WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 81
A large part of the state of Vermont
IS now practically a great Christ
mas tree farm, according to the
American Forestry Association, and
one which is being badly oVerwork-
ed. This state furnishes annually
about 5000, 900 trees for decorative
purposes. These trees + by far
the most profitable crop which
many hill sections of the state can
grow, but unless the cutting is bat
ter regulated the association says,
the crop win &c exhausted. Re-
forestra.ion Of large areas and bet
ter fire protection are also needed.
the association gives us a most
interesting account Of all h ever
green plants which suddenly invade
the cities about this time OF the
year. Christmas trees, it says, are
mostly either frs or spruces. The
balsam fir is unquestionably the
best known aad most widely distrib-
utsd OF our native frs. 1t is one OF
the most beautiful evergreen trees

quenls boys, swamps, and other wet
places. The baIsam fir is a tree
which satisfies many human wants,
but the greatest of all its gifts is
the Christmas tree. AS u Christ
mas tree it has no superior.
The European fir. so common
throughout many parts OF Continen-
tai Europe, has many ch~aracteris-
ties in common with cur balsam fir.
1t, too. has beer. used for centu-
ries as a Christmas tree.
Careful examination Of the trunk
Of the balsam will reveal a large
number of little blisterlike sacs OF
balsam. If one takes a knife and
punctures them the balsam Will
flow freely. This talsam when re-
fined is used in our scientific labo-
ratories to attach cover glass 10
microscopic slides. Balsam is re-
gardel as an excellent medicine in
the treatment of throat and pull
troubles. Many mountain
GERS collect the balsam from the
blisters on the trees and then store
it away for family use. 1t is a con-
mon practice in the north woods to
collect large quantities of balsam
leaves and use them for filling pill
lows and cushions, for the leaves
when dried emit q very fragrant
balsam odor. The wood is soft, does
not contain resin passages and
ranges in color from white to brown
IL weighs about "a pounds per cubic
foot and is used extensively in the
manufacture of paper pulp, crates
and packing boxes.
There are 20 different kinds of
spruce trees in the world. All of
them are beautiful evergreen trees.
They occur in every country in the
northern hemisphere. Eight Of
them are native to North America,

SUMMER SCHOOL
CAMP PROPOSED

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph A. Hill of Hill
Military Academy were visitors in
Hood River a few days ago. They are
planning to have summer school for
boys, as many parents want their sons
to enjoy the fine climate of Oregon
during the summer months. The ca
dets at the school are from all parts of
he Northwest and one boy comes from
Fairbanks, Alaska, and another from
Fresno, Cal, two extremely different
climates. To get to Portland Merwin
Anderson, the Alaska cadet, had to
walk over 200 miles before he reached
means of transportation. Several
boys from this part of the state attend
the academy. The cadets will go to
Fort Stevens, at the mouth of the CO.
lumbia, in May for a brief encamp-
ment and special lessons in military
matters.
Walter Gerke, city arborculturist for
the Bureau of Parks of the City of
Portland was here Sunday with Mr..
Hill giving expert advice on sites that
were inspected for summer school.
The camp would be great attraction
as many parents and friends would
come to visit their children and young
friends and considerable money would
be spent in the place where the camp
is located, Mr.. Gerke said Some of
the towns of the mountain district and
some of the beaches are trying to get
the camp.

e N. train by Officers Webster and
SIaton and held as suspects IN the rob
berry and shooting OF Carl Nelson,

moved coveralls. worn over business

to be on the alert for men answering
their description. A search revealed
that the men had only about $8 each,
which they claimed had been paid them
for ranch work They proved an alibi
when Wasco authorities investigated.
The Dalles robbery was one of the
boldest ever perpetrated in this vicin-
ity. The two hold up men stepped
from the railroad track while Nelson
was on an evening walk. One pointed
revolver at his heart, keeping 1t
concealed from other pedestrians, and
ordered him to obey or be shot. Mel
son was escorted across the tracks to a
clump Of willows. A dozen persons
awaiting a train witnessed the affair,
believing that the three men had met
by chance and were out for friendly
stroll. The man was searched, the
robbers taking his watch and $500 in
money. Then, fearing that an alarm
would be given before they could make
good their escape, the hold up men de-
liberately shot their victim, supposed
ly killing him, and threw the body in
the river. Mr.. Nelson was revived by
the cold water. He swan ashore and
crawled nearly a mile to the Glenwood
hotel. A rib had DETECTED the bullet.

Colonel George A. White has written
an interesting story Of the patriotic
response of Oregons men of fighting
age to the nations call in 1917. The
history, for that is what Mr.. Whites
story really is, of Oregon's mobiliza-
tion is appearing IN serial form in the
Sunday Oregonian. The first Of the
series was presented last Sunday. 1t
is a record of which every Oregonian
is proud. Those who were in close
touch with events of 1917 will vouch-
safe that the states achievement in
volunteer mobilization, as well as the
dispatch with which provision the cleo
tive draft law was carried out, was
due in no small measure to Mr.. White,
who. as adjutant general, probably
worked harder than any Of the many
jealous patriots Of those stirring days.

Expressions of grief and regret from
the high and the low, Catholic and
Protestant, were heard last Friday
when word was sent over the nation
that Cardinal Gibbons had succumbed.
Cardinal Gibbons at the age of Ia
years was a lowly grocer's boy. He
died, aged 81 years, having attained
the highest honors to be conferred by
his church on an American priest. He
had become a national figure and his
words on public affairs were given res
pectful attention by all, regardless of
religious belief. His was a useful cit
izenship to his church and his nation.

hope that the relief will come before
the crop moves this fall. AS Mr.. Dav-

the past season, what they lost having
been gained by the rail lines. 1t is
time. at least, TO share the burdens.
