WILL RESTORE
BURNED WOODS
In Some Cases It Is Necessary to
Sow Seeds In Order to
Secure Former
Growth

An investigation as to the practica-
bility of reforesting the great areas OF
forest lands which have been deVastat-
ed by fire, and which are now lying
barren and unproductive, is now being
carried on by the United States forest
service in the Olympic national forest
in Washington.
The area, selected for the experiments
comprises several thousand acres on
the Soleduck river, and was at one time
covered with a magnificent forest OF
Douglas fir. 1t was first burned over
III 1890 and again in 1895. A third fire
over almost the same area occurred III
1906, destroying the last remnant of the
original forest, leaving the entire area
treeless.
In some regions a second growth OF
trees will come in naturally after
burn, in the course of a few years, and
where this happens artificial means OF
securing reproduction is not necessary,
There are, however, other burns, where
new growth does not come in readily,
due to adverse climatic conditions, alb
sence of seed trees, or perhaps to the
impoverishment of the soil by repeated
fires.
Restoration Necessary
Those areas are often of very large
extent, and in such cases some means,
such as planting trees or sowing seed,
is necessary to restore the forest. The
burn in the Olympic forest is of this
nature, and the forest service Is plan
ming to conduct series of experiments
to determine the proper methods OF re-
foresting the area. Douglas t1r VIII De
the species used.
1t is believed that on the greater part
of the area simply scattering the seed
over the ground in the fall before the
snow falls, or in the early spring, VIII
be sufficient to start a new growth. On
other portions of the area, however,
where a growth of grass and weeds has
covered the ground, 1t will probably be
necessary to work the seed into the
soil by raking or dragging brush over
the ground
In some localities sowing by what is
called the seed spot method, in Whlch

ably be successful. To test these vari-
Gus methods five experimental plots
have been selected. These represent
the various conditions found on the
burn, such as difference in slope, alti-
tude, exposure and vegetation.
This fall a large quantity of Douglas
fir seed will be collected and quantity
sown on each plot. Next spring the
experiments will be repated, and IA is
expected that the results obtained Will
Indicate what methods and what sea-
sons of the year are best adapted to
the conditions found on this burn.

TARIFF In PHILIPPINES.
Regulations are Sent to All Custom Of
AcRPA,

Hc&ESs
Washington, Aug. 10.-Regulations
sent to all customs officers for the ad-
ministration of the Philippine section
of the new tariff law, were made pub
lie today by Acting Secretary OF the
Treasury Reynolds. The regulations
are in the usual form except as they
regulate the shipments of tobacco, ci-
gars and sugar, which articles are ad-
mitted free up to certain prescribed
amounts for each fiscal year.
To avoid abuse of the free entry
provision, collectors of customs are
required to report promptly to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury each, free entry
of sugar, tobacco and cigars granted
giving detailed marks and numbers and
other facts needed for the certain iden-
tification of the shipments.
When the maximum quantities of CT
CARS, tobacco and sugar admitted to
free entry in any fiscal year have been
reached all collectors will be informed
by telegraph. The fact also will be
cabled to representatives in the Phil
ippines. Any shipments en- route when
the maximum has been reached and
which arrive thereafter will have to
pay the full, duty or be returned to
the country of origin, or diverted to
some other country.
For a number of years 1t Is believed
there is no danger of the Philippine
Islands furnishing for export to the
United States the full amount of SUI
gar, tobacco and cigars which the new
law prescribes shall have free entry.

SEVEN MEN ARE
 HELD FOR PEONAGE

Montgomery, December 23-(Special.)- That the government is determined to lay out every means at hand to punish those who have any hand in peonage is indicated in the fact that seven men have been indicted, arrested and held to bail in the sum of s20oo each, as a re- suit of alleged enslavenient of Wash Gardner, a negro. in the counties of Butler and Crenshaw.
 On the direct charge of having held the negro indictment has been found against Butler, Andrew and Sam Scar cey, Henry shanks and Lloyd Killough, with allegations of attempt to suppress evidence laid to Dr. K. W. Harrison Of Enterprise, and John searcey. Flu gene Seareey, one of tine first accused, escaped punishment.
 Dr. Harrison, it will be recalled, re- fused to testify before the grand jury when the charges against the Searceys were being investigated md was excused by Judge Thomas G. Jones. on plea that he was afraid of discriminating him self. The incident was one of the most breezy of the hearings and it looked for a time as If the doctor was going to get into the jail for contempt How ever, the judge allowed him the benefit of the plea and it was thought this would be the last of it.

CHRISTMAS
 DIVIDEND To Stockholders of Jefferson County Building and Loan
 Association
Six Per Cent Checks Have Just Gone
 Into Many . Home

The Jefferson County Building and Loan association years ago inaugurated the custom of sending out its January 1st dividend before Christmas. Not that 1t specially wishes to encourage its share holders to spend the income from their investment on Christmas festivity, but it knows that of all times in the year lit tie extra money is needful and welcome about the 22nd of December.
 Of course, If any shareholder doesn't need to spend his dividend, why he can put it to work along with the principle by using his check to take out more stock A good many of our members do that and in this way compound the interest on their money. It Is surprising how the invest ments Of these members grow.
 These checks we are sending out today aggregate along toward 100000 in money and run up into the hundreds in number, and this Is a tidy bit of money to go abroad twice a year on single class of stock. For this semi-annual dividend is paid only on the six per cent stock. The dividends on the other stocks, savings stock, accommodating stock, loan stock. and guarantee stock, are paid on different dates.
 It is interesting to know that this asso- citation has six per cent shareholders in 26 of the states. It also has one large stockholder in Bulgaria, while one of our missionaries in Japan gets one of our div idend checks twice year. It does not take a lively ina gination to see the semi annual happiness in the far off home of the missionary.
 On January 1st the association will issue it's semi-annual statement to be published in the papers and sent to all stockholders. In the meanwhile, all may rest assured that the association is In sp-endid condi- ton, growing, earning it's dividends and helping hundreds of people every year to come into a home of their own. s+s
