Stamps MORRISON Road Work Stopped. Construc tion work on the seven-mile stretch of road In Wind river valley leading to the government mineral springs north . of Carson. Wash.; has been stopped for the winter, three miles having been completed. The re mainder is to be put in by July, Skamania county paying half the total cost and the forest service the other half of the $30,000 being ex pended. The Wind River Lumber com pany has placed the bridge across Wind river and is footing the bill for this. Logging is being done in the vicinity of the springs, but the forest service has saved a block of timber on Trapper creek, the river and fishing streams in the vicinity and the im mediate territory around the springs. Petrified Wood Exhibited. A curious specimen of petrified wood, which indicates that forest fires ravaged the standing timber of the northwest years before the white man came to the country, was found by forest rangers on the Lewis river near Trout Lake, Wash. This is the first of its kind brought to the district forester's office, having charred por- nulls auiuil& til; buiiuiiicu w uuu. .su pervisor Brundage of the Columbia forest says tnis is further proof that early forest fires reduced by 25 per cent the amount of standing timber in this section.

Tele phone lines in the national forests of Oregon and Washington will probably be extended between 400 and 600 miles in the coming year if present plans mature. C. M.
