FINE LECTURE
BY {. A. FISHER
FOREST RESERVE SUPERVISOR
TALKS TO UNIVERSITY FOR
ESTRY CLUB.
Tells OF Work Carried on by the Gov.
ernment and OF the Splendid
Results Obtained.

Monday evening, last, Mr.. Charles
Fisher, supervisor of the Clearwater
National forest, lectured to the forestry
club on the subject, Improvement
Work on National Forests" Mr.
Fisher was formerly a resident OF
Moscow and student at the univer-
sity, and he prefaced his remarks
with some "reminiscences of the uni
versity in it's younger days.
Regarding the improvement work
he said: Forest improvement and
forest protection go hand in hand
Improvements on national forests con-
sist of houses, barns, fences, roads
trails, telephone lines, fire lines, etc.
all of which are absolutely necessary
to the administrative scheme of the
forest. The estimated value of all i'm
provements is over three million dol
lars, two-thirds of which are for pro-
lection and lines of communication.
1t is thought that fully IS per cent of
the lands embraced in the national for
ests are now open to quite easy ac-
cess. There is only an interval OF
about seven miles between lines of
travel This is looked upon as a safe
average

Has Wide Acquaintance.

Judge Forney has held state, coun-
ty as we'll as federal positions for a
long series of years. Should he run
and be elected to congress he would
WELD an influence there for Idaho, his
friends say, in view of his large ac-
quaintance with members of con-
gress, the bar and administration
heads.

Funds for RefOrestatiOn.

THE Weeks law, under which the
government is allowed to purchase
| land that has been denuded of its for
est, provides also for the protection of
forest land Last year it gave $1,000
to the State of Idaho, $4,000 of which
were spent by the North Idaho For
estry association and $4,000 given to
the state land board"
Mr.. Fisher then took up and dis
cussed separately the different kinds
of improvements. He spoke especially
of the difficulties encountered in the
building and maintenance of telephone
lines. The line is strung on trees.
Split insulators are used so that, in
case a tree falls across the line, the
wire will slide through the insulator,
allowing enough slack so that the line
is not broken 1t has been found ad-
visable to build the lines so that they
can be taken down in the winter. Iron
hooks are driven into the trees and
from these hooks the insulatOrs are
hung by wire loops. To take down the
line it is necessary only to remove the
loops from the hooks. The line is left
on the ground during the winter and
replaced in the spring.

COOperates With Lumbermen.

Cooperation with the lumbermen
| is sought because it cements good feel
ing between the forest service and the
forest users In the grazing districts
of the southwest the cooperation is
more with the stock men"
AS to the sources of funds for carry
ing on the improvement work Mr.
Fisher said, "One of the great sources
of help is what is known as the 'twen-
ty-five per cent item. Twenty-Five
per cent of all receipts of the national
forests is paid to the secretary of the
state in which the forests are located,
to be expended for the improvement of
roads and schools. This money is ap-
portioned out to the counties contain
ing national forests, 60 per cent going
to the schools and 40 per cent to the
roads. The forest service has no hold
on this money whatever but in many
cases the money is expended for roads
within the national forests.
Another source of funds is the ten
per cent item. The act of Aug. 10,
1912, states that an additional 10 per
cent of all money received from the
national forests shall be available for
the construction of trails and roads on
national forests within the state. Thus
the state gets 80 per cent of the gross
revenue from forests within its boun-
daries.

BANQUET FRIDAY

CHASE CITY, VA, March 30
Chase City is likely to have knit

at the present time. Northern men
are behind the project and those in
terested will be here this week to go
over the ground and decide upon
something definite.
The chamber of commerce will give
banquet Friday night at the Gre
CORY hotel at which there will be
speeches by several of the business
men OF the city and some outsiders
who have been invited to address
the body along civic improvement
lines.
Chase City is very much alive and
the spring trade being enjoyed by
the merchants is far In excess of that
of any previous year. Nearly nve
million pounds of tobacco have been
sold on this market this season. and
the prospects for the next season
indicate that least ten million pounds
will be sold. The market has grown
steadily since It was established
A diversity Of manufacturing inter
ests makes this city one Of the most
substantial in the Old Dominion; at
present there Is O wagon factory here

tablished Is practically a certainty.
and with the tobacco interests. there
is a demand for good labor OF all
kinds A cotton mill will eventually
be erected here, and 1t Is only q
question of time. This would com
plete a chain of manufacturing plants

/ WASHINGTON. d. C. March 30
4 Miss Matte Tyler, the granddaughter
I of President Tyler, may Yet resume
/ her duties as postmaster at CORTLAND,
Va. In personal appeal to President
I Wilson today Miss TYLER briefly told
the situation OF her displacement and
was assured by the president that he
would gladly give consideration 10 her
statements and to the case. He did not
make any promises, hut the friends OF
Miss Tyler who accompanied her we're
strongly hopeful that she would not
be replaced.
Miss Tyler found the president sym
pathetic and willing tn give her all the
time necessary for her statement of
the case, although he was extremely
busy. with a large number of callers
awaiting him.
II thank the newspapers for their
kindness TO me" said Miss Tyler. II
was afraid Of them when i came here.
but they have done much to enable me
10 secure Justice. OF course, / do not,
know what the president may do. al
though l am moro hopeful now than
a. any other time.
II would like to return 70 CORTLAND
by tonight's boat. but do not know
whether to remain In Washington
longer. If ! am to give up my Office
1t will be necessary for me TO return
Ia CORTLAND and arrange TO turn tho
Office over to Mr.. Williams. who has
been given tho commit ssion.

enemies thought they had beaten ms
out OF my place. A postmaster had
been named and had received his com
mission. as In the case of Mr.. Williams
Ie had made plans for a new post
office and arranged everything. Fresi-
dent Roosevelt stepped in and l was

CITY SUPPLIES GAS,
CITIZENS BURNERS
DEPARTMENT CLAIMS GAS GOOD
BAD SERVICE DUE TO PIPES
AND BURNERS.

The subcommittee on utilities yes
terday amended the proposed gas or
dinance" In that the consumer may
not be fined for refusing to use APP
planes which may be suggested by
the gas department. and when the
general committee meets on Thursday
night, all 1t will have to do will be
TO consider whether the city may COM
pei consumer or property owner to
provide any specific gas fixture or gas
pipe.
The idea of the ordinance Is that
when a consumer thinks he Is not
getting a good supply of gas. or the
gas Is of inferior make. he may COM
plain to the department Then If the
departent shows that the gas Is all
right, and that the fault lies with the
burner or the pipe leading from the
meter, II Is up to the consumer and
not 10 the department to see that the
condition of affairs IS remedied.
There have been many complaints
In past years as to the quality OF the
gas. The superintendent has argued
that the gas Is all right, but that tho
pipes and the burners are not all
right.
Therefore said Superintendent
Knowles yesterday. why should the
department be blamed for bad
lights?"
