English walnuts grow and mature in
Orofino and the Clearwater valley to
perfection. Therefore the following
about walnuts printed in
the Orenco, Oregon, Herald OF recent
date should be OF interest:
We must not overlook mentioning the
walnut tree. This in tree that has
been slow in receiving the attention it
deserves, but Of late it is attracting
more than ordinary attention. There
are many varieties Of walnuts and a
planter should be careful in the selec-
ton OF varieties in order to get one
whose characteristics and habits are
suitable for his location and conditions.

depenable, all around variety for nor
thern paintings. This variety is especi-
ALLY desirable on account of its early
bearing qualities. Many people have
been lead to believe that a walnut tree
would not produce nuts until s, 9 or 10
years. There are innumerable trees
OF the Vrooman Pure Strain Franquett
through Western Oregon, and particu-
larly the Willamette Valley, that are
bearing nuts at 3 and years from
transplanting. Two walnut trees 4
years old, bore 152 nuts from
one tree and 129 from another. This is
merely an indication Of the early bear
ing qualities OF the Vrooman Fran
quette. Not only is the Vrooman
Franquette destined to become one OF
the most profitable orchard trees, but
It is likewise most desirable tree for
shade and ornamental planting, com
bining usefulness and profitableness.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IN CLEARWATER &C

Because OF the fact that in no county

more fragrant and open violation OF

county, the following will be of consid-
cradle interest, indicating what will
happen here when the county attorney,
if he will, or some private attorney, if
the county attorney does not, prosecute
offending county officials. The dis

FORESTRY OFFICIALS
HAVE FINE MEETING

Supervisor Chas. A. Fisher and
Deputy Supervisor Roscoe G. Wilson,
Of the Clearwater National Forest, re-
turned to Orofino Monday, P. NJ, from
Missoula, Montana where they were in
attendance at the annual meeting OF
Forest Supervisors and District Office
officials Of Field District No. of the
Forest Service.
When seen by the Republican editor
upon his return Supervisor Fisher
stated that the meeting was unanimous
in the belief that the Service should
first and above all other matters, con-
fine its efforts to the protection Of tim
Der from destruction by forest fires
and that during the danger season all
other work would be regarded as being
Of secondary importance. All Super
visors are expected and will see to it
that all telephone lines under their
charge are in good working order by
July /, and all roads and trails must be
opened up and ready for use on or be.
fore that date. The usual patrol will
be put on by July !, and on the heavily
timbered forests will be strengthened
and made to more nearly meet urgent
needs Of the service. During the com
ing season everything possible will be
done to make the patrol and fire fight
ing organization as nearly perfect al
can be and much more effective ant
responsive to the needs Of the servic'
than it has been at any time since th'
Forest Service was made a Department

SHERIFF HARPER
NOT SO POPULAR

giving us justice. From reports there
is some bootlegging in the Fraser,
Weippe and Pierce countries, Of which
our present sheriff is believed to have
known something before he was
elected. Why don't he know about it
now?
believe little cowardice is shown
among the people in regard to reporting
such as bootlegging and chasing deer
with dogs. Some say: ''If we report
them they might kill our stock on the
range, or do something. Anyway 1t
would make enemies in the county and
we can't afford that" But the longer
law breaking goes on the worse it
will be.
Why can't the law-abiding citizens
get together IN our county and stop
this work? Our officials are, we are
certain, not making very strong ef-
fort to do it. They say: "Well, just re-
port them and bring in the evidence
and we will make them 60 some."
If the letter headed warming is
true, and no doubt it is, there is no
need Of reporting, since the law is
violated right under their noses, where
it can be smelt and tasted. Are the
taxpayers satisfied? Is that justice?
think not. NOT EXEMPT.

of the Government
R. b. Adams. Supt. Of Telephone con-
struction was present at the meeting
and gave the Supervisors some very
valuable advice and instruction on con-
struction of new and maintenance OF
old telephone lines. The matter Of the
Service installing telephones for set
tiers living in remote sections provid-
ing the settlers agree to act as fire re-
porters was approved. Cooperation
Of this kind with the settlers has been
one of the biggest helps the Service
has had in its fire protection work.
There are now over 1000 miles OF
trail and 3,OOO miles of telephone lines
within the district and to these will be
added sufficient mileage on all forests
to render them easily and quickly ac-
cessible in case of disastrous fire sit
uations such as the 1910 season.
Grazing, timber sales, lands, special
uses, free uses, improvements and all
other branches Of the work were taken
up and many definite policies outlined
for the coming season.
It was found that on number ol
the forests there are applications fol
grazing permits for stock quite in ex
cess Of the number of stock which car
be permitted to Craze thereon, and i
will be the policy Of the Service to en-
deavor to get the stockmen to Craze
their herds on number of north Idah'
forests where there is yet abundance
Of excellent grass and forage.
