One of the greatest fights of the
session will be over the postal saw
ings bank proposal. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that this is in the last
Republican national platform and is
even mentioned as an alternative in
the Democratic platform, it will be
opposed by an influential section of
both parties. The banks, of course,
will antagonize it--not only the pri-
vate savings institutions, but the ma
tional and state banks.
Ship subsidies will bring another
fight, but from an entirely different
source. The American people are
additionally opposed to the granting
of direct subsidies Mr.. Taft is the
only President that has come out
flatfooted for ship subsidies.

THE NEWS OF CHILEAN COUNTY

o. M. Butler, of Cashmere, suddenly
disappeared Monday of last week and
is supposed to have committed suicide
by drowning himself in the river. The
rash act is attributed to temporary in
sanity, occasioned by the knowledge
that he was affected with incurable
heart disease. Mr.. Buffers financial
affairs are in excellent shape. He left
a wife and two children. The river was
searched for the body, but with no
result.
The recent heavy rains caused the
Wenatchee river to rise to the level of
its banks in the vicinity of Cashmere,
where it carried out the north half of
the river bridge on the road leading up
to Nahahum canyon. The north half
was twisted around and hangs down
stream. The bridge was built three
years ago at a cost of about $1,000
The bridge at Dryden was rendered
unsafe by the high water and has been
condemned.

LUMBERMEN AND CONSERVATION
Fifteen Million Feet of Lumber Saved
Every Year in Washington
and Oregon

The Pacific Coast lumber manufac-
turers have taken the initiative in an
important step for the promotion of
proper and conservative use Of their
timber supply. Practically all OF the
large lumber in the states of Oregon
and Washington have entered into an
agreement to manufacture odd as we'll
as even lengths in flooring, finish and
similar planning mill products. Here
tofore it has been customary to manu-
facture these products in even lengths
only. Now it is proposed to trim the
manufactured lumber to lengths of odd
numbers as we'll as even numbers of
feet. Under the old system a consid
cradle portion of the lumber which
came to the shaping machine was
wasted, and this action has been taken
in order to save that waste.
Considerable opposition to this in
novation has arisen among retailers and
consumers. The retailer contends that
it is impossible for him to dispose of
odd length material because Of the
common practice in the construction
of wooden buildings, claiming that the
initial saving of the manufacturer is
transferred to the consumer. This is
denied, however, because of the pro-
portionally small amount of odd length
material which will occur under the
new system, and because of the latter
day practice of laying sub-hoors of
rough lumber and sheathing on the
sides of the house before putting the
finishing material in place.
Because of the conservation element
which enters into this question the
United States Forest Service has been
recommending the adoption of odd
lengths for some time past. The
Portland office of the service has re-
Gently made an investigation of the
actual amount OF unnecessary waste in
cident to the manufacture of even
lengths only, and these figures show
that under the old system the refuse
burner consumed about two per cent
of the total amount of the important
forms of planning mill products which
are manufactured from Douglas fir and
other important forest species in the
states of Washington and Oregon.
When it is considered that about
$50, 10000 feet of planning mill pro-
ducts are manufactured annually in the
two states mentioned above, this two
per cent assumes important proper
tons. The Forest Service is authority
for the statement that $4,000, OO0
board feet of high-priced lumber can
be saved annually in Washington and
Oregon by the manufacture of planning
mill products into lengths of odd feet
as we'll as even. 1t would require the
yearly growth of timber on approx
mately $4,000 acres of average timber
land to produce the amount of lumber
which this annual waste represents.
The manufacturer is convinced that
the waste is unnecessary. His greatest
trouble now lies with a similar convic-
ton on the part of the consumer that
odd lengths can be used as economi-
cally as even lengths.

were brought in by the passenger train

The details of the accident are very

before the train could be stopped he
was killed. Apparently Sweeney was
about fifty-six years Of age. He had

The annual meeting of the Chelan
County Horticultural Association will
be held at Cashmere, Saturday, Dec.
IS. The society at that time will dis
cuss the Lafean grading and packing
bill in all its details, prepare for the
convention in Wenatchee of the Wash
ington State Horticultural Association
and elect officers for the ensuing year.
The county society will hold two ses-
sions at its annual meeting, one in the
morning and the other in the after
noon. At the morning session the
members will give consideration to the
Lafean measure, which is now pending
in the federal congress, and which is
proposed national law regulating the
grading and packing of apples. The
association will no doubt endorse the
action taken recently at Spokane by
the Pacific Northwest Growers, who
recommended that the bill be amend
ed so as to make the Northwest box
the standard apple package and the
Winchester bushel the standard of
measurement. After the disposal of
the Lafean bill there will be read
several papers relating to important
branches of the apple industry.

Large Tracts Set aside in.

NEARLY ONE MILLION ACRES
Plot located in St. Louis, Lake
and Cook Counties.


President Roosevelt has created
great forrest reserve in Northern Min.
nesetar covering 909,734 ages, the
largest government reserve In the
country east of the Rocky mountains,
The reserve lies in two tracts, one
comprising about twenty townships in
the northeastern corner of ST. Louis
county, bordering on the Rainy river;
the other tract to the east, partly in
Lake and partly in Cook counties
reaching almost to Lake: Superior,
This tract does not reach the; bound

The new reserve is mueh larger
than the one at Cass Lake, the only
one previously established in the
state. The Cass Lake reserve takes
in only about 100000 acres The land
set aside is nearly all timbered, being
generally rocky and unfit for eHItiva
ton
1t is now desired that the. legisla
ture forbid the killing Of big game in
this territory, which is a. great breed
ing ground for moose. Such action
by Minnesota would practically turn
