Representative w. L. Case of
CIoquet has introduced a bill in
the house requiring the annual
removal of all slashings and re-
fuse left from logging operations
on timber lands in the state.
The bill orders the burning or
removal of all com unstable mate.
rial before May 18th. of each
year, to prevent danger to timber
left standing and other property.
A fine of $50 to $500 is provided.
This bill is along the lines of
of the law proposed by the Com
mercial Club of Northome, which
was published in the Pioneer
recently.
The measure will undoubtedly
receive strong opposition from
the various lum bering companies
who are engaged in logging in
the state.

Enormous Liftinx Power.

The shelless limpet pulls 1884 times
Its own weight when in the air and
about double when measured In the
water. Fleas pull 1,493 times their
own dead weight. The Mediterranean
cookie, Venus verrucosa, can exert q
pulling power equal to 2,O71 times the
weight OF its own body. So great 10
the power possessed by the oyster that
to open 1t force equal to 1895 times
the weight of its shelless body is re-
CURED. If the human being possessed
strength as great in proportion as that
of these shellfish the average man
would be able to lift the enormous
weight Of 100000 pounds, pulling in
the same degree as the limpet. And
If the man pulled In the same proper
tionate degree as the cookie he would
sustain weight Of no less than $780,
500 pounds.

Turks md Meerschaum.

According to the best authorities
upon the subject, the idea Of using
white tale in the manufacture Of pipes
Is Of comparatively recent date COM
pared with the age of the habit Of
smoking, and what is still more curious
Is the fact that in the oriental coun-
tries which produce white tale, or
meerschaum, as it isscalled, and where
the use of tobacco forms part Of the
education of the faithful the people
never dream Of making this substance
into pipes. They make bowls and
goblets of it, but no pipes. 1t may be
that the loag pipestems which allow
the smoke to cool and lose It's acridity
before reaching the mouth leave the
oriental smoker quite Indifferent in re-
gard to the quality Of the bowl. 4 At
all events, one never sees a Turk with
a meerschaum pipe.

A freshman.

A freshman who had entered one of
the large universities and was not
much accustomed to the ways either
Of institutions Of learning or Of cities
was returning late one evening from a
lecture. When near his lodgings he was
halted by two masked men, who 'held
him up" in true metropolitan style.
One Of the men leveled the convention
al revolver at the young man, while
the other relieved him Of his watch,
pocketbook and other valuables. He
made no mention of the matter to any
body at the time, but few days later
he reported it to the president Of the
university.
1T wasn't a great DEAL" he said.
''but it was more than I like to lose,
and I think it's an outrage to treat a
boy that way
"Why didn't you tell me Of this soon
err" asked the president.
II supposed they would bring the
things back to me next morning. he
answered. "It was a couple Of sopho-
mores hazing me, wasn't it?"-Youth's

Weary Watches.

II suppose" said the matchmaker,
you do not know that watches, like
human beings, sometimes don't go for
the very good reason that they are
tired. Sometimes watch is brought
to me which is all right. Nothing about
it Is out Of order, and it is fairly clean.
When it becomes sulky and refuses to
go except by fits and starts the best
thing to do Is to lay it aside and give it
a rest. The mechanism in a tired
watch seems to be in perfect condition,
but 1t won't work. The fact is that
long and faithful service has thrown
it slightly out Of adjustment in perhaps
ten different places. Scraping and
cleaning and readjusting fine watch
is the worst thing that could be done
to it. A months rest will instead cause
the works slowly to readjust them
selves, and at the end of that time
after careful oiling the watch will go
as cheerfully as ever."- Washington

The recent publication in the
Pioneer relative to the request
of Congressman Stevenson for
the names of old soldiers who
were entitled to an advance of
the sum they received for pen
sion, $I2, has caused some
inquiry as to the provisions and
requirements of the bill passed
by congress authorizing this
increase. All old soldiers over
the age of 81, beginning at the
rate of $12 a month, are to be
increased to SIS per month at
the age of IS, and to $40. per
month at the age of 70. This is
a material advance over the pres.
ent rates, and also more directly
recognizes age alone as con.
elusive claim to pension, to be
obtained without any payment to
pension agents. A man of 81
was but 20 years of age when the
civil war ended, so the new rule
will apply to nearly all survivors
who wore the blue uniform in the
great conflict. It is an act of
justice and of honor where it is
due.

Big Game Birds.

The capercailzie, or 'black game bird
Of Norway" is one Of the largest spe-
cies Of game birds In the world, being
very hardy and frequently attaining a
weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but
when the birds are young they are
easy prey Of hawks. The birds are
what are known as rangers" for the
reason that while in quest Of food
they cover wide expanse Of territory.
During periods Of heavy snowfall they
burrow into the snow and remain until
the storm subsidies before venturing
out again. Their food in winter con-
sists chiefly of birch buds, and in sum-
mer they catch mice and other small
animals. They are rated as members
Of the grouse family and in habits are
