BRADY OF RESULTS.
Latter Secured $4,000 ApprOpria.
tiOn From Congress to Aid In Ex-
perimentatiOn Work mt U. of /.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-(Special) }
The $4,000 appropriation which
Senator Brady worked so hard in COM
mittee to have placed on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill, for expert
mental work with saving of by-prod-
ucts from stumps and timber from
logged-off lands in Idaho has been ap-
proved by the senate with an addition
al $4,000 which Senator Brady sue
ceeded in getting for the purpose of
extending the work into other states.
Senator Brady has spent consider
able time in gathering valuable and
extensive data on this subject and was
prepared when his amendments came
up to meet any opposition from east
ern senators who have little interest
in appropriations affecting the farm
ers. Considerable antagonism was met
by the Idaho senator, but his argu-
ments were SO logical and convincing
that he finally won out after very

follows:
Was Bitter Debate.
Il really believe that this work can
be carried on better in Idaho than in
any other part of the United States,
because they are well prepared and
equipped to do it. l realize that there
are great lumber interests in the
south, but Idaho has 100000 acres of
timber in her forest reserves. The
gross receipts to the government last
year from that source were something
over $246,447. 1t seems only fair
that with 100000 acres of our tim
ber tied up in forest reserves, with
annual gross receipts of the large
amount of over $246,000, that Idaho
and the other western states are en-
titled to receive some encouragement
Professor Shattuck, one of the best
posted men in the United States to-
lay on this subject, has worked
and faithfully, and has the
confidence of the agricultural depart
nent. Mr.. Shattuck does not do all |
his work in a laboratory, but goes
light out in the field, and shows the |
armer how to burn a stump.
Some of the Results.
"In writing me recently, Professor
'hattuck said:
1.-The experiments which the depart !,
nent of forestry at the University of
daho is now carrying on are yielding
ONE rather surprising results in the
7ay of crude distillate derived from
he destruction of stumps by means of
ur hood and air condenser. The man
Tho has charge of hte stump-burning
perations in the field sends me the
blowing report on a stump which,
y the way, was feet inches in dia-
leter and 3 feet 4 inches in height:
"I am sending by today's freight
10 gallons of crude distillate. This
one-half of the liquid that came
ON the stump. The stump produc-
/ 200 gallons of thin liquid and 20
allons of heavy tar. There was a
lrge tap root to the stump, and the
re followed it down fully feet. The
oparatus did not need one bit of at
ntion while in operation, and it GER
inly did it's work completely.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
NOW BREAKS OUT
WILSON LIKELY TO BE IN THE
RACE AGAIN, BUT MANY WOULD
ELIMINATE HIM.
Roosevelt Will Have Some Opposition
-BOrah Mentioned as One of the
Strong Possibilities.
BY Burton X. Standish.

| (Written for the United Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Washington
is beginning to speculate seriously
over 1916 presidential possibilities. In
coming political bees from Indiana,
| New York, Idaho, Wisconsin, Iowa, and
Kansas are beginning to arouse the
capital which for weeks past have been
honeycombed with possibilities of war.
That President Wilson, his health
permitting, will be urged by many
democratic party leaders to accept a
second nomination is conceded. That
Colonel Roosevelt, fresh from his con-
quest in South America, will get his
hat in the ring, is considered good
bet. That former President Taft is out
of all races for republican party hon
ors is admitted by his best friends.
Should these indications become
facts Wilson will be pitted against
the progressive leader again. But in
the next campaign, the coloneps
friends privately hope, Roosevelt will
be the presidential choice of both pro-
gressives and republicans.
Many Bees Buzzing.
There is a pretty big hive of politi
cal bees, however who are doing their

MUCH DANGER
IN FOREST FIRES
JUNE REGARDED AS THE MONTH
WHEN MOST DANGER OF FIRE
is PREVALENT.
While iIany Fires i'm Northwest States
Among Timber in May, Idaho Has
Been Fortunate.

| PORTLAND, Or, June 3.-While the
| early forest fires reported in May
were mostly in slashings and without
| loss, June opens the commonly rec
ognized fire season with indications
of dangerous year that demands
more than usual precaution, according
to bulletins received today by the
Western Forrstey e Conservation as
sociation from all states in the Pa
cific northwest. Much less than the
usual amount of snow remains in the
have already been several weeks of
dry weather broken only by one short
rain. Atmospheric conditions seem to
be conducive. to frequent dry interior
winds, requiring extraordinary pre-
caution in firing slashings. Patrols
are already in the field and being
rapidly recruited to their full strength.
Unless there shall be rain in June
trouble is expected, but the protective
organization to meet it will be better
than in any past year.
Washington Was Touched.
Washington had fully 100 fires in
May, some of them receiving much pub
licity, but practically all were slash
ing fires more useful than otherwise
About rs per cent of loggers slashings
are thus cleaned up, removing danger
later. A little green timber killed by
a fire in Clallam county resulting from
road builders carelessness, with some
logs and equipment burned in Che
halls county slashing, comprise the
only actual damage. The state has
wardens on duty and is very
active in educational work. The |
Forest Fire association |
has 80 men in the field. Road build |
ers debris now constitutes the worst
hazard.
No Fires in Idaho.
Idaho reports fairly frequent rains
md no fires yet. On the other hand,
In early spring and dense vegetation
make dry weather more to be feared
han usual. Contrary to Washington,
lights of way are in better condition
han slashings especially those of set
lers and small loggers. Patrol forces
ire cleaning up fire-traps and working
IN trail and telephone systems.
Montana conditions are much like
hose of Idaho. There have been no
important fires.
Small Oregon Fires.
Oregon has had three or four small
lash fires with no damage. The state
orester urges continuation of pur-
oseful slash burning, under permit
nd with full precaution. He has about
6 men in the field. Private patrol
ssociatiols also began work in May
nd will have $50 men on duty by
uly 1.
All Will Cooperate.
Throughout the northwest, co-opera-
on between private, state and federal n
,rces is more complete than in past
ears. The Weeks law fund, granted
y congress to states with efficient
has again given Oregon
Idaho and Montana i'm t
1rtant financial assistance. Much at
,ntion is being given by all agencies v
lookout stations and telephone eX- S
nsion In short, all report excellent h
,eparation to meet bad year but

ews and loggers is agreed to be the S

paving bond election which closed last
night show a material increase in the
number of taxpayers in Moscow for
this election over the registration made
for the paving bond election held two
years ago, Notwithstanding that many
prominent residents and taxpayers
failed to qualify as voters before the
registration books closed. This is
strong proof of a large increase in
the population in the city since the
first pavement movement was inaug-
urated which has done much to- place
Moscow on the map as an energetic
and growing city.
Over HOO Register.
The figures complied from the reg
istration books of the 1912 bond cleo
ton for pavement showed a total of
1918 which was divided by wards as
follows: First, 430; second, 242;
Third, 346. The unofficial figures so
far as compiled today show that more
than 100 registered for the coming
election, or an increase of about 100
taxpayers. The incomplete figures by
wards are as follows: First, 454; Sec
ond, 232, Third, 800. To these figures
will be added a number of registrations
that have not as yet been compiled by
the city clerk.
Must Interest Shown.
There was intense interest Monday
and Tuesday among resident taxpayers
over the registration, it being the last
days on which to qualify and it is
estimated that more than half of the
registrations were made during that
period, the registration books closing
at o'clock last night.
Election Next Monday.
The election will be held on June
