NORTHWEST HAS BIG
LUMBER CUT IN 1917

According TO a preliminary report
Just compiled in the office OF District
Forester George H. Cecil of Portland
462 mills in the state Of Washington
cut 1921, ,270, 900 board feet in 1917,
and 44i mills in Oregon cut 2,4S4,.
07S,000 board feet. In 1916 the
total cut reported for Washington
was 4,492, 1897, 900 board feet. cut by
444 mills, and the 1916 cut for Ore
gon was 2,221,S54, 900 by 525 mills.
In Oregon the cut thus far reported
for 1917 is 262.219, 900 greater than
the total reported cut for 1916. In
Washington the cut reported to date
is 2O1,727,OOO less than the total
cut for 1916. 1t is expected that
the final figures for each state vii!
show a decided increase over the
1916 cut.
In Washington 3,6SS,434.OOO board
feet were cut by 123 mills; while
in Oregon 60 mills cut 2,147,O76,000
board feet.
A few mills in both states have not
yet reported their cut for 1917 but
the forest service hopes to secure re-
ports from these delinquent mills in
time to include them in the final re-
port of lumber cut for the two states
which will be compiled early in May.

WEATHER WISDOM FROM
THE BIG TREE TRUNK

A. A. Brown of Gazelle has estab-
lished the fact that dry and wet per-
lords, each lasting for a number of
years, have alternated in California
for the past 400 years and probably
for many thousands of years. He has
proved his theory by the big sugar
pine and fir trees which have been
cut down on his ranch, many of which
were 400 years old or more.
In counting the rings across the
trunk to- ascertain the age of the tree
he has observed that some rings are
very wide and others very narrow,
showing that during the season the
tree made great growth and at
other seasons the growth was very
slight, as shown by the wide or mar
row rings. He logically concludes
that nothing would cause the differ
ence in growth except wet and dry
years, the wide rings representing
the wet years and the narrow ones
the dry.
A significant feature OF his obser-
is that the wide rings are u.s.
ually in bunches by themselves and |
that there are generally a number of
very narrow rings together, showing
that dry periods, each lasting a num-
ber Of years, have occurred in this
section for hundreds of years in the
past, and likewise the wet periods
have continued for years without
Freak. This is almost conclusive that
when a dry period sets in on this
cast we may expect it to continue
'ver a periods of three to seven

to permit the use OF foodstuffs in

Italian Destroyers
Sink Austrian
Dreadnaughts
Plucky Little Vessels Sink Two of the
Largest Boats of the Austrian Navy
and Disable Third Which Pursued.
(By United Ptess).

Rome, June 1.-Two small Ital-
ian torpedo boats, defying an entire
Austrian battle fleet, sank two of
the largest dreadnaughts in the
Austrian navy Monday morning
and returned safely to their beats,
it was officially announced today.
The daring exploit occurred off the
Balmatian Islands, on the Austrian
side of the Adriatic. IL the pur-
suit which followed, an. Austrian
destroyer was badly damaged.
Italian light naval forces have
thus disposed of three of the
largest ships in the Austrian navy
within a few weeks. A short time
ago a mysterious Italian craft
since described as an electrically
propelled sea tank '-penctrated
the defenses Of Pola harbor and
sank an Austrian dreadnaught of
the Viribus Units class. This
class originally consisted Of four
vessels. They are of twenty
thousand tons displacement, carry
twelve twelve-inch and twelve
fve-inch guns and have a compile
ment of 962 to 968 men.
