In addition to the benefits Sc

regulations which control the use

insure permanent supplies for To-
cal wants, the states having Ma
tiOnal Forests now receive, under
the new agricultural appropriation
bill, rs per cent of the gross pro-
ceeds derived from the sale of Ma
tional Forest resources. This
amount, according to law, goes to
offset any losses to the states
through withdrawal. of forest areas
from taxation, and is devoted to
public roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints
were made that the withdrawal of
timberlands for forest purposes re-
duced the taxable areas of the
states in which Withdrawals were
made. The Forest Service, quick
to see the Justice of these COM
plants, recommended at first that
10 per cent, and later that % per
cent, of the gross proceeds from
the National Forests should be
paid to the states. AS a result,
the states are assured of school

certainly than they otherwise
could have been, since the perma-

A Fish Story

A scientific fish story, which
appeared recently in Harper's
Weekly, rather lays our local fish
ermen's efforts in that line in the
shade. A german scientist CAP.
tured a herring and placed it in a
tank OF salt water. Each day the
professor would take from the
tank half a teaspoonfuI of salt
water and replace it with the same
amount of fresh water. The grad
ual change did not seem to affect
the herring, which remained as
clipper as ver The professor
then started removing the water
from the tank half a teaspoonful a
day. In the course of events the
tank was entirely emptied and
the herring still enjoyed health
and prosperity. The professor
became quite attached to it AMI
placed the Intelligent creature in
a bird cage. One day the profess
sor noted that his pet seemed a
trihe under the weather, and dis
covered he had forgotten to fill
its tray with water. He remedied
the defect, and the next morning
when he went to take n look at the
herring, he found that the poor
thing, in it's eagerness to get a
drink, had fallen into the dish and
drowned.

Government
COAL TESTS
IAN Important Feature Of Uncle
Sans Work In the
West.

Washington, July 22.-The Flu
el- Testing plant of the United
States Geological Survey, ut Dem
ver, Colo, M of the factors of
the coal supply of the country,
will resume operations the latter
part of July. At this plant the
Government is endeavoring to OBJ
tain greater efficiency from the
Goals of the Rocky Mountain fields
by washing and coking them.
Many of the Goals of the west con-
tain such quantities of impurities
ash and sulphur-that they are
not of much value for commercial
use. 1t has been the govern.
ments purpose to wash the impur-
tiles out of these Goals 81 that
they can be utilized. The success
already obtained warrants a con-
tinuation of this work. During
the last fiscal year, ninety tests of
Goals were made at the Denver
plant, resulting in many of them
being decidedly improved.
OF thirty seven Western Goals
tested, at the Denver plant, all
but three produced good coke.
Several of these Goals without
washing have failed to make coke
tit for metallurgical purposes ow-
ing to the large amount of sui
phur in them. Other Goals would
mot even make steam without the
washing process.
N 1t is likely that the final results
of these tests will add millions of
dollars to the fuel values of the
West. 1t has already been shown
that a number of Goals that in the
past have not been mined because
of their impurities, can now be
pro6tably utilized. This will ex-
bend the life of the fuel supply
Rnd make possible vast industrial
Enterprises in the West that would
pot locate there had the Govern
&nent not taken this step.
The lack of knowledge of the
hature of the GOALS of the West
bas been it's chief handicap to
commercial development. With
1he finest supply of bituminous
ind anthracite coal in the world
tbcated in the Eastern part of the
country, it has been felt that the
West, in some instances could not
Compete in manufacturing. The
results shown by the Government
lave done much to dispel this
idea and the West has been going
Onward at a rapid rate. Still fur
Der developments are expected
upon the completion of the tests
this year. The Denver plant is in
charge of A. w. Belden, assisted
by G. r. Delamater. A bulletin
will soon be issued by the Geolo-
gicsl Survey on the work already !
accomplished at this plant.
