PROTECTING OUR FORESTS
The Telephone Becoming an important
Factor in fire Fighting

The telephone on the National For
est is not only Of the greatest assist
ance in the management of the Forest
but its value is inestimable when used
to report or summon help for fire.
In a single case Of forest fire it may be
worth the entire cost Of its construction.
No other work Of improving the For
ests has been more acceptable to the
residents in their vicinity.
In the summer Of 1905 Secretary
Wilson and United States Forester
Clifford Pinchot, after going over large
areas of little developed and almost
unexplored National Forest land, de-
cided that systems Of telephones, with
proper connections, would be inval-
liable on the forests of the west.
It was not until sometime later, how
ever when Congress made a specific
appropriation for the improvement OF
the National Forests, that funds were
available for this purpose. Last year
5000 miles of telephone lines were
constructed on the 148 National For
ests in the West, and wire to build
about 400 miles of additional line was
shipped to the various Forests, but
with the funds on hand the work of
construction could not be completed.
A town in southern Utah, with about
1000 inhabitants, was isolated four
days ride from the nearest railroad
station until telephone line was built
by the Forest Service across the noun
famous country for forty miles, thus
connecting the town, the headquarters
of the Forest, and several ranger cab
ms with the telegraph station.
From two to five ranger stations are
now connected with the Supervisors
office on many of the National Forests,
and by the use of phones in the homes
of settlers centrally located, other
points on the Forest are reached. The
marked saving in time otherwise re-
CURED for trip Of from twenty to forty
miles is evident.
On some forests lookout stations
have been established to which wire
is run and a man stationed in the vi
cinity, so that he can climb the point
OF vantage several times each day and
with his glass sweep over the land
scape in every direction, quickly scan
ming an area of two or three hundred
thousand acres. 1t is by such plans
that fire patrol and fire control have
been established on the National For
ests with an exceedingly small pro-
tective force and damage from fire has
been reduced to a minimum.

LOW TOURIST RATES THIS FALL
Senate Committee on Irrigation and ReCla-
nation Will Visit Northwest in
September

Colonist rates will be put into effect
by the transcontinental railroads this
fall that will be identical with those
that brought $4,000 settlers to the
Pacific Northwest last spring. These
rates will be in force during September
and October. The rates will go into
effect September IS and continue un-
til October IS. The rates will be S33
to the Pacific Coast cities from Chicago
SIS from Omaha and St. Paul, with
similar low rates from all other eastern
terminals. This advantageous rate
means large additions to the population
of the Pacific Northwest during the
coming fall. They will be all the
more effective by reason Of the wide
publicity given the Northwest by the
Alaska-Y ukon-Pacifc exposition. Thou
sands Of visitors to the fair have gained
a knowledge of the country, and will
have decided to return and make their
homes here by the time the colonist
rates are in effect. Railroad officials
in touch with the movement of new
settlers believe that the year 1909 will
be the banner one in immigration.
Secretary Ballinger of the Depart
ment of the interior is visiting North
western irrigation projects this week.
1t is the intention of the Secretary to
make a close personal inspection of
the irrigation districts of the Northwest
on his present trips. He will go over
Oregon, Washington and Idaho pro-
iects and learn the needs of the differ
ent sections, in company with irriga-
ton engineers in charge Of the dis
trict, and decide upon the prosecution
of work already outlined and the under
taking of new development along the
same lines.
The United States Senate committee
on irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands will leave Chicago about August
81 to come to the Northwest to in
spect irrigation work. Practically all
of September will be taken up by the
in the study Of the various
projects. Washington and Oregon
irrigation districts will receive a large
share of the attention of the COM
mittee, which will be prepared to re-
port on what is being accomplished here
by watering arid portions of the Coast.
New high record prices were reached
in the hog market at Portland during
the past week. Last Thursday hogs
to SO per 100 pounds, this
being the highest value ever recorded
within the memory of the trade. A
shipment of II hogs from the William
cite Valley received this attractive fig
ure. The hogs averaged 184 pounds
each and brought the unusual price of
better than $16.55 each.
President Taft will visit the Pacific
Northwest in October While here
he will be entertained at the Coast
cities and his stay made as pleasant as
possible. Official plans for his re-
ception here have not yet been com
pleted.

SEATTLE ENTERTAINS EDITORS
National and State Editorial Associations
Guests of A.-Y.-P. Management

At the dinner given to the members
OF the Washington State Editorial Asso-
citation at the recent convention held
In Seattle, by the exploitation depart
ment Of the Alaska ukon-Pacifc Fx-
position, Director James A. Wood made
it plain that the unusual success
achieved by the Fair is due to the
hearty cooperation of the newspapers
OF the state and nation, more than to
any other one source. President J. E.
Chilberg, Director General I. A. Nadeau
and other speakers connected with the
exposition, heartily endorsed this trib-
ute to the press, which has been so
generous in its encouragement of the
project by giving it almost unlimited
publicity. The exposition manage
ment extented every facility to the
visiting newspapermen and their fam
lies while in Seattle. As a fitting
finale, Director of Exploitation Wood
had all of them as his guests for a trip
around Lake Washington on the closing
day. A dainty box lunch was served
on board the Steamer Urania, following
which three cheers were given for the
host. The election of officers resulted
in the following selections: President,
F. A. Hazeltine, South Bend Journal;
first yice-president, M. E. Randall,
Ellensberg Localizer; second vice-pres-
ident, Fred Ornes, Mt. Vernon Argus;
secretary, A. A. Smith, Port Angeles
Tribune-Times; historian Dan w. Bush,
Chehalis Bee-Nugget; orator, Bert H.
Thorpe, professor of journalism at u"
of w; poet, Frank B. Cole, Puget
Sound Lumberman, Tacoma. Invita-
tons for the 1910 convention have
been received from Anacortes and
Wenatchee. The executive committee
will determine which one is to be
selected. Credit is due to Albert
Johnson, of the Hoquiam Washing
tonian, for this years meeting, which
has been pronounced the most success
full one ever held.

Assessor A. E. Parish of King county,
has announced that he will assess the
leasehold of the Metropolitan Building
Company for the old university grounds,
in the heart OF the city. When the
company made the contract with the
university regents several years ago, it
was commended by the lessee that this
state land was exempt from taxation
and il has never been assessed. Val
liable Improvements have been erected
on the land and more are contem-
plated. The lease in question is now
being subjected to considerable ques-
ton, as not providing sufficient rev.
enue to the state. 1t covers a period
of fifty years, at the expiration of which
time all OF the Improvements become
the property of the state.

accommodations, the Great Northern
Railway has advised the State Railway
Commission that improvements will be
made. General Manager ]. A. Gruber
told the commissioners al Olympia
recently that the company was inclined
to accede to the wishes Of its patrons
wherever the same were at all reason
able. Progress was reported on the
new station being erected at Wenat-
chez. The relocation of the Edmonds
depot is to be taken up at once.
Anacortes has been given an extra
train, as requested. Electric motors
are being used to operate the trains
through the Cascade tunnel. Several
minor points OF difference between the
railroad and shippers have also been
satisfactorily settled.

The untimely death Of Congressman
Francis E. Cushman has served to
complicate political conditions in the
Second District to such an extent that
the outcome is the grounds for much
speculation. There are two factions in
the republican party in Pierce county,
which threaten to disrupt harmony to
such an extent that the democrats are
casting about for their strongest man,
believing that they stand good chance
to win. They are confident OF victory
also because OF the growing dissatistac-
ton on the part of the people IN gen
eral with Congress and its unsatisfactory
handling of the tariff. Gov. M. (. Hay
and Senator w. H. Paulhamus are on
one side of the republican argument
and they will have to try conclusions
with some of the strongest men in the
district, all OF which adds to the uncer-
tainty Of the outcome.

WEIRD SCENE IN A MORGUE

Somerville, n. J.-While Arthur Ev-
erton, a self-styled professor" and
travelling hypnotist, sobbed in his cell
three calm medical men witnessed y
weird performance in the morgue or
the Somerset hospital recently. There
William E. Davenport, secretary to the
mayor of Newark and a student OF
hypnotism, vainly tried to bring back
signs Of life in the rigid body of Rob-
ert Simpson, former street car con-
ductor of Newark. who apparently died
after having been put into hypnotic
trance by Everton before large au-

Meanwhile, charged with manslaugh-

the action of the grand jury as a Sc
Quence to stage trick familiar
throughout this country and abroad.
1t was at the piteous insistence Of
Everton while in jail after his inef-
fectual attempt to revive Simpson,
that Davenport, friend of Everton,
came into the case. Notwithstanding
the declarations of physicians that
Simpson was dead, Everton pleaded
that Davenport be allowed to revive
him.

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay,
written by boy in London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count Of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

shape of the crown, and the brim pre-
viously covered with silk, is finished
with a plated ruffle of this material.
A rosette of ribbon or hemmed silk

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover

story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor Of New York
asked William c. Whitney's advice.
This Is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary

More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re-
sult is a greater number of designs
10 choose from. This branch of the
I1illiner's art was neglected because it
was not profitable to the milliner. But
now the manufacturers of hats have
begun to produce numbers of pretty
and inexpensive shapes, which may
be quickly trimmed, and the milliner
hak been able to show variety of
ny lels at a price which her patrons
will consider.
Nothing will ever supplant the plain
flat" in felt as the most popular of
hats for the little girl at this season.
Next to 1t are the bonnet-like hats, the
mushroom shapes, with dropping brim
and full, soft crowns. Two of these
pretty and childish models are shown
in Figs. / and 2. In the first a soft
crown of velvet is very cleverly mount
ed to the brim. Six box plaits laid at
equally distant intervals are slashed
so that a collar of soft ribbon is run
through them and is finished in rib
bon bow at the left side, toward the
back The same ribbon is plated in a
ruffIe srDout the Srim. Little original
touches, such as there are in trim
ming, are more valuable in making
childrens millinery than any amount
of elaboration in work.
