If the people or t.hU di.L.iui are willing to cooiier.ue, the .Nniional Fon?st Service o:pet9 to collect onottga Douglas fir seed this lail to grow tho enormous total of 7i"0,OUO,000 new trees. And for such assistance the Government Is willing to pay a good price. The plan coutemplutes the secur ing of nt least 20, 000 "sacks or 30. 000 bushels ot seed cones, nnd from each sack there' will bo cleanejl nt least one puund of seed, which will grow approximately 25,000 new trees. To make tho big movement all tho more certain of success In case the- people of tho district pitch in nnd gather Beed cones, the Forest Service has announced thnt there Is an ex ceptionally heavy crop of Beed cones this year and thnt the avcrngo col lector can make about as good wages as a nimble hopplckor. The collect ors who havo rcccntl started out In Southwestern Washington and In parts of tho Willamette Valley have beonuiblo to mnko from $3 to $5 u day, nnd the seed cones nro coming In nt a grnt'.fylng rnto, even with tho picking season Just begun. Tho Gov ernment hns nlrondy received several tons of the cones for shipment to the extracting plant at Wyeth, Ore. It requires no skill or experience to make n nice piece of money in gathering the cones, nnd cases hnve been reported in the InBt few dnyb whore Bchool chlldron havo been nble to mnko as high as $15 or $20 by skirmishing around among tho young coniferous trees nnd selling them to Undo Sam. Anothor 'factor In tho prosont cam paign of roforostntlon Is one that should npponl to overy local Oregon limn, womnn or child, foi tho Gov ernment is trying to patronize home Industry In Its work. Heretofore, tho Forestry Service hns boon com pelled to Import nil tho seed used from Europe, oven in roplpnlsHng tho burned or loggod-off Boctlons. In splto of tl'o fart that Oregon and Washington nro In one of tho licnvl out timbered 'bolts In the world nnd tho cones are oxtraordlnnrlly plenti ful.

S. Cable Business, Showing Capacity of the Cables and the Proportion Now Utilized. Proposed RftotiiificiatRon of Existing Arrangements A provisional modification of an arrangement wh,!ch has existed for many years has been reached between the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, The Anglo-American Cable Company and the Direct U. S. Cable Company, under which the cable sys tems of these companies now worked exclusively in business connection with each other, but operated and maintained oeparately. will be opcr- i atcd in direct physic il connection i with each other nnd with the Western I Union land system. Two objects are to be attained by I this arrangement: Firtt, more efficient and economf cat operation. SuconJ, tho introduction of new formt of lervice to tin advantage of the public. The Trans-Atlantic Cable Situation and Competition The trans-Atlantic cable situation Is as follows : The Mackiiy group of seven ca bles, including the German cables, owned by or worked in physical con nection with the teloiii.vph lines of that company form one ntcni. The Kronen cables coinprlue nn In dependent system, using both the Western Union and tho tiackay land lines for their United State" connec tion. In competition with those is the Western union group of cables, eight in all, owned by three separate com panies, two of which are HritUh companies owning five of the eight cables. Two only of the Britith owned cablet terminate in the United StatoM and all of them are entiicly depen dent an the Western Union for their connection with any telegraph $ystem, or far their reaching any centre of buiineii, and are note Worked cxclu lively, ao far ai butine$i it concerned, , with the Wettern Union. Efficiency Increased, Waste Prevented The proposed arrangement between the Western Union, the Anglo. Amer ican and the Direct U. S. companies will bring the eight cables of the three companies under one operating con trol. The consequent increase in effectiveness und economy will place the Western Union in a position to offer certain advuntuges In cable service not now enjoyed by tho public. The other way open to enable the Western Union to make such Im provements and Introduce such new services as it proposes to do, would be to lay new cables. This would seem to be the height of folly. Duplication of the existing trims Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of many millions, when there mc mure than ample facilities for all bustness, would put an unnecessary financial burden upon an already fully burdened business and would probably postpone the reduction of rates or Introduction of new services. i Limited Business Hours and Idle Facilities As at present carried on, the trans Atlantic cable business is practically all flash service, . . instantaneous. Owing to the difference in time, there are only a few business hours of the day common to both sides and during these hours at least 75 of the cable business is done. This is demon strated by the accompanying chart. In the interests of international business nothing should be done to interfere in any way with the so-called flash or instantaneous service, and the lines should be kept clear to ac commodate such messages during the few business hours common to both countries; but to continue to confine the cables to this class of service, as at present, will utilize onlyaboutasft of the existing capacity of millions of property and places on that limited service all the capital, maintenance and operating charges. The limited time and the character of tho business, if best results are to be obtained, demand direct cable cir cuits between principal centres of tho two sides of the Atlantic, as well as 'special circuits devoted to special business. Efficient Service Requires Sufficient Facilities To meet these requirements it Is essential not only that there be ut all times sufficient cable facilities, under one control, but that they should be operated interchangeably with each other and In close physical connec tion with land linea as one system. Ample spare facilities aro necessary to provide against the very frequent cable interruptions. Neither the Western Union nor any one of the companies of the Western Union group has.independently of tho others, facilities enough to handle the business which at times any one company might bo called upon to take care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable Interruption. Nor could any one company furnish all the direct circuits necessary for efficient service, al though the combined facilities of these companies are ample If thev could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably. " As It Is, each company operates Its own cables through separate and dis tinct offices and under separata and distinct management. All interchange of business is by actual transfer ottbe business from one company to the ' other, with the consequent delay and interruption of n service In which seconds are valuable. Daily and Week-end Cable Letter So toon at the proposed arrange ment goet into effect, the Wettern Union purposes, with the consent of the British Post Office Department, to introduce at least two new feature or services in addition to the proposed deferred rate the DAILY CABLE LETTER and the WEEK-END CABLE LETTER at a very law rate for cable service only. This will enable the public to save the tix to eight dayt consumed in the trans-Atlantic passage of mails. Monopoly of Cable Business Impossible There is no cable monopoly pos sible. The three systemsthe Western Union, the French and the Mackay wil continue to exist. The Mackay Companies is a hold ing organization with no physical property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, operat ing control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all the various properties are operated as one system to great advantage in service over what could be given by these same companies if operated separately. The French cables form another system. The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating control aver the present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in the trans-Atlantic cable business: i BETTER SERVICE. Thlswlllba insured by more efficient and econom ical working resulting from single direction over the operations of both cableSand land lines. 3-PUBUC AD VANTA CES. The greater part of the cable capacity has been and is now unutilized. It will continue to lie dormant and unutilized under existing conditions and tradi tlons, The Western Union purposes to make these wasted facilities useful to the public by means of new kinds of cable service. In addition, the Western Union in tends to nationalize its land lines by opening them to all trans-Atlantic cable companies. . THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY New York, Sept. 1st, 1911. Theo. N.
