the great cathedrals and castles they
found also constant interest In observing
the customs of the people in both city and
country. Both for the 'purpose of econ
omy and of learning more about the
thought and life of the people, they took
their meals and spent their nights prin
cipally among the country people. Even
in towns they found lodgings in.jprivate
dwellings wherever they could in prefer
ence to going to tho public Inns or ho
tels. In passing entirely around tho Isl
and of Great Britain they had many ex
periences, tomo not very pleasant at . the
time, but all increasing their knowledge
of the world and of that part of it in par
ticular. No hour passed without their
learning something of '.Interest and often
something "that would be of practical use
to them in their, future work. "Whether
studying the details of tho conflict that
took place three centuries ago at Naseby
when Cromwell's "Ironsides" won their
victory, or driving a close bargain with
a shrewd housewife for meals and lodg
ing, they were acciuiring,a knowledge that
cannot be learned from books. All the
pages of English history they had read
In school never meant so much, to them
before as they did after they had crossed
the ground at Runnymede where King
John granted the great charter 700 years
ago in obedience to the demand of the
people. Months could have been spent
with intellectual profit in that Mother
land of the American people, but the tour
ists' time was limited, and they hastened
on Into Scotland. Of their trip through
that country Mr. Shepard says:
"Scotland possesses a different though
no less absorbing Interest than England.
The might old castles at Edinburgh, Stir
ling and Linlithgow, rich in historic
associations, long antedating the union
under James I, in 16W, might alone form
the material for a volume. The stores
of Mary Queen of Scots, and Bruce be
come living realities as one inspects the
rooms made famous by the intrigues of
Mary, or views from tho heights of Ster
ling, tho field of Bannockburn on which
Bruce achieved his victory.
"The lake country of Scotland, while not
equaling in stupendous grandeur or awe
inspiring sublimity the scenery of the
Rockies or the Cascade Mountains! pos
sesses a charm of pictufesqueness and
'beauty which exceeds all power ofde-
scriptlon. wo crossed the pretty little
Xooh Katrine made so famous by Scott's
'Lady of the Lake,' on the dainty little
steamer Sir "Walter Scott. Ellen's Iala
was pointed out to us, and we almost
-expected to eee the shallop rowed by the
fair daughter of' Douglas put out from
its emerald shore. Loch Lomond and the
Trossacks were equally beautiful.
"Securing lodging with private families
we found quite practicable In Scotland,
and some of the most pleasant experi
ences of the entire, trip we associated with
the evenings spent before tho broad Are
places in the little cottages of Scotch
working pople. The Scotch, above all
others, have the happy faculty of making
a way-worn traveler feel perfectly at
home.
. 'The run down the west side of the isl
and to Liverpool was quite as . enjoyable
as the ride through the Eastern counties.
.The visit to the reat Glasgow University,
the descent into a coal mine at Kllmor

Bobby Burns, and to the old Alloway

boulets all will be remembered with keen
interest."
Rode i20O Miles on Bicycle.
.The last day's ride to Liverpool covered
10S miles, and the tourists found their
steamer ready to sail on the return . trip
to Bostorl. In accordance with the agree
ment they received, free transportation
home, and landed In Boston 61 days from
the time they started. They had spent 42
days- In Great Britain, riding 1200 miles on
their wheels and spending. about $40 each.

in making good bargains made him busi

count of his own expenses and distributes
them under the following heads: Lodging,
$10; meals, $15; transportation for wheel

Henry Gannett Estimates Standing
Timber at $105,G8,0GG,t)0O Feet
B, 3Ir-AaoHnt by Coantics.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct 10. In his report revising
his estimate of the timber stand in the
State ot Washington, Henry Gannett, of
tho Geological Survey, discusses in de
tail the timber resources of the several
counties of the state. This part of his
report, is summed up 'as! follows:
B. B. Barker.
Adams County, he says, contains no
timber whatever, excepting stripsof wil
lows, alde"rs""and aspen along' the few
streams. " Asotin has a tract of 105 square
miles of merchantable timber, mainly pine
and red fir, aggregating 79,400,000 feet
with about 2,000,000 feet additional on the
cut area.
Chehalls was- originally heavily forest
ed, ml inly with fir in the 'interior, and
with spruce and cedar upon the coast
The burned area is trifling, but lumber
ing has b6en carried on extensively upon
the streams flowing into -Gray's Harbor,
.and especially upon Chehalls River, nearly
one-tenth of the timbered area having
been denuded of its forest. There . is
now a merchantable timber area of 1714
square miles, 140 miles having been cut
Tho total stand is 27.632,825,000 feet
Chelan County Is sparsely timbered,
the total stand, largjly yellow pine, be
ing but 3.095,430,000 feet. . This timber,
however, is scattered over an area of
2665 square miles.
The western part of Clallam County Is
still an unbroken forest but that sec
tion bordering on the Sound has been
extensively cut and sustained further
injury from extensive fires. The ,tlmber
area Is 1370 square miles.
It is estimated that there are 25,742,775,
000 feet of merchandise timber In Clal
lam County, pf which over li;O0O,O00,O06
feet are hemlock, "G",500,000,000 red fir, 3,
000,000,000 lovely fir. and between 2,000,000,
000 and 3,000,000,000 each Of spruce and
cedar.
Clark County was originally covered
Over Thirty Years.
GENUINE
with heavy forests, 'with the exception
of a few small prairie tracts. ..But little'
timber has-been cut-lir-the county, lum
bering being principally confined, to tho
line ot the Portland, "Vancouver & Ya
kima Railroad. On the other hand the
timber In more than two-thirds of the
county has been destroyed by fire. The
standing timber Is almost .exclusively
fir, with little cedar and hemlock, and
no spruce. The timber area Is now
but 119 square miles, the stand being
711.552,000 feet. ' '
While the southern slopes of the Blue
Mountains in Columbia County are heav
ily timbered, the timber area Is restricted"
to 164 square gmlles, and the' stand lim
ited to 183,500,000 feet. There have been
no burns in the county. There is. on. the
cut area standing timber to the amount
of 60,000,000 feet which should be added
to the above figure to give a correct
toal.
Fires have been extremely disastrous
in 'the ' timber of Cowlitz County, de
nuding 3S5 square miles. Lumbering has
been carried on along the Columbia and.
Cowlitz River, where about 82 square
mlleshave been cut Thehe is remaining
a timfier area of 646 square miles, con
taining a tsand of 67,492,647,000 feet, most
ly fir.
Douglas County I3 almost treeless, only
about 1 per cent of Its area being tim
bered. Its timber, mostly yellow pine,
is estimated at 31,000,000 feet. Ferry Coun
ty has an estimated stand, of 1,66600,000
feet, three-flfth3 pin?, and one-fifth
each fir and larch. Its timber area is 2270
square miles. Franklin County I3 ut
terly tlmberless. .
Garfiejd County. has" but 149,700.000 feet of
timber, scattered over 12$ square miles.
Pine Is most abundant, red fir and larch
existing In lesser quantities. Island
County, once entirely .covered with fir
forests, has been completely denuded by
the ax. There is 430,000,000 feet strll
standing on culled land, the trees being
of medium size. j
The forests of Jefferson County are
remarkable because of the large propor
tion of hemlock and lovely fir, more, than
half the forest being of these spbcles,
while of fir, elsewhere the most abundant
species, there is comparatively little.
Muph of the eastern part of King Coun
ty lies high up In the Cascade Range,
where the stand of' timber Is light. The
county was originally heavily forested,
but the trees' have been largely removed
by fire and the ax. Although Kitsap was
originally entirely covered with heavy
fir forests, the trees have almost entire
ly disappeared from the shores and the
islands bordering them. There "have been
but few. fires, but nearly half the coun
try has been logged. The standing tim
ber consists entirely" of fir.
The plains portion of Kittitas is with
out timber, except a narrow strip along
the Yakima River. The mountains are
timbered scantily with yellow pine, fir
and larch. The cutting has been done
west of Ellensburg, and along the line
of the'Northern Pacific.
The 'western end of Klickitat Is, well
timbered; the eastern portion is without
forests. A few small areas have been
,ciit, and along the Skamania border dis
astrous fires have done considerable dam
age. More than one-third the timber area
of Lewis County" "has been burned, while
the cutting has. argey followed the
the cutting has largely followed the
Northern Pacific Being mountainous in
parts', and spreading out into vast plains
elsewhere, the timber stand Is compar
atively light
Yellow pine is the prevailing timber in
Lincoln County, and Is. found mainly
along the Columbia arid Spokane Rivers.
It has been extensively cut for cord
wood and saw logs. The present stand
Is very light. Fires have done little dam
age to the forests of Mason County, but
.tlmher cutting has been extensive. The
forests have .been removed from the
shores of Hood Canal and other Inlets
of Puget Sound, as well as from the In
terior. Nearly two-fifths ' of the area Jias
been logged.
As yet no "lumbering to speak of has
been carried on in Okanogan County,
nor 'haye the forests suffered in recent
times by fires. Originally the entire sur-
fae of Pacific County was covered with
fine forests, vcomposed entirely Of fir
in" the interior and cedar and spruce near
the coast Logging has "been carried on
along yie WlUapa and .Nasel Rivers, and
to , some extent almg the coast. Fires
have not been especially prevalent or
destructive.
A considerable area of Pierce County
has been logged. Including nearly all the
Islands, large tracts around Tacoma, and
others along White and Puyallu Rivers.
This county has b'een singularly free
from fires. The Islands of San Juan Coun
ty were originally covered with a heavy
forestry, composed of red fir, exclusive
ly, but being "easily accessible, the en
tire area has been logged.
The same Is true of the islands of Ska.
git County, and of .the lands lying along
the coast. In recent years fires have de
stroyed the most valuable forests of
Skamania County, ruining the .timber
upon more than half the area of the
county. But little timber has been cut,
except along the Columbia River. The
forests consist largely of fir and hemlock.
Tho amount of cedar Is trifling.
Logging has stripped, two-fifths of the
area of Snohomish County of its orig
inal timber stand; burns have not been
destructive. Much of the area of Spo
kane County was originally timbered,
but this has been largely cut away to
supply the needs of Spokane and' other
towns. "Very little timber has suffered
from fire.
Nearly all of Stevens County Is tim
bered, but nowhere densely. Burned areas
are more extensive there than In any
other of the eastern counties, and there
has been considerable cutting In scat
tered localities. Both white and yellow
pine occur In abundance, ajpng with red
fir, larch and cedar. In some sections
pine constitutes 96 per cent of the stand.
All the forests in Thurston County, in
the neighborhood of Puget Sound, have
been cut away. But little timber has
been destroyed by fires. Despite much
lumbering, and somewhat destructive
fires, more than two-thirds of the area
of Wahkiakum County is still covered
with fine forests. Half of the remaining
timber In Walla Walla County is pine,
the balance fir and larch. This Is all
residue left after the original logging.
The forests of Whatcom County were
probably originally as dense as those of
any other county In the state, but they
have been almost entirely destroyed by
fire. The amount of timber that ha3, been
logged Is small compared with that which
was burned. Whitman County Is practi
cally logged out. The western portion of
Yakima County is timbered, but not heav
ily. The logging, has been upon the
Naches River; no ijurns are repdrted, ex
cept In the southwest corner of the county.
ATHLETICS AT CORVALLIS
Grandstand Erected Football Men
Hard at Work.
CORVALLIS, OctTo. (Special.) The
work of building a. grandstand on the
athletic and drill grounds at the Agricul
tural College has been completed. The
structure will accommodate 600 people. It
is covered, 'and three sides are Inclosed.
It faces the football field at the center,
and Is the best viewpoint for the baseball
diamond, track and gridiron. The grounds
are also inclosed by a newly-built eight
foot fence. The improvements are on
grounds naturally adapted- to the pur
pose, and the whole forms conveniences
for athletics far better than any .col
lege field in the Northwest
The football -men are at dally practice
under direction of Coach Herbold, who
is popular with the men and In whom the
latter have unbounded confidence. There"
Is, however, some disappointment over the
failure to return of Walters, McAllister,
Thurston, Scott McBrlde and other old
.O. A. C. players, who were expected back.
In consequence the 'squad at present is
made up of new men, .except Captain
Gault and Bronaiigh at center. While tho
team lighter- than has been turned
out by the college in past years, the
lack of weight is expected to be over
come by fastness of play. .With a large
amount of green material it is bol!eved
however, that the team put out will at
least be a credit to the athletic spirit'
of the institution.
A fact that will tend to weaken thla
year's team is that the college has been
practically out of athletics for the past
two years through action of the board of
regents directed to elimination- of pro
fessionalism. Stringent rules for the pur
pose are in effect, and the team Is made
up strictly of bona fide students, each of
whom is taking the fulL and regular
course at the. college.. This course Is ad
hered to in spite of knowledge that the
same conditions do not universally pre
vail. Of games, four have been scheduled so
far with Willamette University. Satur
day, October 18, with Albany College the
University ot Oregon and Pacific Uni
versity at later dates. Games with Whit
man College and the University of Wash
ington are also probable, as correspond
ence on the subject Is now In progress.
The O. A. C. team has a credit of one
victory over the University of Washing
ton, but has never' met Whitman College.
Today a mass meeting of . the student
body was held and the chief theme of dis
cussion was football, over which much
enthusiasm prevails.
