Frost Check In Idaho
Damage to live timber by frost
checks is also we'll known to woods
men. The cracking caused by sud
den contraction OF the wood, is most
common during a rapidly lowering
temperature to a degree below that
to which the trees are accustomed.
In February, 1904, II. e. Fem, as
sistant district forester at Ogden,
and George G.. Bentz, now supervisor
Of the Caribou, at Montpelier, Idaho,
were rangers on the Bitterroot for
est, and had their headquarters at
Elk City. Certain gorges of the
Salmon were almost inaccessible in
summer on account of precipitious
cliffs, and the river froze sufficiently
to bear a man only during the cold
est weather. During one or these
cold snaps the rangers were out on
two weeks trip on skids and, hav'
ing completed their work decided to
return by way Of the Dixie mining
camp, necessitating climb OF four
or five thousand feet over the summit
Of the divide between the Salmon
and Clearwater basins. The after
noon was warm, and with the heavy
packs the clinging of the snow to
the skids impeded travel. Twice 1t
was necessary to build fires, and,
warming the skids rub them with
beeswax and polish them with buck
skin gloves. Thus delayed the men
arrived at the camp near midnight,
yet although it had become bitter
cold no popping of the trees was OBJ
served. Next morning the thermo
meter was So degrees below zero, and
as the men walked through the for
est in the still, frosty air, the trees
we're cracking like guns in every al
rection. In fact, ignoring the wealth

and toy balloon of a genuine Fourth
of July celebration. The thickef

that suffer. The report accompanying

check has sometimes started an in

impression was that someone was al

WHAT WILL THE CANAL Do
FOR COAST-TO-COAST TRAFFIC?

Now that We have the Canal. we
want to know what its effects are to
be. The figures regarding its use
are, however, badly vitiated by the
existence of war. In October, 1914,
the total tonnage passing through
the Canal was 377,699 tons; in No
vember, 1926 tons. This average
extended through a year would yield
about half the tonnage estimated be-
fore the opening of the canal for
the year 1915. The tolls on the ba-
sis Of $1.20 per ton would amount
20 slightly under six million dollars
for the year as against the nineteen
and quarter millions estimated as
necessary to make the canal self sup.
porting, including three percent in.

the canal and one per cent for sink.
ing fund. 1t seems never however,
to have been expected that the can
al should pay for Itself during the
earlier years. If 1t came to do so
by 1925, that would even more than
satisfy expectation.
The coast to coast tonnage passing
the canal in October, 1914, was ia,
245 tons; in November, 1855 tons,
being somewhat less than half the
total tonnage. The total tonnage is
by reason of the war far smaller
than it otherwise would have been,
but the coast to coast tonnage is
double the expectation. Shippers
are used to paying on the Tehuante.
pee or Panama Railway charges
which Professor Johnson shows are
essentially five times as great as the
Panama Canal charges. This so pa
pable advantage naturally sends the
whole volume of the coast to coast
trade from the very beginning thru
the canal.
1t seems likely that the canal will
first make itself felt in drawing clos
err together the shores of North and
South America. The wider develop
/ ments will come later and slowly
Trade has its habits like everything
human. Outside of the Americas
there will be no sudden oveturning In
the courses of trade, and even there
the development will follow lines al

MARKS IN WOOD RE-

Little diagonal streaks or wrinkles

The marks are caused by what are
called compression failures" which
occur when the fibers bend or buckle
under a too heavy strain. In cutting
up logs collected for experiments at
the laboratory, it was noticed that
these compression failures appeared
on the north side of number Of

knowledge of the time when 1t was

been caused by severe wind from

1t was found that a hurricane had, in
fact, swept over the region at the
time indicated.
The experiments have determined
that the strength of piece of wood

acted in "a states. The Rideout bill
does not provide for commission

ployer whether he shall come under
its provisions. Any dispute between
the employer and the employee in
regard to an injury or the payment
may be settled by the district court
on an order to show cause instituted
by the employee.
Objections Raised
p. l.. Williams, attorney Ior the
oregon Short Line, raised the ques'
ton as to whether the act was con
stitutional. He said that rne state
constitution provided that the rights
of action to recover damages for in
iuries resulting in death shall never
be abrogated and that the amount re
.overab.e shall not be limited by
statutory provisions. Senator Ride
out said that by making the system
elective that he believed 1t would be
overcome.
George S. McAllster, representing
the Manufacturers Association, said
that the members of the association
we're in favor Of a compensation act
but a special committee appointed by
the association to study the Rideou'
bill had a number OF amendments tC
submit.
j. Will Knight, Of the Provo Wool
en- Mills, said that he feared sucf
legislation would tend to widen the
breech between capital and labor. H'
said that moving pictures showing
the capitalist kicking the laborer GU
of his house because he was unable
to pay the rent was a bad thing, say
ing there was too much exploitation
of the differences between labor ant
capital.

Mr.. knight said that in mining the
employer paid insurance through the
fact that he paid twice as much for

ployer would not get the benefit OF
