THE DESCHUTES RANQER j& j& FOB, JUNE j& & Tho Juno number of The Deschutes Hangar, issued monthly from tho oN flco of tho supervisor of tho Des chutes Forest In Bend, 1ms us front cover Illustration, views of tho road to tho Tumalo ranger station before and after Improvement, shotting In a striking way what has been accom plished In tho way of road construc tion on this former trail. Extracts from ho Hanger follow: On June 20 tho Mnlden Peak Lookout was manned by Mr. C. O. Bowers. This is tho last of our pri mary peaks to bo occupied by the men who will btf on the constant watch for fires throughout the ap proaching ilro season. Frank Child era Is stationed at Paulina Peak; U. O. Stevens will roport from Walker Mountain and Claudo Woods Is oc cupying tho lllack Butte Lookout station. Theso men nro all In tel ephonic connection with their respec tive district rangers and with the Supervisor's ofllco In Bend. Thoro will bo nn cfTort mado dur ing tho coming season to utilize tho dry range in tho Fort Hock valley. Ono band of approximately 2,000 sheep, owned by J. B. lllnton, of Slmnlko, will probably uso tho Fox Butto range and will dopend upon tho woll drilled at Dry Lako by Hol lengron & Janes as a watering place. An application to graze 900 ovo3 and lambs in tho vicinity or Cabin Lako well has been npprovod and, If sat isfactory arrangemont3 can bo made for pumping wnter, this band of sheep will grazo tho country lying between the South Ice Cava and tho Forest boundary nt Cabin lako. Tt is inoro thnn probable that within a year or two a considerable portion of tho timbered dry range lying at tho north west end of tho Fort Hock valley will bo fully davelopod through tho drilling of wells by privato capital on National Forest land. Should this regb n bocomo fully grazed it will materially lesson'1 tho flro hnzznrd and probably provent a repotit'on of de vastating Arcs which hnvo repeated ly occurred in this district during tho past few years. Mr. Brlnkloy Is still engaged up on land classification work. Ho fin ished tho flold work In connection with the Crescent project and return ed to Bend on tho afternoon of Juno 11. On Juno in ho began tho field work on tho Fromont portion of tho Long Butto project. It Is his Inten tion to work continuously on this project until July 1, by which time ho will have completed all tho ragged outlying portions of tho project and will then return to Bond, leaving tho liulk of tho project lying In a solid body still to bo completed which will be organized later In tho summor. On July 1 Mr. Brlnkloy will return to Bend and become avallablo for flro suppression work. " Mr. Harpham topped off a month's work at telophona and road repair ing and bridgo construction work with a flying trip to Portland during tho Hoso Show. Mr. Sproat Is otlll engaged on tho Snow Study In tho Tumalo district. Onco n week slnco tho latter part of March trips hnvo been mado to Tum alo Bangor Station to collect data bearing on tho comparatlvo rapidity with which snow molts In tho open nnd under the shelter of heavy tim ber. Four stations, each containing nn open area contiguous to timber 'cover Tvlioro conditions relative to slope, aspect, etc., nro as noarly Iden tical no posslblo woro soloctcd. A number of graduated slakes woro sot In tho open and adjacent timborod nren of each of tho four stations to facllltato tho accurato moasuroment of snow dept from week to weok. At the name tlmo a snow section Is tak en In tho open and timborod area of each station, making eight sections in all, for tho purposo of obtaining I the wator equivalent as well as tho f depth of snow. This work is to bo : continued until tho snow has entirely melted, wjjen a report will bo writ ten. Tho now test sots which novo re cently been put Into uso by the ran ger force bid fair to provo nn Import ant link In tho chain of flro detec tion and early suppression. It is tho unanimous opinion of those Into whoso hands this now stylo test set has fallon that the Instrument will be extensively used and will do away i with much useless travel. I'd to and including Juno 19 ten tires have been fought by the Forest Service officials in tho Deschutes for est. Four of these fires succeeded m getting a good start and develop ed Into Class C fires before thoy could ho controlled. Tho Ave days of June IS to 17 Inclusive were extremely Tavorablo for bad fires and during this period a large number of fires I started on private lands outside the National Forest, and a few within our boundaries. Immediately follow. ng this dry and very hot week two electric storms passed over the moun tainous portions of the forest and several small fires were reported hav ing started from lightning. The rath6r goneral rain and cold wave which followed the electric storm prevented the spread of the fires and brought an end to what might have 0"en an unprecedented fire situation for tho middle portion of June. Ranger Smith reports from Paul- i ana Lake that tho snow Is exceptlon- I nlly deep in that locality for this I Bnqrnn nf Mm .... it. .. .,.. ,.Uw.. , , juui, no slums mm there nro drifts In the neighborhood of the lake Bhore' which are at least 30 feet deep. Mr. Smith also states that tho snow on top of Paulina Peak is exceptionally deep, but that the lookout cabin which was built last season haB withstood tho heavy win tor storms and Is In god condition. During the latter part of May Mr. Harphnm assisted Ranger South in putting a wagon bridgo across the East Deschutes river at tho military crocslng nbout 13 miles above Cres cent. It will now be possible for nut03 to travel tho old military road between Crescent Lako and Ber.vor Marsh. Because of tho bad ford It has for several years been Impossible to tnko this route. Slnco funds were not avallablo for team hlro, part of the tlmborsnnd tho decking for tho bridge woro moved by uso of tho nuto. A small sled was constructed and fastened to tho rear axlo of tho car and ono end of the poles chained to it "lizard" fashion. By this method It was posslblo to movo moro thnn ono hundred pieces of .12 foot decking for about 300 yards In ap proximately 3 hours tlmo. This operation cost the Forett Sorvlco 25 cents In auto mlleago nnd saved much tlmo and sore shoulders to tho bridgo builders. Supervisor Hasting! has recently mado a comploto circuit of the ran ger hoadqunrtors for tho purposo of rovlowlng the present condition of roads, trnlls and tolophono lines nnd to gain first hand Information rela tive to tho prcsont condition of tho flro fighting equipment. His obser vations show that tho Forest Is In good shapo for the approaching flro soason, except In the mattor of plows and wator barrels. Immediately af ter July 1, whon 1917 funds becomo available, each ranger dlstr'ct will bo provided with water barrels to bo used In flro protection work only, and plows for tho same purKso will bo furnished to those districts whero Ilro suppression work can bo econom ically nnd efficiently conducted through tho uso of a plow. Interest Is again coutcrlng In tho McKcnzIo wagon road. Thoro Is at preeont u survoy party working In tho vicinity of tho summit on tho west sldo of tho Cascado ran go milk ing a Unci location over thlo portion of tho proposed road. It is expect ed that tho work wilt bo completed on the west sldo of tho summit be fore tho end of Juno and that survoy work in tho vicinity, of Windy Point in tho Deschutes Foreat will bo be gun by July 1. During tho coming trimmer It Is oxpcctStl to do tho Hold work In tho final location survoy and during tho coming winter tho plans and estimates for that part of tho McKonzIo road lying cr.nt of tho sum mit will bo propr.rcd undor tho di rection of Mr. Finch of tho Ofllca of Public romlB. The citizens In tho Sisters rond district nro centonvplnt tng levying n special tax for tho pur pose of recoustiuctlng the McKonzIo road from tho town of Shters to Windy Point with tho hopo thnt tho Forost Sorvlco, through tho 10 per cont fund, will bo able to construct the road from Windy Point westward r.cross tho summit of tho Cascados. Tho pcoplo of Sisters who nro agitat ing tho lovy of this special tax have approached tho Forest Scrvlco for data sufficiently .-""urnto upon which to baso a budget for tho purposo of lovylng their special tax. This Infor mation probably can bo furnished nnd If tho tax Is levied tho movoy will bo avallablo tor tho working season or 1917. It Is thought, therefore that the McKenzle wagon road from Sisters westward o tho Wlllnraotto valley will bo In first class condition for through travel by tho end of tho a- minor season of 1917. It Is with difficulty that wo nro maintaining tho phono sorvlco over tho West Dezchutes lino which runs through tho Shevlln-Hlxon logging operations. It has been necessary, In order to Insure sorvlco, to lay ap proximately one mllo of Insulated telephone wire near tho cam) located below Donhnm Falls on tho Doschutes river. Tho logging operations mado It Impossible to keep up tho line on the west sldo of the river and tho lava flold prevented the construction of a pormanont line along the other brnk. Insulatod wire was, thoroforo. strung along the rough surface of tho lava field. In laying tho Insul ated wlro two pnrallol linos woro put down which are at some points a couple of hundred yards (.part. In at least six places within tho mllo these parallel linos nro connected by cross wires, thus making a ladder effect; tt Is hoped In case either lino Is broken we will still have ser vice by way of tho other. In case both lines become broken It Is still possible and highly probable that service may still bo hid over a part of the first one and then the other of the lines by way of one or more of the cross wires, Kxcept for the few miles of telephone lino which Is nesr the summit of tho mountains and Is heavily bumd In snow, all lines are In excellent working order. Nearly all trunk line roado have been placed in condition for summer travel. There are, however, a few exceptions on account of tho depth of snow. Tho Paullnn Lake road, for Instance, Is still blocked by fallen timber, but this rond will be clean ed as soon as snow conditions will permit. Tho road to Tumalo Ranger Station will bo treated likewise. Perhaps within ton days both of these roads will lie put Into shapo for auto travel. GAME IN THE ANTARCTIC. Seal Steak It Good, and So Ara the Brsattt and Eggs of Penguins. In tho antnrctlc there Is not tho Im mense variety of game which Is to bo found In north polar regions; but, on the other hand, it is very abundant nnd can be turned Into food with the small est exertion. The Weddell seal,' which sometimes weighs iw much na half a ton, allows Itself to be killed and cut up with placid calm. Its natural en cmles nro In the wnter, and for long generations tt has been nccustomed to basic In tho sun undisturbed. Seal steak is an ncqulred taste, but when ncqulred explorers prefer It to tinned provisions. It Is a common assumption that seal tlosh tastes of train oil. That Is a mUtakc; the flesh Itself contains no fat, but It Is extreme. ly rich in blood, and In tnsto suggesta the Scottish delicacy known as black pudding. Penguins, too, ninko a very destrabto addition to the antarctic larder. Epi cures eat only tho breast, which is rather like linrc. but of a more delicate flavor. Tho eggs, which nro very abundant In the spring, suggest ducks' eggs, but arc about four times as big. They aro excellent eating If you hap pen to pick n new laid one, but this is naturally Bumethlng of a lottery, and a penguin egg can be very bad indeed. Loudon Chronicle. OVER THE EQUATOR. The Coldest Air Olowe High Up Above This Torrid Region. Winds blow not merefy along the surfaco of the earth, but upwind and downward throughout tho atmosphere. They whirl about lu ull directions. So It It Impossible to construct a weather chart that will really show the direc tions of the winds, for such a chart would have to be In tlireo dimensions. Professor Alexander McAdlo of Har vard in an article lu tho Qoogmphlcal Review describes nouio or the recent experiments In the upper air performed by sounding balloons. The ntmosphcro has, roughly, two layers, the lower called the troposphere and tho upper tho stratosphere. The strongest wluds arc found just below the stratosphere, and It would seem that pressure, changes originate In this region. Tho stratosphere Is highest over the equator aud lowest over tho poles, but Its height varies with the season. "At the equutor," says Professor McAdlc, "as wo rlso in the nlr tho temperaturo continues to fall to a much greater height thnn In temperate latitudes. In deed, tho lowest temperature Is found above tho equator." Origin of Setln. Tho discovery of the principle, of the manufacture of sutln mux a puro acci dent The discovery was mado by a silk weaver pjum.nl Octavlo Mul. Dur ing a dull period of business one day he wns paclug before his loom, not knowDig how tu glvo u new Impulse to his trade. As he passed the machine each tlmo he pulled short threads from the warp and, following an old habit, put them Into his mouth and rolled them about, soon after spitting them upon the floor. Later ho discovered a lltllo ball of silk upon the tloor of Ills shop nnd was ustuulslied nt the bril liancy of the threads. He repented the experiment und eventually employed various mucilaginous preparations and succeeded lu making satin. Deaf as an Adder, Tho expression "deaf as nn adder" Is from the Ptnlms of David, whero it appears In tho following form: "Their poison Is like the poison of serpents. They nro like the denf adder thnt stop. Ietb her car, which will not hearken to tho voice of charmers, charming over so wisely." East Indian travelers tell us that thcro Is a widely prevailing su perstition In tho enst to the effect that both tho viper and tho asp stop their cars when tho charmer is uttering his Incantations or playing his music by turning one car to tho ground and twisting the point of the tail into tho other. MUFF BRONSON TO MEET LEO HOUGKJTJIPPODROME Portland mul Keattle FenthrrnelghU to Hate llMtouiiil Oi Many Pre liminary Kventa arc Arranged. Muff Bronson Is fast rounding Into shape for his ten round go with Leo Houck at tho Hippodrome next Mon day evening. Tho game little bat tler from Portland ceems to bo ex tremely fast and clever, according to his sparring partners, and a very hard hitter, He Is considered tho sen satlou of the present season and his admirers around Portland aro pre dicting that ho" will relievo Johnny Kilbane of his laurels. Manager Doudlah of the Hippo drome has secured Leo Houck to meet Bronson. Leo Houck is said to be the best 125 pounder around Puget Sound and as Bronson Is king In that weight among tho Oregon boxers It will be seen that the fans are In for a treat. These two lads met several months ago in a six round bout In Portland, and though Bronson was the victor on a close decision at that time, still Houck and his supporters are confident that he will reverse the verdict when they meet here. Houck Is doing bis prep- jr33W6- mm v.
