HUDGINS SECURES
VINDICATION

Mr.. and Mrs. d. f. Hudgins return
ed from California on No. 6 yesterday
afternoon. 1t will be remembered that
some two weeks ago they were arrest
ed here, upon telegraphic advices from
Tuolumne county, California, charged
with horsestealing, and were taken
back last week by an officer from
Sonoma.
The complaint upon which Mr.. and
Mrs. Hudgins were arrested was sworn
out by man named Moss, administrat
or of an estate which owned an un,
divided half of the ranch which Mr..
Hudgins worked, he owning the other
half. When they concluded to take
their overland trip, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hudgins took a packhorse belonging to
the ranch, and for this they were ar
rested. At the preliminary examina-
tion Moss was the only witness exam
ined, and at the conclusion of his tes-
timony the couple were discharged, the
court taking occasion to severely cen
sure the complainant for putting the
county to an unwarranted expense.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hudgins have placed
their case In the hands of an attorney,
and unless settlement IL made suit
will be instituted against Moss for
heavy damages.

VALUE OF SCORCn.
ED TIMBER
Especial to Silver State News.)

WASHINGTON, July 17..-How
long will timber remain commercially
valuable after it has been swept over
by forest fre7 Timber land owners
as well as the federal government are
much interested in obtaining this in
formation, and the government has
just begun an investigation of large
number of fire areas in Oregon and
Washington in order to determine il
possible, the length Of time which viii
elapse after forest fire before the
timber deteriorates to such a condition
as to decrease it's commercial value.
The agencies which cause timber to
decay and encourage attack of wood
borers are undoubtedly influenced to .
greater or less degree by the intensity
of the original fire and the climatic
conditions and altitude Of the burned
areas.
All the information in connection
with this investigation will be obtained
first hand by the forest service, either
from government timber land, OF from
private holdings where logging opera
tlons are under way.
In this connection the forest service
has also undertaken an investigation
to determine the relative strength Of
green and fire killed timber. The ma
terial which is to be tested il being
sawed at the mill of the Eastern and
Western Lumber company Of Portland,
Oregon, where it win be surfaced to
exact sizes and then transported to Se-
attic, where tests will be made in con-
nection with the forest service exhibit
at the A. Y. P. exposition.
The fire killed trees which are to
yield material for these tests were se-
lected by representatives Of the forest
service on the holdings of the Clarke
County Timber company, of Portland,
Oregon, near Yacolt, Washington. This
timber was burned over seven years
ago and represents fairly well, the
average of burned timber found in the
Pacific northwest. The logs which vary
from three to four feet in diameter,
were sawed into thirty-two foot
lengths. These are being manufactured
into sixteen foot floor joinst and
bridge stringers.
The results of these tests are being
anticipated with great interest by for
est service engineers and by the lum-
bermen of the northwest, because they
are expected to disapprove the opinion
generally held regarding the strength
of fire killed timber.

TOLL ROAD SET ON
FIRE BY AUTOMOBILE

Tuesday afternoon the toll road be-
tween Winnemucca and Paradise
caught fire, presumably from passing
automobile, and burned for twenty
four hours before the blaze was ex-
tinuished. By hard work the fire was
confined to strip about fifty yards
long, but at this point the brush was
very deep and it burned to the ground.
The damage is being repaired and it is
thought that within week at the
most the road will again be in good
condition.

THE DINING ROOM
OF A BIG CIRCUS


The discipline of an army reigns
supreme in circus life, and it is always
interesting to watch how the thousand
or more people of such an organization
are fed three meals a day without a
hitch, and as silently as in big hotel.
The grass serves as a carpet, and the
40 or more walters move quietly in and
out. The kitchen tent is completely
equipped with pastry ovens, warming
tables, steam vats for stewing, steam
urns for coffee and tea, boiling ovens,
and numberless other utensils. The
force of cooks numbers Is, including
the three which tend the camp fire, at
which nothing but soup is prepared.
The ranges fold up and are carried in
wagons, and the tents are lighted with
electricity at night. 1t is not unusual
to serve as many as 5000 pancakes for
breakfast, and 900 loaves of bread are
used each day, in addition to crackers
and biscuit. The meat consumed each
day is somewhere near 1000 pounds.
Such provisions as celery, young
onions, strawberries ,radishes, melons,
etc, are bought in each town, often
cleaning out the entire market. An
advance agent of the commissary de-
partment keeps well in advance of the
show, contracting for its supplies, for
man and beast. Popular Mechanics for
August contains a picture of the din
ing tent at noon-time.

Advertising That Pays.

The following from the Libby News
is q suggestion that should appeal to
residents Of every town as one that
is worthy Of adoption:
Whether due to the formatio of the
Boosters and Civic club or not there
has been q wonderful change made in
the appearance Of Libby the past few
weeks. New sidewalks are being laid,
streets and alleys are being cleaned
and In many other ways there has
been q noticeable Improvement IN the
general appearance Of the place.
There is 20 other thing which will
attract attention to q place like a dis
position on the part Of the people to
keep their town clean. Cleanliness
is next to Goodness, and 10 q eoodly
virtue. Like an individual. a com.
munity will be very largely judged BY
ito appearance, and with people con.
stantly looking the country over for
places to locate, 1t is safe to assume
that those who are disposed to be
clean will In q very large measure
locate among those of . similar bent.
Let the good work 20 on. Let
everyone fall into line and follow the
splendid example which has beer
given by 90 many the past week or 80,
and it will not take long to make Lib
