TO CONSERVE THE SHOWS
IN WENAtiA FOREST RESERVE

Spokane, Wash, April 10.-To con-
serve the SHOWS of the Blue Noun
tains in the Wenaha Forest Reserve,
the Government Forestry Bureau is
planning to treat" thousands of acres
with shrubbery and trees this sum-
mer and develop dormant springs.
According to an announcement that
has just been made public, camps are
already being established where forces
of government rangers and assistants
will be quartered this summer to do
the work. More water has been stead
lily demanded by irrigation of lands
in the valleys through which the
Walla Walla river, Mill creek, Touchet
river and other streams flow and petit
lions sent to the government have been
promptly noticed and complied with.
This will give double the water sup
ply during the summer, it is believed,
when the treatment Of the mountain
forests and watersheds is completed.
The SHOWS Of the winter, instead OF
melting with rush in early spring,
will be protected during that period
and the water saved until midsummer,
when it is really needed. Residents
in the mountains will cooperate with
the government in this work.

70 ERECT MONUMENT ON
I SITE OF OLD SPOKANE HOUSE

spokane. Wash. April 10.--John
Jacob Astor III has been invited to
unvel q monument to be erected at
the site Of the Spokane house, built
Dy the Astdr Fur Company. Of which
John Jacob Aston / was the head, in
the fall Of 1911.
Professor w. H. Gilstrap Of Ia
coma, secretary of the washington
state Historical Society. was in Spo-
Kane few days ago arranging the
details OF the monument. F. NJ. Hos
kins OF Walla Walla, present owner Of
the property, has consented to dedi-
cate suitable piece Of ground to the
state as q site.
Spokane house was built in the fall
OF 1911 and for nearly 20 years it re-
NAMED one Of the most important
posts OF the company, when later it
was taken over by the Hudson Bay
Company. The house was destroyed
by fire several years ago and all that
remains today is q small log cabin
and the rifle pits.
The erection Of this house on the
Little Spokane river represents the
first settlement Of the white man in
this portion of what was then, the Ore
gon territory. The Northwest Com
pany of Canada established q post at
about the same time In 1911, but its
post soon gave way before the Aston
Company. Many travellers and explor-
ers of note of the early West were
entertained at what was then known
as Spokane house.
November 10, 1919, the first white
child in this section was born at the
post. The post was kept up and known
as the Spokane house in 1850, Gov.
Stevens mentioning it in recounting
the expedition into the then wild west.
The monument has not been select
ed, but will be of granite and prob
ably in some form symbolical Of the
fur trade which led to the erection OF
the post and the early opening of this
section of the United States to settle.
