REDL1GHT DISTRICT IN MILWAUKEE-DOOMED (United Pre. Lu4 Wlr.l v Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 13. Unofficial announcement is made that Milwaukee's redllght district will be completely wiped out by May 1.

The forest service resent recent Inti mations of a local morning paper that Its representatives are doing nothing to combat a pest of barkbeetles whloh has been killing great quantities of timber tn r eastern Oregon. - These beetles do more harm to the . pine forests ' than summer fires and the forest service has been doing? all in ita power to, check the Infestation, according to George H. Ce cil, district forester. Forester Cecil said: "In 190T the bu reau of entomology was consulted as to means Of ootnbsttlng the pest The dev astatlons of the beetles were, however, exceedingly dimcuit to cnecic. ' Covers Big Area. "The Infested area" lay In 4 number of isolated patches, scattered over an enormous area, on the upper slopes of the , Powder river, North Powder river and the Wallowa mountains, at an ele vation of EEOO to 9000 feet a region that waa a regular mountain wilderness, lit tie known, hard to get to In the sum' mer time and absolutely Inaccessible for eight months of the year. If all the Infested trees oould have been oat down. barked and the bark burned on the logs and stumps charred, the infestation might have been checked. To fell and bark the trees even in the eany stages of the Infestation in 1907. when the seriousness was first realised would have cost an enormous sum. .-' "Even If It had bean considered a wise use of public money, there was no money available for It Some work of this kind, yet on a small scale, under rather favorable conditions In the. Des chutes national forest last year cost aa high aa 2104 an acre. Attacks tower levels. "This year the barkbeetle made Its appearance' 'In the yellow pine forests at lower elevations. This has aroused the owners or yeuow pine umoenana and the forest service to a realization of the situation should the insect extend it ravages to yellow pine and kill much of this valuable timber. It seemed possible that the Insect might be checked on the threshold of the yellow pine type and driven back to the high moun tains. The forest servloe detailed two officers to reconnoitre the Infested, areas and several months were spent by them in this work. Five national forests were inspect!. Insect control work was then begun In cooperation with' private own ers of tlmberland, under direction of experts from the bureau of entomology. "Before winter drove this- orew from work, which will be continued in the spring, 1340 acres had been covered and declared free of Infestation, and 1120 trees which were infested with bark beetles had been felled and the Insects whicb they harbored killed. "This Is but a beginning, but If this insect Invasion does not die out of its own accord, the work of trying to keep out of the commercial yellow pine tim ber will be continued, if congress grants enough appropriation."
