Tho February number or tbo Des
chutes Hunger issued froim tho Hond
National Forest olllco hns ns a cover
picture n photograph of u stnnd of
yellow pine. According to tbo Hun
ger the picture Illustrates quite
clearly tho great danger to which
this particular body of timber is sub
jected. One of the worst llrcs of re-
.cm. jrain in uiiH pari oi me country
occurred last sunmicr In Just this
lypo of forest, whero becntise of lack
of wator development, grazing cannot
be dono. Last year tho old roud
through this body of timber was
made passable for autos by Hanger
Harrlnimi and next season arteries
from this trunk road will oxteml fur
ther Into tho timber bolt. However,
until such time ns this range cau nu
Biiccessruiiy grazed the danger from
fires will bo very great.
Extracts from tho Hanger follow:
District rangors should be careful
not to give now applicants for graz
ing permits too much encouragement
nbont rango for tho coming year. Of
course, If It Is within our power to
tako care of nil we will be only too
glnd to do It, but from application to
(Into it would n li lion r that it Is nroli-
nblo that we will be unable- to take
caro of all who desire grazing privi
leges. Applications from 31 out of G.'l
former cattle nnd horse pormltti'es
show nn Increase of 381 bend. In nJ
dltlon to this wo have received from
now owners applications for G7"

by nearby rauchets who aro entitled
to share In tho grazing privileges,
but according to regulations wo crui
not innko a reduction In a permit of
n regular user unless tbo new oynnr
makes application six months In ad
vance. This will rnnble us to give
tho old permittee plenty of tlmo io
adjust bis liusluofH to meet tho now
conditions.

FELLOW-SWEET
. IS TASTE OF
i "SPEAR HEAD"
Most Richly-Flavored Chew
That Was Ever Pressed
. x Into Plugs
' ;
FAVORITE FOR A GENERATION
Red-blooded men with real tobacco
hunger find that they can satisfy it only
by chcwlnjr, and the most wholesome
nnd can's finj; tobacco to chew is that
made in plug form.
The limit of luxury in tobacco chew
inn is the rich, sweet, juicy flavor that
trickles through your system when you
chew Spear Head.
No other chewing tobacco is so mel
low, so luscious and so satisfying. No
other equals Spear Head for putting a
keen edge on your appetite.
Spear Head if made of the world's
best tobacco leaf the choicest of red
Kentucky Hurley. This leaf is selected
for its full, juicy richness jvitb the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear Head plugs
to tlowly that not a drop of the rich,
natural juice escapes.
Your first chew of Spear Head will
open your eyes to the genuine enjoy
ment there is in chewing.
Chew the rich and mellow tobacco
that has been the favorite for a third
of a century that's Spear Head. In

to the District Forcstor nnd It Is
uulto prolmblo that the romalndor
will bo finished this month. This pro
ject covers a gross aien of 027, HO
ncos, IC 1,950 acres of which Is 'n
Klainntti county nnd 1C5.1S7 In Lake
county.
N'ntlonnl Forest receipts hnve In
creased several hundred per cent
since 100G, when tho nrst nllotinont
of n cortnln percontuge of such re
ceipts was made to Oregon nnd Wash
ington. Hy way of contnwt, Oregon's
snare or reconus lor iuuu ji.uuu
whllo In 1915 It was $19,G7.. The
constantly Increasing demand for
National Forest timber assures a
higher rate of Increase In tho next
few years. Ultlmntoly tho rovenuo to
the stnto from this source will bo no
small Item.
During tho extremely sovcro weath
er, sevornl of tho district rnngors
have been doing n considerable
amount of signboard painting nnd
.Mr. Ilnrrlninn, who was the first to
uso tho now rubber stamping outfit,
reports that bo has Just finished ap
proximately CO signs. Tho outfit has
now been sent to Knnger South, who
will llulsh the work In his district.
Hangers Mnhn anil Oney hnvo nil
signboards painted with two coats of
white lend, which mnlces tliem ready
for lettering when their turn comes
to use the stamps.
Asslstnnt Hanger Smith, who has
spent the post month In the Super
visor's olllco assisting In making
innps In connection with lnnd clas
sification work, returned to tho I'lne
Mountain station on Fobrunry 14.
Tho snow Is going rapidly and Mr.
Smtlth states Hint Mllllcau Was rench
id with little dllllculty In his Ford
car.
Work will soon bo resumed on the
Cnhln I.nko well In the Fort Ilock
district. Opcrntlons hao been bus
ponded hero for sovoral weeks owing
to bad weather conditions nnd also
to the breaking of some of tho ma
chinery, which made It necessary to
Kct now parts.
In reply to n request from this of
fice relative to tho olllcloncy of the
auto, especially during tho lire light
ing period. In contrast to tho old way
of transportation whoro horses woro
generally used, district rangers have
submitted Homo very Interesting
factM. One specific enso which Is of
general Interest Is glyeti by Asslstnnt
Hanger Smith, who, according to his
dlnry, performed tho following ser
vice on August 29, lOlo:
"Flro reported to mo nt Hond, In
T. 23 S.. H. 15 K. Left Hond nt C
p. m: with four men, water and sup
plies. Stopped nt tho I'lne Mountain
station for tools and arrival! nt lire
at midnight. Dlstnuco covered 50
miles. This trip could not have been
mtido In loss than II hours with
leant. The following table shows
what the difference would have been
If team lind beon used In this par
ticular' case; Hy auto, Hond to lvi
dive, Till miles (0 hours) nt Cc por
ill $2. NO, four men ( hours nt 2
centP each, per hour, $0,00; sub
sistence, $1; Total $9.80.
"Hy team, Hond 'to Ice Cave, 50
miles (2 days) at $2.50 por day, $5,
feed for team two days, $3; four men
14 hours at 25 cents ench por hour,
$11, subalstenco 4 men two days,
$5; Total $27.
"In each of tho above cases It Is
assumed that tho ranger Is driving
tho vehicle nnd no account Is taken
of his tlmo or expenses. It Is true
that n team would ordinarily handle
more thon live men but when wo con
sider that feed nnd water for tlfe
team would have to be hntiled It Is
not prolmblo that a team would han-
dto any morn men and make the trip
In tho tlmo thot I hnvo allowed."
In District One It has been found
that larkspur areas on the cattlo
rango con bo very successfully erad
icated by allowing sheep to graze
them at tho proper time. It appenrs
that tho plant docs not hurt tho
sheep and if hoy arc nllou'cd to graze
for n limited tlmo only the range Is
not materially damaged for cattlo.
A personal lotter Just received by
this olllco from Mr. Morrltt states
that he Is now In northern Washing
ton going over nllotmcnt estimates
with the different Supervisors In that
part of tho country.
It Is tho wish of the local Forest
olllco to extend the Tumalo road fron
Tumalo nanger Station to Spark's
l.ako as soon nn money Is available.
Wagon travel at tho preaont time can
bo mado within five miles of the
lake, but at this point thero Is an
almost abrupt drop of nearly a
thousand feet which will nccesBltato
considerable grading. A road
through this country la tho forerun
ner for a road from Spark s Lnko, al
most, f duo south for a distance of
about 18 miles to Crane I'ralrlo.Thls
lost strotch Is comparatively easy and
cheap road building country. Such
Improvement will do much more to
protect from forest fires a largo nrea
which nt present Is moro or less In
ncccsslble. The Tumalo and Sparks
il,ako country abounds In beautiful
cnmplng sites, mountain scenery,
waterfalls, soda springs nnd many
beautiful mountain meltdown.

At 40c ROYAL CLUB is the "best buy" on the coffee mtiTket today
there is no finer coffee at any prPce.
This is no careless statement we make it only after due consid
eration and after thoroughly testing competitive brands including
those of highest price. 'es! And there are thousands qf satisfied
ROYAL CLUB users ready to "back us up."
ROYAL CLUB is made from the finest coffees that moil'ey can buy.
It is blended, neutralized and roasted by the latest scientific processes
and under the personal direction of a coffee expert who stands at
the head of his profession.
ROYAL CLUB is well worth 40c, but for two weeks we are going
to sell it for less for Lang & Co. Will Not Be Undersold.
Do not be misled by coffee roasters who charge you "too much"
fifty-one weeks in the year and then expect the public to clamor
for their product when they reduce the price for one week to what
it should be all the lime.
There is no set "year in and yeaT out" selling price on ROYAL
CLUB. Green coffee costs vary just as do sugar and flour and
.other staples. We have always made confidants of the public
and have given you the benefit in reduced retail cost when the market
was "down" while other roasters pocketed this increased profit
and said nothing.
ROYAL CLUB now sells for 40c, and it's worth it there is no
better cofee at any price; but we will not be undersold by any
"outside" roaster not even for a single week.
For Two Weeks, March 4th to 18th
