S. lUME.WSE STOP.KS FOK MK'X OX TKAXSl'OHT An account of how soldiers are led at sea is given In the dailylnewa iaper published on a transport: "Outiiide of providing 210,000 Deals at sea, the mess officer of the Ehlp lias little to do. "lie is only called upon to provide, ly the regulations, 180 different var ieties of food. That's all. Ever try to ortler ISO different things to cat? Yet this is the authentic list. "The fond needed to feed several thousand men at sea ranees beyond the glutton's dreams. You get the answer in the thiii down Mow the water line, where 7290 loaves of 1 read have been baked hi one day, end where you stumbie over every variety, from 00,000 pounds of beef j '.o 132,000 eggs, or a compartment j of brick ice cream in a lo-degreo-a'ove zero vault. "And if this doesn't suit, you can bump along into 49, "21 pounds of i potatoes. 7100 pounds cf hara and bacon, 7S0 pounds of butter, 6200 pounds cf sugar? and 01,500 pound3 cf flour. j "If you can't get a meal out of this you can still back on 4C00 pounds of sausage, 3100 pounds of sauer kraut, 20,000 pounds of appks, 19, 5.00 pounds of oranges and 4200 pounds of onions. And this leaves out 3 COO pounds cf jam and 9400 pounds of lima and navy beans." Tho asbestos Industry of the U. S. h in better condition now than ever before, especially as to the quantity tnd the grade produced, and the out look is encouraging. Most of the a;;!est03 used In the largo asbestos factories of the United States comes from Canada, but the growing appre ciation of the high quality American fibre, especially that from Arizona, is a welcome feature of the industry The total quantity of domestic as bestos sold in 1917, according to J. 6. Dillcr, of the U. S. geological sur vey, department of the Interior, was 1083 short tons, valued at $306, 05C, an increasa of about 13 per cent In both quantity and value over 1916. .V.ost of the domestic asbestos come3 from Arizona, where the proportion cf crude spinning fibre to that of lower grades i3 much larger than in Canada, so that the average pries of American fibre In 1917 was $301 a ton, whereas the average price of that in Canada was only about $50. Some years ago the opinion was ex pressed that as the Arizona fibre con tains less Iron than that mined in Canada, it is therefore better adopted lo use for electrical insulation than I tho Canadian fibre. This opinion has lately been confirmed by analyses made by 11. E. Zimmerman of Pitts burgh, whose investigations also indi cate that the harshness of certain parts of the Arizona a:-bcsfos is due tr thin films of calcit anions the fi! res.

FOREST I'iKES l!A(iE NEAR GIUXTS PASS Forest fires are raging on nearly every side of Grants Tass, filling the valley with smoke, says the Courier. They have resulted quite seriously in some places, burning crops and buildings. The shortage of available men la the forest service has made it hard to prevent the fires from spreading, but the citizens have vol unteered and helped all that they could to at least protect the homes and grain. The blazo in the Bloody Run dis trict is spreading rapidly. It is only half a mile from J. L. Pierce's place and If the wind should change in all probability the Pierce buildings vould be burned. Friday night the fire In this dis trict destroyed the buildings at the old 23 mile house. Two section crews and all the neighbors are out fighting the flames. On the Jones creek side the fire Jumped Rogue river and is endangering the home of C. H. Gordon. The whole mountain side seems aflame, and burning trees fall in all directions. A fire covering a large area is in Pleasant valley. Many citizens of Grants Tass have been-out protecting nearby farm homes. The home of Mr. Bannister lias been In constant danger, having caught fire five or six times. Each time, however, it has been saved from serious damage.

This Is Carey act project. Estimated cost cf the first unit of the project is rlaced at approximately $2,000,000. Special attention Is being given by the medical department of the army in all camps to cleaning up spots where mosquitoes and flies breed. In some cases it lias been necessary to dig channels in streams, drain many swamps and put in elaborate ditching .systems to clean up stagnant pools and streams. In cases where it has been impossible or imprnctilile to drain swamps and do similar work, there has been installed a system for keeping the slow-moving streams and .still bodies of water covered with oil. At all points within the camp where there Is the slightest possibility of mosquitoes or flies breeding daily soraying of oil is done. Arrangements have been complet ed with the federal public health ser vice to carry out a similar program in the territories adjacent to the camps. The health service has agreed to fill bogs, open streams, and drain swamps, and continue the oil spray ing for a distance of one mile around each camp. Special precautions have been ta ken to prevent the spread of disease by flHs. Instructions wee given on the dis posal of materials that were likely to become breeding spots. Arrange ments were made to protect all food lrom flies. With this end in view, all buildings in which food Is pre pared or stored were screened. En trances to the buildings have been vestibuled. An average of 6000 fly traps have been placed in each camp. More than 22,700,000 square yards of screening has been placed In all camps. $ $ 'f ? ' ?

The approval of a com pany commander is not sufficient. The question of shipment of par cels to France first came to the at tention of (he war department when the commanding gpneral of the ex peditionary forces cabled that con gestion of such articles had reached such a point that French railroads were unable to handle the load. A board appointed by the secretary of war nnd the postmaster general ex amined finno sacks of parrel post mail, and found that the articles be ing sent not only, in the main, were absolutely unnecessary, but undesir able. The Investigation showed thai the amount of such mall had reached a total of r o 0 , 0 0 0 pounds a week, and was steadily increasing.
