shington.-Stockmen throughout
the west will be gratified to learn that
federal government is studying means
for using sheep to regenerate over
grazed ranges. Unique experiments
now being conducted by the United
States forest service at the experiment
stations within the Wallowa national
forest in northeastern oregon demon
strate that the grazing of sheep under
proper restrictions is an important
factor in the work of reseeding over
grazed ranges.
The problem being studied is that Of
restoring to depleted ranges their orig
inal covering of mountain bunch
grass. the scientific name of which is
Festuca viridula. This grass is one
of the most important of the summer
forage plants in the higher ranges of
the northwest and its rapid disappear
ance from the range by reason of
overstocking could only be regarded
as a direct economic loss to the stock
men, Special attention has therefore
been given to the restoration of the
grass by the plant zoologist of the
forest reserve. and his latest report
shows that a thorough reseeding has
been secured upon the areas to which
a protective grazing system has been
applied.
Uses Three Methods.
In the initial stages three different
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 up
on the third a band Of sheep was pass
ed over the area in compact body
twice. This summer it has been found
that the area not treated has the
lightest stand of seedlings, while the
resulting seeding stand on the other
two areas showed that 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 bar
rowed in the seed there was very little
loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root system of the seed
which had been tramped in were one
half to one inch deeper in the soil
than the root system 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 har-
row.
Sheep Good.
So far as the investigation has been
carried it indicates that a denser and
more drouth resistant stand of bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area after the plants
have seeded and dropped seen than
where they are excluded throughout
the entire season. This discovery is
a confirmation of the practicability
of the plan to use ranges during alter
nate spring and fall periods so that
thorough reseeding may be secured
by natural means.

FOR REGULATION
Of AUTOMOBILES

About a dozen people, tire majority
being practical Qhauffeulrs, attended
the public meeting to consider the
proposed automobile ordinance held
in the municipal assembly room last
night. Mayor Fern presided at the
request of Chairman Quinn of the
road committee, the latter reading the
bill section by section and discussing
the provisions with those present hav-
ing objections or suggestions to make
Among matters noted for further
consideration by the committee was
proposal to extend the fifteen mile
speed limit bounds, making them from
Palama pumping station to Kalakana
avenue, and from the waterfront to
Judd street. Outside of those bounds
thirty-five-mile speed limit was sug-
gested, but Quiin contended that
eighteen miles on the Pail road was
fast enough for public safety and the
protection of the road from undue
wear and tear.
Delegate Kalanianaole fought Ma
rious sections of the bill with ardor
and persistence, besides contending for
provisions he did not find in it.

THE RAINBOW INQUIRY.

The preliminary examination OF
Tollefsen, captain and owner OF the
Rainbow, for negligence causing the
loss of life was continued by Commits
sioner Davis, after taking evidence, to
Monday next to enable Attorney Wea-
yer for the defendant to file a BRIEF.
Evidence given yesterday showed that
the man at the tiller cF the schooner
was earned overheard by a wave,
when the vessel no longer under con-
troll wallowed lin the heavy seas and
upset. There was only one experience
ed sailor aboard and he was forward.
Contrary to law the vessel while car
rying passengers had kerosene, thirty
gallons of it, aboard. Captain Toilet
sen on his own behalf attempted to
show that the freight in the hold was
sufficient ballast against the forty
five passengers on deck. Mr.. Weaver
raised the point that the defendant
was not liable under the statute be-
cause his passengers did not pay fares

PLANS MONSTER AIRsHIP.
Government offered Craft That Will
Carry 200 Persons 3OO0 Miles.

NEW YORK, July S.-Arne Boerner,
a German, who claims to have solved
the problem of aviation, offers to build
an airship for the United States Gov
eminent which will carry 200 persons
for 5000 miles without landing.
Boerner is a resident of Brussels,
Belgium. He is staying at the Hotel
Ansonia. Mr.. Boerner figures the cost
of building an airship, according to
his designs, at 100000 One of his
proposals, as contained in a letter
which he sent to the Secretary of War
today, is that he will build such a
vessel at his own expense, providing
the Government will agree to pay him
100000 when it IS proved that the
airship fulfills all his guarantees.
For some weeks Mr. Boerner, with
two draughtsmen and an engineer, has
been at work perfecting his designs
in an improvised drafting room on
the 18th floor of the Ansonia.
