SPITZENBERG A pall of smoke still hangs over our hills, but we have some hope that rain will clear it away. The Chapman Improvement Club held Its regulur monthly meeting at the schoolhouse here. The attendance was not large but what it lacked in numbers It made up in enthusiasm. After the business was disposed of there was a "Necktie" party, with lunch, supplemented by loganberry juice and lemonade. The evening passed very pleasantly. There are no I. W. W.s In this vici nity nor disturbing element. All are working for the good of the settle ment. This being a now settlement, farming Is in somewhat of an experi mental stage, and it will take time to find out Just what it Is most profit able to raise. Mr. Fall Is shipping considerable wood to Portland, for which he is receiving a good price. In time this will be quite a shipping point tor produce raised here. COUNTY AGRICUL TURAL NOTES Hy County Agricultural Agent. lota44ew IiiNert(I J. E. Larson, crop specialist, wa3 In the county last Saturday and spent the day with tho county agent Inspecting some of the potato fields, In connection with the seed certifi cation work. Several of the farm ers of the county have entered fields of pure strain potatoes for certifica tion. To sell "certified" seed tho grow er must have his flejd inspected twice during the growing seuson for purity and disease, and once In the bin for tiuality and standard type. Only po tatoes of very high quality will qual ify. Such potatoes are sold for fancy good purposes In scaled hags bearing the brand "Certified Seed Potatoes." This quality of potato generally brings a good premium over common market product and should offer a splendid opening for Columbia coun ty's superior potatoes. Why So The farm drier demonstrations given by Prof. W. 8. Hrown at Scap poose and Warren last week were not so well attonded as they were deserving. Just why the farmers do not respond to such ecort is a mys tery. These demonstrations were in structive and valuable. To be so they wore very expenslvo and exten sive. Certainly our response indi cated poor appreciation after so much ecort had been made to bring about tho work and every effort made to let the people know it was coming. Mules, lioytt, Mule Don't send your mole skins to Portland. The Jos. Stelner & Bros. Fur Co., 115 West 30th St.. New York, Is paying from 10 to 40 cents for the pelts. Listen here, boys, to our plan. Leave the snouts on the pelts when you skin the moles and bring them to the county clerk's office In St. Helens and get the 10 cents bounty. The trimming off of the scalp need not injure the pelt. We ere starting a pool so that we can get all the pelts together. We will then send them to New York In a large quantity nnd try to get more money for them. Send them or bring them in to the county agent's office in the court house. Tho pool will be open until September 15. FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEMONSTRATIONS Celtic 1-oglc Two young Irishmen in a Canadian regiment were going Into the trench es for the first time, and their cap tain promised them five shillings each for every Gorman they killed. Pat lay down to rest, while Mkle performed the duty of watching. Pat had not lain long when he was awak ened by Mike shouting: "They're comin'! They're coniln'!" "Who's comln'?" Bhouts Pat. "Tho Germans," replied Mike. "How many are thore!" "About fifty thousand." "Begorra," shouts Pat, Jumping up and grabbing his rifle, "our fortune's rande!" By D. C. Howard, County Agent The ladles of Columhit county will iie interested in knowing tho final arrangements for the home canning and drying demonstrations to be given during next week.

Prac tically one-fourth of, this Increase came from the national forests of Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Tho cost of oporatlng the forests, about $4,000,000, was virtually tho same as in 1916. The Increase, according to the for estry officials, camo chiefly from a more active timber business and from tho higher fees charged for grazing, although practically every form of use of the forest was greater than over before and nenrly every revenue-producing activity contrib uted to the gain. Tho only exception was that of sales of turpentine privi leges, which fell off nearly one-half. Since these sales are made only on the Florida forest the receipts from this source are relatively small. The timber business realized for the government over $1,600,000, and livestock grazing over $1,600,000. Permits for water power develop ment brought In over $100,000, and FOR GOOD PLUMBING COME TO ME PLUMBING, STEAM HEATING and SHEET METAL WORKS I also carry a full line of Stationary Wash Tubs and Bath Room supplies. One of my specialties is Steam Heating and Fitting. . R. CONSTANTIN St. Helens, Oregon HOMESEEKEKS, ATTENTION.

Wikstrom, owner, Scappoose, Ore gon. , 28-tf other forms of land occupancy, In cluding leases of land for summer homes, as much more. In this item the gain was 28 per cent. It is pointed out by the forest ser vice that many forms of use of the forests bring In no revenue. Settlers in and near the forests are allowed much free timber for domestic and farm use and are also allowed fres grazing up to ten head of milch or work animals. As public recreation grounds the forests are open to all without charge.
