"Then Dawned the Blessed
Era of Cooking With Gas"
Says Marion ITarland, tho great authority
" and writer on household problems.
This is a splendid endorsement of gas cook
ing by a keen, shrewd investigator- one
who demands facts nnd nothing but facts.
Millions of women will applaud M i v i o n'
Hni'land's declaration.
Every housewife, in those days of well
made, low-priced gas ranges, and the rea
sonable cost of gas, m:iy enjoy true comfprt
in the kitchen.

giiu.itie icale. If the people or t.hU
di.L.iui are willing to cooiier.ue, the
.Nniional Fon?st Service o:pet9 to
collect onottga Douglas fir seed this
lail to grow tho enormous total of
7i"0,OUO,000 new trees. And for
such assistance the Government Is
willing to pay a good price.
The plan coutemplutes the secur
ing of nt least 20, 000 "sacks or 30.
000 bushels ot seed cones, nnd from
each sack there' will bo cleanejl nt
least one puund of seed, which will
grow approximately 25,000 new
trees.
To make tho big movement all tho
more certain of success In case the-
people of tho district pitch in nnd
gather Beed cones, the Forest Service
has announced thnt there Is an ex
ceptionally heavy crop of Beed cones
this year and thnt the avcrngo col
lector can make about as good wages
as a nimble hopplckor. The collect
ors who havo rcccntl started out In
Southwestern Washington and In
parts of tho Willamette Valley have
beonuiblo to mnko from $3 to $5 u
day, nnd the seed cones nro coming
In nt a grnt'.fylng rnto, even with tho
picking season Just begun. Tho Gov
ernment hns nlrondy received several
tons of the cones for shipment to the
extracting plant at Wyeth, Ore.
It requires no skill or experience
to make n nice piece of money in
gathering the cones, nnd cases hnve
been reported in the InBt few dnyb
whore Bchool chlldron havo been nble
to mnko as high as $15 or $20 by
skirmishing around among tho young
coniferous trees nnd selling them to
Undo Sam.
Anothor 'factor In tho prosont cam
paign of roforostntlon Is one that
should npponl to overy local Oregon
limn, womnn or child, foi tho Gov
ernment is trying to patronize home
Industry In Its work. Heretofore,
tho Forestry Service hns boon com
pelled to Import nil tho seed used
from Europe, oven in roplpnlsHng

splto of tl'o fart that Oregon and
Washington nro In one of tho licnvl
out timbered 'bolts In the world nnd

promising, but n heretofore entirely

! According to ofllclnls of tho Forest

lect tho cones. First, by gathering
cones which Bqulrrols cut down for
their winter storo; bocoikI, by pick

Traffic Chart of Western Union, Annlo-Atncrlcun and Direct U. S. Cable
Business, Showing Capacity of the Cables and the Proportion Now Utilized.
Proposed RftotiiificiatRon of
Existing Arrangements
A provisional modification of an
arrangement wh,!ch has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys
tems of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained oeparately. will be opcr-
i atcd in direct physic il connection
i with each other nnd with the Western
I Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
I this arrangement:
Firtt, more efficient and economf
cat operation.
SuconJ, tho introduction of new
formt of lervice to tin advantage of
the public.
The Trans-Atlantic Cable
Situation and Competition
The trans-Atlantic cable situation
Is as follows :
The Mackiiy group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con
nection with the teloiii.vph lines of
that company form one ntcni.
The Kronen cables coinprlue nn In
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and tho tiackay land
lines for their United State" connec
tion. In competition with those is the
Western union group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate com
panies, two of which are HritUh
companies owning five of the eight
cables.
Two only of the Britith owned
cablet terminate in the United StatoM
and all of them are entiicly depen
dent an the Western Union for their
connection with any telegraph $ystem,
or far their reaching any centre of
buiineii, and are note Worked cxclu
lively, ao far ai butine$i it concerned,
, with the Wettern Union.
Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented
The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo. Amer
ican and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con
trol. The consequent increase in
effectiveness und economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advuntuges In cable
service not now enjoyed by tho public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such Im
provements and Introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trims
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions, when there mc mure
than ample facilities for all bustness,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or Introduction
of new services.
i
Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities
As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all flash service, . . instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75 of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
flash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ac
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but to continue to confine
the cables to this class of service, as
at present, will utilize onlyaboutasft
of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.
The limited time and the character
of tho business, if best results are to
be obtained, demand direct cable cir
cuits between principal centres of tho
two sides of the Atlantic, as well as
'special circuits devoted to special
business.
Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities
To meet these requirements it Is
essential not only that there be ut all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and In close physical connec
tion with land linea as one system.
Ample spare facilities aro necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has.independently of tho
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might bo called upon to take
care of, because of some particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable Interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample If thev
could be used supplementary to each
other and interchangeably. "
As It Is, each company operates Its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct offices and under separata and
distinct management. All interchange
of business is by actual transfer ottbe
business from one company to the '
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of n service In which
seconds are valuable.
Daily and Week-end
Cable Letter
So toon at the proposed arrange
ment goet into effect, the Wettern
Union purposes, with the consent of
the British Post Office Department,
to introduce at least two new feature
or services in addition to the proposed
deferred rate the
DAILY CABLE LETTER
and the
WEEK-END CABLE LETTER
at a very law rate for cable service
only. This will enable the public to
save the tix to eight dayt consumed in
the trans-Atlantic passage of mails.
Monopoly of Cable
Business Impossible
There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systemsthe
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay wil continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control aver the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans-Atlantic cable business:
i BETTER SERVICE. Thlswlllba
insured by more efficient and econom
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cableSand land lines.
3-PUBUC AD VANTA CES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now unutilized. It will
continue to lie dormant and unutilized
under existing conditions and tradi
tlons, The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans-Atlantic
cable companies. .
