When the land had been bought the
question arose as to the best means OF
laying out roadway UP the steep and

puzzled. He wanted to make 1t as easy

FOREST SERVICE

DENUDED TIMBER AREAS.
Bitter Root and Lolo Forests
in Western Montana Scenes
of Mammotb Projects.

Henry Farquhar. chief Of the plant
ing depai tment of the forestry sery ioe.
in speaking of the large scale on
which be is working to reforest the
Idaho devastated lands. says:
''The forest service is undertaking
reforestatioD of the large, 6enuded
areas throughout district on a. large
scale. Two methods of reforestation
are used, the first being direct seeding,
which is simply sowing the seed of
forest trees on the ground, and the seq
ond is by planting small seedlings
raised in the forest service nurseries.
''Besides several small nurseries in
the district there are two largo 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 100000 plants, and the other
Is the Savenac nursery on the Lolo
national forest, near Haugan, Mont.
which has an annual output of about
1900, 900 plants.
"Our direct seeding for this fall is
being largely concentrated in two pro-
jects. The larger Of these is the d.
reot seeding by the corn planter meth
cd of over 4500 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 ell burned over

the larger projects are icing carried
on on the Bitter Root and Lolo for

total of 1.761. 200 seedlings will be
planted which. at the spacing of Sx8
feet which we use, will cover an area
of approximately 5000 acres.
"By the atove figures it will be seen
that this fall we are planting and di-
rect seeding total OF over 10000
acres. This work will all be complet.
ed within the next month and half.
"Last fiscal year, or, in other words,
including the work during the fall OF

The Way NV" Came to Take the Place

The printers and language makers OF
the latter part Of the sixteenth CEN
tury began to recognize the fact that
there was n sound in spoken English
which was without a representative In
the shape of an alphabetical sign or
character, as In the first sound In the
word "wet."
Prior to that time it had always been
spelled as "vet," the v having the long
sound of u or of two us together. In
order to convey an idea Of the new
sound they began to spell such words
as "wet," weather" "web," ETC., with
two us, and as the u Of that date was
a typical the three words above look
ed like this: "Vvet," weather
"vveb."
After awhile the typefounders recog.
nized the fact that the double u had
come to stay. so they Joined the two us
together and made the character now
so well known as W. There are books
in which three forms of the W are Civ.

the next Is one in which the last stroke
Of the first crosses the first stroke Of
