1T FELL IN FIFTH CENTURY
And Shingles Are Still Obtained From
Prehistoric Trunk of Red Cedar
Tree in Great Northwest

Shingles are still obtained from the
log of a western red cedar tree which
fell in a forest of the great Northwest
between 13 and IA centuries ago. The
huge trunk lies where it fell, blown
over, perhaps by the winds of the fifth
century, A. D.
Straddling the log, with its roots in
the ground at either side is the great
stump, ten feet high, of another tree
of the same species, also still sound.
The latter tree was evidently felled by
woodsmen many years ago. Its annual
rings number 1880. which permits of
an awe-inspiring guess at the age of
the log which it straddles. This meth
cd of growth, by the way, is not an IN
usual phenomenon. Seeds lying on the
surface of the felled trunk were nour-
ished by the wet moss which covered
it and sent sprouts down to the ground
on either side. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that the log on the ground was Of
ripe oli age 1880 years ago when the
second tree was taking root.
Since the prone log is hollow its
rings cannot be counted. Moss which
covered both log and stump and pre-
served them against decay was evident
ly burned off in a comparatively re-
cent forest fire. The species of tree
described furnishes more shingles
than any other tree in the world
the famous western cedar shingles,
known in every market in the country.
Too Hot For Him.
Arthus Feust, consulting engineer
from Utah, breezed into New York and
attended a banquet at the Engineers
club. Several of the guests were the
Kilties of Canada.
A feature of the menu was SQUAD on
toast, and one of the Scotch veterans,
after asking what it was, proceeded
to cover it well with tabasco sauce.
He ate a couple of bites of the burn
Ing LIQUID and then with low cry put
down his knife and fork.
'Lay thaur an bu-r-r-n," he said.
Then turning to the waiter called:

Want Figures Published.
The conference passed resolution
asking for the publication of figures
complied by the department Of agri
culture. after an investigation by ex-
perts, showing actual cost of raising
wheat this season.
One of the speakers expressed the
sentiment Of the farmers as follows:Y
.'In the case of wheat only has the
government dealt in direct price fixa-.
ton. In other industries. the govern
merit has confined itself to limiting
the percentage of profit The farmer
would be glad to be treated in the

percentage of profit on his wheat that

possible in 1919. The second was how
best the farmers of the country may
become united on lines similar to the
Federation Of Labor. Itwas officially,
noted that organized labor, by reason
of its solidity of organization, had
been given anything it demanded as
soon as war began, whereas the farm
ers not being well organized, have
received little or nothing.
In discussions and resolutions the
farmers expressed their belief that
practically all the wheat raised this
season had been raised at an actual
loss. The farmers, they said, were
the most patriotic class of people in
the country and expressed no hesita-
ton in making this contribution to the
war. They did feel, however, that
the country should know that the
