THE VANISHING Pine
WHITE PINE OF IDAHO AND
MONTANA is PRECIOUS
Only Supply of Genuine White Pine
In the West Is Found in Idaho
Montana Mountains-Amount Cut
Last Year Reached 115,68S,O00
Fect-Supply Is Closely Estimated
bg Forestry Department.

A review of western white pine
forests by special statistician of the
forestry department, says:
Statistics for the fiscal year just
closed show that 115,6SS,000 feet of
white pine was cut in Idaho, Mon
taha and Washington.
This is not the white pine of east
ern and northern states, but is so
much like it in general appearance
and commercial qualities that they
are used Interchangeable.
AS is well known the eastern white
pine supply is low and is rapidly
dwindling. For a long time it was
widely used for very many purposes,
and was exclusively used for others,
until the supply fell short and some-
thing to take its place was demand
ed.
The nearest approach to it is the
white pine of Idaho which in most
respects is its equal. This tree ex-
tends into the adjacent regions Of
Montana and is found of commercial
size, but in small quantities, scatter
ed through the Olympic mountain
forests of Washington and Oregon
Cascades, while scattered and in
ferior growth is met with southward
along the Sierras in California. The
supply of Idaho white pine, however,
may be expected to come mainly
from Idaho and Montana.
A universally useful timber is white
pine. For this reason very special
interest is centered in the supply of
white pine available in Idaho and
Montana.
The commercial pine timber of the
! United States is drawn from two
groups, white pines and pitch pines,
| the latter commonly called yellow
pine. The wood of the yellow pine
is heavy and of dark reddish or yell
low color. The wood Of the white
pine is light in weight and in color.
The two groups of pines may be
| distinguished by their needles. All
true white pine have needles in bum
dies of five. .Longleaf yellow pine
has needles in bundles of three. The
southern short leaf yellow pine and
Great Lake, red or Norway pine have
2-leaf bundles. The so-called Ari'
zona or southern Rocky mountain
white pine is really a yellow pine
but with wood of such exceptionally
light weight and color, and of so ex-
cellent quality that it serves In
place of lighter species.

Judd Geer, horticultural commits
sioner for eastern oregon, delivered
the following practical address on
CHERRY Growing in Eastern Ore
gon" at the recent meeting of the
Northwestern Fruitgrowers' associa-
ton at Salem:
Nature offers no more inviting way
,of providing a home and livelihood
than that which the ideal fruit grow
.er may obtain from Mother Earth.
First, to my way of thinking, the
practical fruit grower will select
staple-something which the masses
consume and which is almost GER
tain to provide a comfortable revenue.
That fruit, for first choice, 1 would
name the apple. 1t must ever head
the list Of fruits for eastern oregon.
But now that the wise fruit grower
has provided for the more substan-
tial things OF life and would exercise
his facts for the bountiful he can
not make a wiser choice than to
plant a cherry orchard. 1t will yield
him an income not later than the
month of July, which is several
months earlier than can be derived
from most farm crops.
The crop will mature before 1t can
possibly be injured by dry weather,
yet I have never known a cherry crop
in my section to be injured by rains.
The dry season usually commences at
about the time of the cherry-picking
season. The height of the season in
the eastern market is usually past
and while our crop does not COM
mand such high prices as the first
fruit of the season, the market is
usually well cleared of stock.
The demand for cherry trees in my
district far exceeds the supply. /
have about come to the conclusion
that there is no danger whatever of
the supply OF good commercial trees
being greater than the demand.
For some reason. they seem to be
more difficult to propagate than any
other tree. Often when l have taken
the greatest pains in every respect,
met with disappointing results The
seeds fail to grow. The buds fail to
start. The winds snap off the tender
shoots; in fact, something seems ever
wing in wait to diminish the per-
centage of my supply of cherry trees.
Nothing would interest me more
than to know the experience and
methods followed by nurserymen
who are successful in growing cher
ry trees.

TO RUN NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Regents Seeking a Way to Keep Two
Schools Going Without Funds.


The executive and finance commit
tees of the state board of regents OF
normal schools were in session this
afternoon, auditing bills of Weston
and Ashland schools, and hearing re-
ports from committees of regents
sent to visit and inspect each school,
says the Salem Journal
President Ressler of the Monmouth
school, was in the city and met with
the board. The decision of the attor-
ney general was approved by the
board to the effect that no new build
ing or additions could be erected.
The board was IN session all after
noon trying to adopt plan to meet
the proposals to carry on the Mon
mouth and Drain schools without an
appropriation
w. d. Aver, chairman of the finan-
cial committee, takes the position
that the Monmouth and Drain nor
mails must be closed and that they
cannot be run, even though they put
up the funds for current expenses,
until the legislature meets.

Boyle was well known in Seattle,

CHERRY GROWING IN EASTERN OREGON

There is something about the at
mosphere of our country which aids
in producing a good shipper. The
nights are cool, which, while it re-
tards the ripening somewhat, imparts
to the fruit quality which causes it
TO stand up" well when shipped a
long distance. They retain color well
and suffer less from discoloration and

PLEADS FOR COREA.

Returned Missionary Tells of Progress
Made In "Hermit Kingdom"
Rev. Graham lee, who for the last
Is years has been engaged in mission
ary work in Pyeng Yang, Corea, occu-
pied the pulpit at the First Presby-
terian church last evening, says the
Oregon Daily Journal. Graphically
and In detail Mr.. Lee described the
progress of the missionary propagan-
da In Corea from a day Is years ago,
when he and another missionary, Mr..
Moffett, were surrounded by an angry
mob and compelled to agree to leave
the city, down to April last, when
he started on his vacation trip to
America escorted by 1900 devoted
Coreans, who marched three miles
to the station and stood in line to
bid him goodbye.
No Pity Is Needed.
WOulu rather nave al eApe-
rlence like that than to have all the
wealth that has been amassed by the
Rockefeller family" said Mr.. Lee. Hc
scathingly arraigned those who pity
foreign missionaries and consider
money spent on foreign missions
wasted. stating that in Pyeng Yang,
which 15 years ago was an absolutely
virgin field, there are now four
churches, an educational institution
with 800 students, 26O of whom are
entirely self-supporting, and a theo-
logical seminary of rs students, the
first class of which was graduated and
received hheir diplomas the latter
part of June.
The attendance at one of the
churches is so great that 1t is neces-
sary to hold women's services in the
morning and mems in the afternoon.

FayOrite Varieties.

The Bing, Royal Ann, and Lambert,
are the favorite varieties being grown
in this section. There is no finer va
r.ety grown for long distance shipping
than the Bing. My own choice in
setting an orchard, however, leans
heavily toward the Royal Ann.
In case the eastern market goes to
pieces, why, the canneries seem al
ways ready and anxious to tabe them
in any quantity and at prices rs per
cent higher than even the choicest
black cherry will bring.
This rs per cent means all profit
to the grower, for picking and ham
ding must come out of the cheap
fruit as we'll as the dear. In fact.
they have offered to contract the large
Royal AIMS for five years in advance
at $50 per ton and what grower on
the face Of Mother Earth could wish
to be assured of larger returns on any
crop than cherries at that price will
yield.
