FORESTRY TOPICS.
A Change Needed in the Methods of
Forest Use-Lines of Advancement.

Forest Use-Lines of Advancement.
"More thorough knowledge of actual
forest conditions has brought wide
realization of the Importance of the
forest in the life of the Nation" says
Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in speaking of
the progress of forestry for the last year
in the Year Book of the Department of
Agriculture.
Enough is now known to make impera-
tive complete change in the methods of
forest use, and the ways in which this
change may best be brought about are
discussed with equal interest by the spec
ialist and the man in the street.
National welfare, as well as individual
comfort is seen to be dependent upon
forest conservation. To this better
knowledge and surer insight is mainly
due the progress which forestry has
made the past year,
Unprecedented forest fires served a
similar purpose, so that the lesson which
they taught in spite of its terrific cost,
will probably pay for itself With a
unanimity never before paralleled the peo-
pie of the country are demanding that a
stop be put to forest waste and destruc-
ton.
"The more striking lines of advance
ment in forestry in 1908 were the follow
ing:
"W Through appropriate educational
channels, public interest in forest pro-
blems was secured more directly and effec-
lively than ever before. Especially valu-
able was the work begun in the schools
from the primary grades to the colleges,
The press aided materially in making
clear the need and purpose of forest
conservation.
"(2) The management of the National
Forests was more scientific, and at the
same time more satisfactory from a bust
ness point of view and more useful to the
public, than over before.
"(3) The States displayed keener
interest and a livelier activity in forest
matters, and State legislatures either
passed or considered bills in which adj
vanced provisions were made for forest
protection from fire and unjust taxation
and for regulating the use of private
forest property in the interest of the pub
lie welfare
40 A partial census taken among
private forest owners furnished proof
that the practice of private forestry is
extending more rapidly than was suppos-
ed, particularly among those who in
their businesses are themselves users of
forest products"

BURGLARY AT HARDWICK.
RObber ChOkes Woman and Makes
Way With Sum of Money.


Hardwick, Oct, 11-Sunday morn
ing about 3 o'clock, the house of Mrs.
E. c. Jacobs on High street was enter
ed by some unknown person and the
sum of $45 in cash was taken from
Mrs. Jacobs desk. In the desk were
also her pension check and a quantity
of money belonging to her daughter,
which were untouched as the thief
evidently did not have time to secure
it. Mrs. Jacobss room was on the
first floor and as she usually leaves
the door to the celler slightly open,
she heard the door creak and thought
nothing of it. She soon heard the sill
verware on the table rattle and think
ing that the cat was on the table she
stepped to the door of the dining room
and, opening it, saw man in
front of the desk with roll of bills
in his hand. She seized him by his
shoulders and asked him what he was
doing and at the same time she turn
ed on the electric light.
The burglar turned off the light and
seized Mrs. Jacobs by the throat, and
threw her to the floor, rendering her
unconscious and injuring her serious
ly.
Entrance was made through acel-
lar window that had been removed to
put in coal. The thief made his es-
cape through the kitchen and went
out by the side door.
The chief of police was notified and
an investigation is being made. No
arrests have been made TINS far

and fuel at cents a gallon, the cost
is estimated at $49425, and for the
second year $153.75.
Now that the question of raising
the temperature even 10 to 10 degree
over a large area has been settled
beyond doubt, the next problem fac
ing the fruit growers is that of reg
ulating the temperature and econ
omy of fuel and labor. For example,
there is no need of raising the tenn
perature 10 degrees when raising It
two degrees will put the blossoms
out of danger. Some are planning TO
meet this problem by having a large
number of small pots and only light
enough of them to keep the tempera-
ture above the danger point. Others
have devised pots with system OF
drafts, so that the heat may be in
creased or decreased as is necessary.
The fruit ranches of the Grand
Valley are very extensive, One, for
example, contains 243 acres, and is
valued at a quarter of a million dol
lars. Its crops include peaches, APP
pies, pears, plums. cherries and soft
shell almonds. An army of people IS
required to pick the fruit. BY an
other season it is expected electric
lines will be running out to the or
chards all over the valley and re-
frigerator cars will be carried right
to the orchards.

coaches, composing a special
train, which was passengured

@Few questions present wider
diversity of opinion than that of
women's suffrage, but there
ought to be no radical variance
as to the duty of the legislature
to submit the proposition to the
people for a test of public opin-
ion as to whether the right of
franchise shall be extended to
the women Of Washington. The
cost of the election will not be a
material factor, and when there
comes a demand having such an
apparently strong backing as the
suffragists are showing at Oily n
pia, the people and not the legis-
lature should assume the respon-
sibility for disposition of the
matter. Tacoma News Herald.
