FOREST SERVICE DOING BIG
THIN6S IN THE NORTHWEST
In One Year 90 Miles of Road,
426 of Trail and 625 of
Telephone Lines.
Portland, Aug. 17. Figures just
compiled by the Forest Service cov
ering ita work in Washington and
Oregon for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1915. show, among other
things, that the service has built 90
miles of road. 426 miles of trail, and
625 milet of telephone line, betides
erecting 12 bridges and 13 lookout
nations.
The detailed figures give the Ore
gon forests 85 milet of road, 266 miles
of trail, 455 milet of telephone wire.
5 bridges and 27 lookouts: while to
the Washington forestt have been
added 5 miles of road, 159 miles of
trail, 170 miles of telephone, 7 bridges
and 3 lookouts. The bridges repre-
sent only structures costing over $100.
Small bridges over culvert! and the
like are ranked as part of the road.
For administrative purposes the terv.
ice hat also built in Oregon 24 cab
ins, 8 barns, 20 milet of pasture fence,
and developed 10 springs; and in
Wathington k hat erected 12 cabint
and 1 barn, built 10 milet of pasture
fence, ind developed 9 springs. The
rangers have done a large part of the
labor necessary in making these im
provementt. It it the policy of the service to tic
velop communication at rapidly at
funds will permit, not only because
roads and trails and telephones mean
better protectioin for the forest
wealth which the government is
guarding, hut because these meant of
communication also make the Nation
al Forestt more accessible to the gen.
eral public. To date in Washing
ton and Oregon, over 4000 miles each
pi trail and telephone have been built.
and 101 bridges and 5 5Iookouts have
been erected. Of the bridges, 7 are
of suspension type.

FRUIT INSPECTOR BEEN
LOOKING AFTER FIRE BLIGHT
It Is Mostly Confined to
Quinces and Pears, Hardly
Any Apples.
D. W. Rumbaugh. county fruit in
spector, is home after being out over
the county looking after the proper
are of fruit trees. He hat been mak
ing a tpeciatty ot tire blight, moil or
it now is confined lo quinces, witn
some pear trees, in scattered parta ot
the county. Altogether he has discov-
cred only three or four apple trees
that are affected. So far the damage
is not far-reaching. It is necessary to
look out for the future, and Ihe way
lo do it it lo destroy everything that
is fire blighted, so that it may not
spread.
Mr. Rumbaugh has also had oppor-
unity to observe the progress of the
harvest. Fall wheat has been taken
care of. and farmers are now cutting
Spring wheat, though in some sections
Ihit is not yet reaJy, and it will be
at lale at the first of the month be
fore tome of it is down. A fe
threshers have begun, but most ot
them have not yet gone to work on

WHITNEY RUN OVER BY :
HIS UNGRATEFUL FORD
It it bad enough to be smashed into,
knocked down, and run over by an
automobile driven by a stranger, but
it it infinitely worse to be run, over
by one't own machine. One rather
taket it at an insult, showing a lack
of gratitude on the part of the iron
horse.
R. J. Whitney, proprietor of the
Sweet Shop confectionery, can speak
fiom experience. Mr. Whitney it a
regular swimming fan, and late every
afternoon after a hard day't work he
taket a load of N'cplnnet over the
river to the old swimming hole. Yes
terday evening he was standing at
,the side of the car when it began to
back up catching the candy man's
trousers on the car and holding him
so he could not get loose. Both wheels
passed over him, but fortunately no
damage was done, and the swim wat
