GOVERNMENT TIMBER
Forest Sold to California Com
 

Sept. 19-Chief Forester Graves is on his way to San Francisco to make final arrangenn entS under which a California lumber company will pur- chase 0 million feet of timber the Sierra National Forest. The timber has already been awarded, after public advertisement, to the highest bidder. but under the terms Of the advertise ment the final signing of the contract will not take place until the company has been shown on the ground what timber the Government will reserve from cutting in order TO preserve good forest conditions and produce for re- production
 The, company will be allowed its full oo million feet but naturally it swill not be allowed to cut clean As a rule the Forest Service reserves some thing like one-t1lird of the forest stand in applying forestry on Government holdings A marking board made up one from the District office in San Fra ncisco and the local Forest Supervisor will carefully mark a sample area, to show how the restric- tions on cutting will be applied. Rep .resentative.s of the compony will then go over this area, after which Chief Forester Graves and his assistants will, it is expected, make final ar rangen ents with the company In San Francisco, and the contract of sale will be signed
 4sThe Forest Service said Mir Graves in speaking of this sale, .'hae received number Of inquiries in selling so much timber to single purchaser tae Government may not be opening the way to n1onopoHstic control of local lumber markets. Other correspondents are disturbed lest the sale prove a bad bargain for the Gov ernment through the rise in value of the timber in the twenty-two years during the company will cut.
 "Such large and longtime sales Of National Forest timber as that to the California company are a new de- velopment in the Forest Service. Great bodies of mature but inaccessible tim berz can be put on the market only if sale contracts are let on terms which will justify a very heavy initial investment in transpor tation facilities. Tn entering into such contracts, how ever. special safeguards to protect the public against monopoly and to pre- vent an undue speculative profit to the purchaser are employed.
 ssThe National Forests contain. in all the equivalent of nearly 800 billion feet Of timber now of merchantab1e size, besides young growth for future harvest. Because if it's remoteness from market and the wild. noun ain- ouls country without transportation facilities, in which most if it lies. only a. small percentage can now be sold on any terms. Most of it would cost

 The timber which has been sold to the California company lies we'll back in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and will require the construction of TO miles of standard -guage railroad to will also open up other National Forest tim Der and will be a common carrier, it creates another safeguard against monopoly The company is given cutting period of tWenty-tWo years to remove the timber, besides an additional two years for the construc- ton of logging and misunderstanding facilities The sales was publicly ad- vertised for six months in order to give an opportunity for all who wish make bids. as is done in all large Ma tional Forest sales.
 .sNo business organization would undertake the heavy investment neces- sary in such cases unless the handling of a large body of timber and a suf- ficient period in which to remove it under practica ble logging conditions are assured. The great difficulty in making such long-term sales is to establish a prize which will be fair to conditions well enough to know what stumpage will be worth ten, fifteen, or twenty years hence.
 .Consequently the terms of sale pro- vide for the readjustment of stumpage prices every five years The basis for fixing the prices will be, in each "a seJ ' the prices Of manufactured lurn- Der in the markets where the timber is sold during the preceding two years.

LOCAL PASTOR WRITES
 VOLUME 0N 5. s. WORK
Volume From Pen Of Dr. Hsrker Has Attracted Wide Attention
 in the East

The Work of the Sunday SchoOi' is new volume which has recently attained wide circulation. It is from the pen of pr. Harker. the new and popular pastor of the First NJ. E. church of this city, and was published a short time before Dr. Harker came here from Freeport. III. Concerning this publication an eastern journal of wide circulation has the following te say:
 'The Work of the Sunday School" of which pr. Harker is the author. is a book which makes both for effici- ency and inspiration. It is pre-emi- nently readable book. It has buoy ancy alG uplift. It is never tiresome. Ii keeps one wanting to know what is coming next. I is written out of pastoral experiences and observa- tions as well as out of the cullel wis dom of other books. Dr. Harker did not say, Go to now. l will write book" and then sit down in his study and write it. Rather he stood before his teachers and his Bible class. faced difficulties, applied himself to the so- lutfon of them. and then meiitated. While he was musing his heart burned He wrote because there was a fire in his bones. How dc l know that this was his method? Because his book tiirobs with pulsations that can only come from this kind of preparation The book is the result of study and will incite to study, but it is not pre-eminently a study hook. It is a book to make one resolve to be his best. to study he hardest. to be patient and loving with pupils, to see human souls as God sees them. to have an open vision to opportunity.
