land owners as well as the federal
government are much interested in OBJ
tanning this information. and the gov
eminent has just begun an investiga-
ton Of large number of fire areas in
Oregon and Washington in order to de-
termine, if possible the length of time
which will elapse after a forest fire
before the timber deteriorates to such
a condition as to decrease It's CONNER
cial value.
The agencies which cause timber to
decay and encourage the attack OF
wood borers are undoubtedly influenced
to greater or less degree by the in
tensity OF the original fire and the
climatic conditions and altitude OF the
burned areas
All the information in connection
with this investigation will be obtain
ed first hand by the forest service.
either from government timber land,
or from private holdings where log
ging operations are under way
In this connection the forest service
has also undertaken an investigation to
determine the relative strength Of
green and hre-killed timber The
material which is TO be tested is being
sawed at the mill Of the Eastern and
Western Lumber company Of Portland.

hibit at the A. Y T.. exposition.
The 6re-killed trees which are to
yield material for these tests were Sc
lected by representatives Of the forest
service on the holdings Of the Clarke
Comfy Timber company Of Portland
Oregon, near Yacolt Washington
This timber was burned over seven
years ago and represents fairly we'll,
the average OF burned timber found In
the Pacific Northwest The logs which
vary from three TO four feet in dia.

lengths These are being manufact ur.

The results Of these tests are being
anticipated with great interest by for

Once there was a ball player who was a
member Of a team that won the cham
pionsliip. He batted over 800 for the sea-
son. played a great game in the field. and
won many battles by his playing. AT the
end OF the series he went to his home and
remained quietly there until time to re-
port for the spring trip.
II is hard 70 believe. but ne did not do
any Of the following things Cand this is
what makes il a dream):
Announce he had retired and would
never again don spangles.
Ask for big raise in salary.
Go on the stage.
Get a job tending bar at about SO a
month and announce his prospects were
so good he would never again play.
Write a letter about whether his mana
ger was coming back and have II printed
in the papers OF the town in which ne
played.
Did not play handban for two hours
every day.
Did not coach a college team.
Did not ask permission TO cut out the
spring training trip.
Was not mentioned as a probable mana
ger
Did not get married
Did not ask for advance money.
Was not interviewed on the penuant
