Met Singular Accident

A woman at Walcott met with a
peculiar accident Monday night
at the Walcott Hotel whereby she
lost the first joint of the little
finger of one of her hands. She
slept with the window up and
during the night the window fell.
As she had thrown her arm out it
happened that the little finger
rested in such a way that the
window in falling cut off the first
joint of the little finger as smooth
as if done with a knife.

Malicious Mischief

Some person is working consid
cradle hardship on the subscribers
to the Rural Telephone line on
Brush creek by grounding the
wire now and then and varying
this form of annoyance oy cutting
it at intervals. This work has all
been done on a certain ranch up
the river, but while the suspicion
is strong as to the person doing it
it is possible that some other per-
son is perpetrating the mischief
on that property in order to cast
suspicion upon Its owner.
Several times the wire has been
grounded and once it was found
cut in several places. Theground-
ing on one occasion showed con-
siderable care and ingenuity. A
cedar post, covered with bark had
been selected and a wire carefully
concealed in this bark connected
the telephone wire with the ground
in which it was buried some Is
inches. This malicious business
is working much hardship on the
people up the river and on Brush
creek. Often when there is ur-
gent need for the wire, (which has
now become a necessity it is
dead and nothing can be gotten
over it. The man who is doing
this work will surely be discovered
and brought to book, for there is
a heavy fine for tampering with
telegraph or telephone wires.

NATIONAL FOREST
ForestPlanting on Irrigated lands
in Montana. Wyoming and
the DakOtaS

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Exten-
siye Investigations of irrigated
lands in the western states to de.
termine the possibilities on tree
planting on reclaimed tracts have
lust been completed by experts in
the Forest Service and according
TO the first reports of the studies
the judicious planting of certain
trees around homesteads and along
canals Will greatly increase the
value of lands where irrigation has
played ouch a prominent part in
development.
The lands examined are in Mon
tana, Wyoming and the Dakotas,
and are practically treeless, as in
the case on most irrigated tracts
in these sections. While it was
found that the growing of trees
under the condition found on most
of the tracts will be confronted
with many difficulties unless great
care is taken, it has been deter
mined that certain species can be
grown very successfully for wind
breaks, shelterbelts, fuel and
protection for canals.
All of the land examined is of
great value for agriculture and, of
course, timber production on a
large scale would not be advisable
even if it we're feasible, Planting
will be profitable chiefly for the
protection it will give farm build
ings, stockyards. and valuable
fruit orchards from heavy winds
and for the timber which can be
grown for fuel, fence-posts, and
other uses.
The principal difficulties to be
mel in tree growing in the regions
where the examinations were made
are the great extremes of tempera-
ture which are always an import
ant consideration, since it is the
occasional period of extreme cold
and not the average winter temp
erature which determines the
adaptability of a tree. Damage
by drought and extreme heat may
be largely overcome by irrigation,
but there is no way to temper the
wlntry blasts of these wind swept
pralries. 1t has been found how
ever, that the choice of proper
species of trees will meet practi-
cally every difficulty encountered.
On the irrigated tracts in Mon
tana, Wyoming and the Dakotas,
belts of trees are needed on the
north and west to shield the farms
from the severe cold winds and oil
the south to check the drying
winds that come from that direc-
ton. Protection on the east is
not so essential, yet if the manage
ment of the buildings will permit
a narrow belt of trees, at least, will
be desirable.
1t has been found species most
suitable for wind breaks and
S%heIterbelts sare green ash, box
elder, common cottonwood, lance
leaf cottonwood, Russian wild
olive, jack pine, white spruce.
Next to protection, the most i'm
portant reason for tree planting is
The need Of local supplies of fuel.
The species which are best suited
Tor fuel production in this region
are the cottonwoods, aspen, and
willow. since they will produce the
greatest quantity of wood in weight
per acre, in the least time. For
fence posts, the planting of green
ash, diamond willow, common
cottonwood, Russian olive, Rocky
Mountain juniper, and western
yellow pine is recommended. Green
ash and bur oak furnish material
valuable for farm repairs.

COLLECTING FOREST TREE SEED
The Forest Service has made ar.
engagements to collect fifty million
seeds of forest trees during Sep
TENDER and October of this year.
The collections will be made in
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
Arizona and California, from
Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce,
Western larch, Incense cedar and
yellow pine trees.
The seeds will be used for
broadcast sowing, and for planting
In Forest Service Nurseries The
broadcast sowing will be expert
mental to test the extent to which
this method of renewing the forests
on denuded lands in the west a
be used. Many large tracts have
been rendered treeless by repeated
fires, and only by planting or SOW
ing can timber be got to grow
there for a long time to come.
The cost of planting nursery
seedlings is great when the area
is large. For that reason it will
be an immense saving of money,
labor, and time if a new forest can
he started by broadcast sowing.
Many tests in different states will
be necessary before the problem
can be worked out
Much of the tree seed to be
collected this fall will be used in
the Forest Service nurseries. The
tiny Seeding will begin their life
in beds, to be later transplanted
for a year or more of care and
cultivation, and finally to be set
out on the denuded mountain
slopes.
The gathering of tree seeds is
an interesting process. One
method is to rob squirrels nests.
The little animal is made to work
for man. In the west, where
hickory nuts, chestnuts, and
beech nuts are very scarce or
wholly lacking, the squirrel gives
his attention to pine He
store them by the bushel behind
old logs or in the hollow bases of
trees, to wait for them to open
and release the seeds. He collects
good qualities, for he climbs to
the tops of the tallest trees, and
to the tips of The longest limbs,
and cuts down the choice cones.
The seed-gatherer searches out
and robs the squirrels hoard.
Seeds must be gathered in other
ways also, for the squirrel collects
only certain species for which he
has a particular taste. When men
do the work the usually go to some
tract where a lumber operation is
in progress. Seed may be con-
veniently collected from the felled
tree, provided it is a good seed
year.
After the cones are collected
they must be spread out in the
sun and dried, or in specially
stubborn cases subjected to arti-
fetal heat in order that the cones
may be opened and the seed re-
leased. After the seed is extract
ed it is placed in bags and stored
in a cool place during the winter
ready for spring sowing.
The Government has nine plant
ing stations. These are at Hal
sey, Nebraska; Fort Bayard, Las
Vagas, and Fort Stanton, New
Mexico; Pixies Peak National
Forest, Colorado; the Wasatch
National Forest, Utah; Pocatello,
Idaho; and Pasadena and San
| Marcos, California.
If all would grow, a ton OF al
most any kind of tree seed would
produce a forest of very large area.
But no N expects all the seeds

States to read. 1t touches on the ia.
nous Monroe Doctrine" What do
you know about the great ride in the
winter of 1912, when DR.. Whitman, the
pioneer, missionary, patriot, martyr,
rode across the country 1000 miles on
horseback, amidst perils, at the risk of
his life, enduring hardships untold;
reaching Washington, D. c., just in time
to prevent President Tyler and his secre-
tary, Daniel Webster, from signing away
the Oregon country to Great Britain
1t is romance in real life that every
patriotic American, young or old, should
know.
Plan to attend the superbly illustrated
lecture, The ride that saved an Empire"
to be given by Hon. John Wilder Fair
bank, of Boston, at the South church,
Thursday evening. Of his appearance in
Athol, Mass, the Record says,
"The Baptist church was completely
filled last Sunday night to listen to Hon.
John Wilder Fairbanks lecture on The
Ride that Saved an Empire. Mr.. Fair
bank proved himself lecturer of ability
and interest and his story of the life and
work of the consecrated missionaries
was indeed thrilling. The lecture was
by a large number of stere-
opticon views, which took the audience

the early settlers in the far West were so
terribly harassed by the Indians and so
many lives were taken by them"

nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest prescrip-
ton ever written to relieve Backache,
Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and ali
forms ofUrinary difficulties. This mixture
acts promptly on the eliminative tissues
OF the Kidneys, enabling them to filter
and strain the uric acid and other waste
matter from the blood which causes
Rheumatism.
