Oroiino-H Henry II. Farquhar. chief
Of the planting department of the for
estry service, Is visiting Charles Fish
err. superintendent Of the Clearwater
forestry district. Mr.. Farquhar said /:
1.-THE forestry service is undertake
ing reforestation Of the large, denud-
ed areas throughout district No. on
large scale. Two methods of re-
forestation are used. the first beng d.
rect seeding. which is simply sowing
the seed OF forest trees on the ground,
and the second is by planting small
seedlings raised In the forest service
nurseries.
"Besides several small nurseries in
the district there are two large ones
which supply by far the larger part of
seedlings used in our work. One of
these is the Boulder nursery on the
Helena national forest, near Boulder,
Mont, which has an annual output of
about 5000, 900 plants, and the other
Is the Savenac nursery on the Lolo ma
tional forest, near Hangar, Mont,
which has an annual output of about
4, 900. 900 plants.
"Our direct seeding for this fall is
being largely concentrated in two
projects. The larger of these is the
direct seeding by the corn planter
method of over $500 acres on the Pend
Oreille national forest in Northern
Idaho. the tract lying south of Cab
met, Idaho. This acreage is in one
large tract. and was all burned over
In the 1910 fires. Work there com
menced the first of the week, and
many men are employed. Ranger
Van Dyk is in direct charge of the
work.
"The other large job is the seeding
Of somewhat over 1000 acres on Lost
creek. of the Occur d'Alene national
forest. near Prichard, Idaho. Forest
Assistant Morris. of the Occur
d'Alene forest. has direct charge of
this job. Both of these areas are be-
ing planted TO western white pine
seed. which was collected on the Kan
iksu forest in Northern Idaho last
fall. The ordinary farmers corn
planters are being used. seed spots be-
ing made every eight feet in both d.
rections.
almost ever forest in the district
is doing a small amount of planting
with the nursery seedlings. How
ever. the larger projects are being
carried on on the Bitter Root and
Lolo forests in Western Montana. In
all total Of l.76l. 600 seedlings will
be planted which. at the spacing of
SKIS feet, which We use. will cover an
area Of approximately 2600 acres.
by the figures above il will be
seen that this fall we are planting and
direct seeding a total Of over 10000
acres. This work will all be COM
pleted within the next month or month
and half"

COMPANY IN QUAnDARY.
Wells-Fargo Liable to Arrest What
ever II Does.

ever VI Dotts
San Francisco-W Wells Fargo & Com
pany has appealed to the railroad
commission for relief from a situation
which it regards as serious. The
company ascribes its present dilemma
to the liquor situation in Los Gatos.
The town of Los Gatos is dry and le-
gally is "no-license" territory under
the Wylie local option law. The trus-
tees Of Los Gatos have threatened the
arrest of the Wells-Fargo officials if
they carry liquor into the city and the
Wells-Fargo men contend that if they
refuse to deliver packages in the city,
they are equally liable to arrest.
Here's the way the company puts
its application to the railroad com
mission:
"ln view of the situation, your pc
titioner, as common carrier, is liza
BILE to suits for refusal to accept pack
ages addressed to persons in Los
Gatos, to be carried and delivered to
said person, and on the other hand, If
this company accepts and delivers the
same, which it is bound to do as a
common carrier. the agent of Wells
Fargo in Los Gatos is liable to be
prosecuted criminslly for making such
delivery. The packages are subject
to the risk of seizure and destruction
by the public officials of Los Gatos.
1.-THE service by common carriers to
the public is likely to be seriously dis
turbed and Interrupted and your hon
orable commission is respectfully re-
quested and urged to investigate this
case and determine the duties and OBJ
legations of the petitioner as a public
utility under the laws of the state"
