It Is ovldcnt to every thinking

During tbo psst few years ihe In

through tho arteries of trado within
tho stato. This vast flow of capital
marks all stages of lumber manu

various branches has glvon employ'

STEERS GAIN ON SUNFLOWER RATIONS
EXPERIMENT PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Tho faUoning and bulldlng-up pro
perties of sunflowors when fod to
cattlo In tho form of sllago havo been
amply tested by J. W. Taylor, who re
sides on tho highway about threo
miles this sldo of Merrill. That tho
tost was vory satisfactory Is ovldont
from tho story told by Qoorgo Watt,
of this city, who has boon Idontlflod
with Mr. Taylor, Indirectly, In this
teat.
On November 10, Mr. Watt deliv
ered to Mr. Taylor 05 two-yoar old
stoorn, about half of which wero Ari
zona whlto-faces, and tho other half
n all ro Durbams. From that date In
Novomber until January 0, tho stoers
wpro fod on bay. Slnco January 6,
tboy havo been given a hay and sun
flower ration, sunflowers principal
ly.and whon they wore taken from
the Tuylor farm tho last of last week,
It was found that thoy had gained
an avorago of 186,pounds In 86 days.
Threo stoers wero used for theso
tests. During tho last 30 days they
gained two and a halt pounds a day,
or 75 pounds total, this being a re
markablo record. During tho first
58 days, tho ateora gained 96 pounds,
this bolng a good record also for
hay-fed stoers, but tho last 30 days,
during which sunflowors were fod, IsJ
considered ovldonco that this feed,
which can bo grown horo abundantly,
contains remarkablo fattening pro
vortles. Furthermore, said' Mr.
Watt, If theso stoers had had tho ad
vantage of a dry, clean corral, each
would undoubtedly have gained at
least one-halt pound more dally.
Mr. Taylor harvested about 40
tons of sunflowers from two and one
half acres, and still has a large part
of tho feed left in his silo. Sunflow
ers nro usually planted late In the
spring, and aro harvested quite late,

cate that thoro will bo markod activ

region.
WamIo and Desolation
In olhor regions, tho lumber in
dustry has brought groat tomporary
prosporlty, and thon, with vanishing
stumpago, has left desolation and
ruin. This need not bo tho story of
tho Industry In this stato. Tho fed
eral government has, within control
of tho forest service, 13,000,000
acres of forest land In this stato,
At tho most consorvatlvo estimate,
prlvato owners hold sufficient aero
ago to mako, within tho bordors of
hho stato, 20,000 000 acres of land
suttod only to Umber production.
This area, undor propor manago

ally, tlmbor with a manufactured
valuo In oxcoss of (150,000,000.00,
and to furnish pormanont employ
ment to 80,000 workers.
United Effort Needed.
To bring this result to pass will re
quire tho oxorclso by tbo cltizonshlp
of today of a high typo of patri
otism, material sacrifices for the
futuro stato and for tho future gen
erations. Tbo program Is simple
and tho responsibility seems clear.
It moans that forest fires In stand

must bo eliminated. It means put
ting Into operation a well thought

ized and so timed that ultimately,
approximately equal amounts 'of

tho axo nn dtho saw.. This Is not a
visionary probability; It Is a bard,
cold business proposition. Ho who
would serro his stato should glvo
tho mattor consideration. It Is not
an unpleasant thought that tho peo
ple of this generation havo It In
tholr power to insure tho mainten
ance of forest crops In this beautiful
Oregon country and that, through

Mr. Taylor took tho cattlo from
Mr, Watt with a contract to rocelvo
remuneration for feeding them on a
basis of tho amount of weight gain

shows that ho rocolvod $18 a ton tor
tho food consumed by tho steers, and
when this Is compared with tho pre

that there Is a groator profit In dis

Britain Makes New
Overtures Toward
an Irish Settlement
(My Assoclatod Press)
DUBLIN, Fob. 7. Humors are In
circulation horo to tbo effect that
tho gove-nmont Is making fresh over
tures toward a sottloment with sdu th
orn Ireland. Ono report Is that tho
government Is trying to bring Ulstor
leaders Into line with a scheme to
persuade the south to accopt a par
tition as provided under tho homo
rulo act. v
Full fiscal autonomy to both sec
tions of Ireland, with an offer to ro
lcaso political prisoners and grant
ing ot amnesty to Irish republicans
gonorally, Is Included In tho govern
ment's proposals, according to one
report.
WELL HAS OIL
Further Indications ot tho prob
abilities ot oil In this section have
recently been manifested at tho Han
non ranch, threo miles south of the
city.
Loca.tod.on this property Is a well
428 foot deep, drilled by tbo owner,
P. E. Hannon of this city, when he
first purcbasod thonnch about ten
years ago. The water,, that was
struck at tbls dopth hrtlways car
ried oil Indications, bbg so pro
nounced at times as to Impart to aiy
food cooked In It a distinct coal oil
flavor. At first It was thought that
somoono had accidentally put fl
oil In the lea kettle or the wll,, but
after tho Indications coptki4evar
a period ot months and gas' la suf
ficient quantities to burn' weal 'an
times Jlow from tho vent in tne
pump, the councluslon wns reached
that oil seepago was responsible for
tho trouble.
After tho ranch was rented to John
Cabler, these evidences ot oil be
came so strong that he decided to
abandon tho well and sink a now ono.
This be did and for two years the
old woll remained unused. About
six woeka ago the present tenant,
Ous Sutherland, decided bo would
try and uso tho wator tor stock, but
found difficulty in getting any wa
ter. Aftor pumping nearly half an
hour a yellowish, frothy fluid flowed
from tho pump onto tho ground.
Thinking (hat there might bo oil
In tbo water, Mr. Sutherland decided
to try and soo if It would burn and
was not a little surprised when It
burst Into flames when he touched
It with a match. Stnco then this
eplsodo has boon repeated many
times, according to Mr. SutlTorland.
Yostorday a representative ot Tho
Herald visited the well to secure ocu
lar proof of the accuracy ot the stor
ies that havo been going tho, rounds.
Tbls ovldonco ho secured first hand.
Tho samo difficulty In getting tho
wntor through the pump was exper
ienced, and when It finally camo it
sooraod as If thoro was a gas press
ure forcing it through. Tho liquid
had the usual yellowish, frothy ap
poaranco and burned readily when
the match was applied and the
flames, which raised (te a height ot
noarly two foot, lasted long enough
to set tiro to paper that was thrust
into them.
Weather Probabilities
Tho barometric pressure, as
Indicated by tho Cyclo-Storm-agraph
at Underwood's Phar
macy, continues quite high, and
is well out of the "storm"
area.
Consequently a continuation
ot tbo present weather condi
tions may bo expected, although
more sunshine may reasonably
be looked for.
Forecast for next 24 heurs:
generally fair we.atb.er, con
tinued cool, with variable
winds.

J. H. Kimball, representing the

If it were tho best timber there was
