Scudder. professor In farm management. ThlB bulletin describes a new method of land clearing to which the Oregon Ex periment station has given years of study and on which it has reached conviction. jij The new method is a modified "char-plttlng" process In which the fire for burning the stump is started from the Inside, thus overcoming a fault in the old method where a larger percentage of the roots re mained in the ground unburned. The burner method is simple and prac tical. Bv means of the burner parts furnace, hood, draft, pipes and chimney a hold is burned through the base of the stump and the stump converted into a stove. Thus, with its own draft, chimney, and fuel, a fire la developed in the stump inter i n burn out the ....n -nrf mnts.

Wireless re ports of a large vessel afire off Pach ena Point, on the west coast of Van couver Island, if true, will bring the total ships lost in the recent gales to five, with no loss of lives. Extreme doubt was cast this morn- ing by radio operatora on the pos sibility of a passenger vessel burn ing. The cutter Algonquin and the I tug Sea Monarch were reported in ttje vicinity with the tug Algerin nearcy. none or tnese vessels report ed a big vessel burning. Marine cir cles believed this afternoon that the flaming Nika has been driven north ward and waa the burning ship sighted. Whether the crew of the Tuscan Prince, the British freighter, has been saved, Is still In doulit. Some radio points said they have been landed on Vancouver iBland near Estevan, but a radio message from Estevan denies this. The crew of the Santa Rita, wrecked on Vancouver Island near Carmanah Point, have all been tak en to Seattle as also the crew of the burned lumber steamer Nika. The crew of the Coolcha was taken to Seattle yesterday. Storms Are Over. PORTLAND, Feb. 16. The cold wave for the Pacific northwest has been broken. Milder weather is fore casted.

Rudolph Hltzmiin and Johnny 4 Lloyd who happened to be puss- 4 ing, interfered and released the veterans. Huntley broks loose and be- gan hugging a small girl who chanced to be passing and it re- quired considerable exertion to free her. A call was sent in for an offi- cer and the mnt was taken to the jail where he was locked up 4 and a doctor called .

If Roseburg Is able to win this game by a large score It will virtual ly decide the Southern Oregon Cham pionship, although Hoseburg will play return games with both Med ford and Ashland. . . Ashland has a weak team this year, owing to the fact that all ot her veteran players graduated last full, leaving a team composed al most altogether of Inexperienced men.
