ton in this instance was made
while Republican leaders of the
house were trying to agree upon
the speediest method of disposing
of the whole question.
The meeting of the foreign af-
fairs committee, called to obtain
the views of Secretary Colby, was
postponed because of the secreary's
inability to attend, but there were
many informal conferences by both
parties at which would send AM
erican troops to Europe or Asia.
Chairman Porter indicate that the
presidents message would be con-
sidered briefly and then laid on he
table which would end it.
Inasmuch as the senate had fall
ed to ratify the treaty, with its
league of nations covenant, Repub-
lican members of the house COM
mittee declared there were legal
objections to the presidents pro-
posal. They contended that - ac-
cept a mandate would be like in1i-
rectly that congress had not psf-
mitted to be done directly.

WILSON ORDERS SHEARING
OF WHITE HOUSE SHEEP

Washington, May 26.-Woodrow
Wilson, sheep raiser, will harvest his
annual crop of wool Tuesday. The
White House flock, including forty
six sheep, twenty-six of which have
abundant yields of wool, will be
sheared on order of the President.
How the fleece will be disposed of
has not been made known. Last year
the wool was given to the American
Red Cross and auctioned to the high
est bidders. The 1919 yield averaged
five pounds sheep, and netted the
Red Coss a considerable sum.
The decision to shear the flock is
believed to have been hastened by a
;..esire of the President to make the
,heep more presentable to sightseers.
Removal of the flock from the south
part Of the White House grounds to
the lawns in front may have benefit
ted the sheep, but it has given an
unsightly appearance to the hereto
fore well-kept lawns Of the Pennsyl-
vania side.

NATIONAL FOREST RE-
CE|PTS SHOW GROWTH

The receipts from National Forest
business in the North Pacific District
for the six months ending December
81, 1913, We're $238,968.S2, an in
crease Of s|41,552.40 over the re-
ceipts for the corresponding six
months in 1918, according to a state
ment Of net receipts by forests and
classes just compiled by H. 1. Loving,
District Fiscal Agent.
Timber sales, which brought in
~$215,952.7O, is the leading item;
$6,447.86 came from water power;
~$5,288.86 from special use permits;
~$3,774,74 from grazing permits;
and 5000 from timber settlement.
More than $1,000 of the total re-
ceipts came from fire, grazing, and
timber t~respass. Six Forests Of the
District contributed more than S10,-
600 each to the total. The Whitman
National Forest, in Eastern Oregon,
led the District with $~46,084.82. The
Tongass, in Alaska, was second, with
$44,169.6G; and the Crater, in Sou

Forest Service Anticipates New Use
for Yellow Pine Forests.
The use Of western yellow pine as
a source Of ~turpentine and resin is
anticipated in a report regarding the
possibilities Of extracting naval
stores from the yellow pine trees on
the National Forests Of this territory
just completed by Forest Examiner
r. II. Weitknecht Of the District For
ester's Office. The report, together
with a proposed policy for the De-
partment to follow, has been sent to
the Washington Office for ~considera-
ton.
While in France as an officer in
the Field Artillery, Captain Weltk-
necht had an opportunity to see tur-
pentining in the maritime pine for
ests on the Bay Of Biscay and learn
ed something of the French methods
which are applicable in this country.
The yellow pine forests of the
South Atlantic and Gulf States are
fast disappearing and the industry
must seek new fields. The study on
which this report is based was under
taken in anticipation Of the possible
moving west Of the turpentine indus

.ry Previous experiments conduct
ed tv the Forest Service have shown
THAT western yellow pine Yields a
-aa5 grade Of pitch, from which
urpeut5ue and rosin are made.
tHeueh the amount of the yield Of
Oregon trees was very much less
than those Of Florida. When the de-
mand for these products becomes
Keen enough it is not unlikely that
,ae industry will establish itself on
the Pacific Coast and thus may give
d5it,onal value to the extensive yell
low pine forests of eastern Oregon
and Washington.
Tie local Office Of the Forest Ser
vice hopes that its Appropriation for
juNestigative work may be large en-
ough to enable it to carry on addi-
tional studies this year, which would

Dogs Talented in Comedy
and They Provide Many
Good Laughs for Owners

II Is not generally known, but dogs
are In many instances real comedians.
Those who have made close study
Of CANNES long ago came TO this con-
clusiOn. The gift is not confined to
any one breed. Some OF the stunts
done by fox terriers are not only
laughable, but they show the dog to
he natural born comedian.
A woman recently owned valuable
fox terrier which was so much of q
comedian that he kept the household
in a state Of constant good humor.
The dog never had been taught the
tricks he performed, and the most In
teresting part Of ii was, he liked to
show off when the house was filed
with guests. The terrier seemed TO
know that he was creating laughs. One
thing he did was trick that would
be hard for the average person to be-
lieve unless he witnessed It. II was
a performance he went through to
avoid having his coat put on in the
winter months, when maid took him
for walk.
When the dog saw the maid APP
preaching with the coat he would hang
his head. One evening when a party
OF guests were present the dog CON
ceived new scheme of trying to
arouse sympathy, so he could get out
of having his coat put on. When the
maid called to him he looked around
the room, and then, quick as flash
he started to run to the different cor
ners as II looking for rats. He was as
serious as judge sitting on bench
once or twice he stopped to see what
effect his performance was having,
then he looked at the maid, waggng
his tail with an expression on his face
which seemed to say: "Now you won't
make the put on the coat after that"
The guests caught the idea, and a
wave Of hearty laughs came from all
sides.
