The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-07-23

WASHINGTON, d, C., July 22.-
In order to expedite and render more
effective and economical the work oi
administering the National Forests
field headquarters are to be establish.
ed by the Forest Service in the West
and the clerical force needed to com
plete the organization will be mainly
drawn from the force now employed
in the Washington Office. The change
will take place not later than Janu-
ary |, 1909, and will probably begin
by October Of the present year.
At present the National Forests
are grouped under six districts with
headquarters as follows District ],
Missoula, Montana; District 2, Den
yer, Colorado; District 3, Alhuqucr-
que, New Mexico; District 4, Salt
Lake City, Utah; District S, San
Francisco, California, and District @,
Portland, Oregon. These, headquar-
ters will remain unchanged under
the new plan Of administration. Each
district will be in charge OF an as
sistant forester who will deal di-
rcctly with the supervisor Of the
forests OF his district. Only ques-
tions of special importance will be
submitted to the Washington Office
for action. In this way, the regular
business OF the forests will be much
expedited, while the men who have
charge of the business will be in al
most constant touch with the users
of the Forests The men to take
charge OF the several districts have
not as yet been selected, but they will
be chosen from those in the regular
service force who have had most ex-
perience in the work on the National
Forests.
The growth Of business on National
Forests resulting from the use OF
their resources by the public, has
been steady and rapid ever since the
policy Of wide use supplanted the
policy Of restricted use, at the time
when the management Of the Nation
al Forests was placed under the
Forest Service. One of the big
problems Of administration has been
to get into close touch with the users
of the National Forests, and this has
already been partially solved by var
ious expedients, such as delegating to
local forest officers the authority to
transact large part of the National
Forest business. In this way the pub
lie and the service have been con-
stantly brought closer together. A
second step in the same direction was
the recent transfer of headquarters
for supplies from Washington, D. G.,
to Ogden, Utah A third step was
The placing Of a branch of the office

OF engineering, which has charge OF
permanent improvements on the for
ests, also at Ogden, which is centrally
located The contemplated change is,
therefore. merely the completion OF a
plan which has already been partially
worked out
Probably one third OF the clerical
force now in Washington, mainly
stcnographers and typewriters, will
90 West TO complete the organization
required in each field district. II is
expected that sufficient number Of
clerks in the Washington Office will
desire assignments to the field head
quarters, so that ii will not be neces-
sary to send to the field those who do
not wish to go, and no new appoint
ments will be necessary. In making
selections for the new posts the in
dividual preferences Of the clerks
will be consulted so far as the work
permits.
The change will not affect the form
Of organization of the Forest Service
in Washington. The officers will be
retained as at present, but with a
smaller force All Of the inyestiga-
tive work dohc by the Service, except
that directly connected with the ad
ministration OF the National Forests,
will continue to be directed from
Washington.

ELECTRIC LINE WILL
COST S75O,OOO
Mr.. EVANS ESTIMATES TOTAL
COST WILL BE ABOUT S2s,0Oo
A MILE, WHICH INCLUDES
EQUIPMENT.

+. l.. Evans, promoter OF the eleS
trio line to Seaside, said last night il
response to inquiries from repre-
sentative OF The Astorian, that within
80 days after the completion OF tht
survey to Seaside the work on con
struction OF the line would in all prob
ability be commenced
I The survey will probably be com,
pleted within few weeks. If every
thing is i'll readiness to begin the
construction by October much OF the
work would undoubtedly be com
pleted by spring. OF course the CON
struction will mean the employment
of scores OF men, and the whole en-
terprise means much for Astoria in
more than one way The building of
the line means that hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars will be turned loose
in this community, OF which laborers
and others will get a large share.
And the best OF it all seems to be
that the enterprise appears to be in
the very best OF shape and to all ap-
pearances the actual completion OF
the electric line is now only a mat
ter Of a certain number OF months.
"We are estimating that the cost will
approximate $4,000 a mile, for the
construction work and the equip
ment," said Mr. Evans last night "On
that basis it may be estimated that
the line to Seaside will cost about
$750,00O or, perhaps 100000 more in
cluding the power plant and all"
Mr.. Evans has heretofore talked
little about his plans Of financing the
project, though it is said now from
an apparently authoritative source
that the financial end Of the matter
is in the very best OF shape. That
Mr.. Evans has a wide and very inti-
mate connection with large financial
houses in the east is we'll known to
those interested in the project here,
and it is apparent that he has no
fears about promptly financing the
line just as soon as the surveys and
other preliminary work are done.
1t is planned to carry on the con
struction work throughout the winter,
thought there may be some delays be-
cause of seriously inclement weather.
Mr. L. c. Rogers, the engineer in
charge Of the survey work, has his
force of men now we'll broken in to
work together and the survey is pro-
ceeding rapidly. Following is list
of the personnel Of the survey force:
L. c. Rogers, chief engineer Of
California; f. L. Williams, craftsman,
OF Portland; L. l.. Wood, transitman,
Of Berkeley, Cal; 7. Mulhaupt, level
man, Of Portland; L. c. Campbell,
rodman, Astoria. The others are
mostly from this city, as follows l..
Upshur, head chairman; Guy o. Tur-
pin, rear chairman; Ed Short, stake
artist; J. w. A. Wright, back flag
man; Nels Sorenson, Frank Thomas
and Ed Hof, axemen; with F. l..
Evans as engineer in charge and pro-
motor Of the enterprise.

being sayages-at present. All tho
show we have Is to find some kind Of
quartz or flint, and the ooner we start
to look the better. Got your slippers
tied, Miss jenny"
Yes; | think they'll do"
Think, It's knowing the thing.
Here, let me look"
The girl shrank back, but Blake
stopped and examined first one slipper
and then the other. The ribbons about
both We're tied in dainty bows. Blake
ierked them loose and twisted them
firmly over and under the slippers and
about the girls slender ankles before
klotting the ends.
There; that's more like. You're
not going to a dance" he growled.
He thrust the empty whisky flask
into his hip pocket and went back to
pass a sling of reeds through the gills
OF the coryphene.
"All ready now" he called. "Let'n
get a move on. Keep my coat closer
about your shoulders, Miss Jenny, and
keep your shade up. II you don't want
a sunstroke."
THANK you, Blake. I'll see to that"
said Winthrope. I'm going to help
Miss Leslie along. I've fastened our
two shades together, so that they will
answer for both of US"
How about yourself, Mr.. Blakef"
inquired the girl. do you not find tho
sun fearfully hot?"
Sure; but | wet my head in tho
sea, and here's another souse."
AS he rose with dripping head from
beside the pool he slung the coryphene
on his back and started of without
further words.

assure her. Don't worry about him,
Miss Genevieve, He'll soon return,
with nothing worse than a blistered
back. Fellows of that sort are born
to hang, you know"
But il he should be-if anything
should happen to him!"
Winthrope shrugged his shoulders,
and drew out his silver cigarette case.
1t was more than half-full, and he was
highly gratiied to find that neither the
cigarettes nor the vesta matches in the
cover had been reached by the wet.
by Jove, here's luck!" he *
claimed, and he bowed to Miss Leslie.
Pardon me, but if you have no OBJ
jections-"
The girl nodded as a matter of form,
and Winthrope fastened to light the
cigarette already in his fingers. The
smoke by no means tended to lessen
the dryness of his mouth; yet it put
him in a reflective mood, and in think
ing over what he had read of ship
wrecked parties, he remembered that
a pebble held in the mouth is supposed
to ease ones thirst.
To be sure, there was not a sign of
a pebble within miles of where they
sat; but after some reflection, 1t &C.
Cured to him that one of his steel
keys might do as well. At first Miss
Leslie was reluctant to try the eX-
pertinent, and only the increasing dry
ness of her mouth forced her to seek
the promised relief. Though it failed
TO quench her thirst, she was agree
ably surprised to find that the little
fiat bar of metal eased her craving to
a marked degree.
Winthrope now thought to rig a
shade as Miss Leslie had done, out of
reeds and his handkerchief, for the
sun was scorching his unprotected
head. Thus sheltered, the two
crouched as comfortably as they could
upon the half-dried crest of the hum
mock and waited impatiently for the
return of Blake.

The Worth Of Fire.

IN to a CLASSY plain in the
dead calm, they did not see Blake on
his return until he struck shallow wa.
ter and stood up to wade ashore, The
tide had begun to ebb before he
started landward, and though he vas
a powerful swimmer, the long pull
against the current had so tired him
that when he took to wading he
moved at a tortoise-like gait.
THE bloomin' loafer!" commented
Winthrope. He glanced quickly about,
and at sight of Miss Leslie's arching
brows, fastened to add: Beg par
don. He-ah-reminds me so much
of a NAVY, you know"
Miss Leslie made no reply.
At last Blake was out of the water
and toiling up the muddy beach to the
spot where he had left his clothes.
While dressing he seemed to recover
from his exertions in the water, for
the moment he had finished he sprang
to his feet and came forward at a
brisk pace.
AS he approached, Winthrope
waved his fifth cigarette at him with
languid enthusiasm, and called out as
heartily as his dry lips would per-
nit: Il say, Blake, deuced glad the
sharks didn't get you!"
Sharks bah. All you have to do
is to splash a little, and they haul off,"
How about the steamer, Mr..
Blake?" asked Miss Leslie, turning to
face him.

A bolt?"
Not a bolt; and here we are as
good as naked on this infernal-Hey,
you! what you doing with that match?
The Falls City tribune., 1908-12-11

to be outdone, Winthrope promptly
followed her lead. Blake had already
cut himself a second slice. After he
had cut more for his companions, he
began to look them over with a close
ness hat proved embarrassing to Miss
Leslie.
Here's more of the good stuff" he
said. while you're chewing it, well
sort of take stock. Everybody shell
out everything. Here's my outfit
three shillings, half a dozen poker
chips. and not another blessed Say,
what's become of that whisky flask ?
have you seen my flask?
Here 1t Is. right beside me, Mr.,
Blake" answered Miss Leslie. "But
it is empty"
Might be worse, What you got?
-hairpins, watch? No pocket, | sup
pose?"
None; and no watch. Even most
of my pins are gone" replied the girl,
and she raised her hand to her loosely
coiled hair.
We'll, hold or to what you've got
left. They may come in for fish
hooks. Let's see your shoes"
Miss Leslie slowly thrust a slender
little foot just beyond the hem OF her
draggled white skirt.
Good Lord" groaned Blake, Slip
pers, and high heels at that! How do
you expect TO walk In those things?"
Il can at least try" replied the girl,
with spirit.
"Hobble. Pass 'em over here, Win
ME, my boy"
The slippers were handed over
Blake took one after the other and
wrecked off the heel close to its base.
Now you've at least got a pair Of
slippers" he said, tossing them back
to their owner. Tie them on tight
with a couple of your ribbons, If you
don't want to lose them in the mud.
Now, Winthrope, what you got beside
the knife?"
Winthrope held out a bunch of long
fiat keys and his cigarette case. He
opened the latter and was about to
throw away the two remaining cigar
cites when Blake grasped his wrist.
Hold on, even they may come in
for something. Well at least keep
them until we need the case"
And the keys?"
Make arrow-heads, II we can get
