How Long the War Will Last
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. Boy Frank Crane)


We have had to revise several perfect
Is good opinions since the great war
broke out.
Some proved that modern nations
simply could not 90 TO war because the
means of destruction have become so
perfect that both sides would toe ex-
terminated. others that modern wars are
too costly and al participants would be
bankrupt, others that public opinion had
So advanced that war would not bc toler-
atcd.
All wrong.
The amazing facts seem to be that
nations can adjust themselves to "A state
Of war and carry it on indefinitely
In the light of the last two years ex-
perience there is no reason why the pres
emf conflict should not continue for tif-
teen or twenty years
First, terrible rs the instruments Of
modern destruction are. they are pretty
Vel balanced, one side and the other
and no end may be looked for by This
means unless one party inyents some ter
rifle machine that can annihllate whole
armies
From a purely physical standpoint We
may expect the present deadlock 10 go

The bankruptcy idea was equally fall

Forest Notes.

Improvement on the National For.
ests during 1915 are represented by
108 miles of road, 1,719 miles Of
trail, 2,2S7 miles of telephone lines
106 miles of fire line, 102 lookout
structures, 35 bridges, 267 miles OF

and 10000 miles of telephone line
have been built within the National
Forests Of the United States.
The net area actually owned by the
public within the National Forests of
the United States is 162,773,2SO
acres. The number of National For
ests is now reduced to 155 as against
16S a year ago.
Members of the Forest Service de-
livered, during 1915, 149 public ad-
dresses, mainly in response to re-
quests from educational institutions,
associations of lumbermen, technical
societies, and National Forest users.
Twenty-seven new publications
were issued last year by the Forest
Service, and $4,000 copies of Forest
Service publications were distributed.

APPEAL is MADE TO
SAVE BIRDS DURING
SEVERE WEATHER
People Should Take Steps to Keep
Feathered Tribes From Starving.

Urging that steps be taken by the
people to keep the birds from starv-
ing during the exceptionally heavy
snow State Biologist Finley has wired
to Deputy Game Warden Young ask
ing him to make such an appeal here.
Governor Withycombe has issued
instructions to wardens throughout
the state to do what they can to in
terest the people in their communi-
ties.
The state game and fish commits
sion has purchased food in greater
quantities than ever to assist in the
work.
In Portland the Oregon Audubon
society has bought quantity of old
bread, rolled oats and wheat which
is being distributed by w. A. Elliott,
room 9 Chamber of Commerce build
ing.
People who deisre to cooperate in
| feeding the birds should scrape back
the snow under fir trees, if possible,
and place food there for the birds to
eat.
According to State Biologist Finley
the condition is serious in all parts of
the state and many birds imported by
the state game commission at large
expense are in danger of extermina-
tion unless the people act promptly.

64O-ACRE STOCKRAIS-
ING HOMESTEADS

The stockraising homestead BILL
which has been approved by the De-
partment of the Interior officials, will
probably pass Congress this spring.
there seemingly being little or no op-
position to the measure.
The bill applies only to lands that
cannot or will not be entered under
the 320-acre homestead law, that is,
to rough mountain sides and to lands
so arid that they can be used only for
grazing purposes.
Under this bill, no lands will be
subject to 640-acre homestead filings
until they have been specially desig-
mated by the Interior Department,
just as was the case when the 800
acre enlarged homestead took effect.
Il believe" says the Secretary, in
recommending the early passage of
the bill, that with lands to which
such law would apply, 640-acre
homestead would enable bona ide
homeseekers to establish and main
tain homes for the purpose of stock
raising, and for sucn farming opera
tions as will enable them to raise
their own supply of rough feed for
stock pastured on the remaining
lands entered"
The bill makes no requirements as
to cultivation, but requires the entry
man to make permanent improve
ments upon the lanGs entered tending
to increase their value for stock
raising purposes, of not less than ST.
25 per acre.
Where settler is occupying lands
within an area designated for entry
under the 64O-acre bill it is provided
that he may enter such additional
lands as will bring his entire holding
up to full section, provided he can
get enough adjacent land for this
purpose. If he can not get the re-
quisite area of adjacent land he may
relinquish his holding and make a
new entry covering $40 acres.
No communication will be allowed.
The Secretary of the Interior disap-
proves that provision of the bill
which permits a settler within dis
trict designated for 640-acre home
steading ,>making an additional entry
of lands not adjoining his holdings.
He thinks all entries should be COM
pact and in one body.
That demand for this proposed
legislation exists" says the Secre-
tary, sis undoubted not only because
existing laws are not adapted to large
areas of remaining public lands, but
because there is a widespread de-
mand for such legislation in order
that additional homes may be made
upon the public domain. This mea-
sure covers a class of lands extensive
in area, to which existing laws are
not suitable, and will, in my opinion,
secure the settlement upon and devel-
opment of a very large area of our
public land states, adding materially
to the wealth and we'll being of the
country.
1T would provide homes for thous-
ands of citizens who would otherwise
be unable to take advantage of the
homestead features of our public
land laws. 1t will wisely supplement
existing laws, open a new field, and
unquestionably add to the well-being
not only of the states wherein the
lands are located but of the entire
country"

DAN CUPID TAKES
BIG SLUMP IN 1915
However Leap Year May Give the
Dart Shooter an Incentive
In Business.

Dan Cupid, that sly shooter OF
darts, fell down considerably in his
during the past year
and left record of 81 newly married
couples as against 81 in the proceed
ing year. Whether this slump can be
attributed to the war in Europe OF
not leaves room for debatable ques-
tion, for it is true that in Europe the
war has acted as great incentive to
marriage. However, bashfulness on
the part of our young men may have
been responsible and we may look
forward to 1916, said new year being
leap year, as one which will bring q
rushing business to the license clerk
at the court house. Following is 8

CERMAK MAKES JURY SERVICE
A LITTLE EASIER
If you should see a few pool and
billiards being delivered to the City
Hall in the next few days, judge not
too hastily, friend citizen. Chances
are you'll hop to the conclusion that
Oscar De Priest, Gene Pike and Chief
Healey are going to play few games
of kelly pOoT' with Big Bill. Per-
haps you'll imagine that our city Of
ficials are providing themselves with
amusement with which to kill time.
But you'll be wrong. The pool
and billiard tables are really to the
benefit of such of our citizens who
are drawn for municipal court jury
service and constitute a. really
thoughtful idea on the part of Anton
]. Cermak, chief baiIiff of the Munic-
ipal court.
Sometimes there are as high as
$50 men drawn for jury service. They
are forced to wait in two rooms on
the 10th floor of the City Hall until
a jury is required in some branch of
the municipal court. Oftentimes
they are cooped up there for an en-
tire day with nothing to do but gos-
sip, look at books or gaze out of the
window while they're waiting. It's
not very pleasant job.
CeTmak realizes that. Recently he
fitted out a library which contains
many books and all the latest maya
zines. That helped some. But when
men are gathered together merely
sitting and reading all day it isn't
very exciting. So Cermak thought Of
the pool and billiard tables.

which WILL be at the end OF about half
an hour a fat perforated skinner
should be used 10 lift the pieces out
carefully and lay them on fiat plates.
They should not be placed too close to-
gether, so that they will be crowded.
The strip must then be brought to .
quick boil and kept at this for a quar-
ter OF an hour, removing the scum frcln
the surface as 1t rises. II at the end
OF the time mentioned the strip Is not
clear and thick It should cook untu
this stage is reached. The peaches
should next be put into wide moulded
Jars and the boiling strip poured in
upon them. They are then closed It
is always well to use the jars with
the glass tops and metal clamps which
are easily fastened and the jars and
tops should be sterilized by rinsing in
hot water before they are used. A
spoon should be put into the glass when
1t is filled.
Extra strip may be canned separately
to use for pudding sauces.
PRESERVED PEARS.
Medium sized pears OF uniform big
ness should be used for this and may
be peeled without being stemmed or
cored. AS matter of course only per-
feet fruit should be selected and whits
pear. like the Bartlett or some similar
variety, makes a handsomer preserve
than one of darker tinge.
Branded PEACHES
The peaches for brandying should be
selected as for preserving and should
be peeled without stoning, dropping
each into cold water as soon as the par
ing is off If this precaution is not fol-
lowed the fruit turns dark and Injuries
the appearance of the conserve.
Sugar is weighed out for the peaches
in the proportion OF six pounds of sugar
to eight pounds of fruit. The sugar is
put over the fire with a pint and half
of cold water in a large preserving
kettle, and brought TO the boil. removing
any scum that may rise to the surface.
When q good boil is reached the fruit
may be dropped in carefully and after
the boil is resumed it should be con-
tinued steadily but not violently for
fifteen minutes. The peaches are next
taken out with a perforated spoon and
packed into wide mouthed glass jars
which have been rinsed out in hot
water. These are then set to one side.
The strip is allowed to boil for fif-
teen minutes longer. skimming it from
time to time. To the quantity already
named a quart of white preserving
brandy is then added, and as soon as
the boil is regained the scalding liquor
Is poured upon the peaches in the jars
and they are sealed.
They will not be ready to eat in less
than six weeks and will be better il
is even better for pudding sauce than
that from the preserved peaches.
The same rule answers for branded
pears. preparing them for brandying as
for preserving.
