The matter of reforesting the mil
lions of acres of cut-over lands of
the Northwest is one which Is at
trading much attention. Lumber
men, as well as many others, noting
the rapidity with which our native
forests are being decimated have at
lust realized that something must be
done to perpetrate tree growth. In
many places tree nurseries have been
established and many acres of trees
have been planted on lands which
formerly contained heavy stands of
timber, and which have given way
to ruthless slashing. Some lumber
men have undertaken reforestation
on their own initiative, while the na
tional Forest Service In conjunction
with state departments have estab
lished and are conducting experi
ment stations.
An experiment station has been in
operation at the Floyd Kelly ranch
on Juniper Flat for some time. A.
G. Simon Leo Isaacs and Tony Can
navlna, three men in the employ of
the Pacific Northwest Forest Experi
ment station arc in charge here and
their experiments In planting aeed of
forest trees is carried on in an in
teresting and novel manner. One
thlng.they nro trying to determine is
Just how far the wind will carry fir
seed.
In making the evriment the seed
is placed In a special container and
elevated to a height of 200 feet by
means of a kite." When the aeed has
reached the desired height the lid of
the container is opend with a trip
ping string and the seed allowed to
drift down the wind. After the tiny
winged seed has fallen they are
readily visible. Every hundred feet thousand
from the point of release, four by
eight-foot plots are laid out and all
the seed within these plots are count
ed. Thus the amount of seed falling
at various distances from the given
point of release Is determined.
Simultaneous readings of wind
velocity are taken at th surface of
the ground and at a height of 200
feet to determine the combined In
flunce of wind velocity and height
of release, on the distance seed will
travel. '
Though some half million seed In
all will be released on Mr. Kelly's
ranch, it Is not an attempt to start
a young forest and none of the seed
are expected to produce young trees.
The Information to be gained
from these experiments will be In
valuable to the logging industry, for
it should tell how many seed trees
should be left in order to secure ade
quate reforestation on cut-over
lands.
One of the gentlemen mentioned
above is here representing the Can
adian Forest service and the knowl
edge he gains here will be used In

The matter of evolving a code of
fire signals elicited some discus

that a code of signals be devised.
He said that for immediate use three
blasts of the siren would signify a
meeting, while a prolongd howl was
to be used in case of a fire. Mr.'
Shattuck also suggested that signals
be arranged for the guidance of fire
men -in locating just what district to

Miss Eunice Mitchell, missionary
of the United Brethren church in

Everett Hazen of Maupin, in a let
ter to the dominee's wife, recounts
some of tne things which christian
white people endure in China. Miss
Mitchell, whose home is in Sparta,
Oregon, has been in missionary work
in the land of Confucius nearly five
years. In detailing some of the acts
of banditry perpetrated in the dis
trict of Siulam, China, Miss Mitchell
says in her letter, written December
18-20:
One of the things with which mis
sionaries have to contend is that

broke out a corner of the brick house
where the instructor was living and

extremely cold and the victims were
not allowed even to clothe them
selves in warm raiment Later the
medical missionary received a letter.

by the bandits, in which a ransom of
$8,000 was demanded for his re
lease. If that amount should be paid
it would mean that every cent pos

are playing a waiting game, it seem

Miss Mitchell stated she is prepar

With her is Miss Gladys Ward, whose
