FOREST LONG UNDER WATER
Submerged Petrified Trees That Must
Be Centuries Old Removed az
Menace to Navigation.

When the government ship canal
that connects Puget sound with Lake
Washington was opened, the waters OF
the lake were lowered II feet. While
wire-dragging the lake, says a con-
tributor, the United States coast and
geodetic survey discovered subma-
rine forest The tops of the sub
face that they were a menace to nav
'igation. Underwater logging opera
tions TO clear the lake were there
fore started.
1t is thought that the forest is pre-
historic, remnant of one that grew
in the Lake Washington area in the
days when II was dry land; or that
great landslides in remote ages car
ried the trees into the lake.
The trees were without branches
and stood vertical, or nearly so; they
We're semipetrified. The longest trunk
removed was III feet inches. The
top, 10 inches thick, rose to within 4
feet of the surface of the lake. The
butt was feet g inches In diameter,
and the roots, firmly embedded in the
bottom OF the lake. had a 20-foot
spread. 1t was found 1000 feet from
the shore.
Off the south end of Mercer island
In Lake Washington, nearly hundred
trees were destroyed. The cleanup
gave count of mere than hundred
min In =
Of 1920, off Manitou point. The larg-
est trunk in that area stood In 121 feet
of water, LOO feet from shore. The
tree was Ill feet long with a 5-inch
top and a 3-foot butt.
Wherever possible, the trees were
pulled out by the roots. Fastenings
were made to the trunks by dragging
the blight of cable through the water
at The required depth. When the
blight touched the trunk, one end of
the cable was passed through an eye
at the other end. and the loop formed
was run down to the trees. When the
trees were hauled up, they were cut
into 4-foot sections and thrown back
into the lake. Since they were water
logged, they Immediately sank.
Sometimes trunk was caught that
could not be uprooted. Such trees
were blasted off at the top until ves-
sells could pass safely above them.
An idea of the extent Of the submerged
forest and the difficulty of removing
the towering ancient trees may be de-
termined by the time-three years and
six months-that it has taken the en-
gineering corps, working steadily, to
make the lake safe for navigation

ert A. Leroux, national field repre-

IMr. Leroux will do here, but it is
understood that he Is coming for the
purpose of putting new life and
strength into the local organization

the local meeting is to be held for
the purpose of interesting the public
in the program Of Americanization
that is being put on by the Legion
in every section of America The
service men deserve every possible
consideration. For this reason there
is no doubt that the high school

CAR PLuNCEs
INTO RIVER
Occupants Have Narrow Es-
cape When Car Backed
Into River

Mrs. J. M. Holt. Mrs. Celia Brown
and Lulu Brown narrowly escaped
drowning last Sunday afternoon 1T
$3.50. when their Maxwell car backed
up into the Clearwater river about
a quarter of mile below the bridge.
The party had been in town to see
the ball game that was played be-
tween the Kooskia Indians and the
Orofino team. The party started for
their home. about two miles down
the river. Enroute they encountered
mud hole. which Mrs. Brown. who
was driving. tried to circumvent In
so doing. the engine was killed. In
the effort to start the machine, 1t
appears that the lever was inadvert-
emily reversed, so that wnen the
power wa put on, the machine
backed up toward the river Before
the car could be stopped It had
plunged over the thirty-foot en-
bankment and was precipitated into
the river, which is ten feet deep at
that point. Not one Of the occupants
was able to jump from the car be-
fore 1t was lodged in the bottom Of
the river. Mrs. Brown, se1zing her
little daughter, swan with some ef-
fort to the shore. Mrs. Holt, the
mother of Mrs. Brown. seized an in
flated tire tube and placing it
around her body, succeeded In reach
ing the shore, not without quite an
effort however, as Mrs. Holt is quite
aged and carries a considerable
amount of avordupois.
The current was 80 strong that the
car was carried downstream about
hundred yards. turning over several
times enroute.
As the accident took place about
train time. quite a number of people
stood on the station platform and
saw the accident from across the
river. The alarm was sounded i'm

quite number of automobiles and
scores of people were on the scene to
render such assistance as circum-
stances Nigh necessirate. All the
occupants of the car were landed
safely on the shore, however, before
any one arrived to give assistance.
A number of men took ropes and
went after the wrecked car, which
was pulled from it's lodging in the
river bed with ropes pulled by hand
power. The machine was brought to
! the garage in Orofino for repairs.
The top is completely demolished.
, The seats and running boards are al
, so considerably damaged. No serious
damage was done to the machinery.

overflowing last night, when the lad
les gymnasium club gave formal ex
hibition Of their athletic skill, about
thirty participating in the sports.
There were several kinds Of marches
drills and exercises. directed by Mrs.
J. S. Ross, drillmaster.
The exercises were ushered in by
Mrs. Nels Helgeson, who took the
audience by surprise when she ap-
peared in the arena attired in cow
boy paraphernalia. wearing chaps. a
bandana kerchief and broad
brimmed cowboy hat. No detail
was lacking to make up the part
impersonated. not even the accus-
toned quart of "Old Crow" from
which the performer took an occas-
ional nip" the audience furnishing
the accompaniment by cheering vo-
ciferously. Mrs. Helgeson played a
number of selections on an accordi-
an, the other ladies marching to the
music.
High school girls filled in the gar
between acts by peddling popcorn
among the spectators. The proceeds
are to be used for the purchase Of 9

grounds. With the money that may
be left over. some other improve
ments will be made on the grounds
This is a commendable activity. Thu
ladies deserve much credit for thei
interest in public welfare. Such
spirit is destined to usher in a bet
ter day in social affairs in the com

CONTRACT IS LET
! >FORH|GHWAYWORk
Work to Start on Link of
Road Between Peck and
Ahsahka

County Surveyor Edwards reports
the letting of the contract for the
construction Of five ana one-half
miles of new road between Peck and
Ahsahka. Bids were to be opened
today. The great abundance Of un-
employed men is probably responsible
for the fact that seven bids were re-
ceived up to Thursday morning.
Others may follow. This is new
link in the road that will ultimately
connect Orofino with Lewiston. Mr..
Edwards and his crew have been
working on the survey or this link
for some time. When the state final
ly builds It's highway up the Clear
water river. this link will doubtless
become a state highway. The survey
conforms in every respect to the
standards laid down by the state en-
gineer's office. 1t is reported that
another link is in the process OF
construction near LenorS.
Though no official information has
been received, It is believed that the
road between Orofino and Greer will
also be built within q short time.
The surveyors have been at work on
this stretch of road all winter. 1t IL
reported that their work is about
completed for the contractor. This

early childhood she went with her
parents to New Hampshire, where
she received her education in the
public schools, From there the fam

linville, where the young lady was
married November 10. 1858, to l. r.

retail lumber business. The young
couple left some years later for the
southeastern section of Minnesota.
where Mr.. Dresser established lum-
ber yard, which he conducted until
his death in the year 1900.
The widow came to Lewiston to
make her home with her daughter
Mrs. J. d. Jacobs. Last October Mrs
Dresser came to Orofino to spend the
winter with her daughter-in-low
Mrs. Emma r. Dresser. On April %
while coming down stairs. she fell
and dislocated her shoulder. The
shock brought on other complications
and hastened the end. which came
on Tuesday, May 8.
Mrs. Dresser was converted In
early youth and united with ths
Christian Advent Church and re-
mained loyal to her Christian belief
until the end. Her life was living
epistle of her noble character, al
ways abounding in good works. sh'

FIRE DESTROYS
STORE At PECK
Former OrofinO Men Lose
Heavily. Some Insurance
Carried

Word was received here of con-
flagration that nearly took all the
stock of general merchandise carried
by Holmberg and Noftsger at Peck
The fire was discovered after mid
night Monday by the cook In the
Peck hotel, who rooms Just across
the street. He hurried out and
sounded the alarm. The proprietors
and others came to the scene in a
short time, but it was too late to do
effective work. The fire had en-
veloped the building. The fire sys-
tenn being inadequate, very little
stock was saved, estimated at be-
tween $1,000 and $500. The total
stock carried was valued at between
seven and ten thousand The pro-
prietors had just received a new sup
ply of dry goods.
The stock was partly insured. II
is not known by Orofino relatives
whether the firm will start up In
business at Peck again. This is re-
garded as a real calamity to Messrs.
Holmberg and Noftsger, as these
gentlemen purchased the Peck store
only a year ago and had previously
sustained heavy losses in other deals.
The business was the only general
store at Peck and the firm enjoyed a
splendid trade. Their many friends
in Orofino will regret to learn of the
loss sustained.

Fumbles and wild throws lost the
game for Orofino last Sunday on the
home grounds. The visitors played
a consistent game. while the locals
assisted them with errors atall op-
perfume moments giving them seven
runs with only six hits. KoOskia
made six safe hits off Cochran in
four innings. Ball pitched the re-
naming five innings allowing no
safe hits. Orofino batters secured
nine hits which were sufficiently
scattered to yield only two runs.
