DeHaviand type, composing .

The main base will he established
at Camp Lewis and the principal
sub bases located as follows: Spo-

probable that two balloon companies
will be added where areas lack sufri-
cient landing fields.
Although the General staff hasnot
as yet approved the plan, officers of
the Air Service are confident that it
will succeed.
1t is planned to have four patrol
routes radiating from Camp Lewis !:
the one which is of particular inter
est to the people living within or near
the Okanogan and WenatcheeNaton

Leaving Camp Lewis and going due
east over the Cascades to Gle Elum
thence north over Leavenworth.

on the landing facilities available)
north over Lake Chelan to Winthrop
on the Mcthow, thence west again
over the Cascades to Hamilton, Wash.
and south back to Camp Lewis. A.
distance Of over 400 miles. which IN
der the old method of travel Of sad
die and pack horse would require all
summer. This trip will be made in
about five hours and will be covered
daily.
The Air Service will furnish the
planes, and observers and pilots to
operate them. Each plane will be
equipped with wireless sending ap-
paratus and the forest Service will
be equipped with wireless receivin o
apparatus at different points. The
messages and fire reports will then
be Immediately relayed to the differ
ent organizations for action, by te'e
phone or telegraph
In case of large fires the planes
will be made use of for reconnoiter-
ing, ranger or other forest Officer

will be in better position to direct his
forces on the ground From his point
of view he will be able to take in the
entire situation instantly and inform
his men by the use of the wireless

gone, how serious it is and how best
to control its progress or how much
Importance one section bears to the

Many Mills Closed,
Wool Market Slow
Says Larry Holden

Forecasts of little activity in the
wool market for at least three or four
months were made Friday night by
Larry G. Holden, one of the veteran
buyers of wool through Montana, who
arrived in Great Falls to remain until
the end of the buying season. Mr..
Holden is registered at Hotel Rainbow:
According to Mr.. Holden, many Of
the mills have shut down or are run
ming only part time, most of them be-
ing operated on a three-day week
basis. The money market being tight
adds another deterrent to any marked
activity in the wool business and until
those factors have been improved, Mr..
Holden believes the situation will not be
materially bettered.

After a trip over the Sun River ir
rigation project, George 0. Sanford, its
manager, returned to the U. S. reciama-
ton headquarters in the city Friday
well pleased with the outlook. He says
that there has been some damage by
cutworms on Greenfield bench, but tlat
notwithstanding there is going to De
a splendid return this year.
"Fields which had been attacked by
the cutworms have been irrigated and
as the water gets into the worms they
come to the surface and are found dead
by the hundreds" said Mr.. Sanford.
I'VE hope the damage has been
stopped"
Mr.. Sanford says that the weather
gauge shows there has been during June
the following amount of rainfall. IN
inches over the project:
Sun river diversion dam ........ 1.32
Willow creek reservoir .......... l.5l

These records would suggest that the
rainfall on the project has been bit
lighter than in Great Falls, the total
for June here being, up to Friday night,
1.76 inches.
In the Sun river valley, according to
Mr.. Sanford, the crops are about as
fine as they have ever been there. The
alfalfa is excellent and the potato crop
is quite promising.
