CONSTANT PUBLICITY
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

Big advertisers. who ought to
know better have sometimes tried
to carry business along on the mo-
mentun Of their former efforts at
publicity, arguing that they have
established position where furth-
er advertising is unnecessary.
"The experiment never works, "
however" says writer in Fame.
You might as well try to live on the
dinners you have eaten and buy no
more food as to hope for success
from such makeshift.'
Business keeps on a full head oil
steam just so long as fuel is thrust
under the, boiler. The wheels ol
many an industry would slow dowr
and stopif it were not for the con
inuous application of the power o

al statistical report of the U. S.
geological survey on coal mining in
1908 shows that the total produc-
ton of coal IN Idaho last year was
5492 short tons, having spot Yal-
ue of $2l, 1892. There sevsral some
what restricted widely separated
areas in Idaho in which beds of sut7
bituminous coal and ignite occur,
and the coal mining industry has
been confined to comparatively
small operations for local consump-
tion The output IN 1908 was l6. 5
per cent less than in 1907 and the
value decreased $4662, or l7.6 pei
cent. Most of the mining in 1908,
as in the preceding years, was done
in the Salmon district in Lcnsh
county, although small oparatIonl

TO REFOREST
BURNED AREAS

An investigation as to the prac
ticability of reforestlng the great
areas of forest lands which have
been devastated by fire and which
are now lying barren and unproduc-
tive is now being carried on by the
U. S. Forest service in the Olympic
national forest in Washington.
In some regions second growth
of trees will come in naturally after
a burn in the course of few years
time, and where this happens artl-
felal means of securing reprodIc-
ton is not necessary. There are,
however, other burns where new
growth does not come in readily
due TO adverse climatic conditlons
absence of seed trees, or perhaps tt
the i'm mpoHerikhment of the soil b.

trees or sowing seed Is necessary to
restore the forest. The burn III the
Olympic forest is of this nature and
the forest service is planning to con-
duct a series of experiments to de-
termine the proper methods of re-
foresting the area. Douglas fir viii
be the species used.
This fall a large quantity of
Douglas fir seed will be collected
and quantity sown on each plot.
Next spring the experiments will b'
repeated and it Is expected that tn
results obtained will indicate wha
methods and what seasons of tb,
year are best adapted to the condl-
tions found on this burn. When
this is accomplished the forest serv
ice will be in a position to COM
mence the reforestration of the Sole
duck burn on a large scale and to
reseed large areas each year.
IL is believed also that the resnlts
obtained will be of value not only
in solving the problem of restock
