With ten Inches of snow on the ground, Crater Lako Lodge 1 prac tically snowbound and was officially closed Haturday, when the entire forco of employees returned to Med ford. According to the lodge manage. ment, the patronage this season baa been tbe largest In Ha history. Two truck loads of young trout were nt from tbe slate hatchery near Vlda on tbe McKemle river, to tbe new state hatchery at Oakridgo, on the upper Willamette river. The trout number about I00,000 and will be left la tbe poods at Oakrldge until th close of the fishing season In the fall of 123. One of tbe largest damage verdlcte ever bandod down by a Jury In the Multnomah county circuit court waa glvea Lew Wallace, ex-agent for the American Life Insurance company In the state of Oregon, when he waa awarded f71.170.JI In a ault brought against bis fi employers for alleged breach of contract. Tbe candidates' pamphlet, to be printed and distributed among tbe registered voters of tbe state prior to tbe general election In November, will contain between 25 and 30 pages, ac cording to an estimate made by Sam A. Koier, aecretary of state. Tbe time for filing statements for the pamphlet expired Thursday afternoon. The army aviation camp on the Eugene municipal flying field is be ing broken preparatory to the return of the members of the 91st squadron of the army air forces to the home station at Crlsney field, San Francisco. Tbe recent rains have extinguliihed all fires In weatern Oregon and there la no more need of the patrol. Blity tbouaand rainbow trout have been sent from the MeKenrle hatchery for distribution In Linn county atreams. This consignment was orig inally Intended for the streams east of Cascadla, but the weather condi tions prevented taking them there, so the trout were liberated in lakes tnd streams In the vicinity of Sclo. An unusual amount ol worm damage, together with imall sires and more or less "brown spot," have materially re duced the prospective 1922 commercial apple crop of Oregon, as compared with the earlier indications, is the opinion of F. L. Kent, agricultural statistician, department of agriculture, who has very recently vlalted the prin cipal applegrowlng districts of the stale. A mineralized tooth, more than four Inches In length, found In Newberry crater by I'eter Valley of Dend haB been clarified by United States bio logical survey officials at Washington, D. C, as that of a horse, probably an extinct species. Judging from the size of the tooth, central Oregon's prehistoric steed was at least three times the size of the average horse of today. Ed Forrest of nrondbent, Coos coun ty, Is a contender for Luther Bur bank'a crown. Mr. Forrcat has devel oped a hubhard squash which seem ingly hap indefinite keeping qualities. He exhibited his first epeclmens at the Cooa and Curry county fairs in 1921 and again this year exhibited the same specimens, apparently as sound as when they were plucked from the vines Inst year. Completion of the Ashland Klamath Falls road, better known as the Greens Spring road, probably will be left to the voter of Jackson county at the xwmh.r election. Klamath county haa voted $300,000 in bonds to be used to complete the road from Klamath Falls to the Jackson county line, and It Is estimated that it will require about $75,000 to complete the remaind er In Jackson county. Because of the Inability or me highway department to obtain cement, work on 'three road-construction con tracts In different parts of the state has been au.pcndod.

INDEPENDENCE i . zr ,' SERVES TWO GOOD PURPOSES Aarlal Per.rt Fire PMrol Net Alone ef Value In Savlrj Ti;nber From Flaoitij. The aerial forent fire patrol I not only of Inestimable value to the tlm-ber-growlng state of the Pacific coast, hut of great value to the United Htates army, write Hol.-t W. Ituhl in J. He's. If an Invading foe ever strikes at the Purine count, maps, and similar data, direct product of forem fire pa trol, will be of Ineatlniable value to Uncle Km,,. And If the millennium arrives on schedule time, and wars cease, then with the development of the commercial airplane the value of these data will run Into sufficient money to make the expense of the for est Are patrol look like the German mark. In another direction the aerial for est Are patrol is of material value to Uncle Bain. The great military prob lem In time of peace la to maintain fighting morale. To an extraordinary degree fighting forest fires calls forth the same qualities required In fighting an armed foe. Locating a forest Are In the wild western country Is almost Identical with locating an enemy bat tery reporting a forest fire -to base headquarters by radio la not essential ly different from reporting artillery fire; dropping carbon dioxide to ex tinguish incipient forest rhea a pro jected development of the near fu ture demands the ssme technical skill as would dropping bombe of TNT on an army ammunition dump. The aerial forest Are patrol, more over, provides Ideal training for ob. sen at Ion squadrons. Liaison with the foreat aervlce la accomplished much the same as with the Infantry and ar tillery In war operations. INDUSTRY CALLS ON SCIENCE Chemist Today Plays a Highly Im portant Part In Enterprise of Every Description. It is said that whenever a csr wheel breaks on a certain great trunk line the fragments are taken to the com pany's laboratory and carefully stud led, so that when the next order for car wheels Is made up, if utructural weakness caused the accident, It may be guarded against. All the purchase by this railroad of iron, steel, on, lumber or what not are tested by the chemists It employs and t,hey draw up the requirements to which persons who sell the road supplies must con form. Tills Is not an Isolated In mance. It Illustrates the practicality of applied science, and the reliance of acute business men upon the ex pert opinion that Insures them against wasting materials, time and money. A clans graduated from one of our largest technological schools num bered almost two hundred young men and women. Eleven of them took up special studies In this Institution or others. All hut forty of the rest found employment within a year. They en gaged In the service of electric com panies, rail roii (is. cotton and paper mills, mines, machine works, iron and steel foundries and others of our most Important indUHtrlnl enterprise Paderewski Easily Disturbed. Paderewskl will not permit anybody to sit behind him. At some of bis concerts hundreds of seats could have been ndded on the stage. Moreover, In every Paderewskl recital no seats are sold In that part of the orchestra proper which Is directly behind him. Tbe piano Is set at a forty-five degree angle, which means that in the ex treme left corner of the orchestra, looking toward the stage, a number of seats are directly facing Paderewskl's buck. Those seats are empty for Paderewskl. "If they are behind me, I think they are pushing my elbows," he says. One night he complained: "Will you go down to that woman in the seventh row at the right? She Js fanning. I do not mind If she fans In time. But If she cannot do that 1 cannot piay. u. v. jshiicbou iu Hearst's. Human Flea. "I reckon you had a right lively time In Kansas City?" Insinuated an ac- imlntnnce. "Tol'able." replied Gabe Gosnell of Orudire. "but nothing like what I prob ably would have had If I wasn't consid erably lively on my feet. You see, up iu Kiinsiis City, If you meet a re spectable looking man anywhere after. 4 o'clock In the afternoon anywhere the least bit off to one side, he's a holdup and robs you. "And If you meet one that don't look respectable he's a plainclothes police man, and pounds you because he thinks you're a holdup. So I was prac tically on the keen jump all the time I was there, dodging one or the other." Kansas City Star. Ignition of Escaping Hydrogen. There have been so many cases of spontaneous Ignition of hydrogen gas when charging balloons that an In vestigation has been carried on to determine the cause. By observing In the dark a Jet of hydrogen escaping through a pipe flange, it was found that a brush discharge of static elec tricity was plainly visible. When the pipe was tapped, to stir up the dust, an explosion occurred. From the In ...uniinii It would seem that the spontaneous Ignition waa due to the friction net ween me iijuito the dust of iron rust and to the brush discharge of static electricity from the iAofrlfled particles.

The recent visit of the prince of Wales to Hong Kong haa drawn atten tion once more to that Island, known by Its residents as the "Island of Sweet Waters." Oreat Britain obtained Hong Kong, W) years ago, by the treaty of Nan king, and though she took care, In 18H8, to lease nearly 400 miles of the adjacent Chinese mainland, In order to make this outpost more oecure against attack, the Far East haa come to think of Hong Kong lesa as a Brit Ish fortified naval station than as a commercial port, admirably admin istered by a British governor, serving South China. Victoria, the city, stretches for four miles along the northern shore of the rocky Island and faces the Kowloon peninsula, aeparated from tt only by a narrow atralt only half a mile wide. Above tbe city rises tbe famous Peak, where the lucky people have houses, high up out of the heat, and whose summit can be reached quite quickly In a miniature train that is hauled op ita steep el dee like a lift, and initiates the visitor Into one of the classic examples of relativity for while one la In It, the bouses clinging to tbe hill all eeetn to be atuck on aldewaya and In Imminent danger of falling off Into the abyss below. The view from the Peak la ex quisite, especially at dawn or before darkness falls. Down below all la bustle and noise. The streets are thronged with hun dreds of Jostling Chinamen, and tbe native part of the city, by night, lit up with lanterns and gay with open shop fronts, la a stimulating welter of color and atrange sounds, and peculiar, baffling odora.

The church that Is located In the business district of a city is developing a new form of use. Within the past year Trinity church, standing at the Broadway end of Wall street, New York, and having a great curb market Immediately behind It, finds a steadily Increasing number of business and pro fessional men in Its pewa from 8 :30 to 9 o'clock of each week day morning, except Saturday. There Is no service at this hour, and no ministers are about. It Is Immediately before a busy day. A year ago there were not enough men In the pews at this morn ing hour for the sextons to take note. It is to be remembered that at all hours Trinity has people In Its pews, regardless of services. Recently this morning custom has grown, until at present the numbers In pews at 8:50 o'clock will reach forty to fifty. They never bring in newspapers or books. They do not come to read or to rest. They come In, kneel, and pray. Then they go out and to business. No iBVltatiou ever was given, save the general one of opening the doors to all people and making all pews free. New Cattle Feed for Army. Compressed forage, composed of pure oats and other grains, pressed In to bricks made with a binder of molasses, has been successfully devel oped at Camp Lewis. The bricks are 12 inches long, 6 inches wide and lVi Inches thick. Perforations make it possible to break up the bricks by hand If only portions are to be fed to the army horses or mules. With the new compressed feed, it Is pointed out, a horse can go Into battle carry ing its rations as the soldier carries lils own. Tests were made on 50 an imals at Camp Lewis, and all but four took readily to the new compressed feed, according to tne report of the chief camp veterinarian. With the ex ception of two of the animals, all gained weight and maintained their working efficiency. No sickness was observed. One stallion gained 40 pounds In 30 days. Popular Mechan ics Magazine. Famous Forest of Zurich. Out of every 100 square miles In Switzerland 17 are covered with for ests the result of a policy now cen turies old. The municipal forest of Zurich, fa mous throughout the world, haa been producing timber continuously during the last 600 years. Crop after crop has been grown and marketed and new crops started. It is a common saying In . Europe that "Switzerland holds her mountains up and her taxes down" with her for ests. These forests, largely municipal, protect farms and towns by preventing landslides. In addition they pay divi dends which materially reduce tax levies. Moreover, It Is her forests, as well as her mountains, which make the men of Switzerland strong and self reliant. It Is her forests, too, which help to attract and charm tourists. Permanent "Umbrella." A new kind of umbrella Is the broad "bungalow hat" worn by a ma terial checker In a shipyard of Port land, Ore. It is made chiefly of wood and measures 85H inches long by 21 Inches wide. It has a supporting frame which rests on the shoulders, and It is steadied by strapa which connect with a chest belt, and a wooden strip which extends down the back. Its purpose is to protect not only the wearer but also his tally sheets In stormy weather. BOTH WILD, FOR SHORT TIME 1 1 Imprisoned Cat and Kansas City Man Alike in Disposition Until Storm Calmed Down. In Euld, Okla., according to a Kansaa City man who goes there frequently, there Is a collector of curiosities pecu liar to the atate. Ills line ranges from Indian nioccaelns to live coyotes. In fact he handles anything that might appeal to the romantic Impulses and purses of Easterners. This dealer's store window recently attracted the Interested attention of a portly salesman who was strolling about the town In company with the Kansas City man. With this obese traveling man to panse was to sit. The only convenient seat In this case was a box on the sidewalk In front of the store window. A piece of bur lap had been spread over It. The portly one Just settled himself comfortably to enjoy the window dis play when tils companion heard a snarling scream within tbe box and almost simultaneously the fat man was sees rising high In tbe air, pro pelled by his own sturdy legs. A bowl from bira mingled with the falsetto one which emanated from beneath the burlap. Subsequent Investigation developed that tbe box waa really a crate con taining a temperamental wildcat about to be shipped Eaat Tbe animal had been seised with an Impulse to test Its Innge and claws at about the time the salesman placed tbe pos terior part of hie anatomy so con venient for elaw testing.
