27-Year Wait Is Rewarded.

Marshfeld - George W. Suydam,
who has secret preparation for pre-
serving woods, waited 27 long years
before realizing on his knowledge of
chemicals. Nearly 80 years ago Mr..
Suydam, who is a resident of Den
mark, Curry county, prepared with his
process a number of different woods
and placed them away with woods of
the same variety to see what time
would do with each of his keepsakes.
Now that the woods have been ex-
amined and passed upon by experts, it
is found that those which were treated
27 years ago are as well preserved as
when they were put away, while the
wood which was not treated has rotted
away and decayed.
L. E. Swan, of Detroit, Mich, hear
ing of the successful preservative, came
to Curry county and, after an investi-
cation, purchased a half interest in
the secret process and will finance its

Watchful Waiting.

which confined him to the house, SO
he was allowed to invite his young
friend, Jack, to tea.
Afterward the two small boys com
menced playing hide-and-seek, and
Tommy rushed into the dining room
and asked his father to conceal him.
This his father did, behind big arm
chair.
Presently in came Jack, and instead
of beginning his search, calmly threw
himself down on the rug before the
fire.
Come, Jack" said Tommy's father,

"No fear" was the small boys calm
retort. "I'm waiting till he sniffs!"-

Washington Fruit Crop Is Late.

Olympia, Wash. = For the whole
state of Washington this years fruit
crop is from one week to two weeks
later than normal, according to Assist
ant State Commissioner of Agriculture
Morrison. Soft fruits were materially
damaged by the hard frost of May 10,
II and IL. The cold weather of last
winter did more damage than the
frosts of spring, however. Light
cherry, raspberry, blackberry and To-
cranberry crops are predicted for West
ern Washington.
Reports from Yakima county place
the apple crop there at 65 per cent of
maximum crop, pears at 53 and
peaches at 40 per cent. Cherries are
cut down to 18 per cent, prunes and
plums 40 and apricots 26. Notwith-
standing general damage to Washing
ton apple orchards, it is estimated that
increased acreage in bearing will pro-
duce more carloads of fruit this year
than were shipped last season.

Backache? Run Down?
Tired? Clean the Kidneys

When rundown after hard winter
when life indoors has brought about
a stagnant condition in the circulation
most everyone is filled with uric
acid--especially is this so of people
past middle age. This uric acid in the
blood often causes rheumatism, lum-
bago, swelling of hands or feet, or
bag-like condition under the eyes.
Backache, frequent urination or the
pains and stiffness of the joints are
also often noticed. DR.. Pierce says
that everyone should have good
sweat every day-shouid drink plenty
OF pure water and exercise in the open
air as much as possible. This helps
to throw out the poisonous uric acid

About Oregon
Secretary CIassifies Lands in
Whitman National Forest

Portland-Announcement is made BY
the district forester, George H. Cecil,
Portland, Ore, of the classification
by the secretary of Agriculture, Of
practically all the lands within the
boundaries Of the Whitman national
forest in north eastern Oregon. A net
area of approximately 879,218 acres is
embraced in this classification, and q
small area of 2742 acres is left for ex.
animation later.
The Whitman national forest lies in
the Blue mountains, and, according to
the report, consists mainly of large
body of positive forest land. The re-
port shows that there is a stand of
about four billion feet of valuable COM
mercial timber within the forest, fifty
per cent of which is western yellow
pine. There is also considerable
stand of young timber and inferior
species which has high value for wa
tershed protection for the streams
which are uesd for irrigation outside
the national forest.
This forest, it is said, has little ag-
ricultural value, and isolated, scattered
tracts only could be used for farm pur-
poses. The soil, although fertile, is
rocky and shallow, and although rec
ords are meager, the rainfall is known
to vary from 10 to 40 inches, the snow
fall from 20 inches to 80 feet-in the
higher attitudes the snow comes as
late as mid-June or as early as the
last of August; the killing frosts oc-
cur every month in the year. The
temperature is also known to vary
from 80 degrees below zero to 12O
above. Practically the entire forest
is at elevations from 1000 to 10000
feet. The topography is rough, char
acterized by deep, precititous canyons,
and jagged peaks. Although over 10, :
900 acres of alienated land exist with
in the forest boundaries, taken up un-
der the homestead and timber and
stone acts, it is claimed that most at
tempts at agriculture have proven fail
ures, and large per cent of the pri-
vate lands have eihter been abandoned
or are being held for their timber and
grazing value.
In view, therefore, of these circum-
stances, and with the exception of
small isolated tracts, aggregating 2742
acres left for later examination, the
secretary has classified the entire area
Of the Whitman national forest as
chiefly valuable for forest purposes
and not suited to agriculture or list
able under the act of June IL, 1906.

were at $8.9O@8.95, but as high as
$9@9. 10 on an excellent load was real

United States Is Pledged 10 Work for
Harmony Among Nations.
HIGHER DIPLOMACY Is URGED
Address Before Peace League Inter.
preted as "FeeIer" Looking to
Ending Of European War.

Washington, D. president Will
son declared here Saturday night be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace that
the United States was ready to join in
any feasible association of nations to
preserve the peace of the world against
political ambition and selfish hostil-
ity" and in service Of ga common Or
der, a common justice and common
peace. He expressed the hope that
the terms of peace which end the pres
ent war would include such an arrange
ment.
Outlining suggestions for peace,
which the President said he hoped the
United States would make when it has
the opportunity to do so, he included
provision for absolute freedom of the
seas, a contention which has been the
keystone of all the diplomatic discus
sions with Germany and Great Britain,
and virtual guarantees Of territorial
integrity and political independence.
Officials interpreted the Presidents
address as preliminary feeler for
peace in Europe. He outlined the
conditions on which the United States
would move if it made formal medi-
atory offer with the idea, it was un-
derstood, of learning how such sug-
gestions would be received abroad.
81 am sure" said the President,
"that the people of the United States
would wish their government to move
along these lines:
"First-Such settlement with re-
gard to their own immediate interests
as the belligerents may agree upon.
We have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interest is only in peace and its
future guarantees.
Second - An universal association
Of the nations to maintain the invio-
late security of the highway of the
seas for the common and unhindered
use of all the nations of the world and
to prevent any war begun either con-
trary to treaty covenants or without
warning and full submission of the
causes to the opinion Of the world-a
virtual guarantee Of territorial integ-
rity and political independence.
The fundamentals Of lasting peace,
President Wilson said he believed
were:
First - That every people has 6
right to choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live.
Like other nations" the President
said, 1--WE have ourselves, no doubt,
once and again offended against that
principle when for little while con-
trolled by selfish passion, as our
franker historians have been honorable
enough to admit, but it has become
more our rule of life and action.
"Second - That the small states of
the world have a right to enjoy the
same respect for their sovereignty and
for their territorial integrity that
great and powerful nations expect and
insist upon.
"And, third, that the world has
right to be free from every distrub-
ance of its peace that has its origin in
aggression and disregard of the rights
of people and nations"
The outstanding lesson of the world
war, the President said, had been that
the peace of the world must henceforth
depend upon "a new and more whole
some diplomacy"

Mohair Season Now Nearly Over.

Portland : The few lots of mohair
remaining in the Willamette valley
are being taken up at reduced prices.
The aggregate quantity remaining I'M
sold is small and should quickly be dis
posed of.
There is criticism in some quarters
of local buyer who made the an
nouncement that he would pay only 35
cents this week, and charges of manip-
ulation are made. The growers will
remember, however, that it was this
same buyer who started the advance at
the opening of the season, and was re-
sponsible, more than anyone else, in
getting the farmers more money for
their mohair than they ever before re-
ceived. 1t is his privilege to reduce
his buying price at this time, when
the suppy is practically exhausted, if
he sees fit.

Sheen In EnaIand.

In Great Britain there is one sheep
or lamb for each 25 acres of the
total area. In the 36 farm states in
America there is one sheep or lamb
for each 31.8 acres.
The British farmer handles his land
on an intensive basis and feeds his
sheep on forage-crop pastures. Such
pastures not only increase the fertility
of the land but also free the sheep
from many internal parasites contract
ed through grazing upon permanent
pastures. In particular the use of a
succession of forage-crop pastures will
prevent stomach worms, one of the
most prevalent and disastrous scourges
of young stock, and will enable the
farmer to market by the end of June
or the first of July, when market
prices are usually the highest, the
lambs that were born in the late win
ter or early spring.
