The old west which Is being annu-
ally commemorated in Pendleton by
the Roundup and Happy Canyon. is
not a vision and a tradition to Lot
LlveTmore, one Of Pendleton's leading
citizens since there was a Pendleton
and a prominent figure In Umatilla
county before that It was a reality
to him for he was a part Of ii, and
his memory can recall many scenes
which were just as exciting as the
Roundup but which were not formed
for the entertainment of crowd.
Mr.. Livermore has Just turned so,
but nobody calls him an old man. He
Is still an active part of the business
world and each day finds him at his
post.
Mr.. Livermore frelghted across the
plains in 1850 with a span of oxen,
and is one Of the earliest pioneers of
Umatilla county. He was born in
Marietta, O., August II, 1885.
He crossed the plains in 1850 to
the willamette valley, where he re-
mained IA years.
He remained in Umatilla about
three years and moved to Pendleton
in 1859. Pendleton then was wild
and woolly," with q few saloons, a
dance hall and a population Of I'll
interspersed amongst the few stores
of Main street.
Mr. Livermore here established
mercantile business that he operated
until 1878. when he sold out to X.
Alexander. the present owner Since
then he has been engaged continu-
ously in real estate and insurance
brokerage.
His first wife, now dead, was Clara
Brown whom he married March H.
1869. Mrs. Della Beattie OF oregon
City is a daughter by his first wire
His second marriage was september
q, 1885. with Mrs. Ellen Switzler' A
daughter was born Of this marriage
also. Miss Lolita Livermore, and two
sons, Bob and Lynwood. The former
is in the employ of the oregon Lum'
Der Company and the latter Is in his
fathers office.
Mr. IAvermore was one Of the first
postmasters of Pendleton, SERVING
from 1873 to 1887, Under his ad'

The National Forests have come tc
be such important factors in the Lives
and welfare Of the people Of the west
that II will be interesting to explain
something about them, with special
reference to the Umadlla, which, II
can be said. lies at our doors. II
should be borne In mind, however
that the administrative procedure OF
the forest service is alike for all the
forests, whether in New Mexico, OF
Oregon, the object being to 80 stand
Ardize the method of work and equip
ment as to give the public the maxi
mum OF service. consistent with the
money appropriated, at a minimum
of cost.
The Umatilla National Forest is
situated on a low spur OF the Blue
Mountains. the attitudes varying from
$500 to 1000 feet. 1t is divided in.
TO two divisions. the eastern and
western, Camas valley intervening be-
tween the divisions. The gross area OF
the forest is 566,s2O acres OF which
about one eighth is In private owner
ship. The forest lies south OF PEN
dleton about 25 miles and II extends
from Starkey valley on the east to
within fourteen miles Of Fossil on
the west, It's southern boundary is not
very far from the John Day river.
Portions OF Umatilla, Grant, horroV
and Wheeler counties are within the
exterior boundary. The headquarters
of the forest supervisor Is at Pendle-
ton. The timber cover is composed
chiefly Of yellow pine, tamerack, fir
and lodgepole in the order OF their
commercial importance, lack Of trans
portation facilities, however, prevents
the present sale OF the timber.
Aside from the commercial value
OF the timber cover, II has still an
other value that Of water shed pro-
lection and In this the lodgepole
plays an important part, its dense
stands helping greatly to conserve
the moisture OF the rains and SHOWS;
in region like this where so much
depends on the regularity OF the wa
ter supply, this value can readily be
recognized as being well worth pro-
tecting
Grazing.
The forest has still another i'm
portant resource, Of which use Is
made by many Of our people, the for

Forest Game.

June Is to Oct is ..,........ &c
Forest Game.
There is an abundance Of game In
the forest and II is interesting to note
the existence OF band Of elk on the
eastern division which probably num-
bers from 100 to 200 head, though no
definite figures are available. At one
time they were very plentiful on the
area now included in the national
forest and 1t is to be regretted that
their number has dwindled to such an
extent but since they are now pro-
tected by the state law, backed up by
the active and intelligent coopera-
ton OF the public 1t is hoped that
their numbers will increase to such a
point in a few years as win permit OF
their being hunted under proper
state regulation.
The Umatilla National Forest is di-
vided into four ranger districts each
in charge of a district ranger, who is
on duty the year round; during the
field season, which is generally five
months, the district ranger is assist
ed by one or more men, called forest
guards. The ranger in charge Of a
district is responsible 20 the forest
supervisor for its administration and
detailed supervision. Each district
ranger and guard has a cabin to live
in and an enclosed pasture or two
for his horses and is supplied with
such tools and equipment as are ne
cessary. The work OF a ranger dur
ing the field season consists of patrel
for fire, looking after grazing mat
ters, issuing free use permits. build
ing and repairing roads, trails, tele-
phone lines, cabins, pasture fences
etc, so that one may see that his
time is fairly well taken up; in the
winter he has his office work to catch
up with, perhaps neglected through
busy field season, and there is al
ways some field work which can be
done during the winter.
Fire Fighting.
Fire IS a very dangerous and re-
lentless enemy Of the forest and plans
for the administration of forest are
based primarily on the fire risk the
ranger districts and stations being so
situated as to control the risk as near
as maybe, telephones lines are built
to facilitate communication between
the various members Of the forest
force and lookout stations maintained
| to make possible immediate notifica-
ton OF fires in short everything is
organized to meet sudden emer-
gency and obtain quick action there
in.
A good lookout system has been
found to be a very necessary part Of
fire protection plan; there are two
main lookouts on the Umatilla, one
on Lookout Mountain on the eastern
division and the other on Tamarack
Mountain on the western division.
| Both of these peaks overlook the for

WATER FOR BEES IN SPRING
Should Be Conveniently Arranged in
Wooden Pals Near Hives. "a.
Avoid All Dampness.
(By F. G. HERNAN.)

In the spring the bees require large
quantities of water. 1t frequently
happens in early spring that they are
compelled to go to the creek or to
some pond, and in filling themselves
with the very cold water they become
so chilled that many fail to ever reach
the hive.
To avoid, place few wooden pals
or dishes filled with warm water at
convenient places in thelbee yard, put.
ting in few wooden floats, that the
bees may be enabled to keep on q
more or less secure footing" "a
Avoid tin or glass dishes, as the
slippery sides will bring about the
destruction of many bees life.
Inasmuch as dampness within the
hive is greatly detrimental to the com
fort and welfare Of the bees, particu-
lar care should be taken that the hive
covers are tight and waterproof If
the hives are far enough apart, to
avoid danger of blowing OF, shade
board, well weighted down, will keep
the hives nice and dry.
And this moves me to say that a
shade board is an indispensable ar.
ticle in every well-regulated apiary. It
is also important that hives be firmly
and squarely fastened to a base sup
port, elevated some six or eight inches
from the damp and cold earth.
A free air space beneath is prefer
able for evident reasons. II you can
find time, level up the apiary, marking
out the paths, etc. This work pays in
more ways than one, and should not
be neglected. w.,
Arrangements for the coming profit
able season should now be completed;
have everything in readiness SO that
no time may be lost when time be-
comes valuable in a pecuniary sense.
This is good management and abb
solutely essential to proper measure
of success.

"DELICAClEs" AT THE FRONT
Hindu Troops Have Partially for
Dafnties That Seem Peculiar
- to Western Senses.

A Native Indian writer, a Mr.. Mira,
in a letter to an English newspaper.
tells Of the kind Of delicacies that the
British Indian troops at the front par
ticularly enjoy. The principal things
are ghee. areca nut, betel and Indian
tobacco.
To English readers, says the Man
chester Guardian. ghee will be the
most mysterious of these commodl'
ties. 1t is a kind of clarified butter,
made from curdled milk-in India
usually from buffalo milk. The
curdled milk is churned into butter;
then the butter stands for few days
until it begins to turn rancid. Then
it is boiled, and seasoned with dhye-
whatever that is-salt or the leaf OF
the betel, which is kind Of pepper
plant Indians like it, but Europeans
seldom do, because it is SO ripe" that
it is virtually rancid.
AS most people know, the Hindus
use the areca nut as a kind of chew
ing gum. They chew 1t with betel
leaf and a little shell lime. The nut
is astringent and bitter, but it does
not seem to have any particular effect
on the user. The betel leaf adds a
peppery flavor to the combination.

Well Bred and Thrifty.

worth breeds best illustrate this type.
These are of British origin and have
been developed on heterogeneous rations
mainly composed of grains, grasses
and dairy products. @
rs Comparative experiments show that
all breeds do about equally well un-
der similar conditions and, for feed
consumed, usually make about the
same increase in, live weight and
growth. The bacon hog, however,
dresses but from 70 to Is per cent
net of his gross weight. The lard hog,
on the other hand, dresses from 80 to
IS per cent. AS dressing percentage
Is the most important factor in deter
mining the value Of hogs In the great
markets of the central West, 1t can
be seen why the lard type is particu-
larly popular in the corn and grain
belt states. >F5
AS the large packers are able to
secure much of their supply OF bacon
from immature and unfinished lard
hogs. there is no large and well-estab-
lished market of the central West for
animals of the strictly bacon type, and
although conditions are suitable for
the production of bacon hogs of high
quality, their breeding and feeding
should not be undertaken with the
Idea of marketing them in competition
with animals of the lard type. The
bacon hog is an excellent source OF
home-cured pork, and where there is
a local or special market demand suffi-
Gent to insure a good profit over the
cost of production the raising of ba-
con animals may well be encouraged.

MAKE SUCCESS WITH SWINE

general conformation in the mature
form and finished condition. And
while many breeds are included in the

Normally there is one crown to

are kept removed a number of crowns
will be formed on each plant: some
times a large number. Growers In
some sections practice removing the
runners and causing the formation OF

plant. This is known as the hill sys-
tenn of culture. This system makes
it possible to cultivate the plants both
ways, thus reducing the expense OF

The strawberry plant, in practice,

new plants at the nodes. Normally,
after the plant sends up flower stems,
In the spring, runners do not begin
to form to any great extent before
the end of the fruiting season.. How
ever, by removing the fruit stems
early in the season, runners Will be-
gin to form earlier. Some growers
remove the fruit stems in this way
from young plants that have been set
in the spring in order to hasten the
beginning of runner formation The
results indicate that the practice is a
good one.H; a" = - -~,s>
The fruit is borne on stems that

British Army's Black Bands.

At one time much Of the music
played to enliven British troops was
furnished by black bandsmen. These
were first attached to the army In the
seventeenth century. owing to one OF
the guards bands having refused, in
a body, to play at an entertainment
organized by the officers AS none OF
the men were attested, they could not
be punished for characterization. SO
the officers petitioned the duke of
York, then commanderin-chief, that
bandsmen should in future be made
subject to military law. To this the
duke would not agree, but he brought
over from Hanover for the guards a
complete German military band, which
included; negro players Of the bass
drum, cymbals and triangles. Nearly
every regiment in the service has
tened to reorganize its band, engaging
colored performers for all percussion
instruments. Down to 1841 the band
Of the Scots Guards included negro
