OREGON
Oregon Fourth
Lumber State
According to the government fig
ures for 1913, Oregon ranks fourth
In the list of lumber-producing
states, having advanced from twenty
third place in the past decade.
According to the 1913 figures,
Washington still ranks first In lum
ber production. In fact, the reputed
production in this state for 1913,
approximately 4,600,000,000 feet,
was the largest ever reported for that
state or any other state. Michigan
approached this figure in 1890 by
reporting a production of 4,311,000,
000 feet.
The cut of Douglas fir In 1913 was
the largest ever reported for this
species, being over 5,500,000,000
feet. This figures is for a single
species. The cut of yellow pine for
1913 was reported as nearly 15,000,
000,000 feet, which figure was sec
ond only to that reported in 1909.
The latter figure is made up of all
species commercially known as yel
low pine.
Out of a population of approxi
mately 675,000 people In Oregon,
84,000, or one-sixth of the total num
ber, are directly dependent upon the
lumber industry. Of a population of
1,142,000 people in Washington, 16
per cent, or approximately 193,000,
are dependent upon the lumber in
dustry. County Gets Share
State 'School Fund
The annual apportionment from
the irreducible school funds for the
schools of Oregon were made Mon
day. The total is $360,066. which is
$1.75 per pupil as against $1.85 last
year.
The reduction per pupil is due to
the fact that there are 3,865 more
children of school age this year, the
total being 205,752, and the further
fact that interest collections have
been somewhat backward. Last year
$373,490.95 was apportioned.
Jackson county receives $12,146.-

county apportionments.

Reimer.Gets Results
With Use of Sulphur
President W. J. Kerr of O. A. C,
Jefferson Myer3 of Portland, one of
the regents of the college, Mrs.
Myers, Addison Bennett, a Portland
Oregonlan staff correspondent, and
H. R. Glalsyer, Klamath county agri
cultural expert, were taken to the
branch experiment station at Talent
Saturday morning by Prof. F. C.
Relnier, superintendent of the sta
tion, and M. P. Henderson, county
pathologist, and others, where they
were surprised at the wonderful work
being accomplished there. One of the
chief experiments Is with blight-re
sisting pears. There are 500 varie
ties of pear trees on the farm, from
every country that raises pears, and
Superintendent Rcimer Bays he has
developed varieties that positively
are blight resisting.
In the afternoon the visitors were
taken to the farm of Mm. Bernist,
seven miles northeast of Medford,
where experiments are being con
ducted with alfalfa by dry farming
on heavy sticky. It haa been con-.
tended that alfalfa would not grow
profitably on sticky, but Superintend-
ent Reimer said it could if the ele -
ment in the soil that is lacking could
be supplied, and he claimed that was
sulphur and has proven it. On the
Rerni8t farm are three small tracts
tnat show wonderful results. On one
tract pure sulphur was uaed as a fer
tilizer, in proportions that would
mean 100 pounds to the acre, on an
other iron sulphate, and on another
calcium sulphate. Both of the latter
were used In sufficient quantities that
the sulphur would equal 100 pounds
to the acre. The first cutting showed
an Increase of 600 per cent over the
alfalfa planted along the same tracts
without being fertilized, the cutting
showing over two tons to the acre.
The second crop is now ready to cut
and is as heavy as the first crop.
With rain there will be a third crop,shrub Brow. ln what 80,1 conditions
equally as good. Professor Reimer
says the sulphur for an acre of fer
tilizer would cost $1.50. Experi
ments are being conducted with al
falfa and clover on 21 farms In this
county.

order for the rails to lay the first
one and one-half miles of track be
yond Wilderville was sent In Satur
day morning, as it Is now proposed to
lay this much steel without waiting
for the completion of the grading
of the unit. By laying this much of
the track at once work beyond will be
much facilitated. Tha one and one
halt miles will take the track to
Hair's Prairie, across Slate creek,
and it thero is no cause for delay in
shipment of the rails from Portland
they should be here during the next
week. The grade will be ready to
receive them, with the ties on the

People's Forum
The Superintendent and His Duties
Monuments mid Markers.
Editor Tidings: The success of a
cemetery Is entirely dependent upon
tne superintendent In charge. He
should be selected with great care,
He Bhould have absolute control of
the grounds and all pertaining there
to, subject only to the orders of the
trustees. The superintendent should
enforce the rules,, see that all visitors
conduct themselves in a proper man
ner, supervise all workmen, have full
charge of all funerals when within
the grounds, keep the records, advise
as to the location of graves, the se
lection of lots, the design and setting
of monuments, and a hundred other
things of daily occurrence. Few po-
sitions of trust call for such varied
knowledge. To become proficient in
all this work may well discourage
most men. A majority of cemetery
superintendents are careful, pains
taking men. Many have only local
experience, know but little of what
is done in other localities, and too
often look upon their work as a daily
Erind- It t0 be regretted that
- .tnere Is no school where one might
; obtain Bn insight as to the proper
methods. A man who follows this
line of work should have a good gen
eral education. Also business abil
ity, a knowledge of drawing, engi
neering, general horticulture and
landscape gardening. All this would
help. The modern park cemetery Is
largely dependent upon landscape
gardening for Its success, that a
knowledge of this art is specially Im
portant to a superintendent. A suc
cessful superintendent must have a
knowledge of trees and shrubs. With
a natural love for nature's outdoor art
and observing eyes, much of this
knowledge can be gained by daily
observation. A superintendent should
know the heights to which various
they will best thrive, the varieties
that will best group together. In
fact, the better he becomes posted,
the better will be his success.
Monuments. Family monuments
(have come into use during recent
! years, the headstones of former
j times being practically individual
, monuments. It is now the practice
; to have but a single family monu-
ment upon a Iot' the only in8crintion
thereon being the family name sur-
name only with a marker for eacty
individual grave. Markers should be
set with the top even with the sur-
landscape appearance. With head
stones showing above the surface we
have the old graveyard appearance,
but burled in the ground they do not
appear in the landscape picture, and
we then have a park or modern ceme
tery effect.
All monuments should be of gran
ite or natural stone. Imitations
made or sheetiron or any other ma
terial except natural stone are dis
tinctly bad, and should not be al
lowed. Each monument should be of
artistic merit. No monument should
be a copy of another and they should
not be crowded together. It is Im
portant that each monument have a
proper setting to show it oft to the
best advantage. This setting should
consist of plenty of grass or lawn in
the foreground, with a massing of
shrubs in the background. The
beauty of the handiwork of man is
thus enhanced by the beauty of na
ture. With each monument, having
nrtlHtlp merit. Dronerly placed in a
natural setting, with no other stone
above ground, and plenty of green
grass giving vistas between the
shrubs and trees, a cemetery is cer
tainly a thing of beauty. There
should be a section of a cemetery
where ln no monuments are allowed.
Such sections have proved quite pop
ular during recent years, as many do
not wish lots in monument sections,
thinking the lack of a monument
upon their lot would signify poverty.
Where they are given such opportun
ity they are much better pleased.

Efficiency Tests
on S. P. Railroad
An interesting sidelight on the ef
ficiency of the railroad man of today
Is afforded by the figures of Vice
President and General Manager W.
R. Scott of the Southern Pacific on
the efficiency tests made during the
last three years. Out of 74,116
checks on the observance of operat
ing rules by trainmen and engine
men on the Pacific system there were
but few cases wherein the signal was
not respected a percentage of 99.83,
perfect.
These tests are one of the biggest
factors in the railrond"s protection
of the life and limb of the traveling
public. By them, officials are en
abled to detect the careless man and,
in their opinion, the man who is
careless Is not the man to he en
trusted with any share of the re
sponsibility of safely transporting
passengers from one part of the
country to the other.
The tests are made by division su
perintendents and their respective
staffs and under conditions that ex
ist in everyday service. The feature
of them, however, Is that they re
veal a reniarltablo degree of effi
ciency on the part of the railroad
employe, something that Is reflected
in the great record made by the
American roads in their safety first
campaigns. The frequency of the
checks made on tho heed of danger
signals only serves to emphasize the
capability of the men. There are
twenty-two tests ln all and each of
ficial making it is required to keep
an accurate record of the checks on
individual employes. He fills out a
blank showing the date, time, loca
tion and train and engine number;
the name of the conductor end en
gineer and the kind of check made.
The Southern Pacific was the first
railroad to keep an accurate file of
the individual records, and these
have played the important part in
the promotion of the deserving.
'This record speaks worlds for the
capability and efficiency on the part
of the employes of the company,"
says Vice-President Scott, and it
was this efficiency on the part of
the employes of the company that
enabled the Southern Pacific to win
the Harriman memorial medal."
