A SEVERE TEST

Last Saturday the Main Street
garage gave a demonstration of the
hill climbing qualities of the Stude-
baker automobile, which stamped
it as remarkable little car. They
loaded nine passengers into the au-
tomobile and climbed the grade on
Blaine street, between Grand and
State streets, which is one of the
steepest in this section. Not only did
the car negotiate the grade without
difficulty, but it was stopped in the
middle Of the hill and held by the
brakes without losing an inch and
vas then started up and run to the
top without a hitch. Considering the
heavy load and steep grade, the test
was very severe one and showed
that the Studebaker 4 fully measures
up to the claims made for it by the
manufacturers.

TO CRUISE TIMBER
LAND THIS SUMMER
Party Under Direction of Professor
Clothier to Cruise 1900 Acres
in Western Washington

Professor G. l.. Clothier, head of
the Forestry Department, has select
ed a timber cruising party for the
purpose of cruising some of the
State College timber land in What
com and Skagit Counties during the
coming summer, The party is to be
c-mposed of J. II. Kilbuck, Sidney
Johnson, r. r. Boyd Harry Malm-
stem, and J. A. Lybecker, with Pro-
fessor Clothier at its head, and will
begin it's work at the close of the
school term and continue until the
first of September.
The purpose of the cruise is 70
make it possible for the Beard of
Regents to know the value of the
timber lands contained in the land
grants to the State College. Alto
gether the college owns about 1877
GOO acres of timber lands lying in
the western and northwestern coun-
ties. OF this amount about $4,000
acres have been cruised in Lewis
CowlitZ, Wahkiakum, and Pacific
counties in cruises made during the
last two summers. The cruise this
summer will commence in Whatcom
County west of Mt. Baker, where
there is about 5000 acres, and the
latter part of the cruise will cover
about 10000 acres east of Mt. Yer
Ion, in Skagit County.
These timber lands are part of
the grants made to land grant col
leges by the federal government, and
should be a source of considerable
revenue to the college. OF tho tim
Der cruised in Southwestern Wash
ington last summer one of the best
sections of $40 acres measured g.
400, 900 board feet of lumber, which,
It conservative figures is worth
$104, sos. The best tract of less than
section was 480 acres, which meas
ured 41,931,000 board feet, valued
at $73,844.00, while the most valu-
able single 4O-acre tract measured
6,722,000 board feet and was valued
at $11,492.00. The timber cruised
during the summer of 1912 at a very
conservative figure was valued at
$1,250,000, and the 1900 acres in
Guided in the cruise this summer
will perhaps reach a valuation of
$1,75O,000. The valuation of the
entire amount Of land owned by the
college is about $10,00O,OOO at pres
ent prices and within the next Is
years the price should double.
Professor Clothier has had charge
of the cruise in the past as head of
the Forestry Department and will
probably continue the cruises annu-
ally until all the tracts have been
measured.
