GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING FOR BIDS
ON TIMBER LANDS IN CALIFORNIA

vt the end OF the first five years OF
the Tahoe sale the price to he paid
for the timber cut in the following
five years will be determined by the
prices of lumber which have ruled in
the locality during the preceding year.
Since it is recognized that present
stumpage prices are rather high in
proportion to present lumber prices,
if lumber prices do not show an in
crease of 50 per thousand feet the
stumpage price will not be changed.
On any increase above s. per thous-
and, three-fourths of the amount of
the increase may be added TO the
stumpage price.
The Tahoe sale will call for the
construction of 20 miles of railroad
which will be common carrier and
therefore decidedly beneficial TO the
mmunity-anOther reason for max
ing the sale which is taken into aC-
count \ minimum price of $3.50
per thousand feet for yellow pine,
the amount of which is estimated at
- million feet, and also for sugar
pine, and of 81 per thousand feet
for all other species, is specified in
the advertisement. The interest
which has been show by lumbermen
in this sale leads the forest officers
to believe that one or more bids will
be received The usual
conditions of cutting national forest
timber, to insure renewal of the
Forest and close utilization of what
IS cut will be Incorporated in the
contract of sale.
That national forest timber is in
increasing demand is evidenced by
he fact that over $50 million feet
we're sold during the year which end.
ID on June 80, 1911, as against less
han SO million feet in the previous
ear The current year is likely ID
how a still higher total.

Service recognizes that in view OF the
general upward tendency of stumpaSe

to speculation, and might turn out
to be highly disadvantageous to the
