MORE TIMBER SALES
MADE IN NORTHWEST
80 Per Cent. Aided Small Opera
tor, Involving Less Than 500
Only II Over $4,000.

A substantial increase in sales of
timber from national forests in Wash
ington, Oregon and Alaska has been
made during the past fiscal year. ac-
cording to figures given out by the
United States forest service
With the close of the twelve months
ended June 80, 1918. the reported
amount of government timber cut in
the states quoted aggregates 115, 5,046,OO0
feet. The number of new sales is 673.
The amount of timber actually sold
reaches a total of 483,S28,O00 feet
board measure. These figures show
an increase over the previous year of
1926, 900 feet in amount of timber cut.
The number of new sales in the fiscal
year Of 1912 was 656. as against 673
last year, while the amount of timber
sold is greater by 2S2, $780, 900 feet.
In addition to timber sales proper,
3.403 permits were issued to settlers
and farmers for the free use of ma
tional forest timber for domestic pur-
poses. This use took 14,756,O0O board
feet.
The average stumpage price was
$1.S2 per thousand board feet, an in
crease of 16 cents per thousand over
prices received in 1912. A feature of
the timber sale business in the states
reported on is the large proportion of
small sales made. to men of small cap
ital to supply the needs Of people liv-
ing in or near the national forests and
to furnish business opportunities to
the small operator, in pursuance of the
avowed policy of the forest service to
provide first for local demand before
selling timber for transportation to
distant markets. Only II Of the 673
sales covered by the report were for
more than $4,000 worth of timber
while 92 per cent. of the total number
consisted of sales involving less than

HERE'S CHANCE TO
MAKE SOME MONEY
Local Cannery Will Pay 4 Gents
Per Pound for All Blueber-
ries It Can Get.

Offering new industry to Thurston
county and chance for as many peo-
pie as want to to make some money,
Manager Mark Ewald of the local can.
merry announces his company will buy
all the blueberries delivered to it dur
ing the season starting within the
next week or so, paying for them at
the rate of cents a pound.
That Is what the picker will get for
his work, for the blueberries grow
wild and luxuriantly in this and Ma
son counties and on the nearby islands,
in patches of hundred acres or more,
according to Manager Ewald. All the
picker has to do to get that 4 cents a
pound is to deliver the berries at the
cannery and an ordinary man, accord
ing to Mr.. Ewald, can pick 100 pounds
day.
This is the first time these berries
have been handled to any extent COM
mercially and, in Mr.. Ewald's opinion,
there Is no reason why 1t should not
develop into steady industry. Last
year the cannery packed 10000
pounds of them but this year it will
take all of them it can get and the
pack will probably reach $4,000
pounds or more.
Mr.. Ewald's announcement comes as
a direct reversal Of the statement re.
Gently made that the cannery would
not handle blueberries this season and
is due to the fact that there is scar
city of these berries in the Eastern
markets. The cannery has already ar.
ranged for sote ~ families who are
going into the woods and establishing
their camps in preparation for picking
the berries, which will begin to ripen
in week or so.
The cannery has also contracted
with all the pickers on the near by
islands for the entire crop of blue
berries there Last years pack came
almost wholly from Vaughn and Long
Branch, which are headquarters for
the island pickers, but Mr.. Ewald ex-
poets that as many berries will be
picked in the wild fields surrounding
Olympia this year as anywhere else.
Any one or any family who wants
to make some money during the blue
berry season can find out all about 1t
by calling at the cannery. for 1t is anx-
ious to get as many pickers in the
field as possible. Pickers and berry
growers of the county see In this offer
an opportunity to recoup the losses
sustained to their cultivated crops
during the wet weather of the early
part Of the summer and are taking ad-
vantage of the offer, but the cannery
has arranged for only small portion
of the number of pickers it wants to
put into the field so there is an excel
lent chance for many more.
The cannery is busy now with a
heavy pack of plums and pears, hav-
ing bought a carload of pears in the
Yakima market, which arrived this
week.

COUNTYS PROPOSED
LEVY MUCH HIGHER
Commissioners Estimate Shows
$44.733 Increase-$25, 900
More for Roads.

Including an increase of $4,000 in
the road and bridge fund, $2,4O0 more
for county schools, $1,000 for moth
ers' PENSIONS" $1,000 for the new city
and county library, $1,38S for the new
weights and measures departments,
and some smaller increases, the esti-
mates of the cost of running the coun-
ty government during 1914 show an
increase of $44,733 over that for the
current year and a probable increase
of 2.43 mills in the county tax levy.
For the current year $202,815 was
raised by levy for the county govern
ment and the proposed 1914 estimate
totals $247,54S. This increase, together
with that of the state and the county
schools. probably will boost the city
levy to at least 4S mills for 1914. as
against 43 for 1918. For the current
year the county tax levy is 9.35 mills.
but the unofficial estimate of the 1914
levy places 1t at 11.78 mills, the prob
ability being that it will go higher.
The county commissioners will
meet at 10 o'clock Monday morning,
October 6, to give taxpayers ar op-
portunity to be heard in favor of or
against any items in the proposed es-
innate. At that time the levy will be
definitely fixed, so it behooves all who
may object to the estimate to appear
before the commissioners then.
During the current year Thurston
county has $4,000 of its own money
to spend on roads and bridges and
enough more from the state to make
its total fund approximately $4,000.
For next year the commissioners pro-
pose to raise $4,000 by direct taxa
ton in the county for this purpose,
which will make the total amount
available for road and bridge work in
the county during 1914 about $4,000,
when the funds received from the state
are included The increase of $2,400
in the estimate for the county schools
is based on the attendance as estimat-
ed by the county superintendent show
ing an increase of 240 pupils through
out the county, $40 per pupil being the
basis of the estimate.

GALLAGHER FEARS
BASEBALL TRUST
Introduces Resolution in the
House to Have Congress
sional Investigation
(Nationa1 News Association


WASHOINGTON, April 22.-Repre-
sentative Gallagher, of Illinois, intro
duced a resolution directing the speak
er to appoint special committee Of
seven members to investigate the base
ball trust. Gallagher wants to know
whether or not unjust discrimination
has been racticed in favor or against
players; whether players have been
preiudiced, coerced or restrained from
the exercise of their just rights to ell
ter into contract of fair and equitable
nature, and whether the base ball mag
mates have effected a combination in
restraint of trade.
The resolution also directs the attor-
ney general to make inquiry TO deter
mine whether any of the club owners
should be prosecuted under the Grim
inal section of the Sherman antitrust
law
The measure declares that the base
ball trust is the most audaciOus and
autocratic in the country; that it sti-
fies competition, fixes prices which mil
lions of men must pay, and virtually
enslaves players by forcing them to ac-
cept salaries at terms offered them or
be forever barred from playing in or
ganized base ball.

MADE LYNCH SMILE,

NEW YORK, April 22.-President
Lynch of the National Baseball League
today ridiculed the idea of base ball
trust and seemed highly amused over
the announcement of a proposed con
gressional investigation.
There is no base ball trust" de,
clared Mr.. Lynch. Everything in base
ball is fair and above board. The re-
serve clause, as often attached, is
placed in a contract to protect club
owners and to protect base ball. If
there were no reserve clause it would
be only a few years when a few CLUBS
would own all the star players and SC
rob the game of it's interest"
