The timber sales, which amount ed to $1,164,000 yielded on ac count of the depressed condition of the lumber industry ahont $79,000 less than those of the previous fiscal year, but the train was- made possible by larger revenues from other sources. The grazing receipts, which totaled $1,125,000, increased $127,000 over last year, and the water power receipts, which amounted to not quite $90,000, snowed an increase of nearly $42,000. , The demoralization of the tur pentine industry on account of the war's curtailment of the naval stores market caused the receipts from the sale of turpen tining privileges on the National Forests to drop about $9,000, as fins iasi ' The sale of special use permits, I, ... ' J under which all sorts of enter prises, from apiaries to whaling stations, are operated on the Forests, yielded nearly $78,000, an increase of $9,000 over last year. There was a decrease of nearly $37,000 in the revenue de rived by the settlement of tres pass cases in which Government timber had been cut without in tent to defraud, the revenue from this source being only a little more than $3,000. More than $7,000, however, was collected from other timber trespass cases Grazinz trespass cases yielded nearly $6,000. an increase of about $1,000; occupancy trespass cases, wnicn occurreu hi . f Hlstri,ts. of the seven forest districts, tivmpd in something less than $250; about $60 was derived from turpentine trespass cases, ana $660 from fire trespass cases, the latter being more than $7,000 less than the amount collected m the previous fiscal year for damage to Government property inrougu fires carelessly or wilfully started in or near National Forests. Some Flax Facts A (wat deal of interest has k ornnspd over the .flax in dustry which is being attempted on a small scale in Oregon this season. Flax of the finest quality of fiber can be grown muregon- of that there is no doubt u re quires expert treatment, how ever, to prepare it It has been claimed that nax depletes the soil and is a land robber" Investigation proves that this is not the case exactly Flax does not use up the plant foodundulybutafteratimeit appears to infect the soil with I".

Final Figures for Alaska's Min eral Production in 1914 Alaska produced aolA in 1014 to the value of $15,704,259, an increase of about $140,000 over that of the previous vpr. In 1914, 21,450,628 pounds of copper were produced m Alaska, com pared with 21,659,958 pounds in 1913. The value of Alaska's total mineral production for 1914 is $19,118,080; that of 1913 was $19,476,356. This decrease is due to the low price of copper in 1913. It is estimated that up to the close of 1914 Alaska has pro duced minerals to a total value of $268,150,000, of which $244, 156,000 represents the value of the gold output. These statistics are taken from a report by Al fred H. Brooks, of the United States Geological Survey, which is now in press. Some Lost Motion A Philadelphia mathematician has figured it out that the tele phone companies lose 125 hours work every day through the use of the word "please" by all op erators and patrons. Another has discovered that the froth on the beer pays the freight But as yet no one ha3 estimated the total horse power wasted in swallowing cigarette smoke and forcing it through the nose in stead of blowing it from the mouth. -Newark News. Odd Fishing. It is said that ' at one time the Icelanders taught tame bears to jump into the sea and catch seals. In China birds do equally well, for at signal thev dive into the lakes and bring up large fish grasped in their bills. In lirecce the ustier branches of pine steeped in nitch and lichted. The inhab itants of Amorgos used cypress lpsivpd cedar, which served, when lighted, as a lure, and the Chinese fish in the night witn wnue painieu boards placed in a manner to reflect the rays of the moon upon the wa tor These attract the fish to the Knot whtm thft men cast a large net and seldom fail to draw out consid erable quantities. Anchovies are fished for in a similar manner. Whin th Houia Takt Fira. Used early, a glass of water has more value than a fire brigade. If the amount of water at hand is lim ited it should be thrown by handfuls rather than in a single dash. t A bucket of water and a broom to sprinkle it constitute a good ex tinguisher for a starting fire. Don't throw water at the blazemuch less at the smoke but upon the material from which the blaze comes. A coat, a rug, a bed cover, or a few pounds of flour can be used to smother a small blaze, and a fpntlipr bed will choke a quite ra pacious fire.-Exehange. ' Dr. M. J.
