TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
What Brighton Granse Really lid Decla

What Brighton Grange Really lid Declare.
In order to correct a misrepresen-
tation in an Olympia paper that was
boosting" the proposition for i'm
porting a carnival to carry off our
peoples spare coin, :hat a prolonged
observance of the natal holiday was
favored by the Patrons of Husband
ry, we publish in full the only "en-
dorsement that was accorded by
Brighton Park Grange No. 1863, P. of
H.
TUMwATER, Wash. May 81, 1910.
Ed. WASHINGTON STANDARD:
Dear Sir: On a separate sheet
you will find copy of a resolution
passed by Brighton Park Grange
No. 163 at its last regular meeting
held May 21st, 1910. A similar reso-
luton was passed by Chambers
Prairie Grange No. 1871, at their
regular meeting held on May 18th,
and was printed in the Morning
Olympian of May 2lst, believe.
But the resolution was not printed
correctly, as l was present at said
meeting, and sentiment of the men,
bers of the four different Oranges
was in favor of a one-day's celebra-
ton. The article which appeared in
the Oiympian seems to have led to
the erroneous belief that the Oranges
represented at said meeting were in
favor Of the three days celebration,
which is not the case.
ARTHUR G. WEST.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at the last regular meeting OF
Brighton Park Grange No. 1853, held
Saturday evening. May 2lst. 1910:
Whereas. 1t has been suggested
that three days celebration of July
4th, be held in the city of Olympia,
and that the several Oranges of the
county be invited to aid in making
the same grand celebration of Inde-
pendence day.
Therefore. Be it Resolved. by
Brighton Park Grange No. 1863,
That we do not favor three days
celebration of Independence Day, as
we do not see where any particular
benefit will be derived from the
same. But that we do favor a one
days celebration, and that on July
the Fourth, and that we will render
such aid as is possible to make The
same a grand success.
Signed.

SECURE DAMAGES
FOR FOREST FIRE
United States Wins Suit Against
South Dakota Railroad
for Timber Loss
PRECEDENT IS ESTABLISHED
Claim S12 an Acre Value of the
Young Trees Destroyed
in Black Hills
PRECEDENT is ESTABLISHED

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National forest brought
by the United States against the
Missouri River and Northwestern
railroad, the Jury has awarded dam
ages to the government not only for
the loss of merchantable timber but
also for the destruction of unmer-
chantable young growth.
This is regarded by government or
ficials as establishing very important
precedent. So far as is known at the
United States department OF agrlcul-
ture. it is the first time that any court
has recognized what foresters call the
expectation value" of young CROWN
as furnishing a basis for the award
of damages. The difficulty in the way
of such an award in the past has been
that there was no way to prove TO
the satisfaction OF the courts the
money value of the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence
as to the cost of work in reforesting
which the government is actually do
ing in the Black hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth burned
was $12 an acre, and the claim under
this item was allowed in full by the
Jury. The total amount of damages
claimed was $3,72S.S5, of which $2634.45
was for merchantable timber destroyed
or injured by the fire.
USE ''YIELD TABLES"
It is recognized by foresters that
the cost of artificial reforestation Will
not always furnish a fair basis for
estimating the damage to forest re-
production. Where new growth can
be expected by natural sowing from
seed trees on the ground within a
short time, artificial planting or SOW
ing is an unnecessarily expensive
method. To meet such cases what are
known as yield tables" are being
prepared. BY the use of these the
loss can be shown in terms Of the
final crop and the time necessary to
produce it.
Thus, If it is known that ten thou
sand feet of timber per acre can pc
cut in seventy years, 1t is easy to cal
Sculate the value of the crop when 1t
is ten years old by discounting from
its value when mature. In European
countries where forestry has been long
practiced this method is regularly ap-
piled in selling, condemning, or es-
timating damages on forest property.
II is also used abroad in insurance,
which would be impracticable If there
were not both an accepted basis for
determining the loss suffered and
reasonably accurate knowledge of the
hazard involved.

BETTER ROADS IN EUROPE

The nations Of Europe have gone a
long way ahead of the United States in
road work, particularly in the matter
of administration and road mainte-
nance, and experts say that for this
reason this country will benefit I'M
mensely in the advantage Of collabo-
ration made possible by membership IN
the international congress. France, for
isstance, with its almost perfect sys-
tenn of roads, sends one and one-thtrd
times as much freight over her public
highways as is carried by the railroads.
The freight traffic on the roads of other
European countries is almost as heavy.
In this country conditions are reversed,
and it is estimated that the railroads
carry nearly four times as much freight
as the public roads. Yet railroad de-
yelopment depends, engineers say, on
the good roads which open up and
make accessible the country adjacent TO
the lines
The department of agriculture now
has the petition under consideration,
and If approval is given congress will
be asked this coming winter for the
small appropriation necessary for this
country's membership dues. The sign
ers of the petition are: Elmer L. Cor
thell. delegate of the state of New
York: Howard Longstreth, delegate OF
the American Automobile association;
E. L. Powers, delegate of the American
Road Builders association; James Mac
Donald, delegate of the state or Con-
necticut; George F. Rodgers, delegate
of the state of Oregon; Clarence A.
Kenyon, delegate of Indianapolis, IND;
7. Fl, Cook, delegate of the Information
al League of Highway improvements
and A. II. Blanchard, delegate of the

MEMBERSHIP DUES

The highest annual dues paid by any
government now a member of the In
ternational Association of Road Con-
crosses is S3000 The dues of the or
ganization vary in accordance with the
ability of the governments to pay.
Membership in the association enti-
ties a government to be represented
on the international commission by one
member for each 5000 annual dues. This
commission controls all the activities
of the congress. The association has
an international laboratory of tests and
a library, and gathers, digests and dis
tributes information concerning the
porblems of modern highway engineer
ing. The American delegates to the
international congress at Brussels the
first week Of last August agreed that
1t would be highly desirable that this
government be represented on the in
ternational permanent commission
which advantage can only be secured
bv the United States becoming a mem
her of the international association.
They are stin hopeful that 1t Will pc
possible to bring the next international
congress to the United States, but this
cannot be done until the government
officially manifests an interest IN the
association and becomes a member. The
signers of the petition say that the
considerable influence that would come
from a direct connection with the work
of the commission would result not
only In the saving of time and expense
by the avoidance of the duplication of
tests in the future, but in the great ad-
vantage of collaboration with the road
builders and administrators of the 9TH
er twenty-six governments in the asso-
citation.
