Last week Wednesday night the
water pipe leading from the main to
THE SENTINEL office bursted, badly
flooding the roadway. Workmen have
since spent several days making repairs,
during which time all users within the
block were cut off. The leak was found
to exist near the curb shut-off and was
an exceptionally bad one.
Mrs. F A. Mellencamp, who has been
seriously i'll for the past few weeks is
reported trifle improved. Upon the
recommendation CT her physician, DR..
w. A. Won Zellen, the services Of q
competent trained nurse is being util-
lied and it is thought that with the
combined efforts of both nurse and
physician that successful results will be
obtained.
The recent conditions are apparently
very satisfactory to the majority of the
lumbermen. A slight thaw which visit
ed this section Tuesday aided m aterially
in settling the snow and as it froze up
the following day many of the places
along the roadways which were almost
impossible were made passable and
swamp holes reinforced. The output
this year in the camps which are wor k
ing promises to exceed that of previous
years.

Numbers Are Queer Things

The Echo prints the following math-
ematical curiosity for the entertainment
of school children specially, though
adults will also be interested. Next
week another will be given.
THE most remarkable arrangement
OF numbers that l know Of, said bust

solving curious problems and digging
up mathematical oddities, is the COM
bination of the six figures of 142857.
Multiply this number by Q and the
answer is 285714; by, 3 the answer is
428571; by a, the answer is 571428;
by S, the answer is 714285; by 6, the
the answer is 857142. Every answer
contains exactly the same digits as the
original sum; and, to cap the climax,

Milwaukee fast Freight

A Milwaukee refrigerator car, loaded
at Chicago for Seattle, has just made
better than mail time in coming across
the country. When the car left Chi
cage, advices were mailed to agents at
different points to ice the car upon
its arrival. At Othello, one of the di
visional points in Central Washington,
the agent kept lookout for the car,
but found that it had reached there
and passed before he received the
mail advices. After the car had
reached Seattle mail advices also ar
rived from several agents, telling about
having missed the car owing to the
car getting in and out of town before
the instructions arrived.

PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES
Means Adopted by the Government to Con-
serve Public Resources

The estimates OF loss by forest fires
made by the service on national for
ests are particularly searching, and take
full account of the injury done to
young growth. Commonly, estimates
of loss from forest fires are based upon
the damage done to standing timber
and to property; they do not reckon
the usually far greater loss in injury or
destruction Of young, growing stock.
The methods by which the govern
ment keeps down the fire losses on the
national forests include:
l. Constant and systematic patrol
by picked forces of rangers and guards.
Q. The construction of roads, trails
and telephone lines, which facilitate
the massing of large fire-fghting forces.
8. The construction of fire lines
which, in some instances, check the
spread of fire without human help.
4. The equipment of the forests
with fre-fghting tools and other sup
plies necessary in fighting fires. The
supplies of tools are kept at convenient
points at all times, in order to have
them easily accessible to forest officers
in case fires break out. 49,
S. Cooperation with railroads, tim
Der land owners and settlers in fire pro-
lection, in this way making it possible
to protect both the land of the COM
panies and the forest service at much
smaller cost to the government than
would be the case were the national
forest lands alone protected by the
local officers.
Just as the practice OF forestry is i'm
portant in the movement for the con-
servation of all natural resources, so is
the protection of the forests from fires
important in the furtherance of rational
forest work. In fact, forestry in many
instances means nothing more than
conservative numbering and the pre-
vention of forest fires. Uncle Sam
realizes that only through the wise use
and care of the forests will it be pos
sible to make natural timberland per-
manently productive. The practice Of
forestry does not mean abbreviating
the use of the land. Instead, con-
sentative numbering and protection of
the young growth from fire will bring
about a steadily increasing use, for
with cultivation and care the yield Of
the forest increases and the product
improves in the same way that the
value of the farm increases under a
proper system of management.

Apple Prices Start Off Higher

The Echo had a visit recently from
B. N. Johnson, of Cashmere, a fruit
grower with considerable stock of in
formation on this important industry
and, too, an owner of land in the Cas-
cade Orchards, which he expects ere
long to set out in fruit trees. Mr..
Johnson said that the past week devel-
oped unusual activity in the apple mar
ket Many sales were made for future
delivery at what is considered good
prices, with an indication that they
will be still higher. Following are the
prevailing figures: Spitz, $3.50 per
box; Winesap, $2.25; Jonathans and
Arkansaw Blacks, 80; Stayman Wine
sap, $1.80; Black Ben and Rome
Beauty, SITS; Blacktwig and Belle
flower, $3.50; Ben Davis, $1.35. Mr..
Johnson also said that a fairly good
crop of apples would be packed from
the orchards in the vicinity of Cash
mere, some of the orchards having an
average crop.
The shortage of apples in the east
ern and middle states orchards, where
in many localities there is total fail
ure, is one of those i'll winds that re-
suit from climatic conditions which will
be followed with the highest prices that
have been paid for this delicious and
universally popular fruit for years. On
account of the fact that only few
orchards in this locality have come into
bearing, apple prices may not prove so
absorbing as they will be later on.
Next season, if it shall prove to be a
good fruit year, carload shipments will
be made from Leavenworth, and The
Echo will make point of keeping its
local patrons posted on prices and all
matters of local interest to fruit growers.
The prices above noted are not those
of the Fruit Growers Pool, which is
understood to have contracted several
hundred cars, but the figures have not
been made public.

TO RESTORE THE BUNCH GRASS
Use of Sheep in Regenerating OVergraZed
Ranges On National Forests

Unique experiments now being con-
Quoted by the United States Forest
Service at the experiment station with
in the Wallowa National Forest in
northeastern Oregon demonstrate that
the grazing Of sheep under proper re-
strictions is an important factor in the
work of reseeding overgrazed ranges.
The problem being studied is that
of restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering of mountain bunch
grass. This grass is one of the most
important of the summer forage plants
in the higher ranges of the Northwest
and its rapid disappearance from the
ranges by reason Of overstocking could
only be regarded as direct economic
loss to the stockmen. Special atten-
ton has therefore been given to the
restoration of the grass by the plant
ecologist of the Forest Service, and
his latest report shows that thorough
reseeding has been secured upon the
areas to which a protective grazing
system has been applied.
In the initial stage three methods of
reseeding were used. Upon one area
the seed was allowed to drop to the
ground without treatment. The seed
was brushed in with brush drag or
harrow on the second tract and upon
the third band of sheep was passed
twice over the area in a compact body.
This summer it has been found that
the area not treated has the lightest
stand of seeding, while the resulting
Seeding stand on the other two areas
showed but little variation in density,
but later, during the period of drought
the seedlings on the area brushed
over died out badly, while on the area
upon which the sheep narrowed in the
seed there was very little loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems of the seed
which had been tramped in were one
half to one inch deeper in the soil than
the root systems of the seed which
had been brushed in, this condition
being due to the fact that the seed
was ground into the soil more deeply
by the sheep than by the brush harrow.
So far as the investigation has been
carried it indicates that denser and
more drought resistant stand of bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area after the plants
have seeded and dropped the seed
than where they are excluded thruout
the entire season. This discovery is
a confirmation of the practicability OF
the plan to use ranges during alternate
spring and fall periods so that a thoro
reseeding may be secured by natural
means.

ReforestatiOn in Oregon

A ton of Douglas fir seeds, capable
of sprouting 80,000,000 big fir trees,
will be planted inside the next few
weeks by the national forest service in
Oregon forest reserves. Fully one
third of the seed will be sown in the
Bull Run reserve where reforestation is
undertaken experimentally to see what
effect it will have in increasing the flow
of Bull Run river, the source of Port
lands water supply. 1t is estimated
that the present flow of the stream is
sufficient to supply the city for the
next fifty years, but it is believed the
volume of water can be doubled, pro-
viding for all future demands of the
city. Other forest reserves will be ex-
perimented upon in covering bare
slopes with the baby trees. Forest
service officials have been handicapped
in the past in securing the seed in
sufficient quantities, although from
$3.50 to $3.50 per pound is paid for
Douglas fir seed.

Believing that the La Fean apple
package and grading bill, introduced
at the special session of the United
States congress last winter, is designed
to favor special interests and that its
enactment will prove detrimental to
the fruit industry in the Pacific north
west, the executive committee OF the
Washington State Horticultural Asso-
citation and the board of trustees of
the National Apple Show, Inc, have
called a convention of apple growers,
shippers, representatives of refrigerator
car concerns and box manufacturers to
meet in Spokane, Nov. 10, for the pur-
pose of considering the provisions of
the measure.

Conserve Public Water

The utterances Of one or two gov
eminent officials anent the conservation
of national resources creates feeling Of
uncertainty and even anxiety. 1t is due
the public, especially all who live in
the so-called irrigation states, That that
suspense be relieved. For years it has
been a constant struggle between the
people and the great corporations which
have grown enormously rich because
of the practical monopoly they have
enjoyed, and the present public mood
is not tolerant of further monopolistic
usurpations of public rights. The prog
of the states in which irrigation is
largely followed will be checked and
their prosperity crippled if few men
manage to get possession and control
of the water supply. Waitsburg Times.
