Sale of Timber on National Forests.

The government is selling 267, 000,0 900
board feet of timber in the Priest
River Valley of the Kaniksu National
Forest, Idaho. This sale differs from
most of those made by the government
in handling its national forest timber
business. Not merely the ripe timber
will be sold to make room for new
crop, but on part of the area the pur-
chasers will be expected to take every
thing in sight, after the timehonored
fashion of most numbering that is done
on private lands. In short, the forest
will be destroyed.
In the Kaniksu sale part of the area
will be clear-cut because the land IS
more valuable for agriculture than for
forests. Stump land in the same neigh
borhood sells for as high as $40 or $50
an acre; sometimes even more. While
the present stand of timber on the best
land within the forest is, according to
the forest service, in general worth
more than the land apart from the tim
Der, the annual returns obtainable from
farm crops make agriculture the best
form of use for this land.
To open to homestead entry land
with from $4,000 to $1,000 worth OF
timber on each homestead unit, as is
the case on many homestead areas or
the Kaniksu, tends to put premium
on it's entry BY timber spectators.
From the spectators they go to lumber
companies, and the lumber companies
may hold back agricultural develop
ment either by keeping the timber In
tact for long period, or by cutting the
land lean and then holding it at price
which the prospective homebuilder look
ing for cheap land to develop can no
pay. Therefore the government doe
not open to entry heavily timberet
agricultural land on national forest
until after the timber has been cut off
In this instance the federal govern
ment will receive about $3.50, 900 for tn
timber, of which sum 1925, 900 will g
to the benefit of the state for publ
schools and good roads, and the res
will be covered into the treasury. A
told, the yearly receipts from the na
tional forests have been about So, 000
COO, of which timber sales have contr
buted about one-half, but the fores
service reports that the demand fc
government timber is now increasin
rapidly. Since July 1st twice as muc
timber has been sold as was sold in tt
entire preceding twelve months, ar
while the timber will be paid for on
as it is removed during term of yea
the forestry officials expect to see tir
Der receipts mount up fast each we;
during the period immedately ahead.

MARKET ST. SITE
FOR P. 0. FAVORED
Business Mems Improvement
Assn Sends Letter TO Con-
gressional Committee.

Efforts are being made by the
Market Street Business Mems I'M
provement Association to have a
Market street site selected for the
proposed new postoff1ce. A letter adj
vocating this plan was sent today
to the congressional committee on
public buildings and grounds.
A meeting of trustees of the assoc
citation was held yesterday after
noon, when a committee was au-
thorized to communicate with the
washington committee. It is urged
that a site in Market street east of
Broad street be chosen. The Market
street men point out that this would
mean a larger increase in tax revenue
to the city than a site chosen in any
other part of the city.
1t was also declared that business
on Market street was not as brisk
since the opening OF the Park place
terminal, as the majority of persons
travelling between here and New
York use the rapid transit line. This
has diverted the crowd from Market
street. and the placing of a postoffice
there will supply a needed impetus.
The proximity to the railroad is also
shown as an advantage of having the
postofiice on Market street.
