Results of Rate Case.

Spokane, Wash, April 1O.-One
of the immediate results of the vic
tory for Spokane in the famous rate
case against the transcontinental
railroads operating in this territory
will be the organization by the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce of the
Inland Empire League of Clubs in
eastern Washington, northern Idaho,
western Montana, northeastern Ore
gon and southeastern British Colum-
bia, taking in 100 or more promotion
organizations. Frederick E. Goodall,
president of the chamber of commerce
believes before the end of the year
every commercial and development
club and chamber of commerce in
the Spokane country will be identi-
fed with the movement, which is de-
signed to encourage the influx of
population and capital to develop the
fruit growing, farming and dairy dis
tricts and protect the interests Of the
shipper and consumer against dis
elimination and overcharges by the
railroads.

ty-fve voices that rendered several
selections of an appropriate charac-
ter. Miss Clara Christensen, who
recently returned home from Mime
apolis, sang an Easter song that dis
played the rich quality of her voice.
The address of the afternoon was
delivered by DR.. Samuel Kerfoot,
president of the University, who is a
Sir Knight. His address was with
out doubt one of the best that has
ever been given to the knights Tenn
plar of this city. His thoughts were
conferred around the tenets of Knight
hood, and he picked up the earlier
threads of the order of the knights
centuries ago and explained their
relation to the people of those days.
when the knights went forth to do
battle for the weak and the Cypress
ed, am % stand for the better prfn-
ciples az life. His address through
out was charged with this message,
and at one point urged the Sir
knights to use their influence to pro
tect the homes of the people from
the assault of the saloon. DR.. Ker-
foot said that it was not his inten-
ton to speak on temperance, but the
tenets of Knighthood were of the
charactor thot tho Sir Iyoiuhtc Of ia
day could perform this service to
mankind.
AT the conclusion of the services
the Sir knights returned to their
Asylum and were dismissed. Quite
a few Sir knights from the surround
ing towns and belonging to st. Ber-
nard Commandery were present at
the services.

which the tract is a part contains
19,000,0 900 feet of fir, 100000 of
spruce and 100000 of hemlock.
A Pacific county mill cut 100000
feet from a little less than two acres
The logs averaging from 1900 to
$4,000 feet each.
The prize winner, according to
Spokane millmen should be a log
sent from Puget Sound to San Fran
cisco. This was SO big that no mill
could saw it, the trimming having to
be done by hand with axes. The log
measured "a inches by ga inches and
was 104 feet long when hewn into
shape. The largest log ever cut in
any mill in Washington was 70
inches in diameter at the smaller
end.
The remarkable feat of erecting
a IA room house from the lumber of
a single yellow fir was recently ac-
complished at Elma. There was
nearly $4,000 feet of lumber in the
logs OF the tree. Six logs, 2S feet
in length, the largest seven feet in
diameter at the smallest end, we're
made from the fir. The measure
meht OF the stump inside the bark
was exactly nine feet. The trunk
was straight and for 100 feet not a
limb appeared. The total length OF
me tree was more than 800 feet.
The lumber was worth nearly $1,000.
The corporation owning this land
growing this tree has hundreds of
such hrs, many of them too big to
be handled by the equipment now
possessed by Washington sawmills.
Not far from Snoqualmie Falls a
giant tree was blown across a pre-
cipituous canyon a year ago. The
trunk forms a footbridge ten feet
wide. The log has been levelled and
teams are often driven across it by
venturesome drivers.
A mammoth cedar tree was blown
down near South Bend a few weeks
ago, 1T measured &C feet and 8 inches
around three feet above the bulge of
the root. The cedar was II feet in
diameter Is feet above the earth,
There is a cedar tree 10 feet in
diameter at South Bend. At Mon
tesano is another cedar 10 feet ,
Inches in diameter. On the Johns
River there are groves of cerars that
vary from 10 feet to "a feet through
and only a few are hollow.
There are also large trees in Yaki-
ma, Okanogan, Ferry, Asotin. Spo-
kane, Stevens, Whitman and other
eastern counties. The largest stand
of white pine left intact on this con-
tinent is partly in Whitman county
and extends into northern Idaho.
The largest fir trees on the east side
are in the Sullivan lake district in
Stevens county.

SOME TIMBER IS LEFT
Some Idea of the Amount OF Lumber
That Can Yet be Secured From
Washington Trees.

Spokane. Wash, April 12.-There
is enough timber standing in the state
of Washington TO build 100000
six-room houses, sufficient to shelter
one-third of the population of the
United States, or to furnish ties for
, i, S93,939 miles of railway track, or
construct a plank road three inches
thick and 500 feet wide twice around
the world. Cut into lumber these
trees would load 10000, 900 45-foot
! cars of 10000 feet capacity equal to
85,227 miles of trains. or one train
reaching three and one-half times
around the globe to the equator.
This timber is contained in areas
aggregating $4,000 square miles on
eastern and western sides of the Cas-
cade mountains, and expert cruisers
say that the density is not eQualed
anywhere on the American continent.
The hewing of a yellow fir log, 60
inches square and 80 feet in length at
Buckley recently excited considerable
comment, but the annals Of the lum-
Der industry in Washington contains
many more remarkable Incidents.
When President Taft was in the
Panama Canal zone recently his at
tention was called to several spud
sticks in the big dredges and he ask
ed where it was possible to obtain
such timbers. These sticks, each Sc
by 40 inches and more than 80 feet
in length. the superintendent told
him, were shipped from B%ellingham
last summer.
The recent challenge of Portland,
for the distinction of producing the
biggest timbers sawed in world has
been answered from many parts Of
Washington. Portland mills sawed
two sticks SO inches square and 60
feet in length. %Bellingham came back
with a sawed spud stick for a dredge
40 inches square and 92 feet in length
and boosted having furnished tim-
bers 1875 feet in length.

! county which is declared to be the
largest tree on the continent, exceed
ing in girth by three inches the larg-
est OF the trees OF the famous red
wood forest of California. This tree
measures 104 feet 4 inches in cir
cumferenece and it is more than $50
feet to the first limb, which is five
feet in diameter.
On the west slope of the Cascade
Mountains a giant red fir was recently
blown across the tracks of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. Traffic was
blocked by the monster log, which
measured eight feet in thickness.
There was no saw within miles that
was big enough to cut'th timber, and
as the railroad company could not
wait the five days required to saw
a section from the huge log, dynamite
was placed in deeply bored holes and
the aged tree blown to splinters. 1t
was easier to repair 10 rods of road
bed than to saw through eight feet
Of solid red fir.
In Clallam county. according to
official measurements. the timbered
area runs 100000 feet to the
square mile. The stand on smaller
areas is even more dense. One acre
recently showed 100000 feet of
!, standing timber.
A 40-acre tract in Clallam county
contains 100000 feet of timber.
There are 100000 feet of fir, $780,.
