PORTLAND, Oct. 22. A 64-ycnr-eld
stand of .Douglas fir growing on
beach land In the middle Fork Wll
laaatte watershed, Cascade national
forest, Oregon, has mndc an average
growth of 1,044 board foot per acre
during the last fire years, according
to Forest Hxaralner Thornton T.
Hunger, who has Just completed the
third rcmeasuremeht of the timber
on several sample acres In the reg
Ion under observation. There nrc
Bow on this tract an averago of 155
living trees per acre, 41 less than
were present ten jcar ago. This
ahrlnkngo Is duo to the fact that In
the keen struggle for existence, the
smaller trees aits being crowded out
and smothered for lack of light.
Too trees on the sample acres are
all tagged and numbered, so that the
'behavior nnd growth of each Indi
vidual trco can bo watched by the
foresters. They range from 4 to
27 Inches In diameter, the average
trco being 16.3 Inches, a good site
for railroad tics and almost big en
ough for piling.
The gloss scale of all the trees
for tho average aero shows 10,216
cubic feet of wood, while tho volume
bf tho merchantable portion of the
trees oxer 12 Inches In diameter,
making no allowance for defect or
breakage, Is 47,891) board foot.
"This Is not nn exceptional nroa."
says Mr. Mungcr. "There nro thou
sands of acres In Oregon nnd Wash
ington capable of growing 1000
board feet per aero annually. The
extensive loggod-off areas of tho two
states offer great possibilities to
grow a second crop of timber If only
fire Is kopt out and nature glvi-a a
chanco to resecd tho ground."

Mllo. Vorlet, who till sing nt tho
Elks' templo Monday night, far from
being without a country, now llkos
to consldor hersolt ns having throo
countries.
rtotglum Is her native land. Of
course, at tho outbreak of tho war
Mllo. Vcrlet suffered tho same fato
other llelglans met at tho hands of
tho Qormans and was forced to
abandon her lovely llttlo houso near
llrusscls. Hut sho carries with her
ovarywhero a dag of tho Delglan
colors red, yellow nnd black. It ts
flanked on either side with tho Stars
and Stripes and tho bravo tricolor
of France. Thvso Mile. Vorlet koeps
always In her window.
"Tho throo flags togothor are
thov not Drettr." sho said, lovlnalv,
"I put the flag of your counlry thero
on tho Fourth of July, and that of
Franco on tho fourteenth."
Mile. Vorlet also entertains great
affoctlon for Franco. In Paris sho
was tho premier coloratura soprano
of tho Paris Grand Opera company,
and It was direct from thero that sho
enrao to tho United States.
"I am quite an Amerclan now,"
sho says .when speaking of the Unit
ed States. "1 lovo to sing In your
country, because I lovo your peoplo."
Dut tho people of tho United
States love to have Mllo. Verlet sing
In their country as much aa she likes
to sing here. For the gifted little
Belgian Queen of Song," aa aha Is
called Id her own country, boa takes
America by atom. She kaa a won
derfully rich, clear volca, and aha
ovldently loves her singing so well
and enjoys tho pleasure she gives
"these dear Americana" so much,
that It la small wonder aha feels like
a real America herself.
Monday's concert will give Kla
math county residents an opportunity
to hear Mile. Verlet In some, of her
most successful songs. Admission to
the concert la by invttattoa.

another fire engine $15,000; fire
alarm) system, $10,000; repair of
Sixth straet. I1S.SS6, and the salary
of a street' commissioner, "$1100
yearly, are added.
As to tha first proposed badget In
crease there seems no argument
against It. The last budget was
$43,230 aad proved Inadequate to
meet strictly governmental needs.
There haa been no radical fit In
cost. In any, of ruaalng the city,
and the $10,000 Increase Is seeded,
It Is generally conceded.
Dut the common couucll evidently
did not feel that this Is enough that
the voter should stop at $52,000, so
a second proposal was put on the bal
lot. If the voter sees fit It super
sedes the first proposal. The voter
must clearly differentiate sad real
ize tho effect of his' ballot.
On one band he may approve the
$52,000 measure, or disapprove It,
In the latter ease the city Is thrown
back on the old rate, plus six per
cent, and would raise about $43,000,
exclusive of the bond Interest fund.
On the other hand hj may decide
that tho city needs to tepave Sixth
street, enlarge Us fire department
and hire a street commissioner. Then
ho passes by the first proposal en
tirely and votes on the second.
If ho votes "yes" on one ho
should, logically, voto no on the oth
er. He cannot logically YOto for
both affirmatively, or both negative
ly. Ah to the socond propo&il, rais
ing $92,'100, exclusive of bond Inter
est, the question Is Docs the city
need more fire apparatus, a (Iro
alarm cystem, a street commissioner,
and tho repaying of Sixth street.
The last two questions provldo tho
answer of one. A street commulon
er, who was competent and on tjie
Job, would, nt a cost of $1800 n year,
aive the ro-paving of Sixth street,
at a cost of $12,000. Tho cjty In the
past two years has laid much costly
pavlag over a widely scattered area
It Is wise economy, proponents argue
to hire a competent nun to watch
this paving and by timely repairs
prevent Its untimely destruction
That Sixth street, a main artery
of approach, needs repavlng, Is gen
erally conceded. It la work that
must be done sooner, or later and
proponents of the higher tax argue
that It might better bo now than
later.
Unless tho Increased fire appar
atus Is sanctioned, it Is argued, there
will bo a balnket Increase In ire In
surance rates that will effect every
property owner who carries Insur
ance.
Klamath Falls Is such a bad fire
risk that In the last few years, It
la said by Inauraace man, tha policies
14 out. have exceeded tba prem
iums paid Into tho Insurance com
panies. Unless demands for tiottor
tiro iirotoctlon nnd reduction of
hatards nro compiled with, tho raise
will bo forthcoming.
Onco effecttvu tho new rates will
cost owners In tho uggrogatn from
$100,000 to $150,000 n enr, and
they will, ns far ns enn bo forosoon,
continue ato exist until tho (Iro -protection
Is doomed adequate, Which
moans that tho money tor flro ap
paratus will have to bo spent somo
time, lly spending It this jour (ho
tax payer keops his Insurances prem
ium at Its present rate, or perhaps
lowers It. Whon the present truck
was purchasod Insurant rates hero
dropped ten per cent, n totnl unvlng
to cltltons of $20,000. Another drop
of this slie would meet the expendi
tures that tho otir Is nsfcnl to rrtlfy
it ho votes for the additional loy
Iloth candidates for mayor endorse
tho $93,000 levy. Iloth nro tax-pny-
ers.
W. T. l.eo said to n Herald repre
sentative "I have aald I want to
bo elected mayor because 1 believe
I can give tho city a progressive, ad
ministration. I cannot do tho things
I want to It my hands nro tied by
lack of funds, Further than Unit,
however, 1 consider tha ratification
nt this mensuro good luminous, Wo
Una In Increased Insnriinco If n turn
It down, flvo times ns nitwit In one
)onr ns wo would gulii. Tho defeat
of this mensuro would bo tho innkrot
of fnlso economy. I nni against 'high
tnxntlun ns much ns any other lax
pn)or but wo cannot adu, In my
opinion, n voto for thin mensuro If
wo use everyday business Judgment."
W. H. Wiley Mild! You may nny
for me that I ondorso both tho $02,-
crousd of tho bonding power of (ho
city to in per cent. Unless ttioso
measures pnstt any lulnilnltsrntlim
that ,tlio people may select will bo
met upon Its IniuiKUratlim by tho
obstacle of lnnrioo,mtte flounces, I
!mo tnkon thought pn Uio maltor
and 1 can nee that It would hn poor
policy for the tax-payer, of whom I
am one, to (urn down tho budget
Items that mean Increased tire pro
tection and risk a certain rulsu In In
suranro rates that In n yenr would
swallow up several times tho amount
of tho tax paying."
