The act, however, provides that
commissioner loans may be made
until February /, 1910 and removes
the limitation on the amount of the
assets of the Federal Farm Mort
gage corporation that may be used
in closing these loans. In addition
to providing funds for emergency
refinancing purposes, Commissioner
loans may now be made to finance
purchase of farms. Corporations
engaged in livestock raising are
also made eligible for Commissioner
loans, provided IS per cent of the
shares of the corporation are own
ed by persons actually raising live
stock on the land offered as secur-
ity, and they assume personal liza
bility. The same provision applies
now on Land bank loans.
"This broadening of the act in re-
spect to Commissioner loans makes
many farmers eligible who formerly
could not qualify" Mr.. Healy ex-
plains especially providing new
opportunity for tenants and young
farmers to finance the purchase of
a farm of their own on more fav-
orable terms than have ever before
been available"

the Rogue River national forest
according to the report, where SO
fires were set on the Dead Indian,
klamath and Butte Falls ranger
districts. On the Whitman nation
al forest including part of the Blue
mountain district of eastern Ore
gon, lightning caused 81 fires. The
Fremont forest in the vicinity of
Lakeview, Oregon, ranked third as
sufferer from lightning fires.
Biggest Fire In Chelan Forest
The largest blaze of the period
was an 81 acre incendiary fire on
land under forest service protection
ouside the boundaries of the Che
Ian national forest in Washington.
The favorable record thus far in
reaching and controlling fires is
attested by the fact that of the en-
tire 166 fires reported all but six
were corralled before they had COW
cred an area in excess of 10 acres,
say forest officials.
These officials call attention to
the Importance of public coopera-
ton during this critical season in
preventing fires caused by careless
ly guarded campfires or carelessly
dropped matches and cigarettes.
The U. S. forest service "box
score" of Geographic fire informa-
ton from the $50 national forests
of the United States showed that
forest service protective crews prior
to July were fighting an average of
% fires each day. An average of
20 of these fires were man caused
mainly from unguarded campfires,
carelessly dropped matches, cigar
cites and similar sources.
National forests in the first half
of 1885 had 1898 fires as again g.
459 for the same period last year.
However, 1902 of the 1885 fires were
man caused as against 2,279 for the
first half Of last year

Talk Sen. Smith
For State Office
Senator From This County Men
toned For Lieutenant
Governor Post
(Entiat Tirnes)

(EQClaC I1IIl6S)
The name of Reno Odlin, the
gentleman from Olympia who made
such splendid campaign against
Louis Schwellenbach-and Demo-
cratic landslide last year, has been
mentioned as a possible candidate
for governor on the Republican
ticket, with State Senator Horace
Smith, of Omak, as his running
mate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
There are just two things, or pos
sibly three, wrong with the picture.
First, it is just possible that Mr.
Odlin may not yearn for another
incursion into state politics, having
been left with a considerable amount
of campaign expenses, guaranteed
by supporters, to make good person
ally. Then there is chance that
Senator Smith and his friends
might want the picture reversed
with Smith the candidate for gov
ernor. And then there is the fact
that the idea originated in the fer
tile brain of Nifty Garrett, the sage
of Sumner, the Democratic repre-
sentative from his district.
Regardless of it's origin, the sug-
gestion is a good one, and the Re-
publican party would search a long
time to find a better team to head
their ticket than Reno Odlin and
Horace Smith.

SECRETARY MORGENTHAU
ASKS TO MINT SMALL COINS

WASHINGTON, July 80 -
Secretary of the treasury Henry
Morgenthau already has asked con-
gressional authority to mint one and
five mills coins, it was learned to-
day.
A memorandum on fractional
coins to house and senate commit
tee members supplied information
for drafting legislation which
would permit use of the smallest
coin ever made by the United
States. Authorization is expected to
pass in time to permit circulation
by Labor Day.
The treasury said such fractional
coins were needed in states where
sales taxes are in force such as
washington state, Illinois, Colo
RADIO and Missouri.
John r. SinnOck, engraver at the
Philadelphia mint, will design the
new money unless some other
authorization is provided in the bill
His designs will be subject to ap-
prevail by the fine arts commission
on their artistic merits and by the
secretary of the treasury.
Metallurgists of the mint virtual
ly have agreed the half cent pieces
should be minted from bronze
making them half the size of the
present one cent pieces. Several al
ternatives are under discussion fol
one mill coins, aluminium being
most frequently mentioned.
Treasury experts said the govern
ment will receive neat profit from
their coinage, as on all present
pieces of money.

Remove Beavers
From Farm Lands
Busy Animals Are Being Taken
To Mountains By State Game
Department

With both farm and forest certain
to benefit, the Washington state
game department. has launched its
annual program of live trapping
and moving lowland beavers to the
mountains, where these industrious
animals are conceded to be invalu-
able in preservation of wild life.
From districts where they have
flooded farms, stopped WatcrWorks,
deprecated orchards, and damaged
irrigation bitches, the beavers are
to be transferred to the hills to
build new lakes, irrigate the for
ests, and by curbing erosion pro-
vide more even run-offs from noun
tain watersheds, the state game de-
partment reveals.
Game department men are now
out with their traps, which look
like large suitcases with aluminium
frames encasing Melted steel wire.
The trappers know just where to
make their sets, for all year long
game protectors all over the state
have placed on file the exact loca-
ton of any damage doing beaver
colony At state game department
headquarters these beaver colonies
are carefully charted. Now that this
years offspring are old enough to
care for themselves, the proper time
for beaver trapping has arrived
Take Trouble Makers
Care is taken by the department
trappers to take only lowland beav-
ers that have been trouble makers.
No animals are taken promiscuously.
After being trapped alive the ami
mails are transported by trucks as
quickly as possible in closely woven
wire cages. Caution is taken in
selecting new homes where the
beavers will be beneficial, and yet
have plenty of food available.
Last summer one eastern Wash
ington game protector took IS
beavers alive in irrigation bitches.
With these animals protected under
the state game code they are null
tiplying rapidly and as a result the
game department. outlines more eX-
tensive programs each year.
The state game department. has
carried on this program since state
game control was inaugurated two
and one-half years ago. 1t is an ex-
pensive undertaking, but game Off
Gals are satisfied that it is well
worth while as a means Of aiding
forest and wild life in general, and
helping prevent floods and other
detrimental results of erosion.
