For war is the surest way Tor this ma
ton to maintain peace. That Is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. IL is
equally true that to be prepared Tor
spring is the best way to avoid the
peculiar dangers of the season. This
is q lesson multitudes are learning,
and at this time, when the blood is
sure to be loaded with impurities and
to be weak and sluggish, the millions
begin to take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which purifes, enriches and yitalizes
the blood, expels all disease germs,
creates good appetite, gives strength
and energy and puts the whole system
in a healthy condition, preventing
pneumonia, levers, and other danger
Gus diseases which are liable to attack

The Division of Forestry.

The Department of the Interior has
recently applied to the Department of
Agriculture for complete working
plans, to be prepared by the Division
of Forestry, for all of the National
forest reservations in the West. This
is one of the most important steps
taken in the administration OF these
reserves since their creation by the
President and will, eventually, trans
form them into revenue producing
part Of the National economy.
Several years will be required to exc
cute the project. It will be necessary
to determine the present condition of
the forest, what merchantable timber
occurs, and how it can be marketed
to meet continuously the requirements
of the people without. injury to the
productive power of the forest.
Henry S. Graves Superintendent OF
Working Plans, and E. M. Griffith, an
expert forester of the Division, will be-
gin the work, to be joined later by a
corps of assistants. After few weeks
Mr.. Graves will leave the work in
charge of his assistants and proceed to
make reconnaissance surveys of several
other western reserves with view of
taking them up as soon as possible,
and probably in the following order ::
The Big Horn Reserve, in Wyoming !;
the Priest River Reserve, in Idaho;
and the Olympic and Mount Rainier
Reserves Of Washington. During the
ensuing summer the Forester of the
Department will continue the recon-
noissance in the remaining reserva-
tions.
The Division of Forestry will con-
tinue the investigation of Pacific coast
timber begun last summer, and several
parties will start in June or earlier for
the Redwood belt of California and the
Red Fir forest of Washington. The
object is to compare the reproduction
with the present depletion and to in
vestigate the possibility of reforesting
logged-of lands. There will be from
fifteen to twenty-five men in each
State. Most of the work will be done
by young college men under the direc-
ton of Government forest experts.
The research will be carried on in
pursuance OF. a system which under
takes by ascertaining the rate of
growth and general life history Of an
existing forest to foretell the behavior
of future one growing under like
conditions. Measurements will be
made and the age found of several
thousand trees in the logging districts,
and large tracts will be cruised and
surveyed to find the stand of timber
IN varying situation. by measuring
and counting the annual rings Of a
tree at several sections, an expert can
determine not only its age but at what
stage it grew fastest, when it reached
maturity, and the exact amount of
wood added during any period. By
obtaining these figures for large areas
it will be possible to compute the
time necessary to raise successive crops
in the Pacific timber regions.
This work will be especially valuable
to owners Of timber lands who are ID
doubt as to the profit Of paying taxes
on their property after it has been log
ged.

Big Lumbermen on the Sound.

The Weyerhauser party of lumber
men arrived in Tacoma last week.
1--WE have not yet made any definite
plans" said Mr. Mccormick, Of the
party, "but are to hold our first bust
ness meeting here, complete our or
ganisation, which was incorporated a
short time ago here, and then we will
consider what to do next.
call the members of our organiza-
ton are practical lumbermen. There
is not man in it who has not had
large experience in numbering, and all
of them now own and operate mills.
TheIe are 20 or 80 mills represented
in our party, all now cutting in the
white pine district.
eve realized, as all lumbermen do
there, that it is only question of a
short time when the white pine will
be exhausted and we will have to
move, 1t was a question with us
whether TO 60 south or west. We con-
cluded to go west. We had chance
to buy this lot of timber and bough.
it, though the title deeds are not all
complete. We came west in prefer
ence to going south because we under
stand the situation better in our own
latitude, while conditions in the south
we were not familiar with.
CAS- our timber becomes exhausted
in our present locations we shall trans
fer our operations to this state. With
some of US it may be ten years, and
with some it may not be one year.
OF course there will come time when
we will have to stop cutting there, de-
pending on circumstances.
"No, hardly think it would be
profitable to move our white pine mills
out here. The character of the timber
is so different that there would be very
little of our mills that could be util-
lied in handling the large logs OF
Washington. OF course great deal
of the machinery, particularly for lum-
Der dressing and wood working, we
could use here, but sawmills made for
handling white pine logs that run
from three to IL logs to the thousand
feet would hardly be capable of hand
ling the big logs of Washington.
Owe like the country and the people
here, and are going to come out and
help you make it the greatest state In
the Union. We shall do little this
trip but look over the ground and
make our plans later. Now we are too
new in the field to know definitely
lust what we can do. We bought this
timber not to look at but tocut, and
as we get to it from time to time as
conditions demand, we shall transfer
our operations to this state"
Thee trustees met this afternoon to
complete the formality of the organic
alton. 1t was virtually understood
before the board began its session that
Frederick Weyerhauser OF st. Paul
will be the president and William d..
Laird of Winona vice president OF the
