A GOOD RULING.

The postoffice department at Wash
ington has made ruling which, if en-
forced, is going to make lot ofweekly,
semi-weekly. and other newspapers re-
model their methods of doing bust
ness.
The order is to the effec, that weekly
newspapers will not be allowed to
mail papers at the second class rate to
subscribers who are more than a year
behind in their subscription, while
semi-weekly newspapers must require
all to pay up within six months, and
dailies within shorter time.
Here in Fla,head county there are
number of newspapers that have
been run upon the plan of "once a
subscriber always a subscriber" be-
cause a name would not be taken from
the list if subscriber never paid up
1t is poor way of doing business,
and is not only bad for the paper USE
ing the system, but also operates
against the publisher who is doing bus
mess along business lines.
The Pilot is not affected by the new
ruling, as the plan which the postmas
ter general has decided to put into ef
feet has always been followed by this
newspaper. We positively will not have
"deadheads" on our list, even though
other newspapers do, and the an
nouncement Of the postmaster genera
is welcomed in The Pilot Office, as it i
in all other Offices that do bushes.
along the right lines. There are
number Of newspapers in this county
however, who will have to amend theil
circulation statements If they compl,
with the ruling, and we hope, for thei
own good and the good of other pub
fishers, they will be compelled to liv,
up to the new order.

LoDdEPoLE PINE MADE DURABLE,

LOD0EPOLE PINE MADE DURABLE.
HE forestry department of the United States govern
ment to be concentrating it's energies, in al
great degree to the work of supplying treatment by
which inferior woods may be made to take the place of
the hard and expensive kinds Of timber and to this
end especial attention is being directed to odgepole pine
AS the country surrounding Whtefsh is largely COW
cred by growth of this timber the people Of this locality
directly and particularly interested in the work Of the
government along this lne and have to feel
elated at the progress that is being made
Particular attention is being given to treating lodge
pole pine to make the timber sufficiently durable to
take the place of other timber for telegraph poles and
fence posts.
bulletin recently issued by the forestry department
states that fence posts of many kinds Of cheap woods
which ordinarily would decay if set in the ground
be made to last for twenty years by simple treat
ment with creosote. Most of the so-called inferior
woods we'll adapted to the treatment and this is e
pecaly true Of cottonwood aspen, willow, sycamore,
lowgrade pines, and of the gums When properly
treated these woods outlast untreated cedar and oak
which are becoming too scarce and too much in demand
for other to allow of their meeting the demand for
fence posts.
mpregnaton with creosote has been greatly cheapened
by the introduction of the open tank which can be in
stalled at cost of from $50 to $5 or much less an old
boiler is used. tank with bottom IL square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 SO 6nch posts day. or
double this number when two per day be made
The absorption of creosote per post about as follows
Eucalyptus, onetenth gallon; willow, two-tenths gaon
sassafras, ash, hickory, red oak water oak elm and
maple fourtenths gaon Douglas fir, quakng ASPEN and
black walnut, sxenths gallon; sycamore, cottonwood
and odgepole pine seven-tenths gallon. The price of
creosote is about 10 cents per gallon in the east and mid
die west 16 cents per gallon the Pacific coast and ~
cents per gallon in the Rocky mountain states The cost
of treating post will therefore vary from to Is cents
Properly treated should give service for at least twenty
years.
Experiments of the forest service show that with
preservatve treatment the durability of odgepole pine in
Idaho is increased sixteen years The cost Of creosote is
there relatively high yet by treating posts there is saw
ing, with interest at per cent Of cents per post yearly
More important than the saving, however is the fact
that through preservave treatment other woods are fit
ted to take the place of CEDAR Of which the supply rap

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

The fruit industry of this state
is growing more rapidly than
the residents of this state imag-
inc or can believe. Itnow ranks
as the fourth or fifth industry in
the state. The wheat lands are
gradually wearing out and the
yield of this crop is decreasing
annually. The salmon catch is
falling off annually and eventu-
ally the timber of the state will
be cut down. Finally there will
be but two important industries
in this state-fruitgrowing and
dairying. That being so, let US
make the best possible use of the
apple as an advertisement, that
more people may be brought to
this state to assist in the devel-
opment Of those two industries
which promise so much to the
material prosperity of this great
state.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

lC came upon a mldnlgnC clear,
that glorious Shepherd Song,
proclaiming peace on Earth
ana Goodwill to Men, for unto us
is born this day in the City of
David, Savior who is Christ the
Lord" and adown the misty
aisles of nineteen centuries of
tim that same swelling anthem
has re-echoed with each recurring
Christmastide, filling with JOY
and gladness the hearts of count
less millions and awakening in
every heart the desire to emulate
the Three Wise Men, who, upon
the day of the Nativity, brought
gifts to the Christ child.
So, at this happy season. there
is the same unselfish spirit of
giving, the same desire to bring
peace and good will, the same
glad outburst of melody and the
same feasting and merriment
that marked the birthmorn of the
Babe of Bethlehem.
Not lapse of time nor the fever
ish race for power, position and
wealth has ever had the least ef-
feet upon the pure spirit of Civ
ing or dimmed the memory of
that day so long held in hallowed
remembrance. In palace and
hovel, on land and sea, among
rich and poor, exalted and hum
hle, this is one day when all hui
manity meets on one common
level and gives for the pure
pleasure of giving, and feasts
because no other anniversary
bears with it so strong en- incen-
tive to good cheer.
OF all the customs and observ-
ances among the nations which
have grown out of and become
associated with this holy as well
as holiday, the mythical Kriss-
Kringle of the ancient Dutch and
the joyous Yuletide celebration
of Merrie England hold foremost
place, because the first symbolizes
the spirit Of giving gifts and the
latter the realization of the bless
ing of meeting and feasting with
friends and loved ones.
Other days, even of national
import, may cease to be observed
and other lives sink into oblivion
as time wings its remorseless
flight and the wreck of empires
blots history from memory, but
the celebration of Christmas day
will go on and on and the coming
of the Christ child will be remem-
bered and sacredly kept so long
as humanity shall exist and
Christianity endure and that will
be until the heavens shall roll to-
gether as a scroll and the earth
melt with fervent heat, even un-
til time is lost in eternity.
While all the world now gives
out its gladstone greeting, so the |
GAZETTE extends to all it's read
ers, patrons and friends it's best |
wishes for a Merry Christmas.

The Golden Side.

There is many rest on the road Of
life,
II we only would stop to take It;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake
it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hore,
And whose beautiful trust ne'cr
falleth,
The grass is green and the flowers
are bright,
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods VIII with a ready
heart
And hands that are swift and smil-
ing,
Than to snap the delicate silver
threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then Heav'n blame for. the tangled
ends. -
