GAS MOST VALUABLE: AS FUEL

rect illumination.

Although gas is being used more
than ever before, its direct employ
ment for lighting is almost a thing OF
the past. Our modern 'gas lights" are
chiefly burners where tha light is not
given cut oy she gas at all. 1t is mixed
with air to produce a dim blue fame
with great heating power. This flame
serves to heat q mantle of min
eral salts white hot, and it is this in
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas is used not for it's light,
but for its heat; and it is as a fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently in England by President
Harry Jones of the Institution of Civ
il Engineers, and reviews by Nature
Gondon), not Fer cent Of the WHOLE
gas OUTPUT is now used for direct il
Elimination, so that the name "sas
light company" has become some
thing of a misnomer. The use Of gas
as fuel, President Jones. says, has re-
ceived special development during the
war, and the ready applicability of gas
appliances to the rapid making of mu-
nitions in emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr.. Jones quoted
high official of the British war office
as follows:
"Without the direct aid of the gas
industry it would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
to wage the campaign of the last three
years, or even for any but a trifiing
time resist the Overwhelming floods OF

FORESTRY SCHOOL
DOING MUCH WORK
DEAN MILLER AND STAFF TRY
ING TO SOLVE MANY I'M
PORTANT PROBLEMS

The school of forestry, of the Uni
versity of Idaho, is conducting a Sc
ries of experiments in cooperation
with the school of mines, to ascer-
tain the practicability of extracting
oils from the commercial woods OF
Idaho for use in oil flotation. The
work is being conducted under the
supervision of DIR. F. G. Miller, dean
of forestry, and will be continued
The yield in gallons, per cord, and the
cost of production per gallon were
determined for six leading species of
Idaho timber, but the figures are not
ready to be made public yet. DR.,
Miller said: "Although it is too early
to draw final conclusions, the expert
ments thus far conducted are encour-
aging.
The school of forestry, in coopera-
iont with the national forestry de-
partment, has under way now a study
of the methods of improving the
range in the national forests and pro-
ducing a greater amount of feed for
live stock. A typographical survey
and a complete grazing plan of the
Caribou national forest are being pre-
pared. The school has a duplicate of
the map made by the forestry de-
partment and is trying to work out a
plan for improving the grazing quail
ties of the lands in the reserve. A
study Of the amount of food produc-
ed for stock on ranges as compared
with this, for comparative purposes
is being made.
Now that there is a demand for
logged off lands and other lands for
homes for returning soldiers, the for
estry department has taken up the
study of logged off lands in Idaho
with a view to asdertaining their
to agriculture, grazing
or reforestration. The lands will be
divided into these classes, and used
for the purpose for which they are
best adapted. The investigation ex-
tends to national and state owned
lands and also included lands owned
by private individuals or corporations.

DIR. BAKER TELLS
Of MONTANA TRIP
WELL KNOWN VETERINARIAN
GIVES INTERESTING STORY
OF VISIT TO THAT STATE

DR.. E. T. Baker, of Moscow, has
| just returned from a visit to Mon
tana, where he attended the wool
growers convention, which was a
largely attended and very important
meeting Asked about his trip DR..
Baker said:
''If one is feverish he can certainly
get cooled off in eastern Montana.
There is no snow, but the temperature
is around zero. At Cody, Wyoming,
the weather is like spring; the roads
are smooth and dusty, while the stock
have run out all winter. One sees
hundreds of stacks of hay, which is
selling for around $40 to $12 per ton.
The country greatly resembles that
around Twin Falls.
"Cody is 55 miles east of the yell
lowstone Park, and is noted as the
home of the late Buffalo Bill. The
latter built a large hotel there, and
one of the finest collections of paint
ings depicting frontier life are hung
on its walls. The value of these
amounts to over 100000; l was told
over $4,000 worth being found in the
bar-room. Being from Idaho, of
course, | cannot say how true this
is from personal observation.
s'About five miles from Cody is
the great Shoshone dam, built in a
narrow canyon, resembling the Royal
Gorge of Colorado. This structure
is 1928 feet high, 108 feet wide at the
base; it cost $1,354, 1000, and took five
years to build. Sulphur springs are
numerous as we'll as extinct geyser
craters. Moscow people will find it
a delightful trip to leave at the east
ern entrance, go down the Shoshone
canyon, through Cody and thence up
through Billings. Everywhere is
found good roads, and it brings home
more forcible than ever how much
behind we are in that score.
The Woolgrowers convention was a
huge success, and in addition to an
interesting program, a theatrical
troupe was imported from Chicago,
while F. S. King, of Cheyenne, ex-
hibited a $1,000 Corriedale sheep.
Those Wyoming woolgrowers are sure
royal bunch of entertainers, and
the town people of Cody as hospit-
able as can be found in the west"
