FOREST NOTES.
Furnished by the United States For
est Service.

Washington stands first in lumber
production, with Louisiana second.
1t is said that 90,000.000 broom
handles are used annually in the
United States-one for each man,
woman and child.
The lands burned over during the
terrible fires on the Idaho national
forests in 1910 are now largely COW
cred with a thick growth of young
tree seedlings, by natural reseeding.
Manufacturers of artificial limbs
are seeking substitutes for English
willow, used because of it's combined
hghtness and strength. 1t is claimed
that the Port Oxford cedar of the
Pacific coast will prove equally SER
viceable.
In the open yellow pine forests of
Washington and Oregon collapsible
plow is being used in digging fire
lines to stopSsurface fires. The plow
can be dismantled and folded into a
compact form, so that it can be
packed on horseback, and weighs
only 40 pounds. When in use. one
man with horse can do the work
of 20 or more men working with
shovels.

Nome Destroyed
BY Terrible Storm

Nome, Alaska, Oct. 9.-Nome has
been almost destroyed by a storm.
All the south side of Front street is
gone.
The sand pit is gone.
Two miles of territory next to the
sea was devastated.
No lives were lost:
The storm ragged all Sunday night,
beating it from Bering sea, and was
the worst ever known here.
Men and women worked all night
in the icy water to save their goods
and household effects. The electric
light was put out of service early in
the storm. The telephone service
also was cut off.
The loss is estimated at s1,500,-
900.
There will be much suffering, and
outside help will be required. Win
ter is at hand, and it will be impossi-
BILE to get in supplies needed.
The steamships Victoria and Cor
min, which were lying in the road
stead, ran to the open sea and es-

Appreciation.

always look forward to the COM
ing of your paper with much antici-
patton as to what good thing the
Home Circle will have for us this
week, and am never disappointed.
You seem to have an inexhaustible
supply of wholesome truth for all in
the home-old and young. Every
phase in life receives its illumination
from your pen, and somehow life
seems bit brighter, the atmosphere
purer and hope stronger after alb
sorbing the thoughts you present,
and in appreciation of all this and
many other excellent features I write

THE BALKAN SACRIFICE.

. Lieutenant-Gene Nelson A. Miles,
returning from abroad, declares that
the losses in killed and wounded in
the Balkan-Turkish war were un-
precedented.
"The Montenegrin army lost rs
per cent of the men engaged said
the general, while the Bulgarian
army lost $4,000 men. This has
been one of the most desperate and
destructive wars of modern times.
The whole country is devastated;
every home and harvest field was
burned or destroyed. l saw more
than 10000 refugees who have fled
from the invader In one group of
these, 25 babies died in a single
night from exposure and starvation.
Many of the wounded soldiers have
no homes and their families who are
alive are wandering half starved
among the refugees. At the capital
of Bulgaria the railroad officials re-
ported $4,000 disabled men had been
received. Field hospitals are over
crowded with wounded and in one
field found four thousand wounded
men without shelter from the sun or
rain. High officials report that over
100000 were killed in the Bulgarian
army and an equal number of casual
ties probably occurred in the oppos-
ing army.
1T is not necessary here to say
who was responsible for this war"
continued the general, "but those
who are responsible for wars and
railroad disasters are not the ones to
suffer-" he added. General Miles has
Joined his appeal to that of the Red
Cross for funds.

PLAY BALL!
(By Paul West.)

(By Paul West.)
This worlds a diamond, with the
bases laid,
And on it Life's great game of ball
is played.
The teams are Human Beings versus
Fate,
And Times the umpire, watching by
the plate.
We're at the bat. Our purpose DER
and DER
To WELD Ambitions club and try to
score;
To try to solve the curves the pitcher
throws,
And lam the sphere where not a
fielder goes.
Some of us seem to bat with skill
immense,
Knocking long homers DER the deep
field fence.
Others bunt infield hits, but wildly
race,
And beat the ball down to the primal
base.
Still others, though they strive their
best, no doubt,
Fan wildly at the air, and then
strike out;
Then seek the bench, downcast, with
ViSaPe drawn
Crestfallen, shamefaced, blue, ambi-
tion gone!
Or rag the umpire, growing like a
bear:
You robber! That decision wasn't
fair!"
That's not the game! Be not a
crouch or gutter!
What though you're not a straight
800 hitter?
You've got another chance. Stand to
the plate,
Grab tight your bat, get braced and
calmly wait!
Wait for a good one. Let the others
rip,
And when it comes-now! Lam it
hard! and zip!
It's got to go! And so must you. old
man!
Hike for the base. Keep going-yes,
you can!
Steal second! Good! Now, easy
not too gay!
There! Get lead! Don't lose that
dandy stride!
You've got to beat the throw-in!
Slide, now! Slide!
Hurrah! You did it! Score? OF
course you scored!
See-there's your tally marked up on
the board!
And now you'll win the game-no
doubt at all!
You just can't lose, old man, if you'll

Finally, and for the first time, we
are informed, in the history of the
state, Portland has presented mat
ter of equal Importance to the Rogue
River Valley and the upstate section.
Mr.. Richardson is in the valley, rep
resenting the Oregon Development
League, organizing for a comprehen-
sive campaign for tourist traffic dur
ing the Panama exposition. There
is a likelihood that on account of a
favorable differential on tourist tick
cts large numbers of the Panama
tourists may buy their tickets
through to California from eastern
points, leaving the northwest states
out of their itinerary. 1t will be the
business of the new organization to
lay plan to overcome this probability.
AS all tourists en- route from the east
to the fair, or returning, will pass
through both Ashland and Portland
IL lHcy Couie tHe HUI lIneIH lOule, IHe
benefit seems mutual. Mr.. Richard
son makes the point of Ashlands S
strategic position as the gateway to
California and proposes that a dis
play be made at the Ashland depot
by Rogue river and Klamath county
points. The plan looks all right.
1t dovetails in well with the efforts
and attractions that Ashland will pre-
sent in the near future to lure tour
ist traffic here for the summer sea-
son. Everyone in Ashland should
become interested in this work.

OUR MILLIONS OF UNwEDs.

Why, asks writer, are seven and
a quarter million American men be-
tween the ages of 20 and "A, and
5000, 900 American women above the
age of Is, or say 100000 between
30 and "A, unmarried?
Figures show that between 20 and
SO years old the unmarried man,
roughly, stands two chances of dying
to the married mans one chance
probably due to the latter's greater
regularity of habit and to wife's
mothering care.
Figures also show that, in spite
of the perils of childbirth, wives be-
tween 80 and so have third better
chance for life than women unwed
1t can't be that it's to save their
lives that this great army of folk:
staggers along in single blessedness
Is it to save their money?
Or is it that, in the midst of plen'
~. there are millions who feel tha'
they can't afford the responsibilities
of home and children?
The question is pertinent one
very. And we'll worth thinking
about.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia, use cough
medicines that contain codine, NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have a cough or cold. An
expectorant like Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs OF
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is used. 1t has a
worldwide reputation for its cures.
1t contains no morphine or other
sedative. For sale by all dealers.

What Is Home?

Ask the above question of any per-
son you chance to meet, who has
wandered from home, and in nine
cases out of ten the answer will be
that home is a green spot in memory,
a center about which the grandest
recollections of his grief-oppressed
heart cling with all tenderness of
youths first love. Home has an in
fluence which is stronger than death.
1t is law to our hearts and binds us
with spell which neither time nor
change can break. Not merely
friends and kindred render that home
SO dear, but the very hills and
streams throw a charm around the
place of ones nativity. it is no won
der the grandest harps are tuned to
sing of Home, Sweet Home" No
songs are sweeter than those heard
among the boughs that shade our
parents dwelling, when some even
ing hour found us gay as the birds
that warbled o'er us. We may wan
der away and mingle with the world s
strife, form new associates and fancy
we have forgotten the land of our
birth; but as we listen perhaps to
the summer wind, the remembrances
of other days come over the soul and
fancy bears us back to the childhood
days and home. We may find climes
as beautiful and friends as dear, but
they will not usurp the place of
Home, Sweet Home"

The Man Who Brought Alfalfa From
Siberia

In 1897 James Wilson, then sec
retary of agriculture, who had
known Professor Hansen at Ames,
called upon him to go to Russia and
Asia as the nations first plant ex-
plorer. He was to get drought-re-
sistant and cold-resistant plants of
commercial value to supplement
those of the northwest or other
parts of the United States.
Having crossed through northern
Europe, and made his way eastward
and then southwestward across Rus
sia again, the professor turned
southward through Transcaucasia,
and then sailed over the Caspian Sea
to the realms of the Turkoman.
Here he came face to face with the
problem in the discovery of a hardy
alfalfa.
1t was almost like discovering a
new continent. Here was an alfalfa
that nature, doubtless through thou
sands of years, had Injured to
drought and cold. 1t held hardness.
Hardness had been worked into
it by natures slow processes as the
plant had travelled with infinite pains
from the southwark; perhaps in Per-
sia, where as the common alfalfas of
the United States had travelled an
other way. These were taken from
Persia to Greece in the fifth century
B. C. Thence they we're carried to
Italy and Spain, and after that to
South America, long after which they
were brought to the southwestern
states. They had never had an op-
portunity to spread northward
through long centuries of time, be-
coming hardy by infinitely slow de-
grees, as had those of the part OF
Asia where Professor Hansen had
just made his discovery. With the
discoverer's philosophy of plant
hardness, however, the hardness OF
these new alfalfas could be trans
ferred to other alfalfas, and a va
riety both luxuriant and hardy could
be invented. That is, If this newly
discovered alfalfa would not itself
do as a successful forage in the mid
die west of the United States.
But the thing to do. was to follow
this new plant northward. and find
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-10-09

out the home of the hardest Of the
hardy. With this in mind he set out.
He followed the trail across deserts,
among wild and forbidding noun
tains, along routes infested by ban
dts, tracing it by caravan for 1900
miles to latitude about level with
st. Paul-45 degrees north-in the
very heart Of Asia. The tale as he
tells it is one that stirs the blood.
Along the difficult way he inter-
viewed natives, soldiers, and the
horses in the markets. He and his
company gathered seed by hand out
on the steppes. Then winter over
took him a little to the northwest
ward of the Chinese frontier, and,
-risking his life by exposure, he made
a 70O-mile dash northward to- Omsk
on the Trans-Siberian railway,
whence he started westward with his
precious freight of seeds.-From
Hansen, Americas First Plant Ex-
plorer," by William F. Kirkwood, in
the American Review of Reviews for
October.

METAL PRODUCTION IN 1912.
Increased Mine Production Shown in
All Metals in Oregon.

The value of the mine output of
gold, silver, copper and lead in Ore
gon in 1912. according to Charles G.
Yale of the United States Geological
Survey, was $S49,SS6, against $685.
O16 in 1911. The total yield of gold
was $770,041, an increase of $780,
634 over the 1911 production. OF
the gold output, $5S0,945 came from
placers. There was an increase in
production from hydraulic mining of
$SS,131, but there was a small de-
crease in the yield from drift and
surface mines. About so per cent of
the placer gold recovered came from
mines in Josephine and Jackson
counties. The gold recovered from
deep mines amounted to 2S,103.21
fine ounces, valued at $5SO,945, of
which 27,277.97 ounces was derived
from siliceous ores, 616.4O ounces
from copper ore, and 20S.S4 ounces
from lead ores.
The southwestern counties of Ore
gon (Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson,
Josephine and Lane), which form an
extension of the California gold belt,
made a combined production of
$217,565 in gold and of $10,343 in
silver. Northeastern Oregon, COM
prising Baker, Crook, Grant, Malheur
and Wheeler counties, reported
gold production of $552,476, of
which Baker county contributed
$4S4,041, or S7.6 per cent.
The silver production of Oregon
was 57,OS1 fine ounces, valued at
$35, 5,105, compared with 1921
ounces, valued at $23,967, in 1911.
Of the 1912 production, 1,941 ounces
came from placers, 44,O18 ounces
from Siliceous ores, 1885 ounces
from copper ores, and 567 ounces
from lead ores.
The copper production increased in
Oregon from 93,136 pounds, valued
at $11,642, in 1911, to 26O,429
pounds, valued at $42,971, in 1912.
All the copper except 6,049 pounds
was derived from ores mined in Jose
phine county.
The production of lead in Oregon
in 1912 was 39,917 pounds, valued
at $1,769. The output came from
small quantity of lead ore mined in
Jackson county and from concen-
trates shipped from Lane county.
There were 210 producers Of gold,
silver, copper or lead in 1912, COM
pared with 176 in 1911. OF the 210
producers, Sd were deep mines and
165 were placers. OF the placers,
1O2 were hydraulic mines, eight drift
mines and 46 surface or sluicing
mines There was no recovery of
gold by dredging reported in 1912.
The total quantity of ore sold or
treated in 1912 amounted to 90,94o
tons, which was 1913 tons less than
in 1911. The average recovery from
siliceous ores in gold and silver in
creased from $500 in 1911 to 1854
in 1912. The recovery of gold and
silver from copper ores increased
from 1882 to $4.21 ton. Though
the ore sold or treated in 1912 was
less than in 1911, the value of the
gold recovered from deep mines was
$115,812 greater than in 1911 and
the average recovery in gold and sill
yer in all classes of ore increased
from $4.96 ton in 1911 to $6.76 a
