AMPLE WATER SUPPLY SEEN
IN WESTERN SNOW SURVEYS

Sufficient water for irrigation and
hydroelectric purposes seems assured
this season is the Rocky Mountain
and Pacific Coast States, according to
preliminary reports of survey
ing parties now in the field under the
direction of the Weather Bureau of
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The work of measuring the
depth of the snow in various places
and computing the snow density in
order to calculate the amount of real
water that will be available is at
present confined to Utah and Nevada.
Through other indications, the
Weather Bureau is satisfied that
there will be plenty of water in Ari-
ona this year so the survey does not
include that state. Conditions at
present in Nevada and Utah are re-
ported to be about average In Ore
gon, Washington and Wyoming some
what above the average amount of
water may be expected, while in Ida
no and Montana the heavy snowfall
points to a greater supply of water
than usual. This service of the
Weather Bureau is of special value to
farmers in irrigated districts, who
will not plant heaveily unless they
know that sufficient water will be
available. Hydroelectric companies
by means of this information can
guage the power and service for
which they should contract.

DON'T DROP LIGHTED CIGARS
ON WOODEN-FLOOR BRIDGES

Don't throw away your cigar or
cigarette when crossing bridge with
a wooden floor, advises the Bureau of
Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. 1t may
start fire that will destroy the
bridge
Many such fires are started. Most
cf them are put out with small dam
age, but occasionally a large struc-
ture is destroyed. 1t seems strange
that steel bridge should be destroy
ed by fire, but heat from a burning
floor may cause the destruction of
the whole bridge by softening; the
breaking of one weakened member
will cause the whole span to drop into
the river. On some large bridges a
watchman is kept TO guard against
this danger, and in a dry season fires
have been known to occur almost
daily.
A committee composed Of a repre-
sentative of the bureau and represen-
tative Of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, the lumber and creo-
sote industry, and the Engineering
magazine, is now investigating tie
subject and considering the best
means Of protection.

THE CLUB LUNCHEON.

The attendance at the Commercial
club luncheon Friday was about thir-
ty and very fine repast was enjoyed
Those serving were Mesdames A
Lessing, J. c. Roberts. C. F. johnson
VIM. Mcintosh, VIM. Titus and Frank
B. Slavin with Mrs. F. A. Constable
as cashier.
In the absence of President Frank
Hennessey, Mr.. R. F. Taylor presid-
ed at the business meeting.
A communication from the Seattle
chamber of commerce, relative to in
quires coming from people through
out the East and Middle West max
ing inquiries about the West and par
tlcularly this state, was read and the
sense of the meeting was that our
publicity committee prepare to
answer their questions; but it was de-
cided to center our efforts on caring
for the tourists who come through.
For this purpose motion was passed
for the appointment of a committee
of two or three to visit the camp
grounds every evening and supply the
tourists present with all informa-
tion available. Committees will
therefore appointed to serve a few
days, to be followed by others until
the end of the season.
A communication was also read re-
garding the Smith -McNary bill,
which is to provide for national par
in irrigation, and a motion
was passed endorsing the measure
and asking that it be passed as soon
as possible. The legislative COM
mittee was instructed to draw a prop
er resolution and forward it to our
congressman and to communicate
with the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce.
Mr.. Taylor reported that the road
along the shore of Lake Wenatchee
was under construction and would
soon be opened.
The members decided to gather at
the camp grounds Monday evening to
complete the work on the grounds.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the ladies for the luncheon.

33 years and fills the theatres

FIGHTING CATTLE T. b. is
SUCCESSFUL BY AREA PLAN.

In addition to systematic eradca-
ton Of cattle tuberculosis by the ac-
cIedited-herd plan, interest in the
"area plan" as it is called, has lately
developed in many states, according
to the report issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture de-
scribing progress during March. The
eradication of tuberculosis under the
comprehensive plan generally in
cludes a county as a unit and all the
cattle in the county are tested The
report shows that in states where the
eradication work was concentrated in
certain localities in an effort to wipe
out the disease entirely, great many
more animals were tested than in
states where the area plan is not yet
followed to any appreciable extent.
In the one month Nebraska work
ing with the area plan, tested 21,O0O
cattle A number of other states
made high records as a result of the
concentration of effort in a few coun-
ties. During March, Michigan test
ed 1887 head; New York, 1906;
Missouri, 1879; Indiana, 1888;
Wisconsin, Hts; Iowa 1,250; and
Tennessee S,455. The total number
tested in all TIE states during the
month was 22S.779
The area plan of testing is a valu-
able supplement TO accredited-herd
work which has resulted in the eradi-
cation of many thousand head Of tu-
berculous cattle and the establish
ment of more than $4,000 herds ac-
credited as free from the disease.
There are now more than 305,OOO
accredited cattle in the country; over
1,250000 tested once and found free
of tuberculosis; more than 2,133,000
under supervision; and about 40s,000
on the waiting list. Wisconsin leads
in number of accredited cattle with
36,1S3. and Minnesota follows with
33.759. However, the rate at which
the work is going on in some other
states. these two will have to keep
very busy TO stay at the top.

comparative merits could be consid-
cred through culling.
The 8 standard bred fiocks num-
bered 1,087, while the 9 of mixed
flocks numbered 1,103, or 16 more
hens. The week before culling. the
standard bred hens laid 2,906 eggs
and the mixed breeds 2.547, or 352
less. In culling, 314 standard bred
and 355 mongrel hens were removed
from the fiocks, leaving 773 standard
breds. Two owners of the standard
bred flocks, being breeders, culled
much closer than the owners of the
mixed flocks. The week after culling
the standard bred hens laid 2.724 and
the mongrels 2,433 eggs.
The figures show that among the
1,087 standard bred hens there we're
Al less culls than among the 1,103 of
the mixed flocks, and that they laid
359 more eggs the week before Gull
