REFOREsTlN1 BURIED.

An INVESTIGATION as to the practi
cability OF reforesting the great areas
of forest lands which have been de.
vastated by fire and which are now
| lying barren and unproductive is now
| being carried on by the United States
| forest service In the Olympic nationa
| forest in Washington. The area Sc
lected for the experiments comprises
several thousand acres on the Sole
duck river and was at one time COW
cred with a magnificent forest OF
Douglas fir. 1t was first burned over
in 1890 and again in 1895 A third fire
over almost the same area occurred
in 1906, destroying the last remnant
of the original forest, leaving the en-
tire area treeless.
In some regions a second growth
OF trees will come in naturally after
burn in the course Of a few years
time, and where this happens arti-
fetal means Of securing reproduction
is not necessary. There are, however,
other burns where new burns do not
come in readily, due to adverse eli
matte conditions, absence of seed trees,
or perhaps to the impoverishment of
areas are often of very large extent,
and in such cases some means, such
as planting trees or sowing seed is
necessary to restore the forest. The
burn in the Olympic forest is of this
nature and the forest service is plan
ming to- conduct a series of expert
ments to determine the proper meth
DDS of reforestng the area. Douglas
fir will be the species used.
1t is believed that on the greater
part of the area simply scattering the
seed over the ground in the fall be-
fore the snow falls or In the early
spring will be sufficient to start new
growth, On other portions of the
area, however, Where a growth of
grass and weeds has covered the
ground it will probably be necessary
to work the seed into the soil by rak-
ing or dragging brush over the
ground In some localities sowing by
what is called the seed spot method,
in which several seeds are dropped
together in spots and covered with
soil will probably be successful. To
test these various methods five expert
mental plots have been selected. These
represent the various conditions found
on the burn, such as difference in
Slope. altitude, exposure and vegeta-
tion.
This fall large quantity of Doug
las fir seed will be collected and
quantity soWn on each plot. Next
spring the experiments will be re-
peated, and it is expected that the re-
suits obtained will indicate what
and What seasons of the
year are best adapted to the condi-
tlons found on this hurn. When this
is accomplished the forest service Will
be in a position to commence the re-
forestation of the Soleduck burn on
large scale and TO reseed large areas
each year
1t Is believed also that the results

tnat the desire to snap up property
for long terms, together with Its
rapidly increasing value, will soon re.
duce the average amount Of ground
per inhabitant to less than the space
necessary for standing room.
Although the fact is not generally
| known, the greatest matrimonial
agent in the country is no less per-
| sonage than Uncle Sam himself. Most
OF ms activities in this field are car
ried on through the immigration Off
Gals at Ellis island, where hundreds
Of marriages occur each year for
which the old gentleman is primarily
responsible. In the role Of chaperon
lie exercises careful supervision over
the morals of the thousands of unat-
TENDED young women who enter the
country from foreign lands every year.
Many of these women come here for
the purpose of marrying sweethearts
who have preceded them and if they
are without relatives or close friends
mere the federal authorities insist that
the ceremony take place at the i'm
migration station, or upon receiving
convincing assurances that it will be
held Immediately upon landing. Some
times an officer is sent along to see
to it that the wedding knot is tied
properly. Not only does the federal
government play the part of an Off
cial cupid, but it frequently lends it's
efforts in hunting UP prospective
brldegrooms who fail to appear on
schedule time, and this week it acted
Dcrat t,o, tn Ir;,,
to a young Russian who was return
ing to Europe because his Pannsyl-
Vanla sweetheart had refused to
marry him. At the last moment the
young woman reented ana teie-
graphed frantically to the authorities:
Tell oseDh to come back and | will
marry him." The message was duly
delivered just before the steamer
sailed, and Joseph sped down the gang
plank presumably bound for Pennsyl-
wanna and happiness.
While New York has stood for the
sheath gown, the peach basket hat
with real fruit and other
vagaries Of feminine apparel without
murmurs of protest arose
this week when the pantaloon gown
was exhibited here for the first time.
Most of these protests, it may be re-
corded, came from the feminine mem
bers Of the population, who asserted
that they would never, never make
spectacles of themselves by donning
this latest Partisan innovation. Ad-
vocates of the new regalia assert, |
however, that from the viewpoint of |
modesty it is far superior to the |
sheath costume, the principal object |
u which was apparently to reveal |
everything that It tried to conceal. |
The pantaloon gown is about what |
is name implies. From the front it |
what the fashion writer's |
night describe as a tsem- trouser eff |
'ect,' the skirt being divided to a |
ooint above the knees. From the rear
t looks like an ordinary gown with |
| train. The trousered portions fit
,bout the ankles in a manner that |
gives no excuse for the display of |
hosiery. and the costume is said to be
extremely comfortable for walking or
shopping, since 1T obviates the nece.s-
'ity of the wearer's holding up her
kirts. Certain jetmale critics have |
)een mean enough to assert that these
cry facts will prevent it's general
ldoption.
