HELloCRAPHS TO BE
USED IN FORESTS
An Experiment Which May Lead to
Very Useful and Important
Results.

The Forest service is giving out
for publication the following import
ant information which will be read
with interest by all who realize the
Importance of prompt efforts in SUBJ
DUNG forest fires. The experiments
which are to be made this season In
calling for help in case of fires in
our great forests will be of the
greatest interest and If they prove
successful will be the means of saw
ing millions of dollars.
Experiments will be made during
the summer with the standard hello,
graphs which are now used in the
War Department, for signaling on
the national forests. One of these
experiments will be on the Kanillsu
National Forest, in Idaho, and the
other on the Stanislaus Forest in
California
1t is intended to discover whether
these instruments will be of use on
national forests to report fires or
transmit other messages in areas
where there is no quick method Of
communication
The conditions of climate and lati-
tude, as well as the species of inflam-
mable trees in the two forests are
sufficiently different to determine
whether the instrument is suited to
some localities and not to others.
Easy and quick communication to
all parts of forest must be had II
fire is to be kept down. Anyone who
knows the fearful damage wrought
by forest fires on private and un-
protected lands each year, will easi-
ly see that through fire patrol, use

Below is receipt for killing poi
son Ivy taken from the Farm Journ-
al This method is quite as good for
killing poison oak as ivy. In using
the fire remedy great care should be
taken not to allow the smoke to
reach you as It will convey the poi
son to the eyes and face. There Is
considerable poison oak in this vicin-
ity and 1t is highly desirable to get
rid of It.
Every summer We receive a flood
of inquiries about how to eradicate
poison Ivy! There are various ways
but the following are the best we've
ever found;
Concentrated sulphuric acid will
kill poison Ivy. Dose each plant with
a half teaspoonful to each stem,
making the application during the
growing season, every three weeks
II large area is covered by the
plants, spraying with arsenate OF
soda Il pound to 20 gallons OF
water) will kill all vegetation. One
application II the plants are younf
and tender, will do this. In the mid
die of summer. however. they shoult
be cut down first, and more than on,
application given.
Here's another way; A friend o.
ours puts straw along the stone
fences, etc. infested with poison ivy
and then sets fire to the straw, re
peatlng the operation at interval
until the plants give up trying (,
grow. This is easy, yet effective
BY wearing gloves and approaching
the vines on the windward side, M
one should have any trouble in car
rying out this treatment Use

Good crops Of onions have been
grown on small scale by a peculiar
system which may be called board
culture" One grower tried the plan
last year on a patch of six or eight
square rods. The onion field was
prepared in the usual way with the
rows lG inches apart Onion sets
Of the large, white varieties were
then prlcked out about 6 inches
apart in the rows. Boards a foot
wide Of the same length as the rows
were placed between the rows, leay-
ing q space of inches for the onions
to grow, The labor OF keeping the
plants clean and cultivated was very
light and big yield was gathered.
About 700 feet Of cheap boards were
required No doubt If the rows had
been only to 10 inches apart, with
6-lnch boards between the rows, a
much larger quantity could have
been grown on the same land.

When the above dispatch was read
to him last night, United States Dis
trict Attorney McCourt said he had
been instructed by Attorney General
Wickersham several months ago to
examine all the cases pending here
and determine which of these could
be brought to trial within a reason
able time. Those that could not be
disposed of without considerable de-
lay were to be dismissed Mr.. Nc
Court said he had acted accordingly.
He has investigated every case in his
charge and has made recommenda-
tions concerning all of them. He
was advised that representative of
the Department of Justice would ar
rive here in May to pass upon these.
This official will not be able to come
to Portland until September Mr..
McCourt says he is prepared to pro-
ceeu win MS cases when the term
opens in October and that they will
be disposed of at that time as order
ed by the department.
With regard to the Hermann trial,
Mr.. McCourt said it was the desire
of the department that Mr. Heney
should conduct that case. This was
Mr.. McCourt's wish also, for the rea.
son that Mr.. Heney is familiar with
every phase of the case, having per-
sonally examined many Of the wit
nesses, and knows also the theory
under which he brought the action
Mr.. McCourt, however, indicated that
in the event Mr.. Heney's engage
ments prevented his being here. the
United States Attorneys Office would
conduct the Hermann case.

through cement and iron pipes over
1000 inches at nominal cost when
compared with the value of the re-
turns.
Third. from individual pumping
plants, the latter furnishing abundant
of good. cold water fit for domestic
as well as irrigation purposes.
The third great asset is the oil in
dustry. The crude petroleum oozed
out of the canyon above the town ages
ago. Brea canyon, not far from Whit
tier, is so named because of Stag de-
posits from petroleum. In these hills
there are hundreds of oil derricks and
fine wells, yielding thousands of bar
rels annually, and new wells are being
sunk and new fields are being proved
and outlined by wealthy corporations.
The returns from this industry are
about s1,0OO,O0O. The fourth great asset
are the citrus orchards Here is a large
cooperative packing establishment
having special brands and trademarks
the lemons and oranges carefully pack
ed and shipped to almost every state
in the Union, sought alike by dealers
and consumers because of keeping
qualities and flavor The money value
annually of the golden fruit is $3.50, 900
The fifth asset is found i'm the walnut.
There are two walnut assoc ations
CoHtlSuOuS TO WHlttlei ana Wnlcn our
banks finance named the Whittier Wal
nut Owners association and the Los
Nietos Walnut Growers association.
These associations have shipped this
year about $50 carloads of fine, large,
well-filled nuts. The returns from this
source average about $450,000 or 100000
while the cereals net about
$150,000 and vegetables $100,0 Labor
ers receive in the oil fields from $3.50
to $4 a day. In the orchards from S2
to $3.50 a day; man and team, $3.50 and
So a day. The aggregate income from
all these industries is about 81, 100000
The sixth asset of Whittier is the ex-
cellent moral atmosphere. No saloon
has ever disgraced our town. No red
light district has ever polluted the
night air. No bacchanalian song or
debauch has ever awakened our youth.
In the absence of these demoralizing
influences Whittier has attracted the
best and most enterprising citizens
from all parts of America, hence the
town has wholesome laws and ordi-
nances embodying the sentiments of a
chaste and high class citizenship.
The seventh valuable asset Is found
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-28

in a cloudy pillow that rests or floats
eastward from this pleasure seeking,
sightseeing millionaire, money-mak-
ing city of the glorious west.
This picture which nature has so
wonderfully painted is impossible to
describe or put on canvass or photo
graph with it's many shades of light
and color. can only be seen from the
acropolis of the Whittier hills. But If
we face about we behold the white
capped peak of our meridian base line,
San Bernardino mountain. Looking
northward we see the Arrowhead
mountain, Rubio canyon, Wilson's
peak and Mt. Lowe, at the base of
which is located the Crown City of
the southland-Pasadena. Thus Whit
tier is in the center of things. The
center of matchless scenic beauty, of
the oil we'll industry, of yellow-fruit-
ed groves and soft-shell English wal
nut forests, of alfalfa and vegetable
fields. 1t would be difficult If not i'm
possible to find another location as
we'll favored and protected as this. 1t
is well known that the dry desert
winds are a menace to the fruits while
hanging on the trees.
Bruises causing decay and scars
marring the fruit are caused by heavy
winds. Sometimes hundreds of boxes
are lost or ruined by these storms.
Whittier is protected by those Puente
hills, which act as a wind break. These
wind storms blowing hardest along
the ground are divided by these hills,
one current draws south through the
Santa Ana canyon, while another go
ing north drives through the San Ga
briel valley until checked by the heavy
air of the sea.
While Whittier's atmosphere remains
undisturbed, her windmills lying idle
and the golden fruit unmolested, the
natural assets of this section are first,
it's soil. A rich deposit from the foot
hills carried down by the flood waters
for centuries, is now from forty to
ninety feet deep. Loose alluvial de-
posit, rich in all the elements essential
to the production, flavor color of the
citrus fruit some orchards yielding
large returns year after year with little
or no fertilization.
The second valuable asset is water
The irrigation system, or rather sys-
TENS, are three. First from the river
San Gabriel. Second. from the Cali
fornia Domestic Water company,
whose wells bring to the orchards
