the popular conception of their value
has later not been borne out by the
facts, or has been found to be the
result of ignorance of the proper me-
thod of handling these species.
Notable examples are those of the
| hemlock and red gum in the east,
which for long time were con-
sidered worthless and were wasted,
but which upon better understand
ing Of their use and properties have
come to have considerable value as
lumber trees. The western hemlock
and tanbark oak suffered the same
fate, and caused the total loss of mil
lions of feet of good lumber. Tc

SEATTLE, Sept. 23.-Thinking
him burglar, James O'Donofrlo,

to frighten away the intruder.
Again hearing the man moving
about O'Donofrio fired four more
shots and then catching sight Of
the man fired once more, the
charge striking the supposed bur-
