Wails of grief arc heard and a noise of indignation. Vaca tions have been nipped in the bud, outings of pleasure turned into in nings of pain, beautiful faces distig nred and the deuce to pity generally! What has done this, do you in quire! That old nnd insidious en emy' of the maid in the mountains and tho man in tho woods Poisou Oak. Not the Rhus Toxicodendron, or poison ivy of the East, but its West ern congener vnicn uirKs niuug mo highways and in the paths nnd trails and stings like an adder. So far there have been six victims from among the smnrtest young women ol the smnn sei six wnosc faces . are puffed and swollen nnd whose eves are closed lo mere slits and whose tempers' are opened to tu multous torrents. As beauty docs not like to be advertised as evch tem porarily unbcautiful, their names nro withheld. One young creature normally as fair as a flower nnd sweet ufC the summer sky writes 01 nor woes and, being possessed of humor and talent for rhymes, unburdens her soul in the following vein: '"I went away with crazy folk, To camp in a fragrant dell, Where greened a secret oak, Its tap root snapped from hell. "My eye is swollen shut, My throat is an itching flame. Auburn is my aching nut, Afire my fragile frame. "Mo nose is a red balloon. Bursting to rise and fly. My face is a glowing moon, Tinting the evening sky. "My mouth is all awry, ' Upwisc and down and askew, My ear is an Eastern fry, I love poison oak dont' you?" REFORESTING BURNED OVER AREAS OF THE FORESTS An investigation as to the practi cability of , reforesting the great areas of forest lands which have been devastated by fire and which are now lying barren nnd unproduc tivo is now being carried on by tho United Slates Forest Service in the Olympic National Forest in Wash ington. Tho area selected for the ex periments comprises several thous and acres on the Soleduek river, nnd was at one time covered wilh a mag nificent forest of Douglas fir. It was first burned over iii 18D0 ami again in 18!)o. A third fire over almost the same area occurred in l!HMi, destroy ing the last remnant of the original forest, leaving the enlirc area tree less. In sonic regions n second growlh of trees will come in iiiidtrnlly nflor a burn, in the course of a few years lime, nnd where this happens artifi cial means of sceiirin reproduction is not iicecssjiry. There are, how ever, oilier horns, where new growlh does ii'if eiiini' in readily, dut to nd ' vcrc climalic eomlilions, absence jof seed 'n'os, or perhaps tohc im I poveri-hmcnt of the soil by repeated I fires. These areas arc often of very jlarue extent and iiln -in'li cnse pome !njcaii. such as planlini' trees or ! sfwiii'r seed, is necc--arv to restore (lie forest. The burn in the Olympic fnrest is of this nature and ihe forest service is planning to conduct a ser ies of experiments to di'lermmc Ihe proper means nf refornslin. the area.

William Condoli, a 13-yeuv old boy whose dead body was found on the trail Wednesday afternoon two miles north of this place, was killed by some careless hunter and not by him- elf aeeidntly. Thut was the ver dict of the jury that sat at the in- ipiest called recently by Coroner Houston. It developed that. William Condoli and two other boys were out hiint iug in the morning. They went home at noon and left their guns. The three lads went fishing in the nftcr- noon. loming across somo sucKers, the Condoli boy sent his two compan ions back to tho honso to get a hand net to catch the suckers. These two boys had gone only n short distance when they heard n shot nnd also a cry of William Condoli. They went back to where they had left Condoli nnd found him dead with a bullet holo in his side. Coroner Houston found that the bullet' entered the right side, passed squarely through the body nnd came out on the left side on n level with the point entrance. The bullet also passed through the left arm. II would have been impossible for young Condoli to have inflicted such n wound even if ho hiifl had a gun with him. No one ha the remotest idea who was the hunter that caused the lad's death. LARGE ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED SUMMER SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF OKKGON, June Id.
