Eafly Action Forcscen.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Senate Repub-
lican leader today forecast early action
In filling vacancies and making COM
mittee changes resulting from the
death Of Senator Boies Penrose. It
was expected that Senator Brandegee
mittee onA Acommittees, would issue
call soon. probably by the end of the
week, for meeting of the committee
to act on necessary changes,
The rule of seniority has been strict
ly adhered to in the senate and there
were no Indications that a precedent
would be established by varying from
however, are largely in the hands of
the powerful committea on COM
ii j; With. tho IA --tas.,:aty that
Senator McCumber OF North Dakota
will succeed to the craftsmanship Of
the finance committee, over which Mr..
Peurose had long. presided. there will
arise q vacancy in the craftsmanship
of the committee on pensions, now
held by the North Dakota senator.
On that committee, Senator Smoot Of
Utah is the ranking Republican and
leaders said he undoubtedly could
have the place II he desired it.
Smoot In Ranking Position
Senator Smoot is thus brought into
ranking position on two Of the most
important committees Of the senate,
finance and apportions.
There was the suggestion among
Republican leaders that Senator FIRE.
linghuysen of New Jersey would be
named as the new Republican mem
ber of the finance committee. This
selection, it was explained would fol-
low seniority as we'll as maintain the
balance which it has been sought to
have on all committees with respect
to representation of east and west.
Should Mr.. Frelinghuysen not care
for the place, it was stated authorita-
lively. Senator Edge of the same state
would be the next In line through
the policy Of balancing as far as pos
sible the sectional representation.
There were few hints as to who
would be named to vacancies in the
naval, immigration and banking and
| currency committees occasioned by
the death of the Pennsylvania senator.
II the seniority rule is followed, how
ever, western senators will be given
places on the naval and banking and
currency committees and an eastern
man will be added to the immigra-
/ tion.
Senators said today that the change
in the Craftsmanship of the finance
committee, now deep in the drafting
of a new tariff law, would occasion
no change in the policy or the goal
outlined when the measure reached
! the committee from the house.

New Forest Pest.

Boise, Idaho-M Millions of feet of
standing merchantable timber in
Idaho is threatened with destruction
by new pest just recently discovered
according to |. H. Nash. state land
commissioner, who has just returned
from the Payette lakes region where,
he says, the evidences are most pro.
nounced. 1t Is also prevalent around
New Meadows and Long Valley.
This newest of pests in the pine
forests of the west first appears 10 the
form Of harmless looking white
butterfly. The butterfly lays eggs in
the fall and these hatch in the spring
in the form of worms which attack
the pine needles and gradually kill the
tree.
Estimates by the assistant super
visor of the Idaho national forest
place the numbero Of feet of timber
threatened with destruction at 100,-
10000 feet. Forest officials are
much alarmed about the presence in
Idaho of this pest and are hoping
that some natural agency will come
along and exterminate the pest. Mr.
Nash says he has not known OF the
presence of this worm any other place
n the state.
Federal and state officials are pre-
pairing to investigate the activities OF
the new forest pest which is reported
to be destroying large acreages OF
timber 10 the vicinity of Payette
lakes, New Meadows and Long Valley.
Inspection parties left Wednesday
and Others will 90 Thursday.
The pest appeared first ia the form
of-a white butterfly, whose eggs hatcn
into small worms. These worms at
tack the pine needles and gradually
kill the tree. Experts have been uD'
able to determine to what species they
belong.
