HARRY RILER is DOING
FOREST SERVICE IN WEST.
Is Taking Some Fine Views for the Use of the
at Washington-.ls Visiting Various Points in
Idaho and Utah.

The Salt Lake Tribune of July IL
contains the following article on the
work being done by the party of for
est experts in the employ of the u.
S. forest service, of which Harry
Bliler of this city is member:
In its efforts to preserve the for
ests and rehabilitate the nude places
with trees adapted to the soil and
climatic conditions, the government
has established throughout the coun-
try at convenient places what is
known as planting stations, one of
the most promising in the country of
which is the Wasatch planting sta
ton, located near the mouth of Big
Cottonwood canyon, in the Salt
Lake national forest. -.- Il
This station is under the super
vision of N. ]. Fetherolf of the forest
service, and there are already planted
and growing over 100000 seed
ling trees, consisting principally of
Douglas fir, Western yellow pine,
Scotch pine and the like. These en-
bryo trees are growing nicely. When
three years old they will be trans
planted where most needed to con-
serve the city's water supply
"Wednesday and Thursday E. H.
Clark of Salt Lake, in charge Of the
Wasatch and Salt Lake national
forests, accompanied by H. A. BGler
and R. w. Pullmansof Washington,
D. c., visited the planting station
and went over the forest, up Big
Cottonwood canyon and on to

BEMIDJI ELK LODGE SIX
MONTHS OLD--.lOO STRONG
Charles e. Hunts 'Purple Book Says Bemid Lodge
Holds the Record for Quick and Effective Work and
Is Reaching After Greater Things

The Purple Book" Charles F.
Hunts Elk magazine, which is
published at Duluth, contains a
splendid boost" for Bemidji lodge,
in the June number, just received.
Mr.. Hunt says of the local
bunch:
Nothing short of destructive
cyclone, which will wipe the city
off the map, will stihe the ambitions
of Bemidji lodge of Elks. Within
six months these brothers have es-
tablished lodge of 100 members,
with treasury balance of over
$1,000. With an eye to durability,
the movers in this spirit have ad-
mitted only the live" ones, for it
is proverbial that dead Bemidii
Elk would find it to his advantage
to leave town.
The brothers have hattering pros
poets for securing the next meeting
of the state association. The date
will be fixed within a few weeks,
and it is said majority of those
interested have advocated Bemid il
as location. If such is the case,
the entertainment offered the dele
gates will be the best ever given a
body of Elks in Minnesota. It
would be useless to name a Bemidii
Elk who will lead in the entertain
ment matter, for it is an 'all-star'
lodge, and there will be no lack of
vitality where needed.
John Graham and Anton Erick-
son were fitted out with horns at the
last meeting, and their good offices
Swelled the membership roll to 100

brothers.

Big Bunch of Timber.

A. c. Mclean, the local repre-
sentative for the Martin Bros. of
Duluth, has returned from Boy river
and Leech lake, where he has had
charge of the driving of a quantity
of timber for the Martins.
Mr.. Mclean says that there we're
some 10000 pieces in the drive, con-
slsting of cedar poles, pulpwood and
ties, and that the timber was driven
down the Boy river to Leech lake..
and will be taken from the lake at
Kabekona hoist. A spur has been
built to the hoist and the timber
will be taken to Brainerd over the
M. & I. railway, the Northern Pa
cihc railway having purchased the
output.

Farmers living in the Town of
Frohn (the first township east of

prospect of banner crops of all kinds

cold, backward spring crops are as

this time last year.
i O. S. Husett, who owns a fine
tarm in Frohn township, was in the
city yesterday, and, in speaking of
crop conditions, said:

years, and | know.
Clover and timothy will average

atory of the views taken by Mr..
Bliler. .......: I
On his trip Mr.. Bliler took some
very fine views, which when finished
will show to advantage the grandeur
of that portion of the Wasatch
national forest. The making of
Photographic views and getting all
the information possible on the
national forests of the country has
been going On for two or three years,
the purpose being to give the public
full information relating to the
Government forest scheme. "
Mr.. S. N. Spring of Washington.
D. c., chief of forest extension
throughout the United States, was
in Salt Lake Tuesday and Wednes-
day. While here he visited the
Wasatch planting station, and
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the conditions there. The
Seeding plants, he thinks, are adap-
ted to this soil and climate, and
when transplanted will continue to
grow and thrive. --s---....
This scheme of growing forests
is only a few years old in this coun-
try, but in Germany, Japan and
other countries it has been going on
for ages, and today in those coun-
tries they have regular forests. It is
only a question of time, in this
country, when there will be splendid
forests where now are barren hill
sides. In this regard the Ge.ern-
ment is doing a good work, which
will eventually be appreciated BY az
people," =. $3.50
