt, are guided by sight
and also by sense of smell. They are
attracted by the color of bloom, as
If they are at work on a certain kind
of bloom, they are not likely TO leave
that particular kind of bloom for any
other as long as they can find that kind
Again, bees are often attracted to
sweets by their sense of smell, for
they will go after sweets, even

markets for a larger fowl than the

the district about the town Of Fa.

miles to the south of Houdan, and nc

various crosses with the Houdan
breed. To obtain a true explanation
of this variety it is necessary to 20

crosses, without any especial method,
the present Faverolle was developed,
in much the same manner that the

In our own country. The various
types of the Faverolle vary consider

Large returns from Poultry,

Readers should not object to the
extra amount of attention devoted to
the hen and her products. Eggs are
comparatively low. They will soon
be higher. Grain is cheap, but 1t will
soon be dearer. If the farmer is to
have any eggs to sell while eggs are
scarce and dear, he must begin the
work of preparation now and keep at
it. The price of eggs is not much, but
the sum total of all the eggs produced
in the country is greater in value than
the products of all the silver mines.
This country does not produce eggs
enough to supply the home market.
There is no other direction in which
the intelligent use of labor and ma
terial will produce as certain and
profitable returns as with poultry. A
aock of hens kept on the farm and
we'll cared-for means many comforts
and luxuries that would not other
wise be possible.-Farm and Fire

CHAPTER XIII.


Calicot, looking very white and
gaunt, mingled among the crowds in
the arena. To anyone less absorbed in
a purpose the scenes would have been
fraught with an almost superhuman
interest. The confusion was appalling
and the noise deafening. But even his
distracted perception could distinguish
in it all the effort of system and discip-
line forcing matters slowly into pur-
pose. Squads were forming and march
ing through the corridor, towards the
rotunda, choking the passages; officers
were running and shouting; litters
were passing and repassing with
wounded; groans, curses, commands
loaded the heavy air with satanic tu-
multi, and the cavernous surroundings
and ghostly lights completed the infer
nal hue of the picture.
A man suddenly plunged into this
subterranean scene, as, indeed, many
of the wounded captives were, might
rudely imagine that he had died and
been thrown into the traditional hell.
Calicot was about to make very
doubtful experiment. He was going
to determine # his estimate of Hen
bricks character was correct. While
looking for him he came near the
portal; it had occurred to him that in
this confusion it might be possible for
Stocking to get up the shaft unde.
tected. But he was quickly convinced
of the folly of that idea. The exit was
well guarded, and the men had a
countersign which was changed every
day. He saw several of the new detail
turned back because they had for,
gotten 1t.
While he stood there Hendricks came
up and spoke to him.
"There are two of your wounded
friends there in Mr.. Franklin's office,
he said "They need intelligent care
You might lend hand. am sending

brusquely, as he stepped aside.
"Mr. Franklin spoke to you abou
removing his daughter?"
'"Yes; told him to get her out a
soon as possible. We move from her,

Calicot, "to let the other girl go. Shl

"You wish to escort her?"
"No. Let Lieut.. Stocking doit. Thl

'Your friend is a vindictive man,

"that the execution Of your plans N

"Ah, you have arrived at that conclu
