But more vivid than any fash or ora
tory, display of fireworks or patriotic
parade is visit to that section OF
the National museum at Washington,
D, c.. where are preserved many not
abel relics Of the War Of 1776.
People leading nomadic lives Of to-
day can scarcely realize that delicate
garments and costly laces OF that
period of 1877 years ago have been
kept through so many lifetimes with
out damage or destruction. Yet no
room for doubt is left by the authen-
tic documentary evidence accompany
ing these precious souvenirs Of that
colonial struggle.
Not only is the uniform Of Gen.
George Washington to be seen hang
ing there in a glass case, but nearby,
in a similar enclosure, is the hand
embroidered robe the Father Of His
Country wore when being chirstened.
The bun Of that full dress Continental
uniform is as spotless as when the
dignified soldier wore It with such
grace, and the blue Of the coat lacks
even a suggestion of being faded.
Gazing at it in the position OF promi-
nence it occupies at one end of the
old museum, one can picture In mem
ory the many stirring scenes and
splendid ceremonies through which
that costume has passed. And such
material evidence Of the Revolution
make it seem far more real than
could any school history or anecdote.

NURSE OFFERS FIRST
AID TO LUMBERMEN


First aid to the injured in the lumber
camps of the United States is planned
by the American Red Cross through
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, chairman Of
the executive committee. A PROPOSE
tion offering financial and practical CO.
operation for the undertaking was
made by Miss Boardman in an address
before the Conservation Congress al
Washington, ID. c., last week. The
Red Cross proposal was received with
enthusiastic acclaim.
Miss Boardman said no accurate data
could be given as to accidents in the
lumber industries and of this reason
she based her estimates on statistics
obtained fom the state of Washington.
In that state AZ, 400 men are employed
in the lumber district. She cites that
in % months in tie Washington lumber
camps 25l fatal accidents occurred; 800
persons were permanently partially
disabled, and S420 suffered from tenn
porary disability. This gives a month
ly average Of more than 10 killed, 43
permanently disabled and 366 temper
arily disabled. She assumes that $780,
900 people were employed in the lum-
Der industry Of the United States.
This gives the state of Washington
one-sixteenth of the total.

MANY CANADIANS TO
VISIT CALIFORNIA

During the coming winter series
Of excursions will be conducted by the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi-
cation Co. from British Columbia and
the Inland Empire TO California. -Four
excursions have already been an
nounced. the first starting from Seat
tie, with the British Columbia people,
on January 6. Following, three exeur-
sions will start from Spokane on Janu-
airy 6, l3 and 10.
The destination is southern Califor-
MIA. En- route. stops will be made in
the city Of Portland, where ride
through the business and residence Sec
tion will be taken. Leaving for the
south. brief stops will be made at
larger towns in the Willamette and
Rougue River valley. Next comes the
ride across the Siskiyous with stop
at Shasta Springs.
ln San Francisco there will be an
auto sight seeing trip, then follows a
trolley ride through the Santa Clara
valley. a visit to the big tree grove at
Santa Cruz, a visit to Del Monte, Paso
Robles and Santa Barbara and then
the visits to Los Angeles, Glenwood,
Riverside and Redlands.
The great valley of the Sacramento,
the restored San Francisco, with its
wondrous environments, the magnifi-
cent stretches of the Santa Clara val
ley, the giant trees, the delightful re-
sorts of the southland. the missions,
Los Angeles with its splendid homes
and boulevards and the palms and Or
ange groves, will render the trip
worth taking and worth remembering.
Previous excursions conducted by the
.0.-W. K. e. N. have been most success
full. California has a charm all its
own, and one which especially appeals
to the people who live in the north
west. California is part of thesgreat
west from which the trips are taken.
Going there is just getting acquainted
with ones next door neighbor and
viewing the'delights of the place he
has chosen for home. The trips also
afford opportunity to extend an invita-
tion to the Californian to come and see
the beauties of the northwest and get
acquainted with his next door neighbor
on the north.
These outings are not hurried, and
there is no crowding. The best equip
ment to be had is used, and every pos
sible eomofrt is provided. The trips
are certain to be enjoyable.

CANADIAN COAL MAY
COME BY CELLO

A hint of the tangible profits Port
land and the Mid Columbia districts
may expect through the completion of
the Cello canal and its consequent
stimulus to water transportation on
the Columbia, is contained in the visit
to Portland last week of Alberta coal
mine operators.
They believe that when. the Cello
canal is opened they can ship coal by
rail from Grow S Nest pass to the up
per Columbia, thence by water to Port
land, supplying thus a cooking and
steaming coal at much less than is at
present paid here, according to the
Portland Journal. The mine operators
were also interested in the proposition
to establish coal bunkers for the supply
of ships entering the port of Portland.
and were disappointed to find that the
Port of Portland commission has de-
cided that, until the opening of the
Panama canal, it will not avail itself
of authority granted by popular vote
some years ago to supply coal to ships
there at cost, approximately. They
were unable to understand why prepar-
alton, at least, should not be made un-
der the authority granted by the peo-
plp

Forest Notes

There is fiourishing forest school in
the Philippines, and % men were grad
uated with the class of 1918.
The so.caIled Scotch pine is the prin-
cipIe tree in the Prussian forests. Its
wood is much like that of the western
yellow pine of the United States.
In general it may be stated that the
most dangerous forest fire periods ir
the west are in middle and late sum-
mer; in the east they are in the spring
and fail.
Because of the Importance of forest
ry at the annual conservation congress
in Washington November Is to 20, ar
extra day was added to the sessions,
Monday the 17th.
1t has been suggested that guayacan,
very hard wood of Central America,
may furnish shuttle blocks to supple.
ment dogwood and persimmon, now
most used, and in danger of becoming
exhausted.
Under the forest regulations in Co
lombia, rubber gatherers are required
to give the trees a rest period in tap
ping them for gum. The size, number
and location of the incisions are regu
lated by law. In the United States
similar regulations are in force in The
tapping of pines for turnpentine on the
Florida national forest.

CUTTING OUT GRADES
ADVICE OF EXPERTS

The average life Of horses and auto
mobiles may be increased and the cost
I Of hauling reduced, according to The
Office Of Roads, Of the Department Of
Agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying out
Of new ones. The natural tendency In
road building is to build a straight
road. whether it goes over steep grades
or hills, or not. and pulling over these
grades naturally adds to the wear and
/ tear on horses and vehicles.
The doctrine Of the Office Of Roads Is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently By
building a highway around a bill OF
grade, but little appreciable distance Is
added and this is more than offset by
the reduced strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay.
ing out Of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates, IN some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, IN
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old worn
out fields and over rocky knolls. This,
of course, must raise a question in the
mind Of the individual land owner as to
whether the cutting up of his property
by a road yields MIN individual advan-
tages and so benefits his community as
10 offset the use of such land for a
road. or to overcome the inconvenience
of having bis land divided. In this
connection the Office of Roads points
out that the running of a road and the
resulting traffic through a good farm,
where there are good sheep, cattle.
horses, grain, fruit, or vegetables, has
certain advertising value and IN
many instances makes the land more
valuable. In other cases, the import
ance of such a level road to the com
munity is so great that it might well
repay those using the road TO give the
farmer the equivalent in land equally
good in place of what he has sacrificed
to the common welfare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in their roads, even at
some sacrifice of better land. lnvesti-
cation shows that the laying Of such
roads over hills has resulted more from
attention to the preservation of farm
lines than from scientific attention to
the problem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able TO pull 1000 pounds on level
road, it would have difficulty in pulling
2, 900 pounds up a steep bill. The size
of the load, therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road 10 market. In a num-
Der of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished, either with
no addition in road length in some in
stances, and with the adding of only a
few feet to the highway in others. The
Office knows of no case where a prop
erly relocated road which has cut out
grades has led to any question as to its
reduction Of hauling costs.
