LAP DESKS

Have you ever considered what a
convenient thing is a Lap Desk ?
When you have started to write a let
ter did you ever la to turn every
thing upside down in the house for
the paper; then, if you can, find the
ink; neyt, get out a search warrant
for ~penholder and pens; and then. 10
and behold, that lot of stamps you
bought lot long ago is stuck away in
something, out no telling where. In
a lap desk the whole business is kept
right together in a compact. neat
leather desk that you can chuck in
your trunk or suit case and take with
you If YOU have TO migrate. Then
there is another advantage, you can
easily move it to any place you wish
without Inconvenience.
When you are racking your brains
about what to select this year for that
friend, Just settle the matter and get
a Lap Desk. What could be more APP
preciated? We have them from SIPS
to $500.

dine, grazing expert in the Forest

the forage Investigations and study
OF range conditions on the Wallowa
National Forest since the work was
begun by the government in 1907 has

About May IS. he will go to the Wal

ments. In speaking of the work on
the WaIlowa, before he left Portland.
Mr.. Jardin said;
The experimental work conducted
ut coyote proof pasture on the Wal
Iowa National Forest, in Oregon, last
season was a continuation Of work
begun in 1907. for the purpose Of
studying the pasturage system Of
handling sheep with a view to bring
ing about the highest possible utili-
cation of grazing lands.
Coyote Proof Fence a Success.
The 'coyote-proof fence construct
ed in 1907 was repaired and the en-
closure cleared of animals in May of
1905. on June q a band of 1900
ewes and lambs of Ramboullet breed
were turned loose in the enclosure.
They were not molested until taken
from the area September %. Dur
ing this time an accurate record was
kept for the purpose of ascertaining
the number and kind of animals COM
ing TO the enclosure, and the attitude
of each toward the 'coyote-proof'
fence. Coyotes were at the fence line
nearly every night during the 95 days
OF test, and not one succeeded In get
ting through. Grizzly bear and brown
bear passed through the enclosures
many times, but did not molest the
sheep. and il may be Of interest to
note that two grizzlies and five brown
bear were killed within the pasture
or near it.
AT the close of the season the
short wool lambs of the pasture

Loss Is Very Small.
The loss from the pasture band
was Jess than oBe-half of one per
cent. The average loss, during the
same period, from outside bands was

Careful comparison of range
grazed under the two systems showed |
that SO per cent is a conservative es-
innate for the increase in carrying |

pasture system over lands graZed |

I'VE have then, an increased car

We may anticipate a heavier, cleaner

OF course, in these observations there
is nothing german TO the present ami
