the labor and lumber bills. a con-
ference was held in the office of the
state auditor Friday and it was finally
decided to allow Mr.. Murdoch for the
actual running expenses of the fishery
that is he was to draw on the gov
errors contingent fund for enough
money to keep the ''fishin' holes" from
running down.
But Uncle Bent will not receive his
salary until the next session of the
egislature-think of a man waiting two
years for his salary-and some people
howl when they have to wait until Sat
urday night Some OF the pipes have
been leaking there has been lots of
labor on tap and the ills have drained

But Bent made the one mistake OF
his life. He came back to Topeka look
ing better than he has looked in years
Fun OF color and youth-he talked
about the habits. movements, bed and
board of every fish in every pond and
he sat by the hour relating how some
little rninnow would try to swallow a
about his fish and game farm that for
a whole day he forgot his mission and
talked about his pets
With such a live wire sparkling
around the state house the officials
failed to arouse the proper amount of
sympathy and with wrinkled eye brows
the quoted the law-the cold cold law
to this big hearted game warden.
However. Uncle Bent viii be as
happy as a lark as long as he is able
to feed the fish just what they want
and repairs the tanks and pools. They
saw down at the fishery that the very
fish themselves know Bent and jump
out of the water when his good natured
form throws a shadow across the quiet

Uncle" Bent Murdoch came to To-

Realizing that the Exposition is an

has just applied for ground space, in
forming the management that $40, 600

Director General Nadeau wired back
to Governor Hadley that it was too
late to start any more buildings. Then
word came that Missouri must get in
on the big show and arrangements
were made for space in the Agricul-
tural Building. This is probably the
first time in the history OF expositions
that there has been such an experience
after the gates have opened.

One of the most notable commercial

done in this part of the country. While
in Seattle, these visitors were guests OF

opportunity to observe to their hearts
content. All were astonished and

RFFORESTATION BY GOVERNMENT
Experimenting in the Olympic Reserve
With View of Reforesting All
Denuded Districts

An investigation as to the practica
bility of reforesting the great areas
forest lands which have been devastated
by fire and which are now lying bareI
and unproductive is now being carried
on by the United States Forest Service
in the Olympic National Forest il
Washington. The area selected TO
the experiments comprises severa
thousand acres on the Soleduck river
and was at one time covered with ;
magnificent forest of Douglas fir. L
was first burned over in 1890 anC
again in 1895. A third fire over almos
the same area occurred in 1906, destroy
ing the last remnant of the origina
forest, leaving the entire area treeless
In some regions a second growth o.
trees will come in naturally after q
burn, in the course Of few years time,
and where this happens artificial means
Of securing reproduction is not neces-
sary. There are, however, other burns,
where new growth does not come in
readily, due to adverse climatic con-
ditions, absence of seed trees, or per
haps to the impoverishment OF the soil
by repeated fires. These 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 planning to con-
duct a series OF experiments to deter
mine the proper methods of reforesting
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 before
the snow falls or in the early spring
will be sufficient to start a new growth.
On other portions OF the area, however,
where a growth Of grass and weeds has
covered the the ground, it will prob
ably be necessary to work the seed
into the soil by raking 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 experimental plots have
been selected. These represent the
various conditions found on the burn,
such as difference in slope, altitude,
exposure and vegetation.
This fall a large quantity of Douglas
fir seed will be collected and a guam
tity sown on each plot. Next spring
the experiments will be repeated and
it is expected that the results obtained
will indicate what methods and what
seasons of the year are best adapted to
the conditions found on this burn.
When this is accomplished the Forest
Service will be in a position to COM
mence the reforestation of the Soleduck
burn on large scale and to reseed
large areas each year.
1t is believed also that the results
obtained will be of value not only in
solving the problem of restocking the
burn in the Olympic National Forest,
but that much will be learned concern
ing the best methods of reforesting
denuded areas on other Forests thru
out the Pacific northwest, where con-
ditions are similar, and that thus the
work may be largely extended.
