State Forester Has New Plan

State Forester E. w. Ferris has an
nounced a proposal for the state to en-
gage in the reforesting of all such cut
over tracts as are unsuitable for agricul-
ture or grazing. By reforesting Mr.
Ferris believes that half century from
now, when the present stand of timber
is all cut, Washington will still be in
the front ranks Of the lumber industry
To further this plan Mr.. Ferris pro-
poses that when the state has rough
timber land ready for sale in the future
and the land is unfit for agriculture or
grazing, only the timber be sold and
the land retained for reforesting.
The forester would go farther than
this, however, and he advocates the Sc
curing by the state of worthless tracts
OF land in private ownership, pointing
out that a private owner cannot afford
to pay taxes on land for so or 90 years
while a new crop OF timber is growing,
while the state can hold it without
paying taxes, and have new stand of
timber ready for the next generation.

CELEBRATE FLOODING
OF PANAMA CANAL
All Coast Cities Will Make DemOnStra-
ton on October 10

Navigation through the Panama
Canal will be initiated on October 10,
when the dyke that holds water from
the Culebra cut will be blown out.
Immediately thereafter the Fran"
famous exploring vessel used by Nan
sen in his Northern expedition and by
Amundsen in his discovery Of the
South Pole, will proceed from Colon
to Panama for the initial voyage from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
Fran" is made OF Pacific Coast fir
grown on Puget Sound.
BY way of signalling this most i'm
portant event in the history of the Pa
cifc Coast, the cities Of the coast are
uniting in a demonstration that will
make continuous noise from Canada
to Mexico at the instant the dyke is
removed.
Through the courtesy of the Asso-
ciated Press, or other agency, it will be
possible to obtain simultaneous news
Of the blowing of the dyke. In Sc
attic the whistles OF factories and steam
ers will blow, the flags on buildings
will raise, the traction company will be
asked to stop street cars and ring the
bells for a number of seconds, the forts
and navy ships on Puget Sound will be
requested to fire their guns.
All coast cities are relied upon to
join in making the demonstration mem
orable and worthy of the occasion.

principal cities of the coast. How the
canal will affect existing ocean routes
or create new ones, what markets will
it bring together. its effect on ex-
ports and imports, how must railway
rates be adjusted TO assure ready dis
tribution into the interior, how can the
canal be made to extend coast trade,
its effect on immigration and other
kindred subjects will be discussed.
Many men of large affairs have al
ready pledged attendance at the COM

A big shakeup in the U. S. Meat
Inspectorship service in Seattle is
likely to occur as the result of the re-
markable actions of U. S. inspectors
going into court during the past
week and arraying themselves against
the state food inspector in his fight
against local packers who are sell
ing impure meats to the people.
State Food Inspector Will H. Adams
and his deputies succeeded recently in
bringing to the bar of justice several
Seattle dealers who had sold rotten
canned meat to customers. During
the trial U. S. inspectors took the wit
ness stand in favor of the defendants,
although the evidence plainly showed
that the latter were guilty. The court
so found them and they we're fined
$4,000, the maximum sentence. DR..
Madsen is the head of the u. S. Blu
reau of Animal Industry in this city.
The work of him and his deputies has,
it is alleged, been very much below
par and steps will be taken at once to
call the attention of Washington city
authorities to the unusual conduct in
trying to save those grossly guilty of
violating the law.

levy for 1918 would be S.81 mills, the
highest in its history and exceeding
that of last year by 80 mills. In
other words, the people of Washington
will this year have to pay $8,937,525
to supply the general needs of the
state, schools, highway and other de-

crease in the general fund levy, the
revenue that will be produced will fall
