Newly embroidered linens may be
kept in their original whiteness until
needed for use, by dipping them in
very blue water after washing. When
dry, they should be folded without
ironing, and put away. When the
time comes to use them, they must
be washed again, and will come out
as freshly white as when first made.

TIMBER MEN BUCK DEEP SNOW


An interesting trip on snow shoes
was made short time ago by Bob
Anderson of Sargent, Superintendent
of the Trinchera Timber Company, in
company with Forest Rangers Jesse
l. Trickel of Pitkin and S. D.. Ander-
son of Gunnison. The party bunked
at Waunita Hot Springs, and the
hardship of bucking deep, soft snow
for several days was offset by piping
hot baths in the big pool at the
Springs.
The trip was the result OF a call
by Mr.. Anderson on Forest Super
visor Kreutzer at the Gunnison For
est Office to secure information as to
the feasibility of getting out tie and
prop timber above Waunita.
wagon was used for the first six
miles of the trip from Doyle to Wau-
nita, and from there ON the party
was forced to take to skis and webs,
as the depth of snow made further
progress by team impossible. An
attempt was made to reach fine
body of timber lying in basin at.
the head of Box Canon, but, altho
this basin was not attained, good
general view of the timber and the
lay of the land was secured
A body of excellent lodgepole tie
and prop timber lies on the Tomichi
slope of the Tomichi-Q Quartz creek
divide, just east and north of the old
mining camp. of Bowerman. This
timber was reached by the party af-
ter long, hard pull on webs, the 60
ing being made especially difficult
by the rotten, thinly-crusted snow
which broke thru every few steps and
was so deep as to almost cover the
fences in Waunita Park.
Mr.. Anderson of the Trinchera
Timber Company states that the only
feasible way of hauling timber from
this region to the railroad at Doyle
is by trucks, distance OF from
eleven to sixteen miles, as the cost
of hauling such distance by wagon
is prohibitive. He already has one
feet of twelve to fifteen trucks ready
for work on the Cochetopa Forest
above Sargent.
The timber will be gone over more
thoroughly as soon as the snow goes
and thorough estimate or timber
survey will be made by Forest Ofh-
GERS Anderson and Trickel, prepara-
tory to making an appraisal for one
or more sales. This timber is mature
and over-mature, and is deteriorating
in quality and can be cut over to ad-
vantage under the conservative super
vision of the Forest Service e-LGunni-

Memorial Cottages.

The number OF lives the war took
has not been adequately reckoned. The
number Of families it broke up is like
wise uncounted. Yet right after 1t we
have greater shortage of housing
than ever. There Is interest in this
connection in letter to the London
Spectator, evidently from one Of the
sufferers of the war. 1t contains sug-
gestion which may or may not be new
in this country.
The writer calls attention to an
article in the London Chronicle tell
ing of the building Of 12O cottages for
ex-service men in Westmoreland,

not clear to him whether these were
built by public or private funds. but

How She Knew.

A Hoosier school teacher received a
very indignant note from one Of her
patrons. demanding that she stop some
boys from annoying her tiny daughter
on the way home from school. Imme-

the teacher began an investigation.
She asked the little girl, allow do
these boys annoy you"

"They cuss me and say terrible
things"
.But how do you know they are

Charles 1Rabot. French physicist,
with reputation for arctic research,
has been elected honorary member Of
the Christiania Geographical society.
In 1892 Mr.. Rabot participated in the
French expedition Of La Manche to
van Mayen and Spitzbergen. He was
the first to travel extensively over
west Spitxbergen and to form correct
conclusions as to its glaciological re-
lations, viz: that west Spftzbergen is
not covered by a connected inland
mass Of ice as is the case with Nor
dostland and Greenland. Among his
many works the most important is,
"Des Variations de Longueur des
Glaciers" (Paris, 1897 and 19O0). He
was the first to make a survey map of
the black ice between Saltenfjord and
Ranefjord, for the time pointing out
that Mt Glaamdalen the black ice is cut
into two parts known rs vestbraen
