Mr. lirifflth. a fluent speaker,
trnced the history of the forest sit
uation in the United States and the
gradual disappearance of wooded
lands from the Atlantic slopes,
making the Pacific coast the last
stand for the timber industry out
of-nn original S22 millions of acres
of forest land when the PllKiims
first landed. In Oregon, the lum

speaker, can only-In time result in

Idle industries. Wasteful forest
practice, aided by its destructive
ally, fire, cause annual losses of
sums running into high figures,
not only, in the destruction of po
tential lumber wealth, but also in
the destruction of watersheds,
found necessary in successful pow
er development and the continu
ance of steady flow in water
courses.
Reforestation does not necessar
ily mean arllficlal replanting, said
Sir. Griffith, but rather natural
reproduction springing from seeds
, cast from parent trees. As a rule
this reproduction grows fast, but Is
easily destroyed forever hy fire,
and growing underbrush makes
- the wilful burning of brush a bad
practice. For a few moments the
speaker, aided by the use of slides,
apoke of carelessness of forest
campers, adding that campers are
becoming gradually educated to
the use of caution in the woods.
In a reel of moving pictures pre
sented by Mr. Fuller, the bud
points of unwise taxation were
brought out. with suggestions of
fered for their remedy by an im
proved taxation system on forest

destinations for delivery before

course, can Ik mailed Sunday, and
if not mailed here until Monday
this would give only six days time
for parcels to go across tho coun

and reach their destination in time

The incoming Christmas' parcel
business today took a sudden spurt
becauso of it being the first day
of tho running of the special

This train which will run daily
until Christmas day, brought two

While a few let (era are returning

claimed he saw 72 in one flock in i

To those who know the assistant t
postmaster, nnd sheik of the O. O.
K. K. temple, it is inconceivable j
that he had the patienco to count;
out VI quail in one hunch, if ho wns
even in fairly good health. -
Further inquiry develops that
probably what Mr. Leach saw was
a herd of bees from Jim Stewart's
apiary out for some exercise on
Jackson street, and that his glasses
need cleaning.
Selection of flu jury Usl
is now under way. under a now
system which. Jt !s hoped, will
eliminate inail vertencies of the
past mid litcilitiiie court procedure.
In past years the Jury has been
drawn nt random from a list of
names of county residents. This
resulted in idekUig many who were
physically ineapfiteitatetl. In some
instances those drawn were dead,
or bad moved away.
l"nder the present plan, w JiUh
was conceived by County Clerk He
ll hi Stevens Meyer, a representa
tive from various sections of the
county picks out the names of citi
zens that he knows or Is reliably
certain are fit for jury service.
These lists will be pruned by the
county court, nnd later by the
county clerks office.
In the name-selection session to
day, the Mcdford diitiict is repre
sented by Carl V. MYngwaM and
Mrs. O. C. Hoggs;

County Clerk Meyer said this

drawn on the list fur the year, and
the first drawing wouhl, be for the
